What I love most about this video is the focus. At every moment when the nattily besuited presenter drapes himself over an expensive chaise, the camera instead prefers the plate describing their choice in wall hangings:

@NfNitLoop Oh! This is interesting! (and I can't tell you how much of a breath of fresh air typing that is)
SPA might make sense for this! And so might Svelte (which, of all the choices you could have made, is deeply into "least worst" territory).
Can you say more about key management? How does this intersect with Web Crypto? How do you do multi-device?

@slightlyoff Ah, yeah. My recent experience has been writing a UI for my “FeoBlog” project. I’m not a UI guy, so looked around at options & landed on Svelte.
The UI is currently an SPA for 2 reasons: 1) the user’s private key should never be sent to the server. 2) proof-of-concept that others can write a standalone client by only using the public API.
In hindsight, wish I’d gone a route that would allow SSR w/ the same codebase. Maybe one day. 😅

*: No, it's fine, I'm familiar with the behavioural economics literature and the many biases and fallacies are self-evident. But thank you. You're here, and I appreciate you for that.
Mastodon Feed@NfNitLoop I think it counts as a solid because you need to chew it. Both sound great!

@NfNitLoop: *mostly* this means retreating to the server, unless your app/UI features very long sessions behind a login. Happy to discuss your specific situation in DMs.

@NfNitLoop the Svelte ecosystem is wrapped around Rich's (much better) priors and affinities than the React disaster. Prefer that world of those are in a binary choice for you.
All-up, consider the last decade of JS excess as an NTSB crash zone; your job is to map it, understand how products died, and ensure it never happens again.

@kornel Yup. I live in a rural area of California that has outages frequently enough that many homes (including mine) have backup generators.

@blithe does Mac and cheese count as “solid”? Assuming not, probably a good burger? Thankfully Heiðar makes a kickass burger so I wouldn’t have to go far. 😊

@slightlyoff as a person somewhat recently venturing into JS-web-framework land, I’d love to hear some of the problems here.
I’ve liked using Svelte’s all-in-one (HTML/CSS/code) file structure, and recently saw some CSS-in-JS libraries for React, but haven’t gone far enough down those rabbit holes to experience the pain for myself yet.

Apart from being generally educational, this video about human genetic haplogroups will probably be a serious trigger for American white supremacists, who would realize their closest relatives (haplogroup R1) also live in central Africa around Niger and Chad. (Not that I encourage engaging in any sort of meaningful conversation with white supremacists.)

If the people who were telling you that the last decade's excesses were fine, actually, were out here helping to remediate the damage, that'd be one thing. But that's not where we are.

"Fundamentals don't matter" is how we got "CSS-in-JS".
Groking why holding your platform wrong guarantees a bad time is not an idle skill; it insulates your team from floating dead in the water.
As someone presently digging multiple teams out of the "CSS-in-JS" ditch, with huge wins for products, teams, and users on the other side, I think I've earned this dissent.

An important addendum to this (while I wait for another build to finish) is that the goal of getting in touch with these other sub-disciplines is to help you identify which skills *in your own layer* are foundational, and which are less likely to survive the next correction.
Gaining an appreciation of the stack from the point of view of other layers will help you gain perspective on your own systems, which makes you more valuable and effective.
