ok time to do the big pixie.town server indexing operation to see what actually runs where on my (old) servers

@nota@chaos.social thousands is way overblown for most projects, but yeah, if it's security critical, you audit your dependencies. which tends to be a whole lot easier when they're all small as opposed to big kitchensink frameworks

weird how sleeping too much makes you extra tired, way to go humans...

@nota@chaos.social that's what dependency versioning and lockfiles are for

a copypasted code snippet (from copilot or anywhere else) is already a dependency, you're just making sure it never gets bugs fixed.

use (small!) dependencies.

advertisers ruined the web. not javascript. not "lazy" developers

@morgan@cathode.church hmm, that's usually just frustrating to me though :/

but also maybe it's just good to have at least 1 activity where i'm not creating things all the time..

want to play minecraft again but scared of falling in the hole again where it just all feels so pointless

Oh Hiroshima - In Silence We Yearn

tech bros think CSS is a soft skill right up until they have to use it, at which point it's "overly complicated" and "needs to be re-envisioned from scratch"

woah, remote debugging node processes is pretty cool

copy-pasting or writing a solution to a ""simple"" problem might work, but how often do you really understand all the edgecases.

what if instead you cooperate with others to write the dependencies you all need, and thus get much higher quality code you can upgrade across projects

Github Copilot:

- automated license violations / license laundering

- all these snippets you get are copy-pasted from existing code, which means they are *perfect* candidates for separate, maintaned, dependencies... because obviously they are used throughout many projects
