Incredibly so. Our frontend devs gave us a talk on React (mainly for backend devs, who know enough frontend to fix bugs). Diagrams with arrows here there and everywhere. NPM install downloads a significant chunk of the internet just to dis

Really depends on what you are coding. I have my debugger set up, it's easier then trying top spot the new print statement in amongst all the other log statements being spat out.

We are doing a democratic design by committee. I am fairly sure that will work out worse in most cases.

Agreed same shit at my work. We have a maintenance problem but the other devs are wanting to solve a scaling problem that we don't have and are unlikely to have in the foreseeable future. Talk of microsevices and one database per servi

Ohhh, downvoted, I assume because 8chan are the bad guys.

Out of interest, what competitors are available? Clodufare protects against DDOS? Does it do other stuff?

Shouldn't have happened in the first place. Should have had something that worked on their own website to indicate the service is down, not needing to come to a somewhat obscure tech forum to find out the details.

I am guessing this is why substack is down?

stuff without sugar. It's one of the few things that nutritional science seems to agree on, sugar is bad, and the more processing involved in a food the worse it is.

I have been burned like that before.One time it was probably a days worth of work, but split over evenings of my free time took longer, so I didn't finish it. Another time it was as if some junior developer was circle jerking. Whining

Fructose is most commonly found in fruit. I am still trying to work out if fruit is a healthy option or not. (Nutritional science can't seem to make up their mind on much).

A quick chat with HR followed by a "coding challenge" for free. I just had a recruitment consultant tell me that my perspective might be wrong for not wanting to do it. He had 70 people in his pipeline for 25 jobs. So I do half a

Nah, all he SPA apps I have worked on have had terrible performance. Way to many calls between backend and frontend. Way too much complexity. I am sure you could write them better, but server side rendering is nowhere near the bottleneck th

If you are doing MVC why wouldn't you use a framework? Lots of well tested code written for you already. Why reinvent the parts of the wheel the are there already?

by collyw 4y ago
The MVC frameworks he was talking about all rely on relational databases as far as I am aware. Django certainly does.

This is what I was thinking. Got Tornado plus a load of home grown code at my work. Compared to Django it's just so slow to develop on. There are so many well tested, documented features in Django, while we have some half arsed buggy i

I have found that all the SPA apps I have inherited (current one particularly) have way too much logic in the frontend. People complain about Django's template language being limited, but that encourages you to keep that stuff for disp

The way I look at it microservices come together to form a monolith. So you effectively have a monoloith with unreliable network connections between components instead of reliable method calls. Much more effort for little benefit for most s

I don't think that the problem is unique to Perl, but Perl syntax can make the problem so much worse.

I have had colleagues (in academia) asking me to correct their unindented (or very badly indented code) in Perl. You couldn't actually do that ion Python.

Sigils look ugly but they do offer you more information than languages without. Someone described them as a mini hungarian notation.

I moved from Perl to Python around 2011, mainly for Django. Perl is a more expressive, "cleverer" language. But I noticed when I moved to Python that I write better code. Too often in Perl I would try something clever and terse, t
