The pivotal moment of transitioning from intermediate to advanced @typescript was realizing the type system is a programming language in itself, w/ variables, functions, conditionals, & loops. Utility types like Required, Record, Pick, Omit are all built with these primitives.

What is this you ask? It's the built-in @nextjs "take a break" screen that happens about every 20 minutes while developing. 😥 The app router dev speed is certainly faster than old pages router now, but you still get dumb stuff like this. This is latest nextjs + node v20

I’ve officially stopped coding for @Flightcontrolhq 😯😁 End of an era 🗺 Now I can focus on hiring, product design, marketing, etc. I’ve always been more interested in product design and business than coding. So I’m more than happy to have a team doing the building 🤩

WHOA look at this fancy new Discord UI spotted in the Remix discord! It's a fancy UI + tags on top of discord threads. Forces people to use threads, which is great for help channels

The most absurd thing I’ve heard from a tech influencer is that the only people that can have good opinions about a technology are those who are pushing that tech forward. If you are merely using it (ex. Lambda), you can’t have a good opinion. Only the elite experts working on

Lol, somehow I’ve uncovered a rare bug deep inside npm infrastructure that’s preventing me from publishing new versions of @blitz_js One of their engineers is working on this and is belong very helpful and providing clear updates.

Clocked another year, 33 in total 😊 It’s been an incredible year taking @Flightcontrolhq from 0 to 1. But the best part has been all the great new and deepened friendships and acquaintances. I celebrate you all!

Vercel keynotes/launches are not helping the React discourse. Because it seems everything they announce is a next only thing they developed, where some of this is react specific that anyone react app will be able to use.

Ever wish Next.js had better type-safety on the routing layer? We did too, so made a pattern adding full type-safety and runtime validation for route and query params. In this blog, I detail the pattern and include the little code utilities for you to copy/paste. Link in next

Being a solo founder is overrated After working with others on @blitz_js , there's no way I'm ever attempting something solo again

Here's what I think @remix_run really shines at: 🔪 Giving full control, i.e. sharp knives, to the developer. Contrasting to Next.js which gives dull knives so you don't hurt yourself. 🔀 Routing: both nested and great integration with data-loading

How can this @PlanetScale be considered serverless even in the loosest definition? It doesn't even have any type of autoscaling We're considering switching to Aurora

Is @PlanetScale adopting the AWS usage of "serverless" that's not actually serverless? We are hitting 100% CPU memory and it's saying we need to upgrade our plan, but the plans don't say anything about CPU and memory 🤨

PSA founders and startups — you don't have to pay $36,000/year to get blazing fast Next.js hosting. You can get the same, or better, perf AND the ~same DX with @Flightcontrolhq + AWS for < $1,000/year
