Seems to be cool right now to dump on GraphQL. But ~5 years ago I was working with a BE team who refused outright to make any UI-specific REST APIs, meaning we were calling 7 different endpoints, and doing 5 rounds of id-matching to build this simple UI. Perf was horrible.

Hosting the next mildly festive 🎄 edition of the London Future of Coding meetup next Friday! If you're in London and excited about end-user programming, weird interface design, and making (seemingly) dumb things with computers you should come along lu.ma/uxbpj86e

She really just typed out the words “living on the streets as a lifestyle choice”
The British people are compassionate. We will always support those who are genuinely homeless. But we cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice. 1/4

Feel like you don’t quite understand Server Components? Like, you know what it looks like to use a framework, but you don’t know what’s going on in terms of @reactjs as a library? I was the same. Once it clicked for me, I made this talk. Hope it helps! portal.gitnation.org/content…

Such a clever idea. Wallets designed like classic desktop folders. By nikolasbentelstudio.com/shop Good idea, well executed.

It’s not too late. Maybe you could add loops as a premium feature with a charge to developers per user iteration

If I started a full stack app today, I would probably use a computer.
