We need more DHH in this world. The world would be a better place!

His philosophy on web and computing are so aligned with mine. So glad someone else sees the cloud as a black hole like I do.

I literally watch DHH interviews to learn new words and English idioms. He never fails to deliver.

This was absolutely wonderful. David is like the kind of person that you say, hey tell us another story and you sit down and listen and time just flies by and you can't wait for the next time. Damn this was just so good!

Amazing guy! I've learned so much from the Rails framework, including Active Record, MVC, migrations, and numerous principles and design patterns. truly opened my mind to look at coding in a different way. Thank you for this interview. His book, 'Getting Things Done,', 37signals

Completely agree with DHH. Typescript is a total slog to write. I actually find JS incredibly expressive and powerful. I don't enjoy writing ceremony code.

@Kpil3 2 ай бұрын

I've started really disliking it too. Even for client code. And I don't think it helps that much. Something like Rust - yeah I get it and I can appreciate it. But I think a lot of people just use Typescript so something happens when they press dot in their IDE's...

No surprise at all from a React dev. It started out well with Laravel, then right of the bat, its "React this..", "React that..". To everyone here here, I highly recommend to watch this interview with DHH instead. Really interesting on what he has to say especially on the future of web development. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKuKgcV-mbO5lKM.html

I want DHH to switch to VSCodium and make fun of vim users (mostly Primeagen) for its poor usability. That'd be fun contents to watch (from both ends)

What is this dude even talking about?😂 I know he is respected and so on but why is he constantly repeating that for some reason javascript code will stop running in a few years, javascript is stable and will not break so can somebody explain this to him? Also all the hate about bundlers and package managers and packages like is-odd which is more like a meme and nobody will really use it once out of the learning phase, the numbers on these packages will always be high because of nonsense tutorials. Also a nobundler world is just wishful thinking, what he gets extremely wrong here is thinking bundlers are only here to transpile js but this is wrong, like the name says it does trough a plugin system many things outside javascript as well, it does things like moving files around, rewriting them do stuff with other file formats before compiling my javascript, he is not only out of touch he is wrong 1000%.

Remind me how one troll took down most of other packages in npm. And and constant crypto and malware in js.

He's talking about how all of the stop gaps to get these things working well in the past, aren't 100% necessary any more, import-maps and updates to HTTP being a big reason for this. With these changes no-build/no bundle is 100% viable way to build a fully featured Web app. Just like most things in programming, there are trade offs to both build and no-build, you just have to weigh up what you think works best for you.
