Today’s head-scratcher:

I’m rewriting the contact form on my website with SolidJS using the Astro integration and I cannot for the life of me figure out why preventDefault() is not working when submitting the form. 🥲

Témoignage d'un développeur React avec 8 ans d'expérience après avoir utilisé Solid pendant 1 mois. Spoiler : il y a pas mal de complexité dans React que les devs acceptent par habitude mais qui n'est pas irrémédiable.

⚛️ If you are still perfectly happy using React in 2025, then this article will likely not resonate with you. And that's okay. Feel free to skip it.

}
```

Metaphorically, coming to Solid feels like no longer needing that approach for UI state changes.

This is all off the back of a very successfull trial with Cambs NHS with distinctly positive feedback and outcomes!

As I previously mentioned we're hiring software developers, physiotherapists, and other roles on-site in the #Cambridge (UK) area: https://careers.flok.health/

The software work is mainly #Python centred on a core of #Django, with some front-end using #SolidJS/#React and similar, plus the ususal sorts of tools and infrastructure. There's even a bit of Rust lurking off to one side (but not often touched at the moment.)

Right, I'll really take the corporate-shill hat off for a while now (but really, it's an interesting and pleastant start-up to work for! 🤠 And no, no LLMs/GenAI! Think more oldskool: "expert systems"!)
