I was surprised to find that Barnes n Nobles has a decent selection of quality toys for infants to toddlers. Toys have their own section at my store. I used to buy toy/book gifts at Target but the options are so much more limited.

Yea this! How many devs say "it doesn't do what i expect" did not try to write up a plan of action before it just YOLO'd some new features? We have to learn to use this new tool, but how to do that is still changing all the time.

There's a huge caveat i don't see often, which is that it depends on your language for programming. IE. AI is reallllly good at writing Next.js/Typescript apps, but not so much Ruby on Rails. YMMV

Everyone posting should be considerate of your language/stack. It's pretty likely that Cursor doesn't work equally for every language. I'm working on a Next.js/Typescript/Solidity monorepo with multiple apps and packages and it handles pretty much anything I throw at it. I know I can squeeze more out because I have only been really using it heavily for the past month or so.

And Typescript simply doesn't work for me. I have tried uninstalling extensions. It is always "Initializing". I reload windows, etc. It eventually might get there, I can't tell what's going on. At the moment, AI is not worth the trade-off of no Typescript support.

Have you tried using Cursor with Claude embedded? I can't go back to anything else, it's very nice having the AI embedded in the IDE and it just knows all the files i am working with. Cursor can use GPT-4o too if you want

email is such an annoying standard for storage. i think i'd prefer a simple local SQLLite db with flat HTML files. You could use Next.js and output as 'standalone' if you wanna use React to generate the HTML

What are you talking about WRT Koa? Express 4 does not support async/await natively in its middleware. That means if your async method throws an error, you need to catch it and return it yourself or else it will just crash the app. That's one reason why I currently use Koa. Express 5 finally supports async/await and it is only now being officially released.

we actually used an .ai domain and one night, round 11pm it stopped pointing to us. To add a record, the registrar at AI literally had a spreadsheet which upserts all the records when they upload it, and someone fat-fingered the row with our domain. It took the whole night to get a hold of the one person on that island who could fix it. This was about 5 years ago, maybe they've gotten better.

As a full-time Node.js dev, I agree with your decision! Too much time is wasted on compatibility problems. I'd almost say it was easier when we just had browsers to deal with. At least you could just drop in jQuery and call it a day.

It's not "unbundling" they literally just added new costs for features that were originally free because they can get away with it. So far, I have also found you are now REQUIRED to pay for your seats if you want to sit together. Frontier splits me and my wife even when there's seats available

I went from 3a to a pixel 5 on backmarket, it's a great upgrade and doesn't really sacrifice anything. I am still waiting now for a new pixel, but even the 7/8 don't look interesting enough.
