Nice piece on "How to write error messages that actually help users rather than frustrate them":
PiccalilliHow to write error messages that actually help users rather than frustrate themOne of the most consistently neglected parts of today’s user experiences is our handling of errors. We’re so busy designing the happy paths through our products that we often forget to give the same care and attention to the times when things will go wrong
I'm not sure if there's a place for auto admin panels (active_admin in Ruby or kaffy in Elixir or the OG Django Admin) anymore given that LLMs can *easily* generate kick-ass and fully dedicated admin panels in minutes 
I've built two pretty advanced admin panels for my Phoenix apps (so, still kinda niche tech stack) with little to no effort. Apart from regular CRUD stuff, I've got advanced features like syncing data with Stripe, or lately I built a mailing list sync with MailerLite in like 2 hours.
Given this experience I really don't see why I would need a solution like Kaffy (I used it initially in @justcrosspost and then rebuilt the whole admin panel in literally less than an hour with much better end result).
What are your thoughts on this topic? 
or 
?
The combination of CodeMirror being the only game in town and me being too much of a simpleton to really use it is quite unfortunate.
When you have redundant web services with background scheduled tasks, how do you make sure the scheduled tasks only run on one host?
We have the hosts coordinate via a database with frequent check-ins, where one host will promoted to the "main" host to to the jobs if there is not currently or the main host is dead.

Yesterday I had to put together a quick demo website, and I got a little stuck trying to think of what framework to use. Normally I'd go for Next.js, but it seemed overkill, and also requires extra work to work well with web components, which I was going to use.
I thought about eleventy, but got hung up on what language to use, and how to set up the templates.
So I said screw it and just didn't use a framework. It was so freeing. I got the work done super fast.
