I prefer to get my information from books but there are some no BS programming YouYubers I like for example Low Level Learning.
Said that unless the topic is lighthearted I tend to steer away from likely clickbaity videos, when on YT I see content like
"Coding is dead"
"This one simple trick will make you much more productive" (obligatory thumbnail with a big green number like +186%)
"Gen Alpha is doomed" (obligatory thumbnail with Skidibi Toilet, TikTok and Fortnite)
I steer away because I know its very likely to be low quality slop -
@Demolishun you can even run your server offline, this way it doesn't call back to Mojang
-
Vite is not a front-end library
NextJS is basically React with battery included -
Snappy even on low end hardware, cheap to develop for (no need for a Mac or 1TB of RAM to run woth Android Studio), came with great apps (free Office suite and iffline navigation) and it pioneered many features which competition implemented only later. Windows Phone has all my respect.

@ostream That's a cool compromise 👍👍

@gymmerDeveloper Have you ever seen how farm life actually works? Animal and crops doesn't mnow what PRO is so its far from "unlimited time at your command"
-
@Lensflare Nowadays I rarely study frameworks but aim at more fundamental stuff like system programming, algorithms, methodologies, design patterns, stuff which doesn't change frequently.
-
Can't help for the time boundaries but for the other why don't you just use a laptop and put it away once you finished?

Looking at lolcows online and IRL

Medium is an absolute clown town, I miss when self hosting stuff was the standard and content farms weren't a thing.
-
@iiii I think about two specific retards
-
DevRant is better off being split in 2 or multiple apps: one for actual devs ranting and another one for culture war bullshit (it doesn't matter if left-wing or right-wing). Oh almost forgot, the second one already exists and its name is Twitter.

Do you work 16 hours/day? If not I don't see the issue on playing for some amount of time even in weekdays.
-
@msdsk I'm not a defender of capitalism but the current alternatives scares me: communism is cool... until you don't agree on what the leaders have planned for you.
-
@msdsk Still better than the "eco-communism" that "Extinction Rebellion" guys dreams about.

Fuck these hipster meditation apps, you can meditate with literally nothing and if you need some sounds/music/guidance you can get these for free or for cheap from the Internet. No need for another stupid subscription.

@mansur85 I can say the same for 3.5, one of my first professional projects was to migrate a codebase from 3.5 to Core 2.0 😁
-
My opinions about the various operating systems are the same as yours but unlike you I was an hardcore Windows fanboy for most of my relatively short life, I even learned OOP, regex and other key programming studying PowerShell. On the other hand the UNIX way of doing things always fascinated me but as a teen without access to actual IT education I always struggled to understand it trough the filters of cluttered Linux distros like Ubuntu.
It took my first job to see how UNIX command line made me more productive and how PowerShell is annoyingly slow and verbose.
Now I'm on macOS for professional reasons but my favorite system remains FreeBSD. -
I have a better prompt: why politics and all the division it creates cannot stay on fucking Twitter instead of infecting an online which should be about code and working on IT?
-
@hjk101 Medium and its tons of clickbait should be nuked from the orbit
-
@TeachMeCode Personally I tend to distrust any developer which puts "AI" in a laundry list like that. Any script kiddie can learn the basis on how to use an AI library in some hours but unless you have 48 hour days you can't be a real expert in AI and in DevOps and in SEO all together. It's even fan that she put "Git" at the beginning of the laundry list, at this point she could ever put "cd", "cp" and "rm".

@tw001 I wonder why in 2023 some companies still needs to learn how to have their software properly cleanup after itself
-
It takes a special kind of company for:
- developing a "low risk" project (business chat/VoIP software is around from the 90s, maybe even the 80s, there isn't much "cutting edge" stuff to invent)
- doing that with an high budget
- using Electron because it makes development faster (while making the software unbearably slow on a 2 years old computer but that's for another rant)
- still botching basic features like copy/paste and taking ages to fix -
@electrineer I run on Debian Stable, these are my most up-to-date references 😁
-
Not agree, I use both Neovim and Intellij but Vim integration is always a PITA due to the many shortcuts conflicts
-
A neighbor of mine feels entitled to my help enough to call my dad (knowing that this would make my dad angry at me eventually pushing me to answer him) if I'm too tired or busy to answer him.
-
I guess leaving most of us unemployed and forced to eat bugs and live in a pod because that's the only shit which can be afforded with a meager UBI.
-
16GB isn't bad at all for most stuff, most M1 Macs supported up to 16GB and I do a huge part of my job with a laptop with only 8GB.
For the rest I agree: tech blogging scene is 90% rehashed click-baity shit "8 incredible tricks which will make you 800235% more productive", "I asked ChatGPT how to wipe my ass", "how I want from 0 to 1000000$/month in three weeks" that's why I'm switching from social media feeds to an RSS feed made by an hand picked selection of blogs and sites. -
@oiledwheels before or later I hope to put my hands on a postmarketOS supported phone

I understand you, I loved the first 1.5 years of my IT job, then I was "body rented" to a big corp customer and I spent three years in an hell of bureocracy and slow management which prevented us to dimo our job. Luckily now the situation significantly improved.
