"no, you don't need to crank the engine to start the car"
"you don't need to drive to the bank to deposit a cheque"
"you don't need to disconnect the phone to get online"

tech moving forwards starts with getting confused that hard things are easy now 😄

I gave it a quick try by stabilising the video (DaVinci Resolve) and averaging the frames (imagemagick) – not quite readable, but feels pretty close for such a basic approach 😄

(at least I _think_ that's roughly why onSuccess is being deprecated, but not sure)

@tkdodo.eu any chance you have an answer for this use-case?

🤝 If you're still using `onSuccess` on a `useQuery` in @tanstack.com Query v4, show me some code and I'll try to refactor it to v5.
📝 Note that there is no silver bullet or 1-1 replacement that works best for all cases. If the only possibility is `useEffect`, you likely have an architectural problem

was thinking about the same thing yesterday - I used to use useQuery's onSuccess with form.setValue which didn't feel toooo bad

but onSuccess is being deprecated for similar reasons to why useEffect is bad, so (ironically) I've switched to useEffect

not a biologist, but since it's on Java you could sandbox it to a new JVM instance to be safe

even more beautiful than my Inspiron! 😅 I've never had the pleasure of using a ZX Spectrum and tbh I'd have no idea where to start

welcome!

I did much the same - find a few people and scroll through their following list 😄

bsky also has starter packs which can be handy! here's a great one by @megaslippers.net: go.bsky.app/QbHxYeJ

why can I write `color: gray` and `color: grey` but not `colour:` 😤
