   Unfortunately any PHP devloper worth their money knows that developing WP sites, even if you follow the WP's standard to the T, is a horrible experience riddled with anti patterns. But, to try to remedy that by duct-taping an entirely

   I love the mention of "innovation". What innovation? All the areas of innovation that matter to the EU people, the U.S does not have. 0 federal paid holidays, almost non existent maternity leave, encourages unpaid overtime (someth

   Love it. Maybe one day U.S companies will learn that while they can steal and sell their own peoples information as they please, and they'll even have their own people brainwashed into such a state of stockholm syndrome that they will

   Same in Estonia. You can see the owners / shareholders of every private company and also all the financial / tax information per financial quarter (and year).

   In most EU countries it is mandatory minimum to give 4 paid weeks off per year, otherwise the company is breaking the law. And maternity leave obviously is almost a year, paid, not 2 weeks unpaid. I find it hard to justify living in a place

    Ladybird very much exists. Been running it successfully in Linux for a while now.

    Yeah it could be very well possible that it wasn't limited to just 3 tries back then, or at the very least the ATM would not block and eat the card then, allowing you to try again or at a different machine.

    Would the ATM thing actually work though? Afaik most European ATM banks issue 4 digit pin codes and will block and eat the card at 3 invalid tries. Not sure how many tries you have total, but I figure it's not that easy to guess it rig

    What an odd take. Pretty sure most programmers actually do use Windows, you just don't see them all over social media telling everybody that they do (like some Linux users).

    I got scared away from Edge with its 10 dark pattern popups you get when you first open it. I haven't had such a horrible experience in a long, long time.

    I heard that upgrading the framework laptop would end up costing about the same as just buying a new regular midrange laptop entirely, at which point I'm not really sure if I'd care about the upgradeability. Update: updating the m

    Modern PHP applications use Composer to manage packages as well as to install PHP extensions. Configuring your PHP app is entirely for you to do - whether you keep your configuration in the database is not a problem of PHP, it's your a

    PHP tooling is amazing. WordPress tooling is not, since it uses archaic development practices.

    Yeah but you can't force people who don't want to come to the office to come there just because you prefer it that way. And in any case, I'm sure there would be more than just 1 person who'd prefer a social aspect /

    I'd love to take work a lot _less_ seriously, tbh. I don't live to work, after all.

    These people should maybe go to co-working places then. Can still work without the butts-in-seats managers over looking every move you make while also getting the social aspect.

    "The Great Enshittification" continues. Probably for many years. I expect it to be a topic in history class generations from now.
