    however, still unable to replicate back button problem
  • p
    it might have been an unrelated issue e.g. some alpine JS broke something

    login/signup do hx-disable & force full browser reload in any case

    This may be a stupid question but can HTMX be used in a PWA?
  • g
    Great idea. I haven’t tried it, but there’s nothing stopping it in theory. You’d just be caching html instead of JSON files.

    the entire internet is built on a fucking lie and i'm so tired of it
  • g
    every decision is the result of the stupidest architectural tautology in history. i need a rest api because i need an SPA because I have a rest API which I need for my SPA which i use because i have a REST api which i need to serve my SPA.

    someone's going to bring up GraphQL in a minute just wait
  • g
    Maybe not “lies” but a series of short term decisions. Remember the early days, when SPAs seemed like magic.
  • g
    Most people are followers, and the herd just followed the trends to a dark place, without questioning.
  • g
    This. I watched this happen at an old job.

    Also... yardda yardda yardda GraphQL
  • g
    Here’s the big issue for me.. I’m sure every technology has a place somewhere. As just one example, Facebook has a reason to build GraphQL. It solved a specific need that they had to fill.
  • g
    i really like graphql.
  • g
    i think it's strictly an upgrade to REST
  • g
    i just think it should also be unnecessary.
  • g
    But just because Facebook (or Google) needs it, that doesn’t mean YOU need it. Chances are, Google has different problems than you do, and it’s the height of arrogance to pretend otherwise.
  • g
    let's go back in time and invent graphql before json

    if your ambition is to work at FAANG, you need to learn the FAANG tools.
  • p
    Whether those tools make sense for your organization or project is another matter
  • g
    if your ambition is to work at faang, you should make better life choices.

    it is shocking to me how many really terrible software engineers there are.
  • p
    Maybe, but the perverse incentives in the industry are part of the problem
  • g
    Yes to all these sentiments.
  • g
    And hey, sometimes those tools DO apply. I’m not Google, but I LOVE the Go programming language. I have wildly different needs than Google does, but this particular tool fill both sets of needs beautifully.
  • g
    Of course there will be overlaps. By @plain-kangaroo-26043 nailed it. The incentives in our industry (all industries?) are to blindly follow the biggest companies without any self reflection ie “nobody ever got fired for picking IBM”
