Agreed, but sometimes a nice pen, and a paper makes the task more fun.

I find a clipboard is nicer than a notebook. Pen and a folded A5 works nice. I learned Gregg (or partly learned it). I do use my iphone and bluetooth headset to isolate. Phone stays in the pocket.

That delineation is all but gone in some apps. Elixir liveview for instance, has not concept of front or backend. It's all socket, so there's no break. I agreed it makes it harder in places. Like when I (as a be dev) have to write

100%.. tailwinds is a trendy way of adding inline style. I mean it's literally a 1 to 1 translation in most cases. I miss when css was css.

I was the same. Notes all through year 1 and 2 of university.. Less in year 3, I paid attention, and took part in class. I also recorded the lecture. My grades shot up. In year 4, I took minimal notes, and had my best year. It's like

I'd go a step further. Sometimes as a dev, there's no need to even understand the whole app. A Front-end dev doesn't need to know how the API level works and the API dev's don't need to know how the Dev-opts work.

If you measure download cost in time then sure.. If you measure download cost in terms of bytes downloaded, or server costs, then nope. The cost would be smaller to cache.

The include logic of include2.html missing everything else would also apply to all other includes. If a user clicked a link with src="include.css" then it'll be rubbish. It would be good for static data.. images, css, and sta

But that would apply to <header> and <footer> and <nav> too. We could cache them.

I've tried them, and say without a doubt, that I hate them. I've never even really been a fan of intellisence. I hated co-pilot, it kept guessing and then I ended up spending more time reading and altering.. It took me out of the

Yep years ago I was a palm-os dev and worked for cities. One government offical told us to switch to windows mobile, because "no one ever got fired buying microsoft"

God, the idea of microservices for humans is nightmare time. I work for a company that runs micorservices, and I can say I've spent days attempting to get everything running on my dev system. One upgrade and I can watch my whole day&#x

What I'm seeing is more and more web based systems. My kids school is completely browser based. Nothing is installed beyond the browser. Same for the teachers, it's all web based. That said, I love apple. Nothing else works like

What they likely mean is that MS says "Good luck enforcing this. Have you met our legal team?" Nothing they can't walk around, or drown you in legal fees while they smile.

I like the last bit. Hiring would be a nightmare. Most serious BE dev (myself included) don't have time to learn a new language that I can only use at a handful (or single company). I want the language I spend the most time with to be

I had a boss call me a tumbleweed dev (when I was much younger). I would clean up bits, but this would mean the QA had to re-test code that was already tested and in production. I never forgot that term, and now if it an't broke, I do

I had a job interview where I said almost exactly this.. I was shown a bit of code and asked how I'd improve it. I said I wouldn't touch it. When asked why not I answered. "I'd assume the dev who wrote it did so for a

Yeah that blows my mind. Of all places I'd not expect a cartoon to be. There are so many books kids could read. I don't see how a librarian can view a screen as anything they'd allow in their building. My kids daycare added

I loved this. Though I did start with the any book any time, I faltered later when they'd pick a graphic novel for 20$, that the'd finish in the car ride home. I had to stop.. It got too expensive. (great problem to have) I had to

Well.. it's sort of been done and then canned. Skype was peer to peer, which sort of blows my mind when it comes to slack, and how it was better tech than slack. Marketing eh.

Really, I'd rather see a lock option on bio-metrics. Use my right index finger and it unlocks. Use my thumb and it disables all bio-metrics. Since cops can make you press your finger to the pad (in the US and a few other places), mak

I know this is bad, but as a Canadian I find I smile at things like this. I remember family members losing jobs because of lumber tariffs that were deemed illegal according to trade deals, but still happened. The idea that the US is sort o

If you've lost a kid, or can't have kids, it's a daily reminder. But also it's just annoying. In some apps it's remembering what the heck you set the password to.

Would be an easy thing to add. We always have to reach for the remote and look at what the parental control password is for amazon. My kids are old enough that most things are fine. The sentence "I am that guy" means something. Th

My 15year old can quote it. Their teacher said something the other day, and she replied from the movie. They both laughed, but the rest of the class (apparently) all looked confused. I was very proud. Same thing happened with a FleetwoodMa

Yeah.. I'm starting a LIT-RPG style blog for my personal growth. Skills/attributes tied to personal goals. Spirit as it relates to learning guitar (for instance), Mana as it relates to tech skills. Right now it's all a flat

Sure, but their standards, and what they support aren't even something you can look up. As a JS dev these are the stuff of nightmares.
