Drove today for the first time in about a month. Driving safely in Chicago takes a ton of energy, mostly because the roads aren’t designed to make it easy.
Also I have no clue how drivers think they have the same vision as a bike, there are SO many blind spots in this car.
In order to safely stop at a stop sign and make sure a cyclist isn’t coming, I have to basically swivel forward and back a ton to check in between the bars on the windows.
There’s literally no way drivers can roll through a stop sign safety here.

Remix has seen some stagnation lately and hasn't been introducing features as quickly as related frameworks (SvelteKit and SolidStart, for example). I think this is for two main reasons:
1. Remix is built on esbuild. 2. Remix is a startup.
Thread:
Remix is built on top of esbuild. Normally this is great, because esbuild is very fast.
But bundlers like Vite exist. Vite builds on top of esbuild and adds a whole suite of very nice features that native esbuild does not have.

Apple Maps cycling directions are so interesting. It consistently gives completely different directions than any other app I’ve tried, and generally they’re much higher quality.
Example: Ride With GPS vs. google Maps vs. Apple Maps
Also Apple Maps’ turn-by-turn directions are just as superb with cycling as they are with driving. Didn’t have to look at my phone once when I used them yesterday.

Solid and React are two completely different paradigms that require two completely different mindsets. JSX is not that hard to learn and knowing it is not the thing that React shops care about when hiring.
The knowledge that you gain from Solid is just as transferrable as the knowledge you get from Svelte / Vue. Syntax is not the hard part of the framework!
The hard parts are learning the APIs, learning what's idiomatic, and learning the library ecosystem.
