jvidalv··on Zig → Rust porting guide
Bun can't be used for anything serious, only as a "script kiddie" to run small scripts.

Trying to run it as a replacement for node in persistent backend/api scenarios is just plain broken.

jvidalv··on OpenAI releases GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro in the API
In the only one that feels that OpenAI has bots/commenters on payroll on all this kind of news downplaying Claude and stating how much better Codex is?

There is too much and there are too many, and some of their takes don’t fly if you use Claude daily.

jvidalv··on TanStack Start Now Support React Server Components
Same principle applies, hosting in Railway has slightly worse UX, but with LLM's you don't need to write a single docker line anymore, so deploying on railway is way way less cumbersome than before, and you gain more control and less costs.
jvidalv··on TanStack Start Now Support React Server Components
This is something I noticed, originally I thought "AI" was the perfect tool for Vercel and Nextjs (current standard = future standard), but then I realized is the total opposite, their moat/stick is gone now, and Rouch that is smart I think knows this.

I switched a middle sized app to Tanstack Router + Vite while I was walking my dogs. Then 30 minuts-1 hour QA and it was done. This should have never happened before AI.

(I did switch because I was tired of the bloated network tab with 100 unnecesary RSC calls, the 5 seconds lag when clicking on an internal link, the 10 seconds "hot reload" after a change... I'm on a M4 MAX with 64GB of ram....)

jvidalv··on TanStack Start Now Support React Server Components
I have switched from the bloated mess of Nextjs to Vite+TSS and never looked back.
jvidalv··on I wanted to build vertical SaaS for pest control, so I took a technician job
If you click on "download button" which should open the link to the App Store you will notice that is a broken link. This is why is ai slop.

Spinning a web like that today is 30 minutes of Claude Code prompting.

But like it or not, the gatekeeping of Apple and Google means that pushing an app to their stores is days work and wait time.

So yeah, reeks of ai slop.

jvidalv··on Vite 8.0 Is Out
Exactly, this why if I use next.js I always hijack the api routes and use Elysia, it comes with something called eden that makes the typing e2e fantastic, can't recommend it enough.

As a side note, I'm slowly moving out of Next.js, as you said, is bloated, full of stuff that is just noise and that benefits them (more network requests more money) for little user benefit.

Right now for me the gold standard is Vite + Tanstack Router. (And Elysia for api/server, but thats unrelated).

jvidalv··on Agentic Engineering Patterns
I work as a consultant so I navigate different codebases, old to new, typescript to javascript, massive to small, frontend only to full stack.

Claude Code experience is massively different depending on the codebase.

Good E2E strongly typed codebase? Can one shot any feature, some small QA, some polishing and it's usually good to ship.

Plain javascript? Object oriented? Injection? Overall magic? Claude can work there but is not a pleasant experience and I wouldn't say it accelerates you that much.

jvidalv··on Anthropic Cowork feature creates 10GB VM bundle on macOS without warning
Suprisingly Claude is amazing at cleaning up your macbook. Tried, works like a charm.
jvidalv··on The path to ubiquitous AI (17k tokens/sec)
Is super fast but also super inaccurate, I would say not even gpt-3 levels.
jvidalv··on Claude Sonnet 4.6
What is the definition for intelligence?
jvidalv··on Game sound effects for Claude Code
Hello! I’ve created an easy to install sound packs that are played on certain Claude actions.

Sometimes I was missing requests from Claude, and this is a fun way to put myself back in action.

Counter Strike, Half life, Old School RuneScape, Stardew Valley… Are some of the ones available.

jvidalv··on Launch HN: Modelence (YC S25) – App Builder with TypeScript / MongoDB Framework
Totally agree, schema issues are easily solved with solutions like drizzle or prisma.

I would never go full mongo considering how easy is now a days to have TypeScript first postgres.

jvidalv··on Claude outage
Prepare the prompts for the features.
jvidalv··on I've been loving Claude Code on the web
When I read the first or second comment ranked in this news (stavros, mrasong) I can't avoid thinking that they are paid comments by OpenAI.
jvidalv··on How I use my terminal
Agree, tho, on their defense, they look super cool and hackerish.

Now, velocity and confort, they don't beat any top IDE.

jvidalv··on Show HN: Hyvector – A fast and modern SVG editor
Cool! Can you add support for an MCP API so we can use it within claude?
jvidalv··on Can we still recover the right to be left alone?
Same in Spanish or Catalan.

We say “dejame en paz”.

And is not a young thing, is how it is said around here.

jvidalv··on Stoop Coffee: A simple idea transformed my neighborhood
I’m also from a small town in Spain, ~600 people.

And while it’s not as popular as before it’s still going strong in summer.

I’m Catalan so we call it “la fresca”, translates to “to the fresh air”.

In my street, ~5-10 people, my mother and some neighbours still do it.

The way towns are build in spain facilitate that, single houses but no garden. We live door by door.

So if you want to be outside you are by definition accesible.

Before TV people used to also be a lot in the balcony just chilling and chatting with people passing by.

This is my street in google mapa in case someone is interested:

jvidalv··on The Internet Slum: is abandoning the Internet the next big thing? (2004)
The biggest forum in the world is european.

forocoches(dot)com

And I have more:

mediavida(dot)com ( it means half-life :) )

And then I have random ones:

redcafe(dot)net foro.acb(dot)com

I read them, and post on them daily, forums are alive and kicking it on europe :)

jvidalv··on Johnny.Decimal – A system to organise your life
A few weeks ago, during a one-on-one with my manager, I had an interesting realization about this topic.

I understood that my chaotic nature isn’t due to a lack of organization—it’s because I thrive in chaos. I can function well without strict structure because I don’t need it to stay effective.

My manager, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. She needs everything documented and noted, not because she’s inherently more organized, but because the absence of structure creates anxiety and discomfort for her.

She actually complimented me on my ability to navigate uncertainty, to adapt without needing full control, and still feel capable and at ease.

It felt like an epiphany, shifting the way I perceive this entire topic.

Hopefully one they do a Pro Mini, fingers crossed.
jvidalv··on Teen on Musk's DOGE team graduated from 'The Com'
> Musk’s DOGE team has gained access to a truly staggering amount of personal and sensitive data on American citizens, moving quickly to seize control over databases at the U.S. Treasury, the Office of Personnel Management, the Department of Education, and the Department of Health and Human Resources, among others.

As an European, how is this not considered a coup d'etat? From my mindset, right or wrong, that is absolutely unthinkable to happen within a normal functional European country.

jvidalv··on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
I never thought about that, but honestly that sounds super cool, imagine our grand grand children 300 hundred years from now, if somehow they have access to our cloud images they can basically check out how their ancestor fully lived their lives, a true door to the past.

Sounds super cool for them, of course, we have been born to early for this, so from our perspective we still shouldn't give a dam. As probably we won't be ghost behind checking how they enjoy that portal to the past.

jvidalv··on FedEx launches new e-commerce platform
As an european (Spanish) is very suprising to read than in the US it takes up to 2-4 days to deliver for Amazon.

Here, even in a remote village, normally it's 1 day, and if you live in the big cities you can even have the "same day" delivery.

Also a side note, but I have been reading a lot of people complaining about fake stuff on Amazon, and I feel that it's also a problem that we don't experience here, at least, not at that level to be noticeable.

Im talking about Amazon Spain of course.

jvidalv··on iPhone that fell from hole in Alaska 737 MAX flight is found, still open to Mail
Interestingly, but last month while climbing (actually doing ferratas, if you don't know what it is check it out, very fun and friendly) in a mountain the phone fell of my pocket, easily 35 meters free fall onto the forest below.

I recovered it (by using find my, thanks Apple) and it was intact.

Two days later it fell out of my pocket while sitting in my tourism european car (short) into the concrete of the road and the glass shattered.

So yeah, the elevation doesn't seem to matter as much as the terrain it hits and the angle.

jvidalv··on Autonomous excavator constructs a six-metre-high dry-stone wall
Just wanted to share that in my country (Spain) and more concretely in my area (rural part of Catalonia) we have a building technique called “Pedra Seca” literal translation is “Dry Stone”. It basically involves building stuff with just rocks, nothing more. It’s still in use mostly in agricultural fields.

Here are a few examples:

jvidalv··on Why yewtu.be was down: Data loss after being shut down by Oracle Cloud
Holy, I just pay HBO and Apple Music.

Is this really the middle class U.S family reality?

jvidalv··on First 'tooth regrowth' medicine moves toward clinical trials in Japan
Can you back this data up with any source?

Afaik here in Spain is rather common to have your wisdom teeth pullet out (I have), and it's the first time I hear this theory.
