I know tailwind is the star these days, but as a back-end dev, nothing comes close to bootstrap in terms of productivity and aesthetics. I've used tailwind and I like it - I've even paid for tailwind UI - but for crud apps that don't require a lot of custom styling, bootstrap is still my default.
Anyone else still using and enjoying bootstrap for new projects?
Yeah Bootstrap is great for having component classes for most things normal webapps need, and having enough utility classes for the more custom things. Love that you can use it in apps that are a mix of technologies as well, and good component support in React, Svelte, HTML, etc.
Tailwind is neat but the lack of component class names means you have to roll your own or embed very specific style classes like shadows, borders, etc in to every component.
Yeah I intentionally chose it as the foundation for UI for a project we started in 2021. The components are simple and lightweight there's an abundance of great themes.
Pleasantly surprised to see this on HN. In the minefield of the spiritual marketplace, where you can never be sure which teachers are authentic and which aren't, Michael James is worth a look. Sometimes a little dry and repetitive, but steadfast in his message and his adoration for his teacher.
I think it is more like testing your bounds or figuratively pulling the rope to see if it breaks. Both are innate human (and animal) behavior and in that both a blessing and a curse.
When I'm dropping off my kids and other kids run in my way I usually just stop to chat or play with them, but I'm doing this when walking or on a bicycle.
I guess if I wore a 2-ton suit of power armor I'd just be pissed off instead :)
The main problem here is that the 2-ton suit of power armor doesn't really care about what's behind it when it slams the brakes for a pedestrian, you would probably be pretty upset if you were biking behind me when this happens.
I think it's a great thing that the car prioritizes pedestrian safety, but it's very unfortunate that people would abuse this.
> Ruby is the very least favorite of all the programming languages I've had to use regularly over my career.

How do you define regular? I use both Ruby and JS almost daily, and have previously used Java and python for several years. I find ruby a joy to use and have no issues with 'familiarity'
If I used Ruby daily, I'd probably be used to it. Right now it's something I have to touch 2-3 times a week to implement specific features in a fairly large Rails codebase, and it always feels jarring to make the switch from the familiar JS/C++/Obj-C spheres of syntactic overlap.
This site seems to me an imitation of sitebuilderreport which was featured on indiehackers recently [1]. The design and copywriting are similar. OP, was your site inspired by sitebuilderreport or are you connected with that site?
catchy name, and well done on getting .com, but if you search for "specret" in google, it autocorrects to "spectre" and shows results for the Bond movie.
I find it interesting that the comments in this thread still largely support Brian Hamacheck even though the response from Who's Here - if accurate - demonstrates that his original blog post is little more than a one sided publicity piece designed to gain sympathy for him and. to villify.
