Kill Your Dependencies
This post talks about Ruby but it’s true of every language community: Python, JavaScript, Java, etc. The scourge of dependencies spares no one. This is a dependency visualization of every Rails app I’ve ever used. Does any of this sound familiar: Gemfile with 100s of entries. Test gems loading in production. Each Rails process takes 100s of megabytes of RAM. The Rubygems system is commendable for how easy it makes packaging up Ruby for others to reuse. But that very ease means it’s also quite easy for those gems to pull in other gems transitively, leading to Rails apps which “download the Internet” and have hundreds of dependencies.

Yet another gem from @simonwillison.net that matches my own experience over the last ~3 months. There's no way I could've built my latest ~650 KLOC system in Go without designing and understanding it precisely. It'd be a total mess, and I'm using Fable and Astra for the vast majority of my work.
Still trying to figure out how to talk about our Patchwork project: it's a local-first malleable software system that builds on our past work. It's shadertoy and a markdown editor but it's also a minecraft clone and an ohmjs programming language workbench. It's also none of those things, or more?
