hobbyists are like this. in it to learn.

The year is 2023. Ben Awad accidentally stumbles into learning SvelteKit 1.0 after watching a Rich Harris video, being immediately captivated by his hair and accent. Ben feels dirty about this, not wanting to offend his lover, React. React whispers gently into Ben’s ear, “It’s okay, Ben. I’ve gained a lot of boilerplate in all my years. I just want you to be happy.” “You know I’ve never cared about that,” trembled Ben. GraphQL walks through the door, forlorn, overhearing the conversation. “While we’re talking about bloat, I saw TRPC at the gym yesterday, and he certainly has less than 8% body fat. I don’t know how he does it.” React cries. Ben cries. GraphQL cries. Zuckerberg cries. It’s been an eventful April for sure.

This is cool. I like this type of videos. It really makes me consciously think about what to spend time on and learning with deliberation. Thanks Ben!

everyday I see people super hyped about 5674 new things and I feel so behind whenever I hear about something I didn't even know existed. this is relieving tbh. I feel like I'm in a good path with the stack I'm in which is pretty much the same as Ben's : )

The highlight of my year was definitely Remix. It's so good! I also learned a ton about backends (always using typescript) and the web platform :)

Learning rust and some video codecs and stuff. I started an ambitious project of making a video editor. I have no prior knowledge in this field, I mostly do web dev and some Flutter for work. However I hope this will be a learning experience, and I already learnt a lot of stuff after just one day of working on this.

Agreed, Ethereum is 7, going on 8 years old and its growth is _waaaay less_ than web2 sites like Facebook and Instagram were over the same time range. Facebook and Instagram each reached 1 billion users over the space of 7 years, TikTok reached 1 billion monthly active users over the space of only 5 years. This comment may or may not age well, but I feel so far 'web3' has been a buzzwordy band-wagon people have jumped on because KZreadrs like 'Dapp University' make out that you can get an easy 6-figure salary if you spend 2 months learning Solidity or whatever. From what I've seen, the job market for web3 really isn't that large, and the companies on these 'web3 career' sites are either new (1, 2 year old) startups with flashy landing pages or big companies (like Apple, MSFT, etc.) that are only investing a little money into experimenting with it.

Planning to learn more in-depth about the Unix kernel infrastructure and possibly writing kernel drivers for embedded projects! A whole different world than web dev ;)

im learning microcontroller this year. wanted to step out of software area a little bit

This video makes me feel better, I only learned fee of the things I set out to learn in 2022 however I did learn alot other technologies

Diving deeper into mobile development, learning more about React Native and Swift to understand the differences more for myself. And definetely pursuing more Game Dev.

In 2022 I learned Neovim and setup my own set of configs. Finally used Svelte again to build a wordle type clone game. Picked up TypeScript to use properly, it has grown on me. Quite enjoyable. Did not do as much Golang as I had hoped, kind of fizzled out when I realised I wouldn't be able to get a Golang job. This year I hope to do more Golang, finally learn K8 and Terraform instead of spamming Serverless framework. Fuck around a bit with SurrealDB and Pocketbase. This is all I can think of so far, thanks for the prompt Ben.

For animations I was looking at Lottie, it lets you make animations in after effects and convert them to web.

This year I’m switching to svelte/sveltekit + tailwind from react/next + mui. I’ve found that as a solo developer there is so much more boilerplate involved with react, and it’s messy passing state around larger applications. Svelte is faster and cleaner to prototype with for me and I enjoy working with it much more. Recently I got interested in circuitry and embedded hardware so I’d like to continue learning about that and work on a playground/sim as a side project. I picked up rust recently to work on solana but the web3 ecosystem is a not so fun environment to work in, especially now that it’s crashed. I would like to find a context to work with and practice rust, maybe WASM, bevy, tauri or microservices. It’s a really enjoyable language to work with. I would really like to learn more about devops and cloud infrastructure. Something about automating workflows is fascinating to me. I would also like to start developing a production-grade SAAS and it would be great to automate deployments and tear downs for clients. I would like to learn more about graphics, especially VFX and procedural animation and generation. rust + wasm + webgl/webgpu could be my go-to for graphics-based projects that require low-overhead. And finally of course AI. I have pretty much neglected learning about how AI functions at a low level so I think I’d start there, at least to be familiar with what’s under the hood. Although I think I’d be much more interested in it’s applications since developing AI is so tedious. And that’s pretty much everything, it’s a long list but I have pretty bad ADHD so I’ll probably learn a little bit of everything 😅

Could you please explain how "it’s messy passing state around larger applications" relates to React. React is library for building UI, and it's not opinionated on state management.

@hojdog

Жыл бұрын

The fact that it’s not opinionated on state management is exactly why it’s messy. In both vuejs and svelte they both have easy to use state management solutions built by the team that everyone uses. It’s the same problem in Flutter. Flutter is not opinionated on state management and so the various solutions are a bit messy and badly documented.

"I would like to find a context to work with and practice rust, maybe WASM, bevy, tauri or microservices. It’s a really enjoyable language to work with." This is me. I used to decide what project to start based on the appeal of the idea. Now I decide based on how easy and interesting it would be to write in Rust.

what's your opinion on using the managed vs bare workflows from expo (and vanilla react-native) in this year?

I'd be interested in seeing what your CI/CD flow is and what benefits VSCode with VIM extension has over VIM. I know there are probably a lot but I've tried to switch over and it all seems like extra stuff that I don't need. Maybe I just haven't taken the time to configure things optimally.

Completely fell off the web3 / blockchain hype as well and have no interest in touching it in 2023. I’m also loving just learning Typescript, NextJS 13, and tailwind in more and more detail 😊 I also stumbled into tRPC this year through the t3 stack and am loving it so far. Was also introduced to Astro for static sites and am loving the simplicity of it - plan to redo my personal site with it this coming year. Other than that, the obligatory AI and also framer motion for a more personalized UI on my current projects. I’ve also been getting into hardware / electronics the past few weeks. Bought myself an Arduino and have been programming it with C++ and PlatformIO on VS Code. It’s making me feel like a kid tinkering around with toys again 😂

You’ll probably love SvelteKit, the dev experience is very good. Many of the issues I faced with it were due to Vite and some incompatibilities with WASM (compiled to from Rust). Some libraries we’re used to from the React universe are still behind and a few don’t have real alternatives, but we’re getting there. It’s been my go-to for hobby projects and I plan on using it in the corporate environment, too!

Hey Ben, haven't tried out React Native but from your experience what are the improvements with React Native since you lasted worked on a project with it? I am undecided about React Native or if I should go the Flutter route despite the fact I am familiar with JavaScript and a little bit of React with the useState and useEffect.. Love to hear your recommendations.

2023: - Algebra & Linear Algebra (dropped out of school early, so want to catch up on this to see if AI makes more sense) - Play around with ChatGPT / Stable diffusion (read the papers and research until it makes sense) - Pytorch (programming 2.0 basically, I wanna solve some issues solely through ML, think binary classification and such) - Use git proficiently (I've been putting this off for way too long) - Create a more lightweight and scalable alternative to Appium for Android if I continue to work in process automation for Android professionally. - Set up an actual decent emu platform for automation instead of using BlueStacks / ldplayer / gphone images through AVD. Lots of side projects planned also, mainly around reverse engineering but it's hard to set any real goals for them.

What's your favorite backend for React Native apps?

Would love it if you could do some more adhoc tutorials on the latest state of your stack. Have built my go-to boiler plate off your old work but just wondering if we need to "freshen" things up a bit (new libraries, new exploits, etc). Would be very interested in your bespoke database API. I love Prisma for the migrations, but there is a lot about it that gets in my way. And yes, I've noticed it doesn't write the best SQL.

To learn - * TRPC (still use REST but this might be fun for some personal stuff) * GitHub Actions and Jenkins * Tanstack Query * Go (for work purposes but also for future REST API stuff) * Monorepos (specifically Turborepo) * PNPM

So far I never truly needed all of it and would deploy to mostly regular VMs on these cloud providers, but not really into specialized services and edge/serverless stuff Other stuff: - Backend -- just get more into backend code in general. Do some stuff with Prisma and whatever database. Build a full app for something, backend and frontend - Rust -- try to learn something a bit more lower level compared to JS/TS. Rust seems to be really interesting for many use cases - React Native -- I've done it looong time ago, would like to actually create something useful with it - Svelte -- I'm curious about Svelte for a long time now, just didn't really force myself to try to learn it. I do like React (most of the time), but I just want to see how others do it and form my own opinion I know I probably won't go through most of these in 2023, but this is a rough overview of my interests.
