team decided to go all in on react. i never touched frontend stuff except for lit (don't @ me). perfect timing. thanks @odysseus0z ! tj-zhang.com

Yep. Except: 1. This was about important internal tools. The team was stuck in some architecture nightmare of their own doing (writing it in rails but headless, with graphql api, and a SPA react app, constantly needing frontend engineers for changes). I call this kind of thing 'cosplaying an enterprise production app'. All that complexity was in the way and using straight rails was perfect in that case. 2. I make calls like this all the time. Usually someone on the team asks me to. They see what needs to happen but don’t want to be the bad guy. I’m happy to just make the call if I agree with… Quoting @ErfanEbrahimnia just leaving this here JavaScript Related

Screenshot diffing, feedback inboxes, PWAs, and of course local-first sync layer with self-hosted backend. Matches up pretty well with my approach on personal apps thus far into the LLM coding age. Curious to hear from others. Quoting @flourish.org I vibe coded three personal apps that I'd wanted for a while. They work on mobile and web, sync offline first between them, and are polished. This write up describes why, how, and what I learnt. www.flourish.org/2026/08/pers... LLMs Related

been making a single-page app with pocketbase.io this week and it's been a nice experience. I like making single-page JS apps with a Go backend API and this means that I don't have to write the Go backend. Really impressive project given that it's built by one person in their spare time. Related

Unexpected Codex use case: set up an Android handheld for me. @johnvoorhees got me into this: enable USB debugging and just let the agent rip. Codex installed Cocoon frontend on my AYN Thor, transferred all my ROMs, and is currently configuring emulators, mods, and other apps. It's just working in the background and cross-referencing YouTube/Reddit sources to set everything up, so I can focus on cooking for the family instead. Incredible. @dimillian Related

Lately, I've been running a local fork of the Android emulation frontend Cannoli, you can see the changes here: https://t.co/wCaJerqK3A I hope to get some some of these changes landed upstream, but in the meantime, it's so awesome to have a customized launcher that totally meets my niche needs like this. Thankful that the GPL exists to enable this type of work and delightful use of software. Related

Go read this post from Mat Duggan right now -- "@ClickhouseDB is Winning the Observability Wars". Go! I'll wait. https://t.co/LOsYeGNUJH "Every other observability backend I've worked with mutates as it grows... ClickHouse at 10 TB a day looks like ClickHouse at 1 TB a day with more shards. That's it. That's the pitch. That's the whole reason I'm writing this." Duggan's piece is a riot from start to finish. He talks you through all the pain of scaling Elastic, LGTM, and Datadog, and shows why a little tiny bit of upfront effort buys you SO MUCH EASE down the road, as you scale indefinitely. W… Related

Why Rust is different, with Alice Ryhl
3 beliefs, in the piece's order there
TypeScript
Their words
But okay, so to begin with, I think when it comes to TypeScript, Rust fits in as the backend language. That's where I would put it. I wouldn't use it in the front end. I think it's a pretty good fit for backends, API servers.

Their words
So usually it will never show up in say a backend server. You would have zero uses of unsafe there. Generally when unsafe is used, it's to add a new feature to the language.

TypeScript
Their words
My opinion is that the least mature area is front end. There have been some attempts to compile Rust to Web Assembly and then run it on the web as a front end as a replacement for TypeScript. But if I was writing a web server, I would totally use Rust for the back end and TypeScript for the front end. I would not really go the web assembly route.

deepsec is very cool! I ran it against our main backend repo at @khanacademy and it found some really interesting edge cases. Spun up an agent team in Claude and addressed all the high-impact issues. This likely would've been a multi-week, or month, effort otherwise!

Their words
It's just that Zig, C, C++, all those languages that were being tested, they're all LLVM backends, right? That's the one that actually turns the thing into the executable part. And if there's a variation in speed, it just means in one language you didn't quite express what you are supposed to correctly.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
