Interesting to know. Personally I've also been trying out other library/frameworks, like Vue, AlpineJS, or just plain server side rendering.

I have heard a little about ClojureScript here and there. Will take a look at it when I am free!

I know there will probably be some complications here and there, but this could be done with Web Components too, right?

I read one post before that really resonates with me, couldn't recall from where though:

    You love JSX, you don't love React
Many of the jobs in my location requires React though, so I have to tolerate it somehow.

Working with multiple teams in a large project, hooks can be a nightmare to maintain.

I see 7x layers deep of hooks, with no test cases to support them. Some of the side effects are not properly tested, and mocks that abstract away the whole implementation means the test case only works for certain scenarios.

FWIW this scenario might be an outlier in large projects, considering how some developers prefer to "just wrap the hook in another hook, and not worry about its internals".

I think it's sending my message to the server continuously

It is, at least I see it for the first message when starting a new chat. If you open the network tools and type, you can see the text being sent to the servers on every character.

Source, from spending too much time analysing the network calls in ChatGPT to keep using mini models in a free account.

To Logan's credit though, his team made and drove a lot of good improvements in AI studio and Gemini in general since the early days.

I feel his team is really hitting a wall now in terms of improvements, because it involves Google teams/products outside of their control, or require deep collaboration.

It was one hell of a ride, but I would say the Angular team did one hell of a job too, supporting the glue code until v18 (not sure if the latest version still does).

Having both old and new Angular running in one project is super weird, but everything worked out in the end.

Had a meeting where developers were discussing the infrastructure for an application. A crucial part of the whole flow was completely dependant on an AWS service. I asked if it was a single point of failure. The whole room laughed, I rest my case.

Very interesting thought process, with lots of nitty gritty details. I recently had some idea around a repetitive process at work, and decided to try it in TUI. Oh what a ride it was!

Even armed with a library like charms or bubbletea in Golang, sometimes its just amazing how all the internals "clicked" together, to render layouts and widgets.

One can use uv to add into the dependencies list

    $ touch foo.py

    $ uv add --script foo.py requests
    Updated `foo.py`

    $ cat foo.py
    # /// script
    # requires-python = ">=3.13"
    # dependencies = [
    #     "requests",
    # ]
    # ///

Yeah always thought error handling is a bit wonky in Go. (Un)fortunately, most of my tinkering with Go are just toy level scripts. Thanks for the write up, will check the library!

Thanks for the reply Dan. That was a great write up, if I might add.

And yeap, you're right! If we need a lot more client side interactivity, just rendering JSX on server side won't cut it.

IMO this feels like Preact "render to string" with Express, though I might be oversimplifying things, and granted it wouldn't have all the niceties that React offers.

Feels like HTMX, feels like we've come full circle.
