Can anyone recommend a plugin that does actual validation and rendering?

I've tried 5 so far and half don't work, the others produce spurious errors :/

(and one even bogged down my whole machine, even when no openapi docs were open)

@FunkyBob I've found the 42Crunch one pretty good for validation.

Dev with dev hat: We should make this behaviour a configuration setting instead of hard coding it.

Dev with devops hat: I want to manage my config as code.

@khalidabuhakmeh @santoshhari I should try them again I guess. I just don't like writing code that runs in some "magical" environment. Console apps are as close to "no magic" as you can get with .NET.

Of all the things I have seen “die” in programming since I started in 1998, the one I lament the most is the death of education and training. The grifters cashed in via scummy bootcamps and ripoff courses. Now search has been ruined for quarterly profits and folks are blindly trusting ChatGepetto to give them correct answers. It’s a fucking mess and the people who need to care won’t because they are contemptuous of us all.

@darrel_miller@mastodon.social avatar

@grmpyprogrammer I hear and feel your pain, and I mostly agree. However, from an educational standpoint, LLMs (using grounding content) provide a way for a learner to acquire knowledge in the way they want to, rather than the way the content author wanted to explain it. The Q&A style of learning you can do with an LLM can be very effective.

I know retro tech is big right now, but I never expected this kind of grassroots anti-TCP campaign!

@ramsey @sean There are some pretty bad memories that are deeply buried related to that. I just don't want to think to hard about it.

OAuth: "grant" vs "flow" vs "grant type"

https://aaronparecki.com/2024/03/29/3/oauth-terminology

"Is it called an OAuth 'grant' or a 'flow'? What about 'grant type'?" --

@darrel_miller@mastodon.social avatar

@mamund This kind of clarification is so important in the auth world. So many terms are used casually and cause confusion.

So, it may feel like I’m harping on a bit about JSR—the tech industry’s latest attempt to ‘fix’ the JavaScript ecosystem—but it kind of bugs me how little discussion there is about it

Like, it’s literally a proposal by a VC-funded startup to coopt existing infrastructure and the only comments I’m seeing online are “ooh, they put a lot of work into making it fast.”

There’s no discussion of what it’s for, whether it tells us anything about npm or how that can be improved.

darrel_miller,
@darrel_miller@mastodon.social avatar

@baldur I think the interesting thing about it is that it isn't trying to fix the JS ecosystem. It seems to be saying, let's build a TypeScript ecosystem and consider JS to be an implementation detail that devs don't need to think about. For teams that are "all in" on TypeScript I can see the appeal. I have no opinion on whether it is a good thing for the industry or not. However, while I too do not like influence of VCs, package mgrs cost a lot to run and OSS doesn't have a soln there

<TargetFrameworks> because detecting a semi-colon is not nearly as fun as returning "Sequence contains no matching element" to indicate that you are not allowed to provide a sequence.

@mhoye @anthrocypher Treat LOC numbers like aircraft designers treat weight of airframe parts. Less is literally better.

@anthrocypher @corycarson @mhoye Less weight is better on an aircraft until it isn't.
Low LOC as quality metric is about as useful as high LOC as a productivity metric.

@pdebruin Yeah, that was an added bonus. I guess there is a little bug somewhere. Either that or I just experienced a rip in the space-time continuum.

me: Hey handy little deployment tool. Could you deploy my tiny little test web api to my cloud paas platform?
tool: Sure. Let's put that in a container shall we
me: ok fine.
tool: Great let's get started. Oh, wait. You need to be running docker desktop
me: ok fine. Hold on.
tool: Excellent, let me build you a container for that 8 line WebAPI
.... 6mins of 100 CPU goes by....
tool: Ok, that's done, let's get some infrastructure deployed. Log analytics? Of course. Secret store? Gonna need that. ..

darrel_miller,
@darrel_miller@mastodon.social avatar

Container Registry. Yup. Some telemetry dashboards. Why not... And considering we have so much stuff, let's build a custom dashboard to manage all that stuff. Oh right, and let's actually deploy the container. You'll need an environment for that.
me: O_O
... 12 minutes ...
tool: And we're done. Awesome eh?
me: errr no.

darrel_miller,
@darrel_miller@mastodon.social avatar

@earth2marsh Nope. I don't think so. I want the default behavior to be the "simplest thing that works" and I want to explicitly opt into more features when I decide I am ready.

darrel_miller,
@darrel_miller@mastodon.social avatar

@blainsmith Yep. And what drives me nuts is that this isn't a tech problem in many cases. It is the product manager vision of let me show you all the amazing things that we can do for you with zero effort. But they don't understand the cognitive burden on developers and how disempowering it is to not be in control of the magic.

@secretgeek What method would you be? I think I would be a PATCH. It is flexible, but not wild a crazy flexible like a POST.
