@saltyAom For me, the biggest problem is half-done features. The frontend bundler is fast, but it's worse than Vite in other ways. Then there are problems when running Vite in Bun. The test command is fast, but it lacks the features of Vitest. There are problems running Playwright. etc

@gkurttech Nice, it’s always great to see experiments around handwriting. 🤩

Streaming text is rendered with handwriting animation. The layout is calculated with Pretext. Has kerning logic and accurate glyph positions. Text is selectable.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

@kettanaito The worst thing is, you can't publish a package name within 2 Levenshtein distance of another popular package name. This makes it practically impossible to find a <5 letter package name.
English
Tired of namesquatting and npm packages with 10 downloads 😔 Choosing the name is the most tedious part of publishing your work. Bested only by the pain which is publishing to npm.

@Devgru It's not manually positioned. I used "lh" unit for all padding and gaps in CSS to make them align well.
Aligning things with "lh" is one of my favorite tricks in CSS. Here is another one. x.com/gkurttech/stat…

CSS Tip: This is the only line-height you’ll ever need for consistent line spacing. line-height: round(up, 1.32em, 12px);

@gkurttech nice combination of grid-aligned text lines and off-the-grid boxes/stickers.
was it just manually positioned or is there some heuristic behind?
English
@kettanaito Yes. I readed the manga too. It's one of my favorites. I just don't understand the economy of having a new season at this point.
English
I cannot believe we are getting the second season of Dorohedoro after six years of waiting. Mushrooms through the roof.

Japanese has the untranslatable concept of you (derogatory). Actually it has like six at various levels of insulting

I am not talking about an empty and meaningless kind of ownership that business people talk about. I am talking about the power over code to know and confidently answer any question, or fix any problem with it, and keep maintaining it. You are usually cooked if you don't have that kind of person in a large codebase. And I can say AI isn't that kind of person (for now at least).
English
@gkurttech What about it make someone not able to feel ownership?
English
A similar thing happened back when coding was mostly done by people: your team faced up to an aggressive deadline and quality slipped to meet the demands of the business.
The solution is the same in both cases: discipline to pause and polish before things get out of hand.
I don't think focusing the effort on review is scalable given the current volume. Using the tools to fix the problem makes more sense, IMO.

What happens to your codebase when you stop reviewing your agents' output

@captainsafia It's a feasibility issue. You can generate 100k lines of code a day now, but you can't realistically feel ownership of each one. There is not a single human being with that much attention span.
English
@gkurttech I think not feeling ownership is a cultural issue, not a technical one or strictly a result of agents being used.

@ericzakariasson This is why I am building Padrone with agents in mind github.com/KurtGokhan/pad…

@RyanCarniato While trying to understand how this works, I discovered a new way to demonstrate why React is Just Javascript™. I don't know Solid well, but I believe the first component below would require a compiler to run in a framework like Solid.
English
If people didn't quite get what I meant with the diagram. I suggest you try to build this contrived example with the framework of your choice:

Async in frameworks happens in 4 phases: 1. create 2. consume 3. block 4. read The problem? Most fuse 2 & 3. Consumption triggers blocking. This puts DX (coloration) at odds with UX (blocking). Solid 2.0 snaps them to the poles. Colorless logic. Non-blocking UI.

@ryanflorence @DavidKPiano Remember last year how the consensus was the opposite? I though it was mass psychosis and I was right.

@jarredsumner Will this be able to connect to existing browser sessions with CDP?
English
added chrome support. windows will also have webview2. still fighting with CI

In the next version of Bun `Bun.WebView` programmatically controls a headless web browser in Bun

@stolinski And you aren't sure if it's because the stuff you do is genuinely difficult, or because you are more critical about it. That's the thing I wonder at least.
In any case, seems like nothing much has changed x.com/i/status/19542…

I started doing a lot of vibe coding in a JavaScript/Rust project. The coding agent is very good at Rust, and I find it very useful. But I happen to rewrite nearly all of the JavaScript code it writes. Can you guess why? Because I am bad at Rust.
English
It's crazy how AI is really good at the stuff I don't know anything about and total dog shit at the stuff I do.
