Stacks

Fork your dependencies, trim them to only your use case, never update unless it breaks for your users. I’ve been vocal about this for 10+ years. I’ve always said that updating is way riskier than latent bugs (which can be tracked and CVEs monitored). If you are updating a dependency, it’s on you to analyze every single commit in the full transitive set of dependencies. If you dont see anything compelling, dont update! I remember at HashiCorp once in awhile an engineer would try to update a dep or replace a DIY lib with an external one and id always ask “show me the commit we need.” Dont update for the sake of it. Feeling pretty swell about this mentality with all the supply chain attacks happening.

Bun with the full stack single file executable bundle. Saying this as someone who just ported a ~50k Rails app to pure bun. Rails is legacy tech and its really not keeping up

In the next version of Bun `bun build --compile` & `bun build` get support for bundling full-stack apps into a single file. HTML imports on the server kick off a frontend build ahead of time. This makes it simpler to deploy full-stack React apps.
