I'm neither a teen nor hate Twitter. Though I'm taking a Twitter break as fighting Brexit is tough on mental health
-
Nope, we leave that to the lead dev, who fucks up as frequently as we do
-
Possibly an expo app and left over the air updates enabled without realising then published changes for beta tests but did so on the default channel so updates the production app too. Not speaking from experience at all... 🤥🤥🤥
Ok, being honest, it was the lead dev and his first expo app, brought me on board later. Also my first expo app. -
@netikras it's a shared password vault across the company. The entire vault is encrypted at rest and the user is signed out after a minute of inactivity.
-
@netikras nope, all randomly generated and stored in the password manager
-
PS. Lead dev, other devs, and company director were present. I was immediately shouted down by the lead dev. Fortunately the whole office is chill as fuck.

@ivoecpereira That's the thing though, because Flickr doesn't allow custom callback names I'm not required to as I created the function expression with the function name Flickr expects and the callback still fires. I did add the callback parameter and still get the same error.
Not to worry, I'm now making faster progress building the app in Vue instead. -
Well I know I'm a newbie to Angular but I'm currently struggling to do a simple JSONP subscribe! I was loving it until I came across this issue

Hmm, well I have really inherited a mess from my predecessor.
Sending several email marketing campaigns a week and he simply copied a huge HTML file and rewrote it every time. I've begun converting templates into Foundation for emails templates.
We host several websites for our own in house brands. They need to be updated by non technical types so a mixture of WordPress and Joomla is their preferred method. I've recently discovered Statamic which I will be building all their marketing sites on in the future if they're willing to spend the money on the licensing. If not I'll probably just quit and run.
My personal preference of VCS is git hosted by bitbucket. We're only a small dev team so that would be free to use, plus can hook in easily to Jira which would only be $10 self-hosted.
I just need to convince them to buy me a decent PC with PhpStorm and a version of Photoshop and Illustrator newer than CS4! -
In what way could I improve upon how I run things?
Could you elaborate on your past experience please? -
@xroad Yup, just try drawing a shape over a photo, then later getting told to make the shape larger without losing quality :'(
-
Or (just a suggestion) a little hat tip to the developers on the network "brainfuck.com"

I did this last year and decided to go and get my first eye test (I'm 32). Spent £200 on a pair of prescription glasses. Later I started drinking more water and my eyesight improved... smh
-
A compromise... Suggest they create a Wordpress site on a sub-domain and read the RSS feed rendering it in ReactJS. Everybody wins! :D
-
Steve Wilhite was a bit of a gackass when he started the whole drama.
-
Besides it's recommended to run the app in a similar development stack locally as intended on production. Unless, are you intending to run the app in production on a Windows server?
-
Looks like a Microsoft issue 😂
Nah, on a serious note, Laravel is awesome and it's easily setup when developing on unix based environments. When I used to have a Windows PC, before upgrading to Ubuntu, I installed virtual box and and shared the directory of the Laravel app between the guest and host environment. -
Functionality to edit your own rants and comments are apparently coming in the next release, as well as a few other often requested features.
-
No, myself and half of my colleagues aren't. Surprisingly not heard of anyone falling down a hole yet due to lack of attention.
-
@rozzzly no worries, I already have an account with bitbucket and will follow your advice of creating a repo and start versioning the docs.
-
@Jumpshot44 I'm sure they'll be some rants about it in the near future, although hopefully minimal actual rant rants.
When the time is right I'll deploy a marketing website and share the link on here 😉 -
@rozzzly github charge for even one private repo. It's bitbucket that has unlimited private repos for free.
-
@sheeponmeth let's just say it's one of the many projects friends and family have come to me with over the years, but this one has stuck out and really got me excited with regards to the potential.
I've done the numbers and there's an abundance of potential, providing I don't fuck it up. So much potential that I'm not going to release the idea into public space just yet. -
@sheeponmeth its so top secret that I've got it sitting above my desk drawer that's labelled Top Secret.
Super Top Secret -
I won't believe everything I read on the interwebs. Good advice from King Henry VIII.

Damn you evil!! 😈
-
1) enterprises judge quality based upon how expensive the solution is compared with competitors, at least partially anyway.
2) they get used to a UI and look at new features or layout options with fear, that normal people would consider to be awesome. -
@tytho I doubt my clients would go for that option. They're old and part of big corporation that only knows how to use Microsoft office.
Maybe a collaborative and versioning online writing tool would be a way to go though. -
@Jumpshot44 nope and my senior manager is worried they'd start bleeting on about having a CMS.
