Bob Ross vibe coding was the AI slop I never knew I needed in my life

Hey @ClerkDev; we wanted to upgrade our subscription and got greeted by this... Not sure what to make of it.
Hey @necolas I just noticed that react-strict-dom is also being developed in Flow (as was react-native-web). Can you speak to why Typescript wasn't chosen given its popularity over Flow when starting this new project? I'm guessing it's just what you prefer, but was curious.

Guilty 🙋‍♂️ 😓
Merchants of complexity have convinced a shocking number of developers that they're too dumb to do their own authentication. Of all the things you could outsource, I think you could do no worse than your app's front door.
They are getting close to just four 9s for the year just off this alone...

This 100%
Clerk is down—proof that even ‘serverless’ auth still needs resilience. Time to chaos-test your signup/login flows, add fallback tokens, and embrace failure as part of your journey!
Gotta love their 60 second token expiration...
Now they have an update. Still shows all green in the status list though...
Looks like @ClerkDev is down and our users are locked out of our site. It's made worse by the status page saying everything is all good!!

Shout out to @MaximumPC back in the day. When I was in middle school and high school my Mom got me a subscription and I read every issue cover to cover for years. It had a major influence on getting me excited about building PCs and entering the tech world. 🙏
Why does it feel like most tech journalists today don't actually like technology? When I was young I'd read computer magazines and they were written by nerds like myself who were super curious and excited about new developments. What happened here?

So I cheer for @ladybirdbrowser, I cheer for Firefox to find its way again, I actually cheer for Safari too, but I also cheer for Chrome. The web has been getting a lot better w/ Import maps, nested CSS, so much. We owe this largely to Team Chrome. Don't kill that golden goose.

Eric Barone (@ConcernedApe): >$50M/yr One man spent 4.5 years solo-developing Stardew Valley + learning to do the music, art, coding, and design. (A few others helped with later updates.) It sold 1M copies in its first 2 months and over 41M to date.

Hey @mailinator 👋 I'd like to try out your software for some automated testing. How long does the verification process take? It's been a few days now 🫠 If it goes well I may end up getting the paid plan for a few teams needing something like this. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Every time I see this kind of crap I want to know why there is a length limit on something you should never be transmitting or storing. Hashes don't get longer just because the input was longer. If you don't believe me, ask a cryptographer.

Most people make the mistake of treating React Native like one platform, Android and iOS are just different deployment targets for them. Instead you should build for iOS and Android specifically, and have the benefit of sharing 90% of your code.
