stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, javascript, react, software, typescript, webdev

In recent years, there's been a noticeable shift in how developers approach UI libraries, moving away from installing entire component libraries via npm packages and toward directly copy-pasting the code into their codebase. This trend has been largely popularized by Shadcn/UI, a library that provides developers with ready-made, customizable components that can be copied directly into a project for maximum flexibility. Why Copying Wins for Complex Components The copy-paste approach shines, particularly for complex UI elements such as authentication pages, detailed dashboards, or intricate data visualizations. These components require fine-tuned customization that’s difficult to achieve through immutable npm packages. Instead…

This is why i hate project based learning

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbeginners, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, programming, software, webdev

I've been programming for about two years at university, but I've been coding since before then. I used to think that project-based learning was the best way to learn quickly—after all, it teaches you to build things in a "real" and fast way. But over time, I've come to realize that this approach has its downsides. The Problem with Project-Based Learning In project-based courses, you often end up building the same type of projects as everyone else, following similar tutorials and structures. This means you’re learning how to build the same things that thousands of others are building, rather than…
