It gets worse

Coding is just a part of engineering, I'm currently in a mental block, I would be very happy if an AI wrote the code for me, but from the look of it only change the way i would write code, instead of thinking+writing loop, it would be prompting+reading loop which is kinda worst IMO

That mirrors my thoughts pretty well.

From what I gather by watching presentations and talking to people, it's worse. You need to build up these sort of "pre-prompt" texts where you essentially create those different personas before you even start telling it, middle-manager-style, what to build - and hope for the best.

It seems like aside from rote tasks such as generating boilerplate, you can produce better code, quicker, by doing it yourself.

Isn't that done by passing function definitions or "tools" to the llm?

We had the same issue because Marketing was using a stupid landing page SaaS tool to generate sales, it was connected directly to Stripe and we didn't have any control over it. We discovered the problem through Intercom, which notified us about a high volume of bounced emails (automatically sent after purchase). It was clear what was going on after discovering the same pattern.

To fix it, I had to proxy that unreliable SaaS software to implement CAPTCHAs and stronger bot detection. It was essentially a MITM-style proxy but for protection. It was fun to implement

What did you move to? We've been using NextJS as a frontend with somehelpful server-side/api handling, but the backend is done in Django. We are basically just using ReactJS with the convenience of NextJS (like file based routing)

I like Remix a lot better for this use case than Next.js. Much simpler, easier to host on your own servers.

Astro is also really nice and easy to learn and host.

We have some other projects that are Angular, and NextJS was sort of a proof of concept for us. The goal is to just have one front-end framework for our devs to work with (and keep up to date, ugh!), so we’re folding those deploys back into our Angular family of features.

Have you checked out https://astro.build/ yet? You can drop in any framework where you need it, so if you need to bring along those Angular components you can but you can also lean on React if you need it.

No, and on a cursory look it doesn’t seem very aligned with our goals anyhow.

Not OP; but when I was thinking about using Next.JS, and doing a deep investigation, I came to the decision that, for server-side rendering, I'm quite happy to use Kotlin and Ktor (my backend is also Kotlin - I have a lot of client-types, which is why they're separate), and I've been quite happy with Ktor's html dsl + htmx for speed.

And Kotlin + Ktor feels very good to write in on serverside. Fast, easy and fluent to write in, like Ruby; but with Java's ecosystem, speed and types.

How are you doing reusable components with the html dsl? From the little bit I’ve tried ktor this was something I could not figure out and it kinda just pushed me away since I couldn’t find anything.

To build reusable components, I end up using a mix of a lot of extension functions and Kotlin's function pointer syntax.

So, the components themselves will look something like this:

    fun HtmlBlockTag.radioButtonWithLabel(
        groupName: String,
        id: String,
        hidden: Boolean = false,
        radioButtonFunc: (INPUT.() -> Unit)? = null,
        func: LABEL.() -> Unit
    ) {
        radioInput(name=groupName) {
            this.id = id
            this.hidden = hidden
            radioButtonFunc?.invoke(this)
        }
        label { this.htmlFor = id; func() }
    }

And then use of them will be like this:

  call.respondHtml {
      body {
          div(CSS_CLASS_NAME) {
              radioButtonWIthLabel(MORE_CSS_CLASS_NAME, "group", "id") {
                  +"Text for the label"
              }
          }
      }
  }

More complicated examples just extend that quite a lot.

I've also got whole files dedicated to single extension functions that end up being a whole section that I can place anywhere.

---

And then to test those single-function components, I'll do something like this:

  class SingleSectionTest {
      private suspend fun ApplicationTestBuilder.buildApplicationAndCall(
          data: DataUsedForSection
      ): Document {
            application {
                routing {
                    get("test") {
                        call.respondHtml {
                            body {
                                renderSingleSection(data)
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
    
            val response = client.get("test")
            val body = Jsoup.parse(response.bodyAsText())
    
            return body;
        }

      @Test
      fun `simple test case`() = testApplication {
          val data = DataUsedForSection("a", "b", "c")
          val body = buildApplicationAndCall(data)
          
          // all the asserts
      }
  }

And so on. Is this what you were wondering? Or would you like a different sort of example?

That's pretty much what I was looking for, thank you for sharing! I think that's probably the nicest way I've seen to do it, annoying that Kotlin seems to force you to add it as a child (? idk the word...) of an existing HTML tag, wish you could just import a component or something :(

Kotlin calls those "Extensions" [0], and yeah, they can be pretty annoying. I first learned about them in C# and I had a bunch of frustrations with them, especially when I found some code on StackOverflow or Microsoft's docs and they'd use one of those methods and it just plain wouldn't be there for me because I hadn't downloaded the right nuget package or anything.

I've gotten more used to them and I get why they can be so great now; but there's still some real annoyances with them I just can't shake (like the import problem and the related "where is this code?!" problem)

---

Purely importing a component that's just a simple class, like you can do in Java/Typescript with their jsx and tsx files would be pretty cool, yeah. You could fake it by making a data class and adding a

  fun renderInto(tag: HtmlBlockTag) { ... }

type method, but with how Ktor's Dsl is implemented, you're still going to need to connect it into the giant StringBuilder (or whatever) that the dsl is building to.

To help me get something close to that idea, I tend to dedicate whole files to bigger components and even name the file the same as the root HtmlBlockTag Extension method (like RadioButtonWithLabel.kt if I did it for the earlier one). Those files are great because you can put a bunch of helper methods in the same file and keep it all contained, a lot like a class.

It's easy to make that animation with text and current client IP

Yeah I hear you - improvements coming here soon!
