Internet of Things might be the worst terminology in tech
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1ru5mcr/internet_of_things_might_be_the_worst_terminology/

<!-- SC_OFF -->“IoT” might be the most useless piece of terminology in tech. What does that phrase even mean? “Things.” If someone says they work on an Internet of Things platform, it could mean: sensors embedded devices telemetry pipelines smart home gadgets Instead we somehow ended up with a phrase that sounds like it came out of a 2012 venture capital pitch deck. Let’s stop calling everything “IoT” and just describe the system or use literally any other name. Your thermostat sending data somewhere is not “the Internet of Things.” It’s a temperature sensor with a network connection. “Internet of Things” is just what happens when marketing discovers embedded systems.” <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/BringtheBacon (https://www.reddit.com/user/BringtheBacon)

React-Like JSX Syntax for Webcomponents
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1rv56qn/reactlike_jsx_syntax_for_webcomponents/

<!-- SC_OFF -->TLDR; I’ve been experimenting with react-like jsx-syntax with webcomponents to see if I could theoretically replace React in one of my projects. It is not ready for production use, but rather an exploration into CustomElements and modern browser capabilities. https://github.com/positive-intentions/dim The goal was to build functional Web Components that handle state management and DOM updates without the overhead of a massive JavaScript framework. By leveraging standard Web APIs and Proxy objects, I’ve managed to create a reactive programming model that feels familiar—using JSX—but stays much closer to the browser platform. I wanted to see how far i could take web components before the architecture broke down. If you're interested in frontend software engineering or web standards, you might find the logic behind the updates (which avoid a traditional virtual DOM) interesting. Full technical tutorial and deep dive: https://positive-intentions.com/docs/research/Tutorials/dim/dim-functional-webcomponents Disclaimer: This project is not ready for production use. In fact, this project may be getting deprecated soon, but I’m sharing it because the unique details into custom elements and modern JavaScript performance might be interesting or educational for others exploring the web platform. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Accurate-Screen8774 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Accurate-Screen8774)
