I'm with you. I've never found the "used by $BIG_NAME_COMPANY" to be influential for me at face value. But anecdotally, I think that level of marketing has been effective in getting devs to bring them up in that context. I've heard in meetings throughout my career, devs saying: "It's good enough for $BIG_NAME_COMPANY, it'd be good enough for us". That alone has influenced decision makers to at least consider it.
Now, if the site uses the company logo in their list of $BIG_NAME_COMPANY that links to one of these discussed blog write ups, then I'd accept that as a useful quick glance way of promoting that info.
Otherwise, just a list of logos and/or company names does feel lazy and non-convincing to me.
The original decision, to me, feels like the wrong one and with no long-term thinking considered. They are now making another poor choice based on framework-hype.
I've been sensing this coming for some time given what Rome has been working on. Will be interesting to see how the rewrite pans out!
Any discussion these days around eslint reminds me of a new situation that still has me very confused where I've encountered a team of engineers that refuse to allow any formatting on their code. Are there any folks that run large JS/TS codebases with no automated linting/formatting by choice and maybe feel similarly or worked with other teams that do? I've come to expect eslint (and prettier) to be pretty much a given for a large JS/TS codebase.
One feature for code search that I've wanted for some time that could unlock some really interesting results would be to allow search to reach into the git file history.
I've found myself sometimes thinking that something existed in a particular codebase and I go to look for only to discover that I'm unable find it. Then, I realize that the code I was looking for has been removed. I can only find it by browsing back into the history figuring out the events that led to the deletion or change. Being able to search the history would be killer IMO.
This is something that I'm working on and I believe a couple of others as well. My solution won't be available until early next year though, as indexing public repos at scale is far from trivial and I'm expecting this will consume over 40TB of fast storage to be performant.
I’ve not seen any evidence of the most influential voices in my network moving now that Musk is running it, but it’s still early I guess.
I really value some of the opinions and discourse I find on Twitter. However, I despise Musk, his brand and vision. I’m torn, but I’m planning to discontinue my Twitter usage and evaluate if there is a successor in 3-6 months.
I also feel like this is the actual use case of Vite. Don't want anything else but be able to roll a static site together, while using some vanilla html, css and js with a few assets attached.
My experience as an engineer with ~10 years of experience (4 of which working remotely):
I've seen no data that'd indicate a meaningful shift yet. I've also seen no shifts from recruiters reaching out to me about in-person roles. All recruiters reaching out highlight that the positions they're looking to fill are fully remote. (I receive anywhere from two to ten outreach messages per day)
That said, my experience doesn't mean that there isn't or won't be a shift, but I haven't found or observed any evidence yet. I believe there is still an abundance of work for engineers wanting to work remotely right now. The remote opportunities are far, far better than any time previous to 2020.
