Hey I am sponsored by Turso, an edge database. I think they are pretty neet. Give them a try for free and if you want you can get a decent amount off (the free tier is the best (better than planetscale or any other))

20 years to go from HTML generated by the server with some JS for interactivity to GUI programing in pure JS back to HTML generated on the server with some JS. Time is really just a circle.

The more you understand the more impressed you get by simple stuff, because in reality, there's so much complexity underneath everything, it's awesome

@15:24 totally hit the nail on the head. I'm laughing with you but crying on the inside because it's a struggle to make dev-friends with a busy life working part-time in a warehouse while looking for a dev job after graduating boot camp while trying to support my family (wife + 3 year old + one incoming) while keeping the house from falling into chaos living with parents while trying keep my passion for coding from burning out. Life's hard but it doesn't have to suck!

Apple has had the Hypercard since the 1980s, Carson based HTMX on the Hypercard, and Apple had the opportunity to have had revolutionized browsers before Brendan Eich ruined them with JS. But they were to busy going bankrupt in the 1990s and trying to get Jobs back.

I love the take on browser developers vs server developers. Where I work we are split into "web developers" and "software engineers" (aka back-end). I'm the only full-stack developer in the department. It is so painful to see people in their respective camps hyper focused on their small slice of a project. They can't see how their actions/inactions effect the devs on the other side of the fence.

I was able to dev a software that acts as if a SAP by just using HTMX with django... No Frontend framework... It works wonders
-
This was a great video reaction. I sense fresh air from the HTMX direction that is exciting. Having built sizable projects in Ember (long time ago) and then Angular (still maintaining that one), not having a front-end framework seems wonderful. Also, I love how surprising and abrupt the signoffs here are!

I have microfinance system in Django and htmx.A life saver,dont have time to manage react complexity,when i have more important things on the backend,like ledgers , accounting and api integrations.😊😊

I think I just might have to jump in to HTMX as an old backend/fullstack head that never really fully jumped into the React/VUE.js land. I love how you can actually use HTMX with the old skool style CDN
