I believe that in software development you can never be 'sure' that: a solution works, is the right one or even fixes a problem. You can merely be "confident enough".

Engineer your workflows to be as flexible as you can so that even if you were not sure, you can be confident enough that you can easily make changes, or even to raise your confidence before putting it in production.

15 years ago I did my myphpbusters talk, including lab coat. That was fun.

@Skoop 15 years ago???? Where does the time go

I was initially skeptical about using AI, but I've been pleasantly surprised at its ability to streamline my writing process. It's still my ideas and content, but AI has accelerated how I translate thoughts into words and share them with the world.

I think @Skoop hates me now, I just approached him as a Visual Designer to 'discuss' recent changes that didn't exactly fit in the original design 😇

Would anyone be interested in an extension to ux twig components that could import/generate components directly from Figma?

I have been playing with the API lately and this sounds cool to me, but I don't know if anyone else is waiting for this :)

Yesterday, we had to say goodbye to my aunt Johanna. Her laughter and joy were a beacon of light in the lives around her. Her spirit of joy will be a cherished memory in our family. 🕊️

I believe that one of the biggest positive changes I made when upping my skills is to adopt the naming conventions (https://en.bem.info/methodology/naming-convention/) and start thinking about my HTML structure in terms of blocks, elements and modifiers.

holy moley. I just disspelled a portal to hell. It was just an experiment, I had not expected this to work but it worked!

OK, I rolled a natural 20, that did help ;)

@Skoop it was still epic and I did not see that coming :D

I might just have submitted a talk on how to create good commit messages to a european PHP Conference 🙈

@heiglandreas "fixed it" is a perfect example, right? Right??

I'm not doing well.

Started journaling a little to figure some shit out. Why is life so complex?

@rskuipers Ah darn Rick.. That sounds tough.. 😞

Halp: I deleted my account and lost a lot of my old friends… who should I be following from the community here on Mastodon?

mvriel,
@mvriel@mastodon.social avatar

@f_u_e_n_t_e What I did (and still need to do more) is open the follower and following list of anyone you follow and start clicking on the follow button there :D

Still looking for usable software
It needs to be visual (no code) and able to handle rather big modules and submodules
Sometimes have the feeling I am the only that still uses

@dgoosens I use UML quite a bit, but usually using PlantUML or Mermaid.js because my docs are part of my codebase and upon building I render a static site from them.

Expecially mkdocs is nice as it has a 'watch' feature that re-renders the docs page locally while working on it.

After the first day of playing with UI Toolkit in : I recommend investing in how to setup "Templates"; these are quite nifty.

Though when you do, make sure to name every element in your template because properties in them are only overridable when they have a name.

Otherwise it is quite powerful so far, but more experimentation is needed on setting up more custom interactions

mvriel,
@mvriel@mastodon.social avatar

@SenseException Templates are specific to UI Toolkit and is basically a UI Component. It has it's own layout but if you use stylesheets it uses the styling from the stylesheet. Quite comparable with web, where you would have a React Component or Vue Template

D&D time this afternoon! We're in a pretty exciting and scary spot right now. Let's see how we get out of that

@heiglandreas @Skoop I'm not there, so Skoop probably survives ;)

@Skoop @heiglandreas Are you dead yet?

Got a birthday present from @ingewikkeldnet, and I received good reviews from my coworkers immediately. I'm definitely going to try it out this evening!

Left for work at the start of storm this morning. Head to get back home from the train station because took all trains in my province offline. Mandatory WFH it is :(

@mvriel@mastodon.social avatar

@wyri I had to cancel an on-site meeting as well. It's just not responsible to be on the road at the moment

@wyri Colleague in Purmerend had a power outage in 2 whole zipcode areas.. it's quite stormy :)

@wyri Not sure yet, colleague has loads of meetings to I expect them to be rather busy; even despite power outages

Wow, I think I have just been forced off Twitter..

I use tweetdeck and that has become paid-only in 30 days; AND you burn through the tweet limit fast enough that I can't use it anymore. Not to mention that when you refresh that you lost all the tweets that you could have read.

I must congratulate twitter on making me go to Mastodon full-time cold-turkey :D

mvriel,
@mvriel@mastodon.social avatar

@dgoosens yeah, Twitter has finally succeeded in forcing me off their platform.. because these limits are making it completely unusable, even without Tweetdeck going paid-only
