I'm surprised to see so few mentions of AlpineJS. Personally, PETAL has become my de facto stack.

The main thing that's kept me from using Alpine in my serious projects is that it doesn't work with a strict CSP.

What is PETAL?

Phoenix, Elixir, Tailwind, Alpine, and LiveView.

The PHP equivalent would be the TALL stack (Tailwind, AlpineJS, Laravel and Livewire). Although Livewire just communicates over AJAX. The original Websockets version didn't make it.

I just found out that Livewire was inspired by LiveView.

"Since I got into rails 10 years ago..." -- this is my line! Cheers!

How has your experience with LiveView been?

Pretty great. It let me write this really quickly with minimal effort. There were some quirks and some weird hacks I had to make when it came to working with JS, but that could also be me doing it wrong.

My biggest complaint would be around some latency issues when the connection is bad, but I knew that would be an issue when I chose it. I would definitely choose it again.

Our workspace has been referred to as “the bullpen”. One dev gets a cold, soon after another.

Great book. Right up there with Mythical Man Month.

Are you hiring? (Half heartedly joking...)

We absolutely are! Our list of open positions is on our website: https://www.viasat.com/careers/openings. I'd post my usual spiel about our Seattle office (where I work now), but we're renting coworking space up here, so I don't want to bait and switch.

I'd imagine $90k would be considered.
