When you receive a merit increase...check the web and still slightly underpaid for your position.....

Wondering if I should say something....

'I have no idea how Ajax or jQuery works so let me just add this if statement to re-add the form to the page so no one knows how much I don't know' I deal with this legacy bullshit every day...I DUNNO BRO MAYBE IF YOU USED A RESULT SELECTOR INSTEAD OF THE WHOLE PAGE FOR YOUR....RESULTS?!?!?!?! FUCK YOU

Just bought my first Raspberry Pi! Beyond excited to get my hands on it (haven't built a "computer" in decades...damn..I'm old).

Goal: Attach some RF receivers/transmitters to it and be able to control my window ACs from a simple web hook / IFTTT

Guys...guys...he's a web developer...he got this....

At what point can you say you are experienced in x language?

I am consistently looking up function definitions and ... how to... for languages I worked with for years.

I'm not talking like 'how do I loop through data from a database' but something like 'which param goes where for this function'

Curious

Friend is wondering if he is a copy/paste dev... :/

Vue vs React...

Which one do you guys use or like better?

I'm been dabbling in Vue and like it so far...just wondering if I'm putting myself in a pigeon hole against a 'more widely adopted and stable' framework

Angular....meh....

Ughhh help :/

I have a server running 3 sites and lately it's been slow AF. One day last week simple API calls were timing out (file_get_contents and cURL).

This led two of the 3 sites to become iffy. My monitoring service never pinged me that the server was unresponsive so I went into patch mode. After looking at my slow log, all network calls were just...timing out. We were no where near max connections and as I said the one site was still good.

I setup a simple test to file_get_contents a 1.1KB file from a reliable source. It was very intermittent in it would load then after a couple refreshes time out...rinse and repeat.

At this point I asked our hosting provider if something is going on to which they replied no but I pressed on. I see that they copied some logs and the network calls were magically better 6 hours later and have continued to be.

WTF could have been going on. This is infuriating and destroying me.

Typical LEMP stack

MySQL is freaking and keeps restarting :(

Production server "Error establishing database connection"

Tis was the night before Christmas

Not a creature was stirring
EXCEPT THE BUG IN MY SOURCE
🎅😡

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

When the service, platform or plugin is bought then the requirements as to why "we" bought it are created....WHAT ON EARTH COULD GO WRONG!??!!!!

I'm literally now going to be using their API, building a UI and feeding it back into our system where if they had someone who actually knew what we're trying to accomplish could have been done with some database tables............

I hate that mentality 'We need X oh look Company Y does it and look at their UI and features!...lets buy it...oh we also need A,B,C,D...thats ok bring in a dev he'll do it their Sales Guy says it can be done....

....coulda given you X,A,B,C and D if I was involved from the beginning, cheaper and quicker. But I digress here's the world's biggest bandaid.

Why can't I wrap my head around laravel enough to build an authentication system I've built before 😖😡😠

External Login Service and my app would be an OAuth2 client receiving an id token...and no there isn't a third party integration for this login service
