Holy moly. Playing with the Indie stack for
@remix_run
and I think I'm in love. The way Remix is laid out and the technologies chosen in the stack is just hitting me right in the sweet spot of productivity and excitement. This side project might actually get off the launch pad?!

Always bet on progressive enhancement. ALWAYS. Remix is going to make it mainstream again 🤘

At the @remix_run Utah meetup tonight, I demoed progressive enhancement with remix-todomvc.fly.dev and @JLarky pulled it up on this phone and it freaking works and I think that's just awesome. That's what progressive enhancement is all about! ⚡

Remind me sometime to tell you the story of how Twitter went with a bunch of microservices written in Scala when we were trying to scale our Rails monolith… and named each one after a different bird. As if the architecture itself wasn’t already confusing enough 😅

Good engineering teams are laser focused on the needs of their app and have the ability to say “no” to shiny new tech when they don’t need it. It’s a sign of maturity. I love to see it 👍

Really interesting podcast about a real production team making pragmatic choices to ship an app to millions of users. I love stuff like this. Ignore the trendy new shiny and focus on your product and the needs of your app!

Stack Overflow runs nine (9) on-prem servers to host all its sites, and found that giving SQL 1.5 TB RAM was more effective than caching page fragments with Redis. And it's a monolith 🚀 Awesome interview with @rla4 and @shanselman: hanselminutes.com/847/engineerin

How do you find a doctor? Seems like a great doctor might not have the best online presence, so it makes searching for them tricky.

React makes only UI/DOM construction "declarative" through Components and composition, but leaves server communication for data-reads/writes, revalidations, error handling, caching very "imperative". That's why you need
@remix_run
, it makes all those things "declarative" as well!

If we do our job really well, some of the ideas we have will eventually be standardized and you won’t need a framework at all (ala querySelector and jQuery). That would be a huge win for the web! Of course, building on standards in the first place helps us get there. 😉

It’s a privilege for us to be able to work on
@remix_run
and influence the conversation at all. I’ve written a LOT of code that will never see the light of day. Back when nobody cared what I wrote or said. Having a seat at the table is a tremendous privilege. 🙏

My sincere hope is that all the other frameworks will steal all the ideas we have in
@remix_run
and use them to build better frameworks. Next is doing nested routing now. Great! 👍 Keep going. We have lots more ideas to share with you. 😅 This isn’t a zero sum game!

Having a framework that helps you manage network complexity drastically reduces the amount of code you typically have to write to do it yourself!

Hiked Angel’s Landing at Zion National Park last week with the family. In a few spots there’s a 1500ft. drop on either side of you. This is me trying to pretend like it’s no big deal 😅

I've been in mobile dev land for the past 8-10 years. I'm a little over a year in now on my return to web development. The speed with which I can spin up a project idea using
@remix_run
stacks on
@flydotio
is astonishing. Web development has come a long long way in 10 years.

If you haven’t built something real with remix.run yet you might not believe me when I say it’s merging the best of both worlds It looks like a boring old server rendered framework, to the point you can use it with JS disabled, but then optimizes it with client JS

Most apps just ignore the complexity, updating state locally and letting things either loudly break or be subtly incorrect In Remix, you still just update State locally. But then it tracks all the async transitions for you and handles race conditions, cancellations, errors, etc

Currently working on my first project using
@remix_run
and it happens all the time that I code something and it just works right out of the box light you would expect it to work. So intuitive to use, haven't had that level of productivity with similar frameworks yet.

When you use
@remix_run
, a lot of the stuff you learned in online React courses just isn’t really necessary anymore! 🤘

Replying to @kentcdodds @ryanflorence and @remix_run
Remix is already pretty amazing. I’m following a non-remix react course on egghead, but I’m using remix. I’ve been able to skip so much stuff that’s just no longer necessary. Less code, fewer bugs, and way easier to understand.

The best thing I’ve done for my mental health here is to start being very liberal with the mute button. There are a lot of negative & toxic people here, but there are also kind, inspirational, funny, and helpful people, thoughts, & ideas. Keeping those front & center is key.

This is strongly felt when using Remix The React community is definitely a sucker for ‘•,~*cool code*~,•’ so it’s unsurprising a lot of people look at it and go “thats it?” Remix does a great job hiding all the complexity it’s solving for you. I run into so few bugs in my app

Guarantee you the other candidates didn't handle race conditions, cancellations, errors, and revalidations. But the interviewers sure were impressed by the boutique-but-broken code! Meta goal of Remix is get web devs to care about the UX, rather than be amused by abstraction
