I assume you mean oss maintainers expressing personal opinions.

1️⃣ most things that matter are social and/or political
2️⃣ costly opinions > cheap ones
3️⃣ genuineness > 'neutrality'

I hope I am willing to listen β€” and even change my mind, esp. if someone I trust takes a stand

How do you feel about political and/or social topics in open source ? Should we try and ensure we stay "neutral" or should we take stances and risk alienating a part of the community ?

imagine you're writing a comment above the function describing what it does ...

now try condensing that into a single descriptive phrase, dropping any unneeded words

... then try to remove ambiguity. verbs are important here (e.g. 'generate' is more descriptive than 'get').

how do I get better at naming functions?

my current phone is my first iphone β€” owing to lots of peer pressure from pooya πŸ˜†

I particularly like the integration with my macbook (copy/paste, wifi sharing, etc.)

there are things I prefer about android though, including much better + granular notifications settings

roe.dev/ama

apple or android ?

not yet. I'm a bit behind on this.

we're experimenting with migrating core modules first, then trying to fix any frictions and distilling that into a migration guide.

if you have time, try to migrate your own module and let me know what works well, or if you have any tips πŸ™

hi, is there already a nuxt 4 migration guide for nuxt module authors available somewhere?

I'd love to see more people using @nuxt!

(new people -> new ideas)

... but absolutely not at any cost.

🌢️ the first sign of a failing organism is when its own growth becomes its _first_ priority.

e.g. political parties, corporations, cells (= cancer) ... and ofc frameworks.

nope, I've never done game dev!

the closest I've come is a handful of games I've never released. so far I have clones of spelling bee, a crossword grid filler, skyjo, and codenames ...

I keep meaning to tidy them up and release something πŸ™ˆ

someday.

Did you ever do GameDev? Any favourite game engines? What are some fun game projects that you worked on, if any?

I think LLMs will absolutely change what kind of job you have in the future.

... and that would also be true of any groundbreaking tech change.

yet, as the saying goes, 'the more things change, the more they stay the same'. learning and adapting _is_ our job.

purpose > tech.

Do AI will take my frontend job in the future? Some of my bosses are already joking about it, that is is best then a junior...

I've never written rust. πŸ¦€

... nor go (which I'd very much like to try), nor a native phone app.

and I'm sure that only scratches the surface of things I don't know! I try to be okay with that.

plus, it means there's always more fun stuff to learn or explore.

coming up with ideas is a muscle - it gets better the more you use it.

don't treat ideas as scarce - scatter them wide! bounce them off others. share.

you can always start by building someone else's idea (a saas you use?) ... or fix pains/frictions you face in your life.

How do you find ideas to build? I find myself with an urge to build but without ideas

I love the fact that everyone seems to play a differentβ€” and essential β€” part.

we're often doing totally different things but it seems to work out 😊

I think a big part of that is trust, which I think is very well exemplified by @atinux and I hope is part of our 'dynamic'

Thanks for all you do for Nuxt.
You, Atinux, the wizard Pooya, and the rest of the team are a great match. πŸ’š

go to uni, enjoy it as a hobby + don't feel pressure to join the industry

1️⃣ make coding/entrepreneur friends
2️⃣ build sth cool
3️⃣ start a side project
4️⃣ go to alumni networking
4️⃣ do hackathons or OSS if you enjoy it

people + stories open doors

I'd say:

1️⃣ build something you want _for yourself_
2️⃣ learn in order to achieve your objective
3️⃣ get to 'reward points' as quickly as possible - achievable wins πŸ‘Œ
4️⃣ ship + iterate - don't be afraid to make mistakes

I am very glad that there are so many university students doing studies on open source projects

but I wish they wouldn't _all_ email me to ask me to fill out a survey for a chance to win a $5 voucher.

does anyone know the word in German for when a bike sails past you in an embarrassingly effortless fashion - and then you realise it's an ebike?

is it... ebikefreude?

thinking someone's real words are ai-generated is going to be the ultimate passive-aggressive move

"yeah, I didn't realise it was actually you. felt a bit soulless, what can I say?"

do I know anyone who sometimes:

1. plays the crossword
2. ... on paper
3. ... and doesn't have a pen

because I may have a niche web app for you very soon

i have never known stress like wordfeud.

it always starts well - love it, end up playing 4 in parallel

then the constant time pressure starts to operate, persecution of push notifications, the sub optimal plays, the forfeited games, etc

is anyone else experiencing issues with HMR on @firefox.com + @vite.dev?

I can't connect to the vite websocket server _at all_ in both @nuxt.com and @sli.dev ...

(if no one else is experiencing it, then it might be a me/config/system problem.)
