Eh, eventually AI will write like humans but currently most of the time it's very much apparent what was written by AI. English is my second language so it's hard for me to pinpoint the exact reason why but I guess it's more

Can't argue with that, because most public-facing "apps" are mostly read-only. However after a bunch of years working for a software house I can tell you that there are a lot of "non-user" reasons for choosing SPAs.

I feel insane reading that older systems felt faster/snappier. Especially before SSDs everything was super slow. You'd wait for a minute to boot the system, load up a game or anything other substantial. Then of course all of the a

Yeah read-heavy apps shouldn't be SPAs. There's just nothing useful to show or do in there without data. However if a native desktop version of reddit existed it would have exactly the same problem, so it isn't really a tech

Blame JS haters. With the resurgence of old school SSR approach like the one enabled with HTMX we will see more of that in the future. Some devs will do a lot not to touch the frontend.

But that's exactly the point of SPAs - they load once and run locally even when changing "pages", syncing just data. It's just like a normal desktop app embedded in the browser page. If they expose the PWA manifest they

Kind of same, except add a wife and a kid under way. There's plenty of us. Most people absolutely do not regularly "go out" if they work and have a family. We maintain the bare minimum social interaction because we have to bu

As a man with a full time job (remote), a wife and a kid under way I cannot really fathom having energy for more social activities (except meeting some friends or family at most once a month, reluctantly). Am I a hikikomori? I kind of relat

If you use an existing game engine all you need really is some decent Google-fu... I've been commissioned to create some non-public VR experiences for a couple of people and all I needed during development was some basic high-school ve

You can always just refuse. They will find somebody else for it if they need it (usually they don't, system outages/errors are opportunity cost most of the time, not actual emergencies) but they will most probably still keep you f

It's so so different where I live (Poland). It's still super common here to pair up in high school or university where you are basically still a bunch of nobodies and stay together through the fire and flames™ unless literal abuse

The complains come from how fake it is. Companies force "corporate fun" where there is none. They try to influence your personal life. They want you to dedicate your entire life to the company and they want you to treat coworkers

I don't think it's denial. I think most people simply do not care that much about life in general. Or maybe rather: most do not care that much about the continuation of the current form of civilization. Or even maybe risky: most w

Disagree. I rarely remember what lib has the class/function/whatever I need. Doesn't help that some libs often use "proprietary" names (e.g. "Uno", "Avalonia", "Rotativa"). I often don&

This! It's not even about the family. I think it just gets boring and unnecessarily exhausting after 10+ years so it transforms to trips, mid-day visits at home and various shared hobbies (like you meet with your friends to go boulderi

Not OP, but most of the people I know above 30 don't "go out" on weekday evenings nor regular weekends tbh. Even people without kids. Various trips and meets in friends' houses during the day (usually Sunday) is the main

Another would be DXWND which is amazing :) It has a ton of options that not only fix various issues with old games but you even have additional features like an ability to run games that never had that support in windowed mode.

Kind of same really. For the past 8 years I've been just "a senior developer". Commercially I've created some CRUD document-processing systems with .NET + web stuff, I've created some apps for smart barcode scanners

I think that's a bit outside of the topic, because we're now discussing a case of "only passion, 0 knowledge" which was not the point. The author of the article thinks that not looking at the bigger picture (or the upper

Good advice to advance your career, but I'd say there's nothing wrong with being passionate/excited about the craft and not the result. Newbies should just be aware that this can affect their career (they will have better job

The general average salary is low everywhere as most jobs don't require any kind of "higher" education, so of course devs earn more. I'm earning 4-5x of Poland's average but that's meaningless. I sure as heck d
