If it's your ssh server and it's single user you don't need to use the "git@" part at all. Just store the repo and access it with your account. The whole git@ thing is because most "forge" software is buil

So don't give them your phone number. Arguing against 2FA is like arguing that they shouldn't bash your password because it means you can't see your password to help remember it.

So, "spicy autocomplete is down, I can't do any work" is the new even more ridiculous "GitHub is down I can't do any work"? I'd laugh if this wasn't a depressing thought for this industry. Then again,

> leads me to a point where I can see that the issue is a simple fix with a couple lines of code. If you can see the problem, know how to fix it, and still ask spicy autocomplete to do it for you, that isn't "using a tool"

It's called a calendar entry. Not every life experience is some giant challenge waiting for a tech bro to create a dedicated fucking app.

With the way modern development often goes this essentially means using spicy autocomplete for code is a just a fast track to the cargo culted solutions of whatever day the model was trained.

Given that they literally changed the language to support the class keyword, I think we can safely assume it isn't just the beginners who never bothered to learn how prototypical inheritance works.

Wait till I tell those people we keep all our dependencies (js and backend) in our own git repo. Updating dependencies is a task a person does, followed by committing the changes to the repo. I am aware a lot of these ideas are heretical

Fair point. Let's compromise and say that whoever is responsible for involving (javascript|electron fields) in the display of a website, should each understand their respective field. I don't expect a physicist or even an electric

The problem I think is that the js community somehow thinks that being on npm is some bastion of good quality. Just as the cloud is simply someone else's computer, a package is just someone else's reinvented wheel. The problem is

I'm completely apathetic about spicy autocomplete for coding tasks and even I wonder which terrible code would be worse. The guy who wrote is even/odd was for ages using a specifically obscure method that made it slower than %2===

That's a good point, it's only been around for 30 years, and used on 95% of websites. It's not really popular enough for a developer to take an hour or two to read how it works.

The primary cause of JS bloat is assuming you need JS or that customers want whatever you're using it to provide. For $client we've taken a very minimal approach to JavaScript, particularly on customer facing pages. An upcoming fe

How you are "valuable" as the product is absolutely a relevant distinction to make. When the valuable part is data collection, you don't get a choice in how your user data is sold. When the valuable part is influencing opinio

If at this point you (where you may be a person or a company) still think relying on spicy autocomplete is a smart decision, I can't fucking help you, and you deserve whatever bad things happen to you. This is akin to saying "we a

Im not talking about an api. Im talking about an end user feature. Or are you telling me that chrome has a fucking video call client built in as well?

Proxies are protocol specific. A vpn is a network layer tunnel. Does your browser also include its own built in ip stack? Maybe it should have its own window system. DNS arguably would also be best left to the OS, yes.

This would be handy, but to be honest there's zero chance I'd use this if I can't self host the relay, and if you aren't hosting the relay $30 a month is steep for something that has no real feature growth

... you can't use JetBrains? What logic created a scenario where you can't use arguably the best range of cross platform IDEs, but you can somehow use spicy autocomplete to imitate some of their functionality, poorly?

IntelliJ platform (JetBrains IDEs) has this functionality out of the box without "AI" using regular code intelligence. If all your parameters are strings it may not work well I guess but if you're using types it works quite w
