It's time to listen to you want it darker.

On: The magic of small engineering teams

[pictur]

This is a case of managing technology teams with the mindset of a product manager. It can also be said that it is an effort to find a solution to a problem that does not exist. I prefer 2 teams that work much more dynamically to 18 teams dealing with a very small region.

Looks like it works pretty good for them. Maybe managing like an engineer is not such a good idea

On: Jujutsu: A Next Generation Replacement for Git

[pictur]

Git is already as simple as possible with its own commands. I feel like we are making simple things more complicated with tools like this. If I start using this tool instead of git, I will probably start doing something hacky at some point. I don't want that. I don't want a history that keeps changing and getting weird with the use of rebase/squash. I don't think conflicts are a problem as long as a single history is kept up to date properly with git. The smoother the history, the easier it is to merge.

That is easy when you work alone. It becomes more difficult as your team grows in size.

Weird take as Git is making things much more complex than they need to be, which is proven by Mercurial and Jujutsu that are much more intuitive while being as powerful.

On: It's not just you, Next.js is getting harder to us...

[pictur]

next js is one of those projects that unintentionally makes things complicated on purpose. Everything is going very well up to a certain point. but at some point you find yourself in a server <-> props hell.

[bryanrasmussen → pictur]

how does one unintentionally make things complicated on purpose?

Next.Js made things complicated unintentionally because they thought that a folder based mapping of routes was good and would evidently scale to their customer base's needs.

Then they were so far in that was one of the things they couldn't undo.

Oops.

I think for some reason people don't like such simple tools. I think it seems more reasonable to deploy a vault service running on kubernetes with jenkins. In some comments, they didn't even understand what the tool was for. Dear dude, you can travel between dimensions with this tool.

The last sentence is a good way of consoling yourself. I hope no one takes his advice seriously and implements it. Good luck with your own nonsense.

[pictur]

if you look at most npm packages, you can see that versions that do not support es modules are downloaded more. and it's been like this for years. an example package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/p-queue?activeTab=versions

Different ideas are of course important. But companies that take every idea seriously usually have as many ridiculous problems as there are ideas. So not every idea may be really good. Accepting this liberates a person.

On: Figma’s Journey to TypeScript

[pictur]

People think typescript is really the silver bullet. If a developer writes crappy code, using tool x will not make him write great code. and the tool may not improve the project either. It's really tiring to work with people like you who are morbidly in love with a tool.

I love these ridiculous articles that this guy writes as if he is telling very important things.

Would you rather your ears be isolated from hearing differing opinions?

DHH's entire personal brand is about sharing his awful, scornful, combative takes with the world whenever he has an incendiary thought. Has been for a long, long time.
