I'm at a Full Microsoft dev shop and use Azure every day. It's a really awesome cloud service but has a steep learning curve and still uses a blade style UI which reminds me of Xbox 360...if you can get over that, it's a really powerful and very modular cloud platform.

VS Code has a fantastic set of extensions that make working with Azure pretty straightforward. I use blob storage heavily for static site hosting and Azure functions for "serverless" functions to power most of them. Super lean.

One, big, glaring fucking flaw however is no migration of one DevOps Organization's Projects to another keeping all data intact, doing this is hell and still has no official answer from Microsoft. So planning your organizations approach to code storage and which repo goes where is super important for permissions and moving data later.

@12bitfloat oh.. Must of glossed over that point.

Hes correct then that you do NOT want inline source maps for production, that is a performance hit that can be avoided.

Ideally, provide separate .map files so they only load when someone pops inspector open.

This is a great article that helped me with this issue using webpack as part of my build pipeline.

Yes, typically I'd say you want sourcemaps for prod.

Maps only download when you open inspector. They are for you to debug prod code that is minified or whatever you do in your pipe because it's production.

The added load/slight performance hit usually outweighs the lack of not being able to debug a prod issue.

We disable them for dev and only build them for production (dev is typically unminified so no need, makes local builds faster when doing development).

@bahua that's what they called themselves... So, respecting their title.

What. The... 😱😱

Your welcome.

Want to scare your PM's have this up on your monitor 🤣 full screen and type real fast.....

I just picked up a Corsair K55 and find it the best all around keyboard for work. 3 other Devs at my shop grabbed it after typing on mine. Best key press with a membrane for cherry mx key types. Makes for a buttery smooth typing experience. Super responsive with no clicky that can annoy coworkers. While I have the more high end Corsair k70 rapid-fire for gaming at home this entry level k55 is perfect for everyday dev work and the 6 macro keys are nice to remap for Vim or whatever you like!

Also, LED colour always makes you a better developer. See what your pressing during those late night code sessions. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise. 😂😂

@erandria It's a blade based navigation design dashboard so, if you didn't like the Xbox360 UI then your gonna have a bad time in Azure. 😂😂

Certbot changed the game.

So easy. So convenient.

The only good "open" concept is open-source. 😄

I've used all 3 at different dev shops and they're all the same at the end of the day. They can all do the task you need it's who's UI makes more sense to you and cost.

What makes or breaks it for me is how easy is a service to use/setup. My current shop I'm at is on Azure (we are a Microsoft .NET shop) and I find Azure more robust than it needs to be. Due to the size of these platforms I'm rarely spinning up resources here for non enterprise level clients.

As others mentioned my go to is also DigitalOcean, Heroku and Netlify but I use Buddy.Works a lot along side them to automate CI/CD processes across all types of hosting setups. Highly recommend B.W if you got some more complex pipelines to string together.

@Humanoid- do you have an example on how you use Trello with a client for a project? Are all todo tasks individual Trello items and it becomes your Kanban board, essentially?

@M1sf3t thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out.

😭😭😭

@spongessuck so are people "volentold" they have to do it? How does order of rotation work if you don't mind me asking?

@frickerg thanks for the recos! I'll check these out.

The clean coder is awesome. Must read for any dev for sure.

@odite that's cool!!

@Stuxnet I'll check it out! Got a link?

Because sometimes you need to sell your awesome ideas to others. Convincing them gets buy-in and that's how you get to code the cool stuff.

Being able to sell you/your teams work, it's merits and how it helps the business goes a long way for a development team.

It's not all about code. I really wish it was, but it's not.

@PaperTrail Yup. Totally fair point. Usually I gauge the room beforehand but ...

@VaderNT that would be nice. :) I can dream ...

Have a list of frameworks, make sure half of them are Pokemon.

Ask your potental recruiter which ones are real and which are Pokemon.

You'll be surprised ... "Gotta spot 'em all!"

@Parzi Hmm, well I don't have any special setup with Gmail or Outlook apps. Other apps work passing email through no problem...

@Floydian wanted to email support of this app, Picniic but this is what I get everytime I tap the contact us button. Thankfully it shows the email so I can still make a support email manually myself but it's ironic to me that their only support link is "broken".

@thatsnotnice great tips!! Will keep that in mind.

After 3 or 4 hours of being at the computer my back aches. Fixing the issue was a combination of things, getting a solid gaming chair with lower lumbar support, getting a sit/standing desk, and taking a break to walk or stretch about every two hours.

Investing in a solid chair is key so make sure you budget and do some solid research on what you want and then try them out at a computer store.
