on: Software engineers can no longer neglect their soft skills
IDK, at many large orgs...there are developers that essentially communicate through "tickets" and "their lead"... and Def never talk to "business" people or customers. It's not very rare if you get a large enough org.

on: How do you do, fellow web developers? A growing disconnect
I think the problem with C (well my problem) was the *& characters all over the place. I think because I spent too much time with pascal where (in my opinion) the pointer syntax is more symmetric.

on: How do you do, fellow web developers? A growing disconnect
I don't think that's an exact analogy....maybe if you're using react in some oddball/low skill way. Flash (and ...javafx/applets/whatever the id equivalent was...I can't remember) were 1000x more bumpy than react.

on: How do you do, fellow web developers? A growing disconnect
I was going to say the same, I have a webxr (virtual reality) site that has a few react components on it, plus a few vanilla javascript libraries in the main page template.

on: How do you do, fellow web developers? A growing disconnect
Umm, how is it a one way street? Just add a <script> tag and implement what you need... I'm not 100% convinced that using react from jump street "Just in case we need something in the future" is a great idea. That having been said, I'm not sure I've built a completely static html page in the last decade.... So I often start with react/angular.

on: Show HN: Fireproof – local-first database with Git-like encrypted sync
User of Couchdb for similar use case...been keeping up to date on a parallel branch of my solution using fireproof instead of couch. Still early, but great potential...stumbled onto fireproof because I was about to write an adapter for couch (well Pouch actually, but same same) to replicate in a similar manner to fireproof.

on: Cloudflare Dashboard Down?
I noticed planned maintenance in Duesseldorf, wonder if someone accidentally "flipped the wrong switch"?

Hmmm, suspicious that right after this cloudflare dashboard goes down. Sorta feels a bit like when AWS east cost took a hit and random other things stopped working (because they or things they depend on were running on same infrastructure)

We beat their status page by 10 minutes and downdetector by 5 minutes.

on: Cloudflare Dashboard Down?
Well I was in middle of DNS change and the "remove" was completed when it went down....I guess I need to start to get a little more diligent about "what will happen if second part of operation can't be completed :o ?"

Note, just saw big traffic spike and realized there's no way to give feedback in the tool (sad trombone).

on: Triplit: Open-source DB that syncs data between server and browser in real-time
Yeah, docs say last write wins (at the field level though, not the document level).

I don't 100% know in the case of triplit, but pouchdb does what you describe for "free" (i.e. you don't need to code it). firebase uses a websocket, pouch uses (I believe) long polling.

on: Triplit: Open-source DB that syncs data between server and browser in real-time
Interesting take, I just switched from firebase realtime to pouchdb. I was getting concerned about firebase "local first" not really working how I expected and pouch fit the bill nicely. I like the idea of field level sync and wonder if triplit would be faster than pouch.

on: Ask HN: Is the tech layoff trend new or has this always happened?
I wonder about this myself (sorry don't have a strong opinion)...but today we're so connected and I constantly wonder "if a tree falls in the woods and nobody tweets about it, did it actually happen?"

on: Microservices are hard
Or as I like to say "Oh, you have a big ball of mud in your monolith because of poor design and want to move to micro-services?"..."now you have n^n big balls of mud" Poor design is poor design, adding more complexity just makes it a more complicated poor design.
