Key distinction here: he's still employed and has a working badge and computer until the end of November. He's just been relieved of all official duty.
As a devops engineer who has recently been tasked with building UIs for our team and our developers, HTMX is a godsend. I create apps that often get steadily worked on for weeks and then only maintenance once and a while after that. I used to write django apps, but recently switched to a go backend with go html templates and htmx. This allows me to push everything in one docker image and avoid the black box nature of big frameworks that I don't have the time to fully understand.
I know this doesn't add to the conversation very well but I just want to throw it out there that htmx is a good replacement for a larger framework that you don't fully understand.
Also shoutout aplineJs for making small JS changes easy.
This is very cool. I'm working on a side project right now with a go back end and alpine front end. One of the things I've had to overcome is handling cookies and CORS since not everything is served from localhost.
I ended up packaging my frontend in an nginx container and using that same nginx container as a proxy for the backend but the whole time I thought maybe this small project would be easier if everything was served by go.
Will definitely keep an eye on this for future stuff.
