I rewrote our entire product into htmx in a weekend

[@ThomasValadez-tv]

I spent a weekend debugging a bundling issue that happened with 30% probability . It was an issue that only expressed itself on our CI VMs - docker node-buster: 20, it happened because a dependency 4 times removed included babel and run commands that didn't jive with my apps vite and yarn.

[@jonl316]

Great Interview, this was very helpful.

[@hypermedia-tv]

thank you!! i thought his story was fascinating

[@piotr-nowak]

It's nice to hear someone who doesn't cling to a framework and treats it as an oracle for writing a program. I like this new wave of programming returning to simplicity: less is more

[@hypermedia-tv]

simplicity has such long tail benefits!!

I remember in '95 building a .shtml wrap around center content that would change based upon the surrounding hyperlinks...cool stuff...

[@maxmediagroup9657]

For your HTMX examples website: IMHO, submission of code that is pre-approved before display to avoid spam code...such code components need to work in order to build trust in the library and website...

[@hypermedia-tv]

yup, submission with personal approvals, i like it!

I need to rename my ship in Helldivers to Locality of Behavior.

its currently called Separation of Concerns

This conversation doesn't really convince me to use HTMX - sure if I am creating a simple website, but nothing more than that.

[@hypermedia-tv]

yeah, hopefully these conversations will show the stuff it is very good at and the stuff it doesn't have an easy path for. would be curious to hear your experience if you get into it!

I think the secret that I tried to get across is that htmx (or anything on the front end) is already solving the wrong problems. The secret to great developer experience is a strong backend stack and then getting a bunch of value out of light weight htmx as a front end helper. The magic happens on the server, not on the client.
