I am so confused by why this is even being compared. WordPress is a fully operational CMS with almost everything provided. React is a JavaScript framework for building components with state which can build websites (providing you also write a CMS and API...), this sounds more like a "can we get the client to pay for us to use the new shiny tool"

Why would you want it to?
The interface is the contract that the implementation should adhere to

@kb88 they don't need to know html, you can get decent markdown editors which look WYSIWYG but without all of the shitty html (just strip out any actual tags)

Swap WYSIWYG for a markdown editor, much better parsing :)

Keep your code in separate chunks and use esi tags to render them, that way you can cache them all separately with Varnish or something :) follow SRP where possible

I've moved to similar at home, using a 32" monitor helps though

Drop me a line if you wanna discuss Docker. Doing volume mounting from local to cloud is bad imo, just an extra resource to worry about!

First every time, the else block is just useless confusion

Am I the only one who doesn't see an issue with this? Unless I'm missing something I'd always recommend using triple-equals where possible...

Arguably Docker is more fun though :D my favourite tool in my workflow currently

Domain level methods are your friend. Setters are bad...but public is worse

I more feel like people look at my comments and think "that's more difficult/complex but might lead to better software, so I'm just gonna ignore it :D"

We use Bamboo as a build agent to create our Docker images, provision boxes using SaltStack and deploy the Docker images via Salt :)

It scares me how folk are happy to write OS Level code in a client side scripting language :(

As a non-junior you should be helping all juniors learn any part of their job, you only stop being a junior by learning from those who have done the job already. "You're a dev too" isn't a good reason to expect someone to know something. We all have different skills and that's what makes development so exciting

@elrae I use to think the same about osx for dev, now the only way I switch is to use pure Linux. OSX's similarity to Linux at terminal level alone is enough for me

8 hour day
Usually around 5-8 hours a week on personal projects, depends how much the wife is working
Married for 6 months
No children yet

If you haven't already, look at Docker. Run everything in containers :D

So long as you understand the solution, it doesn't matter how you get there :)

Ensuring I take enough time to relax and watch TV/play video games. Otherwise just try to put together a list of knowing what I need to do for that day

Gameboy is an awesome idea. I've got one sitting in the house, I don't know what to do with it either

That's what home projects are for :)

Unless your project dies, it's not a deadline. to use someone else's phrase. let's call them sadlines

coding while drunk is definitely fun. Writing good code while drunk is a challenge, but if I didn't like a challenge I wouldn't be a programmer :D
