State management is legacy code. If you're still managing state in 2025 what are you doing? The two most popular frameworks in React - Next.js 15 and React Router v7 (a.k.a. Remix) - both come with first-class, built-in: • data-loading, • mutation, • caching and • UI-state APIs that largely replace the need for manual useState/Redux-style plumbing. If you’re still manually wiring useState + useEffect (or pulling in Redux/Zustand) just to fetch data, handle form mutations, or show loading/errors, you're writing more code to achieve less. Modern frameworks even abort in-flight requests automatically - something I’ve never seen done right manual state-management, even on the strongest engineering teams. Bottom line: If you've neglected switching to the "new hot trend tech" and stuck with whatever approach your company picked a couple of years ago, now is one of those rare moments when making the switch is actually worth it.

Most devs: “How do we autosave form data? Time to add a custom hook, debounce logic, and maybe Redux, right?” Nah. I autosave form data with 5 lines of JS and localStorage. That’s it. - No libraries. - No context provider. - No more “oops, my browser crashed and I lost my draft” panic. One native API, zero dependencies, works everywhere. Save your users and your future self from frustration. Sometimes, the answer is just: use what’s already there.

Do not build an airplane if you need just a bicycle! 🔥 ———————————————————— I started a side project a while ago. Wrote it in PHP, even though I didn't know PHP. Why? Because I wanted to get live fast and cheap. Shared hosting for $2, domain for $10/year — boom, MVP live. I also used Cursor — I was coding by myself, so I wanted a silent partner to keep an eye on my code. Well worth it. But the MVP grew. I just kept adding features onto it. No structure. No overall plan. The codebase soon became a fragile house of cards. Every change had the risk of breaking something else. So I rewrote it a few days ago. This time using what I know: React + Node.js (Express) and TypeScript. Not the most scalable environment in the world, but something I can handle by myself. And that's sufficient. 🎯Here's what I learned — and what I'd say to anyone who's launching a product: • Don't use enterprise tools if you don't have an enterprise team. • Don't overcomplicate things from the beginning. • Use what you know. Familiar > fancy. • Only build what you need today. Tomorrow may be completely different. • Ship fast. Perfect code written too late won't save a bad launch. Sometimes, you just need to move. Not impress. Keep it simple. Build. Test. Break. Repeat. ⸻ What did you learn from overengineering (or avoiding it)? #techstartup #mvp #reactjs #nodejs #buildinpublic #overengineering #devlife

⚡️Building Apps is all about Entity manipulation via Workflows, exposed on a UI⚡️ Over the past few years, I've had a chance to build applications where the focus is on Content and how it is presented on the screens. Because we leverage entities (which are already structured data), it was easier for us to map them to specific UI screens and components that allow user interaction. This approach has been phenomenally powerful in terms of creating a streamlined approach to thinking and building applications in general. Looking at multiple industries over the last few years, such as Retail, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Pharma, Real Estate, Restaurants, and a few others, I realized that every industry is about managing the core entities that run the business along with the supporting entities that help the business from an economic perspective. The essence of Application Development seems to come down to these important insights: 1. Discover the core, meta and operational entities. 2. Define the workflows to manipulate them with the right interventions via a User Interface. 3. Render on Mobile and/or Web to meet customers where they want to be. The AI prompts we have built to build applications at Vyuh Technologies leverage these insights and have helped us quickly scaffold from an idea to a working application. This system is also useful for evolving the application as you keep adding more workflows, entities, and richer user-interactions on mobile or web. #app #development #vyuh #workflow #entities #ui #framework

My favorite use case of GPT 5 is generating single HTML files. Building "disposable software" but without all the dev environments, dependencies, bundles Frameworks are made for humans: I'd rather write React because vanilla javascript is painful But agents dont care. Try it: build a full app and ask ChatGPT to “generate this as a single html file”. Download the file and just click it and your web browser will automatically open it

🔥 After 167 bug fixes, 110 feature additions, and 106 minor improvements, ShadowTraffic is now 1.0! Deciding when to 1.0 a product is obviously a bit arbitrary, but it signals a special degree of stability and maturity. A sort of willingness to put your money where your mouth is. Now at over 20 paying customers—10 of which are Enterprises—ShadowTraffic has been molded into the ideal tool for generating synthetic data. I couldn't be more thankful to every single team I've worked with who's made that happen. It started out simple—a small tool to create fake data streams in Apache Kafka—but has since blossomed into something much more: 🏗️ Engineering teams use it to build more robust test suites 🏦 Sales engineers use it to run faster proof-of-concept projects 🎤 Developer advocates use it put on killer demos And it's outgrown Kafka, too. ShadowTraffic can now generate data to over 10 output targets, including batch systems like S3, Postgres, and local file systems. 🏆 Last but not least, 1.0 has minted ShadowTraffic's ability to do what is probably the most requested feature ever: execute custom code. Ruby, Python, and JavaScript come out of the box. People often ask me what's next, and my answer is always the same: Keep building Keep having fun Keep helping my customers!

You don't need to rewrite your PHP app to add AI features. Yesterday's webinar with Valerio Barbera of Neuron AI PHP framework proved exactly that. We walked through adding AI capabilities to existing PHP applications without starting from scratch. The most eye-opening moment? Seeing how flexible tools like Neuron AI framework make it possible to add sophisticated AI agents right into your existing PHP codebase. This isn't theoretical - we saw working examples of agents that could access your application data and perform meaningful tasks. For those who couldn't join us: The key to future-proofing your PHP applications lies in abstraction layers that let you swap out AI models as the technology evolves, rather than hardcoding dependencies. I'd be interested to hear: What's stopping you from adding AI to your existing applications? Is it technical barriers, use case uncertainty, or something else? #php #ai P.S. The link to the full recording is in the comment section

Quick performance tip⚡: do not over optimize web fonts. Yesterday, while doing a live audit, I noticed a 1.6 MB stylesheet that contained 24(!!) base 64 encoded web fonts. This caused a 4 second delay between the TTFB and the FCP on mobile! How does that work exactly? A browser will not start rendering without downloading all the stylesheets (because without stylesheets the browser will not know how to style the page). That is why a single large stylesheet can become a #corewebvitals bottleneck and add to a page it's 'blank time' Good news: This issue is now fixed, and the site is fast again. However if you feel like you might have over optimized your web-fonts now would be a great time to go and check!
