There’s only one real language … JavaScript.

Agree, that would be delicious.

This feels like it was written by AI

[terminous → jjdeveloper]

Stop. This kind of low effort comment needs to be a violation of HN rules, because it never contributes to the discussion.

See to me personally, I don't think this feels like it was written by AI. But this isn't going to be a productive topic of discussion.

No it doesn’t.

On: Storybook for React Server Components

[jjdeveloper]

Agree, storybook has too many little issues and slows down smaller projects. I too feel it’s ideal for larger, slow moving projects.

On: Astro to be acquired by vercel, speculation

[jjdeveloper]

Where is the $90 million figure from? Was this disclosed somewhere?

On: Why Tailwind CSS Won

[jjdeveloper]

It’s still growing, those two others have flatlined or shrinking

On: Why Tailwind CSS Won

[jjdeveloper]

That’s not tailwind code. Would be class="my-4 sm:mb-5 lg:mb-6"

I wanted to go down this route but Astro can’t render table rows without being wrapped in a table tag. Which killed this as an option for me

[Etheryte → jjdeveloper]

Why would this be the deal breaker of all things? If necessary, you can tack on both the semantics and the layout properties to any container really.

[flagrant_taco → jjdeveloper]

Astro renders JSX to html, what happened when you tried to render a table row without a wrapper table rag? And more importantly, what is a table row doing outside of a table?

[jjdeveloper → flagrant_taco]

Astro removes the html tags and just renders text, so I can’t return a new table row for simple crud setup. Only when it’s a valid table does it not strip out the html.

[flagrant_taco → jjdeveloper]

Oh that's interesting, never seen that happen before but I must have just never run into that use case

On: The $5 Plan

[jjdeveloper]

Fly use to not require a credit card and could use the free tier. I setup a few instances just to trial about a year ago, about 6 months ago these instances started costing about $12 per month, I just logged in the other day to discover this. I feel now if I wanted to use their services they would back bill me for these test accounts I wasn’t using. Feel they could have notified me when they started charging so I could have shutdown the accounts.
