Eh, what's wrong with Rosetta Code? A metric ton of examples in a metric ton of languages. What's better about this one?

If your product can be built entirely by "t-shaped" people, it's not a complex product. The thing about experts is that they're experts, an expert is INCREDIBLY good at one particular thing. The idea of "t-shaped&qu

Sounds like a great project for you to learn a low level language, and some UX and GUI design at the same time. Game development is done in several languages and frameworks, so it's not a big deal what language you go with as long as y

Super clickbaity... The dude had been prohibited from owning a gun after domestic abuse against his girlfriend. He tried to buy one anyway and failed a background check. He bought gun parts and a 3D printer. Police heard him firing in the w

Before I click that link, what does it solve? What makes it different, better, than other admin template packs?

I made myself one of these a while back, but not as sleek looking. Nicely done :)

I've seen at least 4 or 5 posts about the VFEMail thing just today so I dinged this one when I saw it. No idea what's considered significant.

So many duplicated posts about this..

I know how it's done. Find a problem, solve it, charge for the solution. All you have to do is fill in the blanks :) It's not really tongue-in-cheek either, there are LOADS of books about this, but in the end it's all about

I'm the same. QBasic, GW Basic, Commodore 64, those were the big ones for me as a kid. Without them, I probably wouldn't be a programmer today.

Oh wow, that's a blast from the past! Had lots of fun with QBasic as a kid :)

I think so too, but my statement still stands. There's nothing new or especially special about "server side rendering", and nothing about React rendering either. Rendering on the server lets you do whatever you want. Want to

Yeah microservices is another one that suffers from the One Solution To Rule Them All mentality. They're GREAT when they're the right fit. Most websites aren't really a right fit and do fine with a classic webserver->DB se

I'm not talking about the bloat of the framework itself but the code you write to use the framework. When you have 2mb worth of "React code" and the framework itself only takes up 35.6kb, that's a lot of bloat.

SPA isn't automatically the best solution for a page or site with frequent updates. The updates are handled by JavaScript and http calls. You can write a lot of that stuff in a dozen lines of JQuery with nicely refreshing content and a

2mb html file, + whatever else for initial load? That's only 1-2 seconds on a fast connection. If you have zero of that content cached locally and are on a mobile or just not-fast connection it'll be way more than 1-2 seconds. You

How is this amazing? We've been "server side rendering" since the inception of the internet. If you build your pages with CSS at the top and JS at the bottom you're already achieving most of that effect right there, no e

There are two kinds of "Productive". There's my personal productivity, and there's the team/company productivity. When working on a team, you have to figure out what produces the best output for the team as a whole,

I have to say my experience tracks this too. A lot of the "modern" toolsets just aren't worth the extra fluff they add. Writing SPA's in React, Angular, etc. tend to result in a very heavy first page load, then api calls

This is a good article, highlighting what's going on. I like the show, I've no idea why people are so obsessed with throwing crap at her.

Except, of course, that the actual report has not been completed yet. The article has a single quote from a participant, and the rest is literally just opinion and thoughts. There's nothing to get excited about yet. It's going to
