TIL you can make VS Code automatically use your alias path imports instead of those ugly relative paths ✨

import useHaptics from "./useHaptics"
⬇️
import useHaptics from "#shared/hooks/useHaptics"
A code snippet setting "javascript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier" and "typescript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier" to "non-relative".

Maybe I'm just getting old, but I would always choose fruit over candy. It's like nature already hooked us up with sweet treats.

think of local-first as a hardening function

local systems should remain operational even when the infrastructure isn't... when the infrastructure comes back online, changes are synced

it's the same reason you might want a battery or generator if the electrical grid goes down

Bitcoin is a self-guaranteeing promise because it is decentralized by design. You don't need to trust anyone to ensure that it is and remains this way.

Altcoins like Ethereum are run by organizations you must trust and therefore always have a "backdoor" to circumvent decentralization.

Companies break promises all the time. A self-guaranteeing promise does not require you to trust anyone.

Full essay:
stephango.com/self-guarantee
Companies break promises all the time. A self-guaranteeing promise does not require you to trust anyone. You can verify a self-guaranteeing promise yourself. File over app is a self-guaranteeing promise. If files are in your control, in an open format, you can use those files in another app at any time. Not an export. The exact same files. It’s good practice to test this with any self-proclaimed file-over-app app you use. Terms and policies are not self-guaranteeing. A company may promise the privacy of your data, but those policies can change at any time. Changes can retroactively affect data you have spent years putting into the tool. Examples: Google, Zoom, Dropbox, Tumblr, Slack, Adobe, Figma. A self-guaranteeing promise about privacy gives you proof that the tool cannot access your data in the first place. Encoding values into a governance structure is not self-guaranteeing. Given enough motivation, the corporate structure can be reversed. The structure is not in your hands. Example: OpenAI. Open source alone is not self-guaranteeing. Even open source apps can rely on data that is stuck in databases or in proprietary formats that are difficult to switch away from. Open source is not a reliable safeguard against the biases of venture capital. Examples: Omnivore, Skiff. When you choose to use a tool, the future of that tool is always ambiguous. On a long enough timeline the substrate changes. Your needs change, the underlying operating system changes, the company goes out of business or gets acquired, better options come along. It is possible to accept the ambiguousness of a tool’s future if you choose tools that make self-guaranteeing promises.
