Many times in my career I've wondered if I should ever have accepted that first promotion to management. Back in ye olde times, I was a #systemsadministrator and a #programmer. Occasionally I am nostalgic for the deep feeling of flow that accompanies working on a problem or #coding.

Today is not one of those days.

For the past couple of days I've been playing with #replit, an application that builds working web apps from your natural language description of features and functions.

Its performance is nothing less than stunning. It's not that it turns out better code than a human would, but rather that it turns out solid, working code faster than previously imaginable.

Beyond that, it is incredibly intuitive about what it is I'm trying to do. The implementation suggests future enhancements, all of which (so far, at least) have been on point.

Continued thread

It's quite hard these days to just be "someone that can program" but not a "full time programer" as apparently you're always lacking a lot of knowledge for knowing where you'd even start to tamper with something.

In many cases even if you already by coincidence found the function you want to modify.

Do others that aren't full time programmers and wanting to fix/contribute to #opensource projects "on the side" (or for specific issues) feel the same? Or is this just me?

@nixCraft the tea app thing? Vibe coding is garbage. AI doesn't take pride in its work. Toil away at improving it and being the best it can be. Only a real #programmer can do that. On a real programmer has passion. #ai will never have that.

React-like functional webcomponents, but with vanilla HTML, JS and CSS

Introducing Dim – a new #Framework that brings #ReactJS-like functional #JSX-syntax with #VanillaJS. Check it out here:
🔗 Project: github.com/positive-intentions
🔗 Website: dim.positive-intentions.com

My journey with #WebComponents started with Lit, and while I appreciated its native browser support (less #Tooling!), coming from #ReactJS, the class components felt like a step backward. The #FunctionalProgramming approach in React significantly improved my #DeveloperExperience and debugging flow.

So, I set out to build a thin, functional wrapper around #Lit, and Dim is the result! It's a #ProofOfConcept right now, with "main" #Hooks similar to React, plus some custom ones like useStore for #EncryptionAtRest. (Note: #StateManagement for encryption-at-rest is still unstable and currently uses a hardcoded password while I explore #Passwordless options like #WebAuthn/#Passkeys).

You can dive deeper into the #Documentation and see how it works here:
📚 Dim Docs: positive-intentions.com/docs/c

This #OpenSource project is still in its early stages and very #Unstable, so expect #BreakingChanges. I've already received valuable #Feedback on some functions regarding #Security, and I'm actively investigating those. I'm genuinely open to all feedback as I continue to develop it!
