Why don't you do that? Instead of doing that you unfairly critisize the guy that gave away his time and effort on something which no-one is forcing you to use. Shame.

Oh man, he must have gave away so much time prompting ai agent. Shame on me:)

I wrote code. But, the whole point of this project for me was to experiment with how far I could take AI as an assistant to help me with coding. So far, I've been extremely impressed.

How is it over-engineered slop? Happy to improve things, but I thought it was pretty clean.

You claim to have 30+ years of webdev experience and yet 2 MEGABYTES of javascript only for those features doesn't feel/look wrong to you?

Hey please don't cross into personal attack. You can make your substantive points without that.

You're not really answering the question.

That's the bundle size, not the amount of code in the project.

I've done nothing to try to optimize the bundle size, but I suspect that a lot of it has to do with some of the third party dependencies like mermaid.

Well, i downloaded firefox extension and checked the size of only *.js files without any additional assests - and it's 2 megabytes. Mermaid is around 800kb, so it still leaves over 1 megabyte of javascript.

The amount of abstraction alone for the project of this scope makes me cringe. You introduce unnecessary complexity.

In all fairness, 30+ years of web development is exactly what would convince you that shipping 1+ MB of JS is fine, no? I'm not really kidding... Web development is where all of the worst practices in programming thrive and come from. Some of them are spending minutes (sometimes 10+ minutes) compiling/"building" web pages before they "deploy" them, and so on.

30+ years in web development is what you say at the support group to explain why you're there, not to convince people you've developed good taste and reasonable sensibilities.

Edit: Zed Shaw didn't know it at the time, but "Rails is a ghetto" wasn't describing even a local minimum in web development, it was the start of an incredible valley we've yet to see the bottom of. A sea of unskilled morons unable and unwilling to learn even the basics of just about everything came in droves and never left. Now they have bullshit generators that'll generate the shit code they probably were going to ship anyway, except faster.

I'm curious, what value have you brought to the ecosystem? What's your github? Is this it? https://github.com/wesz

Yes, it is. I'm not really active on github (other than some toys i want to share with friends), i didn't even update portfolio on my website in over 10 years.

I'm happy to share my projects and contributions privately, if you're interested.

Please share. You've said some nasty things in this thread about me personally as well as my hard work. Stuff that even got reprimanded by dang.

Now, you're talking about bringing value to the ecosystem, and I'm not sure how 10 year old github accounts, and private repositories fulfill that.

Let's see what you've got that is so amazing.

I didn't say anything nasty, now you're just delusional. I had a feeling you were butthurt when you dug my profile:) Relax, calm down and then we can talk.

[deleted] apparently not ai generated. still sounds weird.

Thanks for the feedback!
