Honestly insane how many of these tier 1 backed VC companies have the same story:. -cofounders from some prestige background sell VCs on some pie-in-the-sky concept that no one wants.-raise $100m+ .-hire random roles like a chief AI officer for a non-AI startup.-have 0 users.

@ryanflorence @mjackson It could have been great. Faster iterating on hooks to find a more ergonomic model could have worked, and focusing on using this language to solve the hard parts of UI like animations would have been :chef-kiss:. instead it's all RSC. interesting but only applicable to a smaller.

yes I'm interested in Remix 3, only because @ryanflorence and @mjackson are part of a few people I'd trust to build something new. I hope it's not too Shopify-influenced though. I need to try vue & svelte again though, it's been a while.

BY FAR the biggest reason I'm souring on React is the discrepancy of what's happening in the DOM and how I express my code. I just want to do something on mount, just want to create an instance once and never again, or 100 other things. React has built it's own language so you.

If I started a company/worked for a new startup I’d want the ethos to be “quietly demolishing”. No constant bragging, posting large numbers, etc. just quietly wiping the floor with our competitors.

There’s a phenomenon where I have a great idea but within 24-48 hours I can’t find time to execute, and it dies. sick of it. considering just ditching other work and doing what I actually think I should be doing for a couple months . (I won’t ignore family and friends though).

I really really want to like @splinetool. what's up with it's shadow system though? it's buggy as heck. you can't use a displace modifier and have the shadow respect it?

it is so frustrating going to other 3d tools like Spline after learning Blender. so many basic things not supported (global/local mode and so many others).

I need a better way to render these. Using Cycles and increasing the fluid resolution explodes the rendering time. What is the easiest way to offload Blender rendering? Is there an easy service?

CRUD is dead for the most part. Only specialized apps anything like that now.

personal software on steroids. i've been building some life management apps that all center around a long running Claude project that i add project context to and break off bits into small purpose built apps. for latest instead of CRUD ui i added mcp server (oauth) and it's 💪🏼.

😂 I forced ChatGPT to generate a .blend file example of something it was trying to describe and it gave me a .blend file just with the word BLENDER
