I recently had to setup another complex monorepo with eslint/vitest/vite/tsup/turborepo and it was such a pain. All the time either eslint breaks for some file, or some build breaks because of some obscure thing in tsconfig, turborepo behaves in a weird way, adding new packages is a pain, etc.
Hopefully Evan can pull this off and we have simpler initial setup.
My main problem with web components that you end up with a build step anyway.
Not every component is interactive and relies on JS, some are just static elements (say avatar image) that you wanna render right away (but at the same time keep styles and logic scoped). Declarative shadow DOM helps, but you end up with a bunch of duplicate code in your final output, which begs the question - why am I using web components at all.
Leaflet should easily handle stuff like this if configured correctly. OP just slaps 3000 markers in a single layer, and each of them is an image element in dom. Should probably use some marker clustering for that.
I really appreciate your position, but the letter is incredibly weak. I understand that it's aimed at government that won't read it otherwise, but:
You call it "operation", it's not operation, it's war.
You ask to prevent human casualties, but thousands are already dead.
A lot of people signing from companies such as Yandex - a search engine that promotes propaganda and hides evidence-based journalism. From VK - a social network that bans opposition communities and spreads misinformation. You can't have it both ways folks.
Yesterday I was filling bags with sand to make a fortification for local defenders. I hear artillery as I am writing this. And by the way, you get used to it.
In the last few days I received about 20 emails offering support, none of them were from russian devs. One asked a technical question about my lib, I answered "do you know what's happening in Ukraine right now?" - no reply.
I see a few russian companies and personalities openly condemn the aggression (such as JetBrains) and I'm very grateful to them. However most are silent, or have very weak Instagram post "no war" with a sadface, or even worse - post with "we are out of politics".
And that's IT people, which are presumably more informed. Unfortunately, due to misinformation most russian people have no idea what's happening here, that's why sanctions should affect regular people, and not just putin and his close allies.
Hopefully Evan can pull this off and we have simpler initial setup.
