Links by Friday 022 - The Problem with Passkeys
Sometimes I think we make new things not because they solve a need we have but simply because they’re new. Maybe it’s age but I find myself fighting against complexity. Yet I fear we are hooked on new, shiny, complex things.
The Problem with Passkeys
https://unixdigest.com/articles/are-passkeys-really-the-beginning-of-the-end-of-passwords-i-certainly-hope-not.htmlAs of late, Passkeys are promoted as the killer of passwords and a lot of companies are now manically transitioning from passwords to Passkeys. I don't think that is a good idea.
Communities and Stories
Without communities, we are destined to fail at many of our endeavours simply because great things cannot be done alone.

My Personal Dev Journey
I was a self-taught developer - kept learning and kept delivering lots of web apps single-handedly for almost 5 years at this start-up. I learnt a lot more than just web development - how a start-up runs, how to get clients, crack sales, how social media marketing works and so on.

I believe we should look beyond libraries and frameworks and rediscover the value of patterns and principles, and I’d argue that it would lead us to have less breaking changes and add more longevity to the stuff we build.
Framework-less Modern Web Development
Schematics was a simple project as far as architecture goes, and web components and ES6 modules took me most of the way there. I can't see myself building a complex app without a framework.
ESM, Web Components and more native browser features can take you very far without the need for bundling or reaching for a framework.

How far can framework-free, zero-build codebases take you in 2021?
That's it, see you next time.
