Don’t let all of the old heads glazing jquery in this thread confuse you - they’re just nostalgic. There’s no reason to even think of using jquery in 2026

It still amuses me how literally people took Kapathy's famous tweet around vibe coding https://x.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383

If people were to actually read beyond the first sentence, it would become clear very quickly that this was meant to be tongue in cheek.

Who's "we"?

Software engineers? The ones who proudly refuse to unionize?

A hiring freeze is typically a freeze on new job reqs (candidates already interviewing wouldn't be exposed to this)

This is frankly, useless. What is the problem being solved here?

This is an unacceptably bad launch post.

Looks like someone took this tweet literally https://twitter.com/davecheney/status/1296033304756404225

Many of the benefits and concerns are tackled in their respective chapters. Even so, I want to emphasize that Server-side tagging has the potential to overturn the current dynamic of data collection and governance for an organization. You own and have full control over the server-side environment. You have access to tools and methods to thoroughly vet and validate the traffic between network sources and your advertising and analytics endpoints.

Not quite sure what's so revolutionary about this -- isn't this what Segment and other similar products have been offering for the better part of a decade?

By declaring dependencies in code (usually with annotations or decorators)

Simple views are easy enough to handle, but these functional style guis don't tend to deal with complex views very well.

Why is this voted so high?

That’s terrible, really sorry that happened to you. The good news is that you have an extraordinarily rare and valuable skill set as a compiler eng

Well, here’s another one - this is easily one of the most useful cli tools that I’ve installed in a very long time. This is amazing work!

How do you prevent collecting PII/passwords/other sensitive data to avoid situations like Mixpanel's Autotrack fiasco? https://mixpanel.com/blog/2018/02/05/update-autotrack-data-c...

Similar question to the grandparent - wondering how you go about maintaining a relatively large catalog of integrations with limited resources (I worked at an integration platform as a service company and remember maintenance of those to be the most resource intensive part of the product)

Airtable as well

This is a great point, and on a second reading my comment did come off as a little insensitive -- will leave it up to give others context and make this a teachable moment for all of us to improve the level of discourse :)

“Journey” is a bit of a stretch here, no? :)

This is a few lines of pretty trivial code

This is a different argument than what megous was making (JS's support for mutating arguments validating that it's a good practice in a broad sense)

"Unobservable" or local mutation is completely fine (and pretty common in most functional programs that get to any significant scale)

React Native?

Google Wave

Was anything else happening during the course of that week?

How many times does the React community plan on skinning the same cat?

Same reaction, there’s a point buried extremely deep in all of the stream of consciousness

This was such a pleasure to read, holy cow. I absolutely love the interconnection between different fields bound together by graph theory.
