Is your legacy software system no longer meeting your business goals? At our next #CodeAsCraft Speaker Series, Software Engineer @bellmar and Etsy’s own @gredaline will share strategies for modernizing legacy codebases. Sign up here: bit.ly/3sjCcLf

@yaymukund GitHub Pages maybe?

The Islands Architecture is cool: server-render HTML with small "islands" that get interactive independently. Explainer by @_developit: bit.ly/islands-a Etsy's usage w/Preact: bit.ly/islands-b Patterns incl w/Astro: bit.ly/islands-c

@sufianrhazi Thanks Sufian!

@gredaline Dang, this is excellent, great work!

I wrote a blog post summarizing the work I've been doing with my amazing teammates for the last two years, creating the infrastructure for server-side rendered Javascript at Etsy. I'm really proud of what we built! codeascraft.com/2021/11/04/mob…

@jakevoytko Thanks! It was a little painful to reduce all of the Reactor work to one sentence even if it made sense for the audience. 😂

@ksylor @techwolf359 @esaevian Miranda is @Ch0xi! ♥️

@ksylor is the bestest of the bestest.

Also @esaevian and @Ch0xi (and our other not-on-twitter teammates) contributed so much and made this project so much stronger, I don't think it would have happened without them. ♥️

I tech led this work, and it was by far the biggest and most ambitious engineering project of my career so far. I was super out of my comfort zone at first and there were some rough patches, but taking this from wild idea to real thing was an amazing experience. I learned a ton.

@technoheads ♥️♥️😭

Great writeup of how @Etsy implemented @ksylor's "Islands" architecture in PHP and Preact. h/t to the Etsy folks. legacy-compat was fun to build!

@ag_dubs @nomadtechie @ksylor @cmeik Random, but I think I met @cmeik briefly ages and ages ago at my very first Javascript meetup in Providence, RI when I was baby web engineer, he was the speaker maybe? What a funny full circle moment. (Chris, I doubt you remember this, it was not otherwise memorable. 😂)

@nomadtechie @gredaline @ksylor relevant, cc @cmeik curatedtalks.com/watch/ember-co…

PSA: We are rebranding frontend development. You can thank @gredaline & @ksylor . 🔥🔥🔥

@ksylor @nomadtechie @TatianaTMac ❤️ I was definitely riffing on other folks’ thoughts! But I’ll never forget going to a talk about writing async Python (sounded so intimidating to me!) that began with “if you write JS you already know how to do this”. I had just been assuming what I knew how to do was easy.

The more I build my frontend engineering skills, the more I see how it's systemically undervalued.

@thomasABoyt I do! Spam filtering is pretty solid, if anything it tends to have false positives. But also I'm lazy about correcting it when it is wrong.

@kamalmarhubi @ksylor It's on YouTube! youtube.com/watch?v=xyryms…

@ksylor @whereistanya @codeascraft thanks!

@whereistanya @ksylor was the RFC talk at etsy @codeascraft recorded? if so is it available somewhere? I saw that the slides are up, but I get a lot more out of talks as talks :-)

@rhonorv This delights me so much in so many ways. Congratulations!!

On this, the National Day of Cats, I would like to share that as of my marriage to the best person ever two weeks ago, my legal name is now Rachel Honor Petacat. Yes we made it up and yes we are trolls and yes our parents hate it!!! petacat.us #NationalCatDay

@samantha_gold It delights me you think so. ❤️

@gredaline I love this for you. It is so logged on. You’re the most secretly logged on person I know.

What’s something you hopelessly overused and now cringe at? Mine are 1. that terrible photoshop leaf brush, and solar flare and 2. stuffing a bunch of untyped props into an optional array at the end of a class.

@ksylor Let's talk about it when you're back from vacation!

@ksylor I would totally do this if you get the yarn. But no promises on speed. 😂
