Let’s go for my web review for the week 2025-43.

If it fails for everyone then it’s not a bad choice on your part, right?

It was around two years ago, but maybe a good idea to revisit it with the recent AWS outage?

An harsh look at Omarchy. I really don’t get the hype around this project… turns out it’s even more badly designed and dangerous than I expected. It’s concerning that some beginners are lured to it. Clearly the fault of clueless influencers feeding the hype machine.

Interesting historical look at how and why modal editing appeared.

Git pre-commit hooks indeed bring nice benefits. Like everything else they’re not a panacea though.

Bunch of random script ideas. Some I don’t see the point of for me, some are neat and seem useful.

Tags: tech, imap, syncing, tools
Looks like a nice tool for syncing mailboxes locally.

Looks like an interesting alternative to pulling a full blown ETL for pushing data to ElasticSearch.

This is a very valid question. The most likely answer is somewhat cruel though.

Tags: tech, c++, generics
A long paper which explains what can be expressed with concepts in C++.

Indeed it feels like the Rust community has a cultural problem around abstractions. In a way it feels similar to the one Java developed years ago. This can bring lots of complexity and obfuscation you don’t want in your project.

It’s just impressive what we can achieve with instanced rendering. Even the mobile web browsers support it nowadays.

Looks like the trend is now clear. The reasons for picking a web framework are lessening. It’s more and more viable to use the web platform directly.

Some food for thought about the use of bounded contexts in Domain Driven Design.

Tags: tech, technical-debt, knowledge
If you’re not recklessly accumulating technical debt, this is an interesting way to frame the conversation around it.

I like the approach. Indeed what matters is to have visibility, don’t weaponize measurement otherwise the trust will falter.

Not a large corpus and some are more idioms than just words. Still it’s a nice little experiment with interesting entries.
Bye for now!
