just found out about GraphQL this week in some deep R&D sessions. Sooo are we just trying to entirely automate server side now? I mean I've got strapi for API point/click creation with GraphQL installed so I've gotten the entire POC out the door without a line written server side. That seems remarkable and pretty disappointing at the same time.

Gained access to a fortune 500 companies "naughty word" filter table. Everything from "bootie wootie" to "comshot". And some sad soul had to put in all 30,000 of these entries

Let your front end carry the weight. Progressive web apps aren't made off of server heavy, request tangled interfaces. Let the client's computer handle the load thats not necessary on the server.

Ahh shit my company is crafting me into a system admin! Is this good or bad. It has been a point of weakness in my career that needs worked on to achieve well rounding. But AWS, fuuuuuck its too much to understand.

16 yrs old. KFC. School all day, fried chicken all night. Had to debone chicken for hours cause that’s what they put in your mashed potato bowels. It made me realize very quickly that my destiny belonged at a desk vaping, eating kfc and writing code

Pitching my first app on a headless CMS. Cut that backend time in half. Bumped front end time up 7 hours and whatcha know we’re building CMS/react stacks in 60 hours

I’ve thought it over a lot lately and I’m not sure if I see any purpose to Wordpress and drupal any more with the introduction of headless CMSs (cms with a detachable backend allowing for a devs choice in front end consumption) . They have plugins, Seo grading, analytics, etc. with the two big players ( drupal and Wordpress) I find myself building out my site according to their template’s standards. Pretty soon you become a Wordpress or drup templating expert instead of a front end expert because modern front end architectures not on these old CMS’s agendas. Rather it’s a js spa front end or plain html with jquery or a http client, devs working with CMSs need to work in an environment that keeps them current with front end standards and backend consumption. On top of that being my primary reason, from a business point of view this allows for all of the conveniences of separating front end and backend code bases (also the headless CMSs allow for use with front end as one codebase by utilizing proxies). You can then separate priorities by team or individuals more particularly. You can outsource work on your front end/backend according to priority. You can scale each one according to its needs and most importantly. Your front end can be entirely replaced in the future when your front end base has met its expiration for whatever reasons that might be. That alone might be the most important factor in this argument. I’m convinced headless CMSs are the future of agency work and many other approaches.

Why try an pursue this start up dream of building the next game changing app if you cant put down more then 30k on it? You'll fork out 300k on the market any day as chump change but cant put your money where your mouth is when it comes to your own ideas! Come back to talk when your serious. Is are field truly though to be valued so little ?

Drupal Starter Kit:
- .class:after:{ content: "text" }
- early 2000s site architecture
- a desire to work on dying CMSs
- lack of care for a customers long standing relationship

As a developer the only way I know how to spend my lunch is by lifting weights until I’m nearly crying blood. All the sitting, contemplating, reading and collaborating tunnels me directly into a toxic pit of my own compulsive disorders. By 12 pm I am near ready to put my fist through my cheap cubicle siding, squeeze my rubber duck till its head pops off (no pun intended I swear, stop it!) and more then anything ready to find Brendan eich, wherever he resides and beat him over the head with my new MacBook that would equate to smacking him with a plastic ruler. However, After screaming my way through a self deprecating hour of of lifting weights my mind is restored and all is made right in the world. Eich goes back to being the 10 day genius behind the language that’s redefining my career field and my alcoholic colleagues become more then tolerable. Some people take a pill. This is my pill.

Deploying rails to Ubuntu is a bitch and a half

Enough with this “I’m a full stack web developer but I find JavaScript to hard and demanding to keep up with”. Unless your using typescript which is still remarkably close, half or more of your job will be JavaScript. And sorry but it’s only growing and latching on to everything. It’s a bad time for you refuse to learn it.

Doing an app for a company owned by Berkshire Hathaway. So when asked I can say “I’m doing an app for warren buffet”. Yeeeeeep guess you could say I’m pretty important 😂

Month into a project and I can’t decide between mongo and MySQL. I’m using an ORM so I can still have this debate but deeper in I’m going to need some Manuel queries and I really need whatever reads the fastest. I was told mongos selects are much quicker but an article I read this morning said differ.
Advice?

“Please post under joke/meme”, “please post under question”. “Please don’t post as rant”

But then you wouldn’t see my joke/question? 🥺

Imagine this. You get on the treadmill next to some highly attractive women. Your a giant nerd and subconsciously put your phone on the treadmill and put on code train while you walk. She looks down at your phone and sees a flamboyant man riding a train through clouds and rainbows 🌈. Stops her treadmill, gets off and moves three treadmills down

Anyone here use sequelize and is it suitable for production?

I hoped never to see this on my toolbar

Thought I would continue working on the application that is due in 6 months. Instead I've been pulled off to look at a ruby application. Ive never even looked at ruby code. Ive never worked with anything of the similar syntax. "it aint no motherfucking ballpark either"

“Php dev” implies you are a Wordpress specialist. I hate that notion!

new coding standard. If you see jerry, you've gone too far

When did front end development become so much more difficult than server side? Code splitting, Server side SPA rendering, message brokering?!?! Just when i feel like ive gotten a hang on vue/react concepts, theres another 12 concepts that are "must havs". Enough of it all.

Via my last bosse’s methodology: estimate optimistically. Go back over 3 times reducing as needed. Once you’ve got that golden number that you feel it would take in a perfect world where SPA exceptions make sense and php rocks, the double it. That’s how long it’ll take. If the actual time to develop is half what was estimated then we’d often refund those hours as good will which was nice.

the questions not "how to make an express app" but "how to structure an express app". Here a whole bunch of cool plug and play utilities to build an api. Also heres a generator that generates 5 files and 2 directories for you. If you need help we have 5 pages of documentation.

Has anyone used sails.js ? Any strong-suites and/or pitfalls I should be aware of going in?

Blown away by how unbelievably hard javascript is becoming today. I told the junior dev "you'll love this stack. Its all javascript and with being simple as hell to pick up". Then I sat back and peered over my mountain of reducer logic and react component piecing and realized nothing I have written to halfway eligible to someone who is not to date with today's javascript standards. This language is becoming more and more hell by the framework.

We’re giving you a project that would take three senior devs 2 years to perfect. We need working software in 6 months. Client just signed. First payments been made, they’re presenting to stakeholders in September. Jeeeeeeeeeeeez today’s my first day on

Too low level for too long. As a web developer I’ve carried hardly any knowledge of data structures with me that I wouldn’t have been able to easily pick up the first year on the job. In microservices we don’t refer to anything as multicast gossiping nodes. I’ll never write a doubly linked list. The CS path and the actual field don’t align well. Was not able to carry much with me or apply it. I will say the SQL class was useful but it’s nothing I couldn’t have downloaded off udemy
