   That would be fine, imo. But seeing as their new development efforts (Block/Gutenberg themes) are also making horrible decisions when they no longer have to (such as putting templating markup inside of HTML comments as JSON)[1] E.g:

   Actually market effects these days make it so that clients themselves demand WordPress, and are unwilling to try any alternative platforms at all. So either I decline the client and make no money or have to use WP.

   I just wish WordPress actually adhered to development standards, not actively tried to break them. Using globals everywhere and encouraging spaghetti code with its classic themes, and with its new themes it evidently learned nothing and is

   I'm one of those mainstream devs (who also did Clojure for 6 years, coincidentally) who never got into emacs, and always just used the Cursive IDE plugin for IntelliJ and its Parinfer editing mode. I know I probably didn't unlock

   Or Parinfer. I personally like Parinfer more than Paredit, mainly because I can't be arsed to learn a gazillion keyboard shortcuts.

   What are some good long battery life Windows laptops currently on market? I wouldn't need 20 hours (like macbooks have), but I'd like to get an entire work day without charging and my current experience with Windows laptops is tha

   While all true, if as many people wanted to become carpenters today as back before IKEA was a thing, they'd quickly find out there isn't enough demand. I think that's the big fear in software as well, that while yes people ca

    I actually find it amazing how much impact I can have coming back to PHP after half a decade of modern development practises at start-ups. I am introducing version control, CI/CD pipelines, testing, and am able to have real, tangible i

    Debugging is pretty easy with something like Ray ( https://myray.app/ ) or Laravel Herd ( https://herd.laravel.com/ , despite its name runs differnet php apps just fine). When it coems to running different PHP

    After 6 years of Clojure, I went back to PHP because it now has type safety and an amazing ecosystem of high quality libraries, allowing me to be very performant in my work. But then again, I was never in a abusive relationship because back

    PHP is awesome if you're a pragmatic engineer who just wants to get things done, and with things like Laravel Octane, it's also a decent solution for high performance applications now, something it historically wasn't good at

    It's funny, with all the saturation of streaming services and despite having more disposable income than ever before, I actually largely went back to what I did as a teenager - piracy. I don't have a problem paying for things, but

    In-shengen border controls are extremely easy to bypass, and if you travel a lot you know exactly where they are (especially since it is quite rare). Baltic countries have no checks at all at the borders, so you can go Sweden to Finland, Fi

    At 6.8 mil $ per year salary (2022), could hire ~130 developers from Europe. Probably more when looking at Eastern Europe.

    80 is old? Where I'm from (Northern Europe) 80 is dead, not old. So given that you can't be old when you are already dead, old here is anywhere 60+, with 70+ being the last few years you have left (average life expetency is 76).
