Name a more iconic duo than web developers on help sites and having pissing contests over which modules they use instead of actually answering the question!
I've been a web dev/server admin for all of about a month now, and only known PHP for about a week of that, and the one thing really that grates on me isn't PHP's odd function naming inconsistencies or at times outright trash documentation, it's the other developers who, when asked a fairly straightforward question about why a mysqli function won't return something, demand you use PDO instead.
Please. I'm running a LEMP stack on a Raspberry Pi here, I'm trying to keep dependencies to an absolute minimum because the SD card is tiny, the Pi will catch on fire if it runs any hotter, and more dependencies are more potential points of failure. Just answer the damn question. I'm not going to install PDO for something I know I can do anyway just because it makes my code look slightly prettier.
Honourable mention to all you Node.js developers out there too, with your thousands of useless npm dependencies. I salute you.8 -
How should I name NPM package which works as console log for errors, but throws user to stack overflow page with error massage included in the link?
Found a meme here at DevRant in which this idea was presented, haha.14 -
How would you name a scoped npm package?
I have a bootstrap theme and a package with angular components. The angular components package is the main feature of the library.
My proposals:
bootstrap-theme - @bla/theme
angular-components - @bla/bla | @bla/ngx | @bla/ngx-bla
or something else?
I need help.3
