I used to love Foundation, but it had too many bugs that weren't getting fixed. Now it looks dead :)

You're over-thinking it, dark-noodz. Truth is subjective, opinionated, and bears no relation to facts. It is an abstract concept that serves a lot of different emotional purposes - from manipulation by corporate windbags all the way ba

This might be Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome and not insomnia. I suffered from it for years and years before I was able to train myself into falling asleep. And then I suffered from sleep apnea for years and years before getting diagnosed and

I recommend learning JavaScript, not a framework to begin with, and especially not something that smurfs with the DOM paradigm as much as React does. Learning React will make you a React developer, not a Front End developer. Once you have a

Adapting the second novel might be a better choice, or some mixture of the two.

This is fine. In our situation we also kept a couple of summary tables in the regular database so we could track things that we commonly queried (like total visits per country, authenticated visits, etc. Before I left we also started tracki

Literally the only reason I pay for YT Premium is to get rid of ads. I don't use any other features of it - I just don't want ads. The modern web is so bad that premium services only need to be ad-free and I will pay. Make all the

I've never dived (dove? doven?) into the output of an HTML minimizer, but I assumed this was one of the things it would do - remove all optional tags while retaining the same DOM tree output.

You could do a custom WP plugin that provides a single page with everything they need. It doesn't have to be in the admin section, just a password-protected page. That way you stay with WP (which will likely be supported for many more

It varies, same as so many things :) You can concentrate on finding work within a narrow range where you feel expert in, or spread the net wider and take on work that lets you learn new things as well. You might have a lot of domain experie

Best of luck. I've been in this grind for about 35 years now, very similar history. Two suggestions that might help: * switch careers * freelance full-time If you have any other talents or fields of interest, try finding work

"Compostable" is correct :D React is what happens when you misunderstand the purpose (and principle) of web components, then double-down and encourage framework-related libraries to sprout up around it. React is what gets used by

Sorry, your site is unusable and largely unreadable without hardware acceleration - is that really necessary?

You wait until you line up something better. Or until you save enough to support your lifestyle for a year. Or until you decide to say "screw it" and live in a shack on a mountain near a stream until society smartens up.

The problem isn't limited to people learning frameworks instead of languages; I work with developers who don't know the network stack at all - no concept (beyond the bare basics) of how their code gets from a server to a browser a

Was this AI generated? It claims that JavaScript wasn't invented in the 1900's, but I'm pretty sure it was in browsers by the mid-90's.

Agreed. My company puts out terrible code that only mostly works. I was literally laughed at when I suggested we start documenting things and adding tests. This is a dev team of around 30 people who still have to site through a morning &quo

Why does this require WebGL and hardware acceleration in order to see anything but a large, blank space?

I'm not sure I ever understood this decision. Stories posted on FB (for example) generated clicks - this is good, and if the numbers in this story can be believed, accounted for 90% of the traffic to the news site. When the news sites

Mostly I just refer to it as `id`. The only time I'll explicitly use `guid` or `uuid` as a field/property name is if it's semantically important - which is almost never.

One company I work with is using ChatGPT to have email conversations with clients and booking appointments via API (including checking availability and rescheduling). It's pretty hard-coded at this point, but works well as long as GPT

Looks like a good start! But upgrade the presentation a bit. Your `title` tag is AdonisJS, which is definitely wrong, there are quite a few spelling issues, and you need more technical detail in places (eg. the comparison to Next.js at the

I built something along these lines - not quite this, though - years ago (then sold it and it disappeared - wtf). I should rebuild it again.

FP is used with OOP all the time, even if classes can let you easily break out of the paradigm. Shouldn't this be more about FP vs procedural programming?

Tabs - it's an accessibility feature. Even with large font sizes I have trouble reading code that's indented with 2 spaces, and 8 is just unreadably wide. This isn't word processing - everyone's IDE or environment is goi

Seems it would be more universal to highlight the current slide (section) and keep the others faded out a bit. It's still "unfinished" in a way, but it's also more obvious.
