eldamir, 10 months ago to javascript

If anyone feels inclined to hear me cry about how #javascript #frameworks are the bane of my existence, and how I wish that the #webdev community would rely more on #webstandards rather than #shovelware from #bigtech; have a look at my #blog: https://botched-deployments.com/posts/js-frameworks

Would love to read your comment on my ramblings, whether you agree with me or not ❤️

Hi all #software folks 👋

When you do #UnitTest, how do you organise them in your code base?

I often find that I lose track of tests, and when I want to know “is this thing tested?”, then I don’t know where to start looking.

Sometimes I set a breakpoint in the thing and run all tests and see what hits the breakpoint, which is not smart.

When reviewing a PR for new stuff, I can look for added tests. But for changes to existing stuff, I don’t know where to find and check existing tests.

eldamir, 7 months ago to azure

Getting into working with #docker and #azure is proving painful thus far. I feel like almost zero of my prior experience is transferable. My time spent managing #linux and #windows servers in the past yields zero benefit. Sure, the Azure CLI is sane enough, because I know how to use the terminal.

Getting an overview of the Azure resources I need is horrible though. I need some 15 different services to get a simple multi-container app with storage and DB to run, and configuration is paaaaain 😣

eldamir, 6 months ago to dotnet

I feel like #TDD it’s a moving target for me working in a legacy code base. I am constantly pleasantly surprised when my tests save my skin and I can refactor things with some confidence. But writing the tests and writing them well is so hard, when there is no underlying design in the project to follow 😅

What’s a good place to go from zero to hero with TDD in #dotnet projects? Any reasonably priced courses or tutorials to recommend?

@ivory all these mastodon instances have custom emojis, but Ivory does not show them. I just see :emojiname: 😩
Anything I can do on my end? It is the only issue I have with your otherwise excellent app 👌

eldamir, 8 months ago to gamedev

#Unity3D waiving the new Runtime Fee if you use their ad services feels similar to thugs trashing your store an telling you that it will stop if you pay them “protection money”.
It is just plain extortion. Oh, you chose to create stuff with us? Well sorry, we’re going to have to ask you to bend over now, please

I've heard the term "webmentions", but not really cared about it before.
Then I read this post from @matthiasott (https://matthiasott.com/notes/best-comment-section-on-the-internet) followed by reading this post from @rowan (https://rowanmanning.com/posts/webmentions-for-your-static-site/).

Now I'm hooked... I gotta get that set up for my website. I currently use Giscuss, which is fine, but it is also limited to users wanting to sign in with Github to comment. Adding #webmentions would be something else 😍

What is a good hashtag to follow to hear about conversations from people who - like me - are sick of JavaScript frameworks, complexity merchants, and general praise for the spread of JS everywhere?

Not looking for vitriol, but rather critique on said topics and connection to the people who are fighting the nonsense

Damn, @maartenballiauw , even the Jetbrains AI Assistant has to defer to you to get the good solutions 😂

eldamir, 9 months ago to godot

Does #godot have a way to disable the script editor completely? I do C# in #rider, which is great, but the script editor keeps getting in my way. I just want the 2D and 3D views

Well, that was way worse than I had thought. Lots of stuff to study up on 😊

eldamir, 1 year ago to gamedev

I feel like #unity3d is circling the drain after getting stocklisted. Sure, they had problems delivering on promises and deprecated everything before new stuff was ready; but now with big layoffs, supporters not responding in time, draconian Software Store licensing, scams and IP theft, I’m not sure what is left to love about it anymore ☹️

I’m looking to #godot now more than ever, but I don’t know if it is ready for our business needs 🤔

eldamir, 10 months ago to random

I wrote a new little post on my blog with a colourful expression of bad communication between devs and their managers: https://botched-deployments.com/posts/the-cardboard-ship

I probably didn’t manage to drive the point home. But hey, still new to all this blogging. And I think my writing is getting better 😅

eldamir, 5 months ago to random

I need a #codereview for last years #AdventOfCode Day 9.

I feel like I’ve tested everything, so there must be some edge case, I’m not seeing.

It is simple C#, ready to pull and run, with xunit tests in place. My personal input, and the task description is in there as well, so everything is readily available for anyone to pick up and chime in 😊

Any help or hints would be much appreciated 🙏❤️

"The Excel file got too big and unwieldy, and now we need something else".

If only I got paid a fee every time I heard that phrase, I wouldn't need to work ever again

Finally took the jump and ordered a #SteamDeck. Now I’m watching the parcel tracking and hoping it’ll arrive by Friday, as I’ll be starting a week of vacation then. Would fit so nicely 👌

Why do SOAP APIs still exist? The tooling is so bad. They're impossible to deal with. This was not designed for humans. I am frustrated! 😂

eldamir, 6 months ago to random

Whenever I see "Launching Skeleton Generator" in #PyCharm, I have a mental image of a catapult throwing a machine that generates skeletons...

Bing image generator has a similar take on it:

Calling out #ChatGPT on its bullshit.

"This is totally real!"
"Is it though?"
"Nah, jk lol"

eldamir, 6 months ago to Software

As a #software #developer, I fight coupling every day. It has gotten to the point now that I only drive cars with automatic transmission, because then THERE IS NO COUPLING!

eldamir, 10 months ago to IT

Hey! Let's talk about #it and #software #developer #oops moments!

Here are my worst screw-ups so far: https://botched-deployments.com/posts/botched-deployments

Anyone care to share theirs? 🤣

eldamir, 10 months ago to random

Enjoying #blogging for 6 months now. Stop finding myself having a lot to say, but I’m also finding that a lot of it just sounds like me complaining. Valid criticisms and such, but certainly also just me using things wrong and then shifting blame 😅
I’m trying to change my perspective to be less complaining and more informative.
In that regard, although I hate to admit it, ChatGPT is actually pretty helpful for quick peer review, when I ask it to “Help me change the tone”.

eldamir, 4 months ago to django

Coming from #django, where I had one template partial for rendering forms, I am a bit stumped with #razorpages.

In Django, the template would loop over every field and make rendering decisions based on the type or attributes.

In Razor Pages, I can do something similar with custom attributes and looping over Model.GetType().GetProperties(), however, the asp-for tag helper that helps with model binding won’t work with a dynamic value. I must statically put Model.ThisProp 😭

eldamir, 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago) to Facebook

Here's the thing. My kids' #school posts news updates to #facebook. I don't want to be on #facebook. I'm on the #fediverse, and happy to be here.

I'm already using @birb for my #RSS reader here on Fediverse. Great.

I know Facebook is Facebook, and they won't give me sh*t unless I hand over my data, but I'm hoping I can subscribe to a the Facebook page through RSS or through some service that uses Facebook's API to turn it into RSS..

Anyone heard of such a thing?
