@Wack Thanks, I'll look at adding those!

I've considered statistics but unfortunately the stack isn't really capable of it. It's a static site deployed to GitHub Pages, so I guess I'd need to incorporate some back-end with database. Perhaps a Google Cloud Platform app 🤔

@Marl3x Awesome, thanks! Let me know if you can think of any more tools to go on, the list hasn't been updated for a while but I'm going to add more soon

Blessed are the JavaScript developers.

@dfox Ah! I was on web, which explains why I couldn't find anything. Cheers 😀

@Lukas I did, but I hadn't opened the app and was just using web. @dfox just explained that though! 😊

This, since I was about 12... (literally)

Unfortunately when people depend on you they'll hardly ever see how much work you put in for them. However, they'll never forget it when you fail them. I think the best thing to do is to just carry on with things. If she doesn't understand that you were trying to help, it's probably not worth trying to reason and explain. Life goes on - there will be good times and bad times and we have no control over it 😊

I'm surprised no-one picked up on the 'NodeJS as a language' thing again... 😊

@iwakirinko That could work quite well, although what happens if they need to send one back? (the 'exchange' point from OP) - that won't be simple for non tech-savvy users?

@Moicanos I'd weigh up whether it would be better for your skills/sanity to leave, or try and get it all fixed and then have more to show off (i.e. be able to show your boss you fixed loads of stuff (also show the benefit of added security with hashed passwords etc.), then you can ask for more money! 😀

@Defi4NT It makes sense really - there is actually nothing for me to lose, but the gain could be tremendous. I'll have to get working on it. Thanks 😃

@Jumpshot44 Partially confidence to do it, and also time and priorities (the idea's users would be businesses, which need support 24/7, which I couldn't always provide) :/

Unfortunately a lot of tutorials don't focus on one thing, and it can really dissuade new people. After reading lots of tutorials you end up with an extra skill of being able to ignore these extra frameworks and irrelevant code. It's worth it in the end though 😀

It's not specialised for HD video (any more than Dropbox anyway), but how about Google Drive? When people play the video, it'll use the YouTube video UI, so should look quite familiar to them or at least be quite easy to use. Also extra space is quite cheap and sharing is really easy

@Moicanos But surely the actual password shouldn't be logged?

I'd just like to mention that the image is incredibly generic - those files are in every installation of WordPress, so there's no evidence that it's your site... I'd relax if I were you 😄

You might need to ask for some actual proof of it being your site, unless that has already been provided?

Yep, and then realise I have nothing to fall back on and get working again... :D

@danner26 I suggested AMD just because they can give a decent level of performance for a much better price tag (I use an FX-8350, and it definitely does the job). Same with SSDs - EVOs are a tad bit more expensive than ADATA, and while I've never used an ADATA drive personally, they seem to be decent for the price

I do agree though - anything half decent with an SSD will fly 😄

I would highly recommend an SSD (Samsung EVOs are good, although ADATA are a cheaper and decent quality alternative). Any decent CPU will do you good, such as an Intel Core i5 or an AMD FX-line (or better).

Other than that, a decently priced motherboard and some good RAM (Corsair or Kingston) and you'll be all set! 😀

@ingenioushax Yeah, and if we make it really easy for women to get into the field (e.g. grants), then men don't get as much chance and it becomes unfair. It would be better to just make it completely even and let everyone decide for themselves where they want to go, I reckon

But how do you know there are <20 female developers here?

Just got my first mechanical keyboard (Corsair K95) and I have to say it's absolutely brilliant!
As for switches, the K95 has Cherry MX Reds, and they're a bit strange at first because they're linear (no bump in force), but you'd be best off finding a shop that has some and trying then all out 😊

And I imagine it's difficult for actual devs to get access to the server at all...

I hate it when the wrong person gets credit 😔

I feel sorry for you

I wouldn't say unprofessional, but definitely sounds more complicated than it needs to be. It's going to make debugging and probably even development hard at times

We should make this rant a sticky... ;)

But at least it's a tidier way to keep their stuff off the internet...

I used to hate arrow functions too, but it's incredibly useful to learn how to use them. They're handy because each new function() call creates a new scope for the 'this' variable, however arrow functions preserve the scope.

It will help if you do a lot of OOP-style JS and constantly have to do 'var self = 'this'.

MDN have a good article on it - it's worth reading 😊

Where do you get all these stickers?! I'd love to build a collection like this 😀

@stardust That would be fine, but if you don't have a build chain setup it's a pain to get running...
