    but i have the technical ability to make it and that's it, that's where my skillset ends
  • g
    But. Something you love outside of tech, like small businesses, cycling, board games, ice cream.
  • m
    I feel you my man, I have gone through a lot of that since starting intercooler
  • m
    I eventually got over it
  • m
    not quite sure how tbh
  • m
    mostly just laughing at how silly a lot of the industry is
  • g
    Then make it better for people to run their own ice cream shop using your software (built with htmx)

    i just interviewed with a CTO and basically he said (paraphrasing) that inertia (the current tools they use) dictate their future tools.

    it's so sad. it's so sad to see people waste their energy and time of not only themselves but everyone around themselves, unapologetically.

    imo if you work in a big corp then you can just cruise an get good pay while putting your energy into hobby projects.
  • s
    and if you work in a small company then you can start to own the choice of tools soon enough.
  • s
    I work in a medium sized multinational company for a few years now, but its not a software company so in the start i just used the tools they did, but over time my influence has grown and I now mostly decide what I use.

    a workplace is like any relationship, you have to build trust over time.

    Built a Trello clone with htmx Demo: https://htmx-trello.herokuapp.com/ Code: https://github.com/rajasegar/htmx-trello Learned so much by doing this exercise, especially the 
    send
    custom events command is a life saver.

    I work for the government of my country and I have the same impression: they are stuck and won't adopt or encurage any new technology or approach.
  • m
    Amazing!
  • m
    Unbelievable! You need to do a blog post on your experiences. At this point you know more about practical htmx development than I do!
  • s
    Thanks, Yes I do have idea about writing posts will do whenever I find time 👍
  • m
    very cool combo of sortable.js, htmx and hyperscript: https://github.com/rajasegar/htmx-trello/blob/main/views/index.pug
  • m
    this is exactly the goal: htmx for client/server communication, and events plus some hyperscript where needed to glue it all together
  • m
    all inline, visible and coherent
  • m
    in the next release, both htmx and hyperscript are going to have 
    disable
    functionality for disabling them within parts of the DOM, to address security concerns around user-generated content: https://dev.htmx.org/docs/#security
  • b
    Nice feature! Any reason you are moving away from the 
    hx-
    pattern for defining areas that this should apply to?
  • m
    I started in hyperscript w/ 
    disable-scripting
    and just followed that pattern w/ htmx. I'm open to changing it for the final release.
