@eldamir I have too much fun building my own frameworks to use the “big tech” ones. :-) Srsly, I’m not joking. Having the confidence to get rid of dependencies and create “mini-frameworks” specific to the needs of each project has opened a new world of software development to me
@kixxauth that’s easily the best part of coding. Not just flying together other peoples code and writing boilerplate, but actually designing meaningful abstractions that improve the project. Good for you 🥳❤️
Know the feeling when you hear or see a #meme so #cursed that you have a hard time shaking it off? A colleague of mine shared this video, and I can't shake how incredibly #cursed it is.
Today, I wasted 2 hours debugging what I thought was very odd behaviour in #csharp until I learned that async Task and async void are two very different things, and now I am very angry about async void. Was about to ban its usage entirely, but this SO article was helpful in explaining how it can be useful and not just a foot-gun
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..
Seems like it may do the trick, although I may have to shell out a bit of money for the service. I guess that is better than handing over my data to #meta though
It is so odd how the internet has shifted from educated people doing scientific wonders, to a bunch of tech bros yammering on and on about how #ai will solve every human crisis, while all evidence seems to be to the contrary.
Everyone distracted by the flashy new toy, while the world burns down around us
