Why do people default to React and JavaScript for frontend and UIs?**
As a backend developer whose frontend experience is mostly from using Phoenix and Django that utilize server-side rendering, I’m wondering why do most people choose React and JavaScript as the “default” frontend solution, even for pages and SaaS products that don’t really benefit from any additional client-side interactivity? ⌘ Read more

Recommendations for an OS to install on an old Mac laptop?**
A relative owns an old Mac laptop, a MacBook Pro 5,5, that is used as, basically, a Chromebook: to run Google Chrome to run Google Docs and other Google Web apps. The laptop runs Mac OS 10.11 and cannot update further. Its Google Chrome is stuck on an old version, 103.0.5060.134, because newer versions no longer support Mac OS 10.11. As of recently, Google Docs says it no longer supports this laptop’s old version of Chrome.

Hey fellow Vim users! 👋

I’ve created Oscura Vim, a dark colorscheme inspired by the stunning Oscura VS Code theme.

It features:

✅ Deep contrast for better readability

✅ Carefully tuned syntax highlighting to reduce eye strain

✅ A clean, modern aesthetic for long coding sessions

✅ Support for popular plugins (Treesitter, LSP, etc.)

If you’re looking for a fresh, elegant look for Vim, check it out! Would love to hear your feedback. 🚀
