Cultivating curiosity for software developers

Main

if i'm coming from nextjs, what is the closest vite-based monorepo setup that lets me do frontend + backend api development? everyone keeps shilling vite to nextjs users but i've never found a good answer for this

You can just make a new stack ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Introducing bhvr 🦫

Bun + Hono + Vite + React

Fully typesafe monorepo starter 

check it out with bun create bhvr

In addition, they should make Xcode not suck overall. Xcode’s best feature is previews. Everything else is kind of a nightmare.

This is why I ended up building my own SSG. I have simple needs. For anything more complex, I can hand roll a new page and do whatever I want with it. Really, I just need a pipeline to generate the blog posts as pages.

Sometimes I code with AI, fall into a bug loop, and start pulling my hair out.
Next day, I try a different prompt — it works.
Brain: “If I’d written it myself, it’d be done!”
Heart: “Relax… you’re mentoring a junior dev with 8GB RAM and infinite hope.” 😅💾

On May 7th, ERC-7702 will go live on Ethereum and change everything:

◆ No more gas fees
◆ Better onboarding + security
◆ One consistent address across all chains

Here's why this is the biggest UX breakthrough since ERC-4337 🧵

I've been using Warp for a long time now, and I don't think I can go back. I don't pay for their AI service, and I generally don't use their AI tools, but the auto-complete functionality blows everything I've used before out of the water.

My eye twitches when you guys don’t match the splash hex color to the background color of your splash image in your mini app 😩

yesterday I created an mvp mini app for @trendcoins to enter base builder quest 4

trendcoins.replit.app 

trendcoins takes trending google searches and automatically
✅ coins them
✅ casts them
✅ puts them into a dedicated miniapp where you can check out the actual news and trending search behind the coin 

trendcoins itself is a somewhat satirical an art project — i don't think it will be the source of the next 1000x memecoin — but i think automated content pipelines like this are very useful to creators

take one thing — a trending google search, a podcast episode, a video, a blog post — and instantly create supporting materials for it like social posts and coins 

i want to keep exploring in this direction and want to encourage others too as well, so the entire trendcoins repl has been made public

feel free to ask me any questions at all about it if you want to make your own miniapp and autocoiner 🫶

possibly the most locked in person at farcon @dylsteck.eth

Periodic reminder that PWAs are a thing and they work pretty darn well.

Started off building the mini app with basic vite+react and a go backend

Moved to bun and hono because the ts sdks would be helpful on the backend

Now considering if I should've just gone with nextjs tbh but I rly dont want to lol

I do like how easy it is with cursor for relatively small bootstraped codebases to just say "take the go backend and recreate it as a bun and hono project instead"

It did a pretty good job

This issue is not limited to MCP servers, it’s just exacerbated by the standardization, making it critical that developers secure even their local test MCP servers.
