🇬🇧 I have tried PHP. I find this programming language more embedding in html. They completely get so much. I can code in live html. 🤯
Hence my question, why continue to code in JavaScript if php can do the same things?🔴😅⚠️
🇨🇵 J'ai essayé PHP. Je trouve ce langage de programmation plus incorporant dans le html. Ils se complètement tellement. Je peux coder dans le html en direct. 🤯
D'où ma question, pourquoi continuer à coder en JavaScript si php peut faire les même choses ?🔴😅⚠️
Hey #dotnet folks, actually any #development folks, what do you think the “future" of software development practices and tools will look like in 5 years?
Is it possible to make file names display in full on narrow screens, rather than being truncated? If it takes 4 lines to display the whole file name, then I want the option of a multi-line display for each file.
@ianlhayes and I aren't the only ones looking for this, and only finding it (thus far) in #Obsidian.
What do you like to read for work or in your spare time? (That's related to your job or code more generally). Trying to get a list of content that's actually good and read by real people vs propped up by algorithms.
Send links if possible or give names of sites / blogs / creators.
Do you (a developer), when starting on a new feature, have a time box that magically scales to at least half a day, wherein you just stare at it while going "hmmm" before you even start?
Allegedly to plan, but as if by magic, you figure it all out right at the end of the slot of time (right before lunch / before going home)? Yet your brain does NOT let you skip this sacred staring-at-codebase time to the last 30 seconds of "let's just start here"?
A surprisingly common mistake people do when contributing to #OpenSource projects is to forget the (often required) sign-off on their commit, and then close the PR only to open a new one where the sign-off is included. This isn’t needed! Next time, just:
git commit --amend --signoff
git push --force
And your signoff will be added to the commit in your PR.
I'm as excited about the rumors of improved desktop modes and video out support for the Pixel 8 as the next guy, but we've fielded these kinds of rumors before.
Currently the only phone I have that can run an Android 14 beta, AND has video out, just did this using the desktop mode in Android dev settings.
Which is even more broken than the A13 desktop mode, which was already almost nonfunctional from the A12 mode.
I really WANT Google to give us a Pixel 8 with a proper desktop or tablet large screen mode, but I'm not getting my hopes up until we see the phone in action.
When I was a young Commodore-era game developer, C (without the ++ or # back then) was for wimps, and hardcore coders used Assembly, ditching the OS to have maximum available hardware resources. 👴
Unpopular #boomer#developer opinion: #GitHub actions “jobs” should only ever run the same #Make (insert your build system here) tasks or scripts that you run on your own machine. Using actions from the “marketplace” that do anything more than to fetch dependencies means you can’t easily reproduce what happens in those actions. And there is nothing* as repugnant in this field as pushing fake commits to GH in order to debug a failing action.
Before becoming a game developer, I worked in other areas of software development for about 15 years. This is all I read and this is about 5% of the books and topics I studied and used. But over time I became very exhausted. Started all over in the gaming industry. I have been working on the first game for the last 5 years
If I plan to do both various kinds of development (Swift, Node and maybe C++, Rust and/or Kotlin), what is the best way to set up a Mac for development?
XCode alone is my biggest confusion here. Not only are there many ways to install XCode itself, but many non-Swift developer tools seem to be dependent on either XCode itself or XCode Command Line tools.
For example, certain Node-projects that call into native code needs some kind of access to LLVM (as does Rust), and that is connected to XCode somehow.
I’ve got a fresh Mac (Mini M2 Pro) and I want to set it up in a clean way from the get go!
Does #Xcode ever randomly get rid of the “Quit" option for anyone else?
I've been working through a #SwiftUI course, and, about once per week, I'll reach a state where Xcode won't allow me to quit it, the menu option is grayed out, and I have to Force Quit it from the Task Manager.
Okay #askfedi, I'm a decent #PHP#developer, and kinda get the #OOP concept. However, I'm having trouble making the mental switch from procedural code. I end up writing static calls to classes... 😅
I work, on #WordPress and would love a good resource/course on making the final switch. I know there are times for each style, as they are just tools in the toolbox. But I want to be able to have my brain think in that manner.
I've seen some great posts, but they end up being quite terse for me.
