HTML First & Angular v17 & Cloud Computing & The Essentials of the Internet

This Week’s Highlights

Introducing GPTs https://openai.com/blog/introducing-gpts
GPTs are a new way for anyone to create a customized version of ChatGPT that’s more helpful in daily life, for specific tasks, at work, or at home—and then share that creation with others. For example, GPTs can teach you the rules of any board game, help your kids with math, or design stickers. Anyone can easily build their own GPT—no coding required. You can make them for personal use, for your company’s internal needs, or for the public. Creating one is as simple as starting a conversation, giving it instructions and extra knowledge, and selecting what it can do, such as searching the web, generating images, or analyzing data.

HTML First is a set of principles that aims to make building web software easier, faster, more inclusive, and more maintainable by… leveraging the default capabilities of modern web browsers, leveraging the extreme simplicity of HTML’s attribute syntax, and leveraging the web’s “View Source” affordance.

Reintroducing Angular with Angular v17 https://blog.angular.io/introducing-angular-v17-4d7033312e4b
Last month marked the 13th anniversary of Angular’s red shield. AngularJS was the starting point for a new wave of JavaScript frameworks that emerged to meet the growing demand for rich web experiences. Today, with a fresh look and a set of forward‑thinking features, we bring everyone into the future with version 17, setting new standards for performance and developer experience.

Effective Engineering Teams https://addyosmani.com/blog/effective-teams/
Google research found that psychological safety is the most important dynamic for an effective team, alongside other factors such as dependability, role clarity, meaningful work, and impact.

The product approach to open source communities https://stackoverflow.blog/2023/11/08/the-product-approach-to-open-source-communities/
A business wouldn’t take its product development for granted, so why neglect the OSS community that’s fundamental to the project’s very existence?

Is it time to abandon cloud computing? https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/CicctyvV1xk5B-AsKfzPjw
In The Cloud‑Down Odyssey, we translated ten blog posts by cloud‑migration pioneer DHH, documenting their full journey from the cloud to on‑premises. DHH has now saved nearly a million dollars in cloud costs and expects to save tens of millions more over the next five years. We followed up on the latest developments of these cloud‑down pioneers and rendered them in Chinese for our readers.

How Core Web Vitals saved users 10,000 years of waiting for web pages to load https://blog.chromium.org/2023/11/how-core-web-vitals-saved-users-10000.html
In 2020 we introduced Web Vitals—essential quality signals for webpages to ensure a better user experience. Since then, a massive leap in web performance has been made possible by our work on Core Web Vitals (CWV) and its broader impact on the web. Today, over 40 % of sites pass all CWV metrics, resulting in pages that load and respond to interactions more quickly. Here’s a closer look at the journey to improve site performance and the specific browser and ecosystem work that made it happen.

Why You Want (Need) React Query https://tkdodo.eu/blog/why-you-want-react-query
React Query gives you features like caching, retries, polling, data synchronization, prefetching… and about a million more that would go far beyond the scope of this article. It’s fine if you don’t need them, but I still think that shouldn’t stop you from using React Query.

Headless Component: a pattern for composing React UIs https://martinfowler.com/articles/headless-component.html
As React UI controls become more sophisticated, complex logic can become tangled with visual representation. This makes it hard to reason about component behavior, hard to test, and forces you to rebuild similar components with a different look. A Headless Component extracts all non‑visual logic and state management, separating the “brain” of a component from its appearance.

HTML web components https://adactio.com/journal/20618
Web components have been around for a while, but they seem to be having a moment right now. It turns out the best selling point for web components was “wait and see.” For everyone who didn’t see the benefit of web components over being locked into a specific framework, time is proving to be a great teacher.

Announcing self‑hosted Deno KV, continuous backups, and replicas https://deno.com/blog/kv-is-open-source-with-continuous-backup
As we expanded Deno KV with features like TTL, remote connections to hosted databases, read replicas for reduced latency, and Deno Queues, the issue of potential vendor lock‑in emerged. We understand the importance of this concern. Deno is intentionally built on web standards. This aligns with our philosophy: knowing Deno means knowing the web, which empowers you to reach over a billion internet users. In line with our commitment to flexibility and openness, we’re excited to roll out these new features, letting you leverage Deno KV in the way that best fits your needs.
