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.

I think we're all well aware of 'regression to the mean' as a danger from llms.

... so nuxt + other frameworks need to be able to offer significant enough benefits that people _explicitly choose_ to use them.

that's always been the case though. 🀷

roe.dev/ama

Do you see a big future for Nuxt and smaller frameworks like SvelteKit next to the giants like Next, given AI could push more people to the status-quo React world?

discord is the best/easiest experience I've come across for immediate chat + help.

bear in mind that we're helping tech newbies as well as experienced folk, and I don't want to put any extra barriers in place.

I will absolutely test specific suggestions if you have them tho. πŸ™

roe.dev/ama

Hu, can you with your position maybe try to get people away from discord and try to move the community to a better and open place [maybe matrix]. The walled garden iznt healthy :/

yes, I absolutely ask for feedback from the rest of the team before asking someone to join

... but we're not actively looking to grow the core too much right now

instead, I would say a lot of the people who are doing incredible things for nuxt are on our 'ecosystem team'

roe.dev/ama

How people can be a nuxt core team ? Is there an internal vote ?

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?


Avatar for Daniel Roe

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?"

on the morning of a conference, I wake up early (4am?) and work through my slides in bed. writing them doesn't really finish until a few minutes before I go on stage.

my slides are my notes - so it also helps cement what I want to say into my mind

... but if I don't sleep well πŸ’€

roe.dev/ama

Hi buddy, what do you do internally before start a conference?

Avatar for Daniel Roe

if I'm working on a package `p1` that's depended on by another package, I do final checks by building with `pnpm pack` + add it as a resolution in that `package.json`:

{
"resolutions": {
"p1": "file:/Users/daniel/code/p1/pkg-0.0.1.tgz"
}
}

before that point, for minor changes I might just directly edit node_modules or create a patch (with `pnpm patch`)

roe.dev/ama

How do you work on "nested" packages without release? pnpm link? Manually editing them?

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
