I know that the economy is actively in freefall right now, but I am glad that after 4-6 months of chewing on the problem; I’ve written an 8.2K word guide on overhauling the view layer for a Rails app. It should go live by the end of the week, still getting reviews on the first draft.

A colorful illustration of a lab, with the text “Revamping an entire UI without freezing development” on a chalkboard in the center on the left: Buffy, a white dog, is looking at a bug under a microscope. A vest on Buffy reads “bug inspector.” To the right, a man frantically tries to explain a technical concept to a herding dog, Kira. There is a mishmash of technical ideas strewn about the cork board next to the man (who is holding a cigarette), most of which is hastily scribbled in.

🔗 AI crawler wars threaten to make the web more closed for everyone via MIT Technology Review #Webdev #Ai #Tech

We often take the internet for granted. It’s an ocean of information at our fingertips—and it simply works. But this system relies on swarms of “crawlers”—bots that roam the web, visit millions of websites every day, and report what they see. This is how Google powers its search engines,...

For people with their own websites and domains, what do you use to host the site? I'm currently using GitHub pages for a links page, but I'd like to expand the site with some other things (e.g. portfolio, potentially blogs) without being explicitly linked to a public repo.

I have a domain, but most website builders I see require paying to connect your own. Free would be ideal, but I understand if that's not the case.

Documentation complaints.

The Curse of Knowledge is real in documentation; even big and pricey ecosystems skip basic information.

Two examples I ran into this morning:

1. GitHub's CODEOWNERS documentation does not explicitly mention where to create the file.

docs.github.com/en/repositorie

2. NPM's docs do not explain allowed characters in package names.

docs.npmjs.com/package-name-gu

GitHub DocsAbout code owners - GitHub DocsYou can use a CODEOWNERS file to define individuals or teams that are responsible for code in a repository.
