what a strange hill to choose to die on. what would be different if composer came bundled with the PHP runtime?

I'm leading my team through a migration to Nix environments right now, and everything you've said has rung true to my own experiences so far. I'd love to hear more about the hard lessons you've learned, if you have any t

I’m already dreaming of a near silent M1 Mac Mini server rack for my closet..

this is incredible, congratulations to everyone involved in making this happen. there's already instructions for a NixOS install, too[1] [1]: https://github.com/tpwrules/nixos-m1/blob/main/docs/

you’re over thinking it. parent comment is rooted in respecting your coworkers, not being some subservient drone who doesn’t add anything to the conversation. coming in and saying “we did this at my last company” provides no room for learni

I don’t mean this hostilely; social conventions are typically based on etiquettes, so in trying to follow the conventions of an existing medium of communication you are failing at basic etiquette of a new one. it’s all about being considera

are you suggesting they wait for the conflict in Ukraine to resolve before making announcements? your comment sounds paranoid.

my caldigit dock “works perfectly”. it consistently requires plug and unplug, opening laptop lid to unlock then unplugging and waiting and replugging then closing laptop lid, trying different usb-c port, and having to reboot to support high

I don't know what it is, but it feels like the JS tooling community so often pretends that the rest of the world does not exist in their marketing. I find myself having to dig into docs or the GitHub repo before I figure out what langu

I'm not sure why you're downvoted so much -- I am all in on Nix. I use it professionally. I agree with you 100%. I'm convinced whoever solves the UX issue of Nix will have the next "big thing" on their hands. I hope

maybe that’s it; maybe it kind of sits in the middle where it tries to please everyone and ends up pleasing no one. not a great functional language, but functional enough to confuse you if you’ve never done functional and are expecting JSON

by n42 5y ago
you’re right. I guess I should qualify that with: what makes the language more difficult to approach as a newcomer. once you’re in there, there’s a ton of warts, of course. I just hear complaints about the syntax so much that it really seem

I don’t want to be dismissive. “nix but with yaml” is kind of like saying “rust but without borrow checking”. if you think you can approximate what Nix is capable of with YAML and be less complicated, I think you’ve missed the point. what m

hello, I am in a growth phase startup and have been here since the early days. I am speaking from experience about a specific type of company and codebase. if you’re planning to scale a team and a company, do not do this. stick to Laravel.

it's not that. it's the marriage of top down OKRs, politics driven performance reviews, and a seemingly unbounded pay scale

this is such an infuriating user experience. no, I did not mean, that’s why I typed it, damn it! I think they’ve even started ignoring my quoted search terms!

well, you lost interest because it wasn’t what you expected, which is good, because it is not what you expected. I’m not sure who swaps their desktop environment with a windowing manager without reading the manual, but it’s certainly not pr

like the sibling comment said, web apps are written in Symfony/Laravel, but the framework abstractions with web apps might not paint you a clear picture of how the core language has improved. it will give you a good idea what it's

Phabricator is not written in "modern PHP", so your experience is not surprising

this comment was a great reminder of the level of discourse I should expect on the internet.. what the OP meant was “I don’t see myself using it”, but they instead projected their limited world view as prophetic. hate to break it, but if we

Next's router is the only thing that holds me back from fully embracing it. It sucks that I have to give up every other awesome thing the framework offers when I have a project that does not fit with their router. Hoping something chan

unfounded claims aside, $5000 on an office chair sounds like a startup to me :)

I agree, this is very on point. It's hard to take the "DRY everything" out of a junior (catchy acronyms get the best of them); I will lean on this.
