After experiencing ad hoc inline scripts, frameworkless jQuery spaghetti code, inflexible monoliths like angular, and overly simplistic micro frameworks like backbone, I'm super happy with where we're at with react and react like frameworks. I really do feel like we've hit the sweet spot between power, simplicity, flexibility, and ease of use which is why I'm confident that things aren't going to be as volatile as the past. React is already 10 years old now and still going strong with no new trends looking to usurp it. I think those old trends were necessary experiments to get to where we are now, and I think the old meme of web dev changing every week is no longer true.
I've had a good time with react SSR and SSG particularly when using next.js which does a great job optimizing out of the box, but really SSR and SSG are functionally just glorified string interpolators so anything will do. What matters is ease of use and with the strong community and toolset available to react I've had no trouble setting up react for SSR/SSG.
Where things still need improvement is with hybrid apps that take SSR/SSG pages and hydrate them to be ready for the client to take over, but that's always been a pain point, and while we're still not where we need to be I do think it's better than it's ever been and we're on the right track to cracking it.
Maybe it's because I've seen how bad things can get that I'm appreciative of what we have. After experiencing frameworkless jQuery spaghetti code, overly complicated monoliths like angular, and overly simplified micro frameworks like backbone, I'm really happy with the frameworks and toolsets we have now, and react's ecosystem is very mature.
I would say that react is overkill for SSR, but pure SSR is pretty simple so react is also able to handle it just fine and elegantly as react is even easier to use when you're not dealing with dynamic state, and if you find the need to introduce some hybrid client side functionally, which pretty much always happens eventually, it's a good thing to be on react.
Here's my hot take as a dev who's been making websites since before JavaScript and css were invented: modern web development is leaps and bounds better than how it was and the rapidly changing best practices had a big part for how we got there in the time we did. I think the industry is in a great place now and now that it is things have slowed down and the focus is now on stability rather than changing development patterns.
The people that need the most help have the least capacity to help others. You should also get close to people with the strength to help others too. Having to be there for everyone will become exhausting, but not everyone is like that, you need a balance.
Also, could it be that you're not reaching out enough to ask for help?
Then you've only been to one type. There are family friendly shows that are no different content wise from taking your kid to see a face character actor at Disneyland.
If I understand it correctly it's basically community to community federation, so when you subscribe to a community it also pushes other community posts it follows to your subscribed feed. Those posts would still show up as those other communities. A community becomes not just a place to post, but also as a curator that vouches for other communities as well. You could even potentially have a curate only community like a lemmy best community list to get newbies started, or category level communities.
It's still called programming, coding is the same thing. Assembler more commonly refers to the utility program that converts the assembly code to machine code while assembly refers to the code itself, but the term assembler code is also valid. It's uncommon to simply call the code assembler because it would be easily confused with the utility program.
Even for indexes I do index or something more specific for what it's indexing. Any simple iteration I just do map or each so the only time I ever need to actually index things is for more complex scenarios in which case it's worth it to have better names. Also with modem IDEs, auto complete is really good so you don't need to write a full variable name more than once.
So ignore all the things he says should be done beyond deplatforming and just get angry about made up assumptions that you extrapolated off your interpretation of tone? Get outta here
