I blame the rise of frameworks, libraries, and IDEs.

My thoughts exactly. Frameworks on top of frameworks with a lot of cruft that will incrementally make software slower and buggy.

That, coupled with the fact that business owners just want things shipped. Quality aside, I dont even think they care about products being good anymore 🥲

Elon Musk is challenging conventional business practices with a unique strategy for his tech ventures

Lol. What exactly is he doing differently from what every other greedy corporate shareholder of any large tech monopoly has done?

Make promises he cant keep? He said he would open source Twitter code and he's done exact opposite.

Try to extort money out of users for basic features? Making people pay for Twitter blue to DM.

Prevent developers from making third party apps by forcing absurd rate limits?

Sounds just like any other money-hungry big tech CEO to me. 🤷‍♂️

I was thinking about switching to GitLab. But after reading your comment... not so much.

Yeah works amazingly well on Linux too

Hmm cloud-based solutions for this scare me. But ok if open source.

I'm never going straight to lemmy.world. This happens even when links are going to a Lemmy post on my instance, programming.dev. For instance, I'm viewing this post on programming.dev, and I just had to log in again to see it.

My comment is in reference to the UI. Auth and APIs require a different set of tech and have nothing to do with the UI.

I'm usually just either clicking a link that directs me to a post on this programming.dev instance (via my RSS reader) or just typing the programming.dev domain in my browser bar. Neither of which seems like it would have cross-domain cookie issues, so not sure what it could be.

I appreciate improving the UI, but why all the frameworks? Building simple static pages using the native web platform would give you a super fast site without all the cruft. Using Rust in place of JavaScript? This just sounds like we're trading a "frankenstein’s monster" with something that will eventually end up being another version of it.

Hmm I didn't have to log in and I'm able to see everything and reply. I just upvoted a few things while on it. Maybe it only works for a subset of users?

Yeah which makes me believe they're probably going to axe it

Works for me! I can even see all the upvotes you got with all the replies.

😉 Thanks

Edited the OP to explicitly include the protocol in the link. That may have fixed it. Try clicking on the link in post again.

Oh so they're getting rid of then? You happen to have a link with more information about when it was proposed? I can't seem to find any useful information on it.

Ironically, this comment reads just like an AI wrote it.

Hmmm a more reasonable first step would be to just not even type anything until you're ready. But TS makes it hard to iteratively type parts of your codebase over time. One could type using JSDoc syntax for these cases, though.

As a JS dev, I can only wish we had those types 🥲
