@eevblog Mack U600 comes to mind

I've been looking at cars on the road. Why are there no visually asymmetrically designed cars? Apart from functional reasons (exhaust port, side opening tailgate, number plate etc) all visual design elements are symmetrical. Yeah, yeah, I know, humans like symmetry, asymmetry is branded ugly. But why so few examples of it and so many companies unwilling to rock the design boat? Are us humans that wired to symmetry that it's impossible for an asymmetrical design to be successful? Only major production example I can think of is the Nissan Cube, and they only did it because it's part of the functionality of the side opening tailgate.

@TechByTaraa Depends on the design

as a developer, what do you prefer for frontend?

@zeeg JetBrains

What’s the best IDE right now that isn’t full hands off to agents, but integrates them extremely well? I need to rewind time a bit and stop wasting it

Tailwind Eye. My plugin for WebStorm for folding TW classes and visual fading non-TW bits, for context switching without much clutter. WIP. $2.80 in tokens so far. 95% vibe-coded

@combab0 @DavidKPiano Here’s a minimal store: gist.github.com/ericfortis/999… And here’s a store on a real example: github.com/ericfortis/moc… It doesn't have a to be a class, but it's often clean than passing params around. If you need several API calls on a model, you could create a setter for the 2nd

@DavidKPiano I'd like to learn what the "right way" looks like in practice. Could you recommend a few open source projects that you think follow this approach well?

This is the right way to go for most apps Stop baking app/biz logic into the UI layer; it's only convenient short-term And stop calling separation of logic "over-engineering" - it's just regular engineering

If Nintendo's NES Super Mario Bros was made with Unreal Engine

@UiSavior developers who design…

Designers who code are the most valuable people in tech 🦜

@ipwanciu it could break pixel-diffing tests

Put this into your main CSS file; it won't break your app, I promise! 👇 Your customers will thank you!

@FrontendMasters nothing after React 16.6 solves real problems

The React docs pushed everyone toward Next.js/Remix, but most of us aren't at Facebook scale. Client-side React is still 100% viable. Use the right tool for YOUR problem. Not every React app needs a framework.

The Tool That measures circles in seconds

@ash_twtz @vivoplt yep, also because (1) they use a non-optimal compression levels, because (2) they compress at runtime, which is slower too. on the other hand, e.g., with nginx you can pre-compress static assets

Interviewer: CDNs make websites faster. Then why can a CDN sometimes make your website slower?

@javka1214 @DavidOfMesa @MozDevNet it dedups error handling

@efortis @DavidOfMesa @MozDevNet This is literally worse, why would you refactor it? async/await is better and I don't see any benefit or meaning from your refactor other than introducing bugs blindly

Meet Promise.try() ✨ A new static method that wraps any callback in a Promise - handling both sync and async execution uniformly. Start experimenting now 👇 developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…

Why do people want their client side router to be a component? It makes everything you do that's not rendering so weird. Like side effects. Router API design was solved long ago, they're callbacks. Just do callbacks.

@rmedranollamas @rauchg @nextjs CGI en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Ga…

I started the @nextjs you know today from a 𝚁𝙴𝙰𝙳𝙼𝙴.𝚖𝚍 specification. That was the singular commit that set it on the trajectory you see today. We proceeded to furiously write code for weeks as we saw a unique window to disrupt the React ecosystem, which primarily consisted of "boilerplate" repos and static-only tooling. I now believe most software (and companies) will start out as markdown files, but it's agents that will be doing the furious coding. And the releasing. And the maintenance. I'm pretty happy that the API we laid out is as relevant as ever today. It's simple, filesystem focused, and its principles remain unchanged. v0-nextjs-hello-world.vercel.app

@DavidOfMesa @MozDevNet right, thanks! fixed the 2xx check. FWIW, `api.getState` is bound on its class

@efortis @MozDevNet I think you've introduced two bugs. api.getState won't have "this" bound. And "response.ok" is no longer being checked.

@denicmarko also, it deduplicates them in IDE autocompletion.

CSS tip: Stop duplicating your CSS for Dark Mode. The new light-dark() function lets you define both values in a single line. It eliminates the need for redundant media queries and keeps your variables in one place.
