Yeah companies try to be fancy with these JavaScript heavy applications using React when sites work perfectly fine without all that stuff.

Ok you’ve peaked my curiosity.

but with large potential consequences.

What are some of the consequences you see?

Not surprised that Tech debt is among the biggest. There seems to be a lot of complexity added to apps unnecessarily these days-especially web based apps. It’s almost like companies purposefully force their engineers into creating web apps so bloated that users have no choice but to use the native app version.

This is great news! Weird that I’m subscribed on all of the earlier Firefox GitHub discussions and didn’t notice it. I wonder which version was the first to have Firefox support feature in it.

Probably just for aesthetic to tease you. Then doesnt work when you click it. So business as usual, I guess… 🥲

Oh wow, I didn’t know that! Is there any official statement? Search didn’t turn up anything. I guess I don’t necessarily need to know exactly how it went down, but I wanna be nosy. :D

You shouldn’t wait because it’s going to happen. I moved all of my projects off of Github and Gitlab, and now self-hosting my own gitea instance. It’s been great and never looked back!

We’re all always dissatisfied with something

Not many things require a polyfill these days. My guess is a lot of older sites are affected.

Yeah, because anything that isn’t a big new JavaScript framework is just way too complicated

Yeah git reset --soft then the sha of the last commit you want included in reset.

Mine are pretty sassy

This is helpful. Thanks. Didnt even realize it. No need to use something to point out how its not a good look. It’s still good to bring more awareness around how sites like Github are becoming a more of walled gardens. I agree with everything else you said though.

Thought it was the best way to meet hot guys

Express, JavaScript (with JSDocs+TS for type-checking) and Postgres

I like TypeScript for its types and type-checking, but I also want to write JavaScript to avoid having a local build step, and having to wait for things to transpile/compile/etc when running locally. I have a pretty large project where I’ve gotten both worlds by just using JSDoc and only using TS for type-checking. VSCode still offers built-in type-checking with JSDocs and ofc the type-checking can also be run separately if needed.
