I'm one of those devs who migrated all of the company sites to Laravel-based CMSes. Waaaay better experience, users are happy, updates are a breeze, and the sites are fast and reliable. WordPress has become so tacky and this drama is e

Ah, my friend created guides for soloing (or play with a friend without a GM) TTRPGs using ChatGPT, here's his site: https://oracle-rpg.com/ The Discord is pretty active too. I forwarded him this study, he'll appr

It's why I said I am curious to see the outcome of this. Will it help the company or damage it? We'll see.

I've been reading Cal Newport's stuff on Deep Work and Digital Minimalism and have some of his other books on my to read list. Considering the stuff he talks about and his new book on slow productivity, this move seems like a real

Same. I upgraded last year and the software is fantastic and priced exceptionally well. I used to have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, but it got way too expensive and the frequency I used it didn't justify the price. Glad I foun

When I decide to quit software engineering (after I've made enough money I guess), I'm interested to look into microbiology, because mushrooms and fungi are really cool.

I'm with you 100% Maybe I am missing the point, but why would people want to manage their content within their code? It seems incredibly weird and prone to quite messy and unmaintainable code. I wonder if they even looked into headless

I have a Jetbrains AI subscription and I use it mostly to write commit messages. It speeds up my work significantly, but I still have to skim over the generated output to make sure the message is correct. I tried it for code generation and

Same. It makes me feel nihilistic and I stopped giving much of a shit about the work I do. It's just a paycheck, nothing else. I work 20 hours a week and more than half of that is meetings and I am not even in management. To combat thi

Yeah, I was gonna say SPAs are not really good for marketing type of sites. Doesn't work easily with SEO. I learned this the hard way, but there are other use cases for SPAs. Just don't use it for sites that require good SEO. I am

Looks awesome, I am trying it out :) it's a pity I can't get paid, because Stripe is not available in my country. Maybe add some other options, such as Paddle, to those of us who are located in Africa where Stripe is not available

My job title is frontend dev and I definitely don't think of the stuff I do as product first. Maybe just the nature of the job I am currently doing, or the fact that I manage a full stack website? Depends on the context, I suppose. The

I've also switched to Affinity back in March, because of the fact that Creative Cloud was becoming too expensive for me and my crappy 3rd world income.

I set a schedule every day for myself. In my diary, I set aside 4 hours a day for my university courses, segmenting them into 4 25-minute sessions. Don't overdo it, study smart, not hard. I also do a bunch of online courses on anything

It's worse than ever. I am having a lot of trouble keeping to my deadlines for work and have to work around all the blackouts which frustratingly disrupts my life and thousands of other businesses. Just a couple more years until my deg

I suspect they're withdrawing due to infrastructure issues. We also have frequent power cuts (in my area it's up to 4 hours a day with no electricity) and loads of cable theft. Some of the cell towers even get shut down because pe
