Stefano Bartoletti

My new portfolio website is finally live after many weeks of work! It has been built with many great techs: @nuxt_js, @tailwindcss, @daisyui_, @storyblok, @Netlify, GSAP by @greensock, Lenis by @darkroomdevs, @threejs via @tresjs_dev. It is live at stefanobartoletti.it

@edo_lunardi Or worse 🤣

9/10 times someone flexes a 100 Lighthouse score, the site looks like this

I hate the phrase "code is cheap" so much ✅ Communicates that code has become cheaper to produce ❌ Implies that code is disposable, low worth, not worth caring about Code is the environment the agent operates in. Better code = better output

A little new useful feature in my "Nuxt Social Share" module: now together with social sharing buttons, you also have available some "Ask AI" buttons. You can try it with `npx nuxt@latest module add nuxt-social-share` nuxt-social-share.stefanobartoletti.it/usage/supporte…

@maxedapps I'm heavily leaning towards "yes". No matter what tools I use, I'm still responsible for my work, for the quality of what I ship, for possible issues that can come out later. Having powerful tools is not a justification for laziness or carelessness

Do you still read the code? SHOULD you still read it? A nice ragebait topic ... but it has a very important core, I think. And the answer is not a simple "yes" or "no" ... at least not for me.

Then, I've also repurposed a page on my website, previously dedicated only to my open-source projects, that now displays various achievements that I have unlocked through the years: awards, recognitions, talks, and other cool stuff. Have a look! 👉 stefanobartoletti.it/achievements/

💥A brand new version of this starter, still using the same Nuxt codebase for the frontend and with the same feature set, but with @sanity_io as the CMS. 😎 Some other stuff that I hope to be able to talk about soon! More 🧵

What I'm active on lately: 💪An updated version of my @nuxt_js + @storyblok starter, that includes: a tailor-made page builder, blog and portfolio features, @greensock and @LenisSmooth already included and configured, SEO and LLMs ready, and more useful features. More 🧵

@bnpne_ @edo_lunardi You can always play with object-fit and keep the ratio you need

@edo_lunardi haha bro thats easy until the client adds 3 landscape-aspect images in a row and its broken. the hard part is designing around the image aspects IMO

Idk, I keep seeing designers pulling this off and thinking they killed it (this took 45s)

@Praha37v It really depends on your current stack and what kind of customization and design you are aiming at. I like DaisyUI and NuxtUI, but for the great majority of my projects I use none.

Hey frontend developers, list the best component libraries you know. We need something great for our upcoming project.

@maxedapps I think I lost some news, are you talking about Fable or is there something else I should know?

Sooo ... we're now entering the worst possible timeline as it seems: Access to the top models a select few, breadcrumbs for the rest. So many interesting ways for China to play this. Go closed source and try collecting money + more data? Play the good guys and keep the models open and coming to close the gap? Maybe both? Open for now, closed once there is no gap anymore?

@shadcn In working together with designers and learn to contaminate your skills with theirs

We talk about taste in design. Where does taste live in code?

@edo_lunardi Your code has no bugs because you scare them away

Your SaaS is not your hardest build. This is. Looking to connect with engineers and creatives, bonus points if you're stacked. If you're bigger than me, come mog me in the comments. I'll allow it.

After years of using it, sometimes TypeScript still gives me some headaches. Ngl, it feels like an unnecessary complication and a slowdown But the reality is that it forces you to solve problems before they can crawl unnoticed into production, so thanks TS for your pedantry :D

@heyandras Me too, when help arrives can we share it ?

i am currently in a phase of development that I am unsure about everything send help

Idk a single person shipping professional stuff with Lovable, Replit, Bolt, V0 etc… anybody? Maybe it’s my dev bubble 🤔

@cassiecodes @NoomoAgency Thanks for sharing this. It's becoming really underwhelming to see all these cheap marketing strategies, I wonder what real benefit it is bringing to these people, other than looking ridiculous to the eyes of everyone in the industry

I'm so bored of the "watch me scroll someone else's site for clicks" brigade. No, Claude didn't do that. You didn't do that. @NoomoAgency did and this is really getting old. Bring back shame, why aren't people ashamed anymore?

@edo_lunardi Nice to see that the underlying principles of properly crafted stuff are common between good professionals 🤓 Good job mate 💪

A link is a string in the hero, an object in the nav, a reference in the footer. Three definitions of the same idea, each drifting on its own. Every section speaks a slightly different dialect, and the frontend spends its life translating. Part IV of The Content Architecture is out, the last one. All the way down to the primitives every section is built from, the layer nobody writes down. One rule holds it together: every decision lives in the CMS. The frontend consumes, it never assumes. Four articles, one product: a production-ready Sanity and Next.js starter. Launching next week. Link in 🧵

A lot of noise about agents, skills, tokens, models, flexing about credits spent... What about software actually being built, use cases, problems solved, maintainability, accountability, code properly written, usefulness for real people?

@mariosmaselli You are not alone in this, being consistent in social media is a work in itself

I got completely swamped with a bunch of projects all at once and had to stop working on my portfolio for a while. Now I'm slowly getting back to it. I guess I need to finish it ASAP before this happens again. 😅 One of the things that I never understood from other people and the consistency of posting. If I get work I'm completely focus on that and I can find the time to put on social media. Anyway... I'm back lol

I'm not sure why people think that it is a good idea to let AI produce thousands lines of code in multiple files unsupervised, instead of using it to quickly iterate in small controlled batches where the developer can actually read and understand the output
