I have a PHP related question.

I noticed a few frameworks make use of this structure of code and it makes absolutely no sense to me. There would be a PHP file, and the contents of the file would be as follows:

<?php

return [
‘a’ => ‘b’
];

My only understanding is that this is an array/object but I have no idea how these values would even be accessed.

Like, there is no array variable, how can a php file simply return something into a void? There isn’t a function or variable to catch that array.

How does this even work?

An email client (like Newton) open sourced.

I love starting and working on new projects. But as soon as projects exceed their deadlines, I start to get so bored and lazy to actually continue working on them... I haven’t yet been able to overcome this.

During my high school days, I pitched an idea of an Antivirus. That would “hack” any origin computer that was being used to hack the destination computer.

Another idea I had was to deploy a virus, which was meant to be harmless, and would stay dormant while it replicated itself. Once in enough systems, I would “command” it to delete a certain photo from every computer that would ever exist.

The second idea came to me after the bullying of Amanda Todd.

I have read people talk about how “Laravel makes PHP fun”. I don't get it. I really hate frameworks. Yeah they may simplify tasks. But the way I see it, you now have a damn framework that you're never going to bother to understand. You most likely won't read the underlying code, you'll rely on others to release security updates.

Hey yeah it has its benefits, like peer reviewed, and matured code.

But I guess it's just not for me.

SAME GOES FOR WORDPRESS. It does freaking make your life easy, and it's easy money, but I guess it would just annoy me to not be bothered with the underlying code.

Anyway, Imma head on to make my own framework....

Anyone here know what Linux Polaris is?

I can’t find any information about it online, but the server I am logged into claims to be called Polaris. Haven’t ever heard of it.

Hello,

I have a job interview tomorrow, and it appears to be a great opportunity. Could you guys suggest some questions I could ask the interviewer about the company, and some questions I should ask about the job too?

I was thinking about asking about the corporate culture, and about the company's vision.

But apart from thr company, I would love to know about the job too. I have always ever been employed as a contractor and freelancer. So I nevrr really had to do kuch in interviews, but I'd love some help as this would be my first ever interview.

So apparently you could spend $35 for something we foolishly spent upwards of $50k for.

Our local travel app went super geeky.

For an "Ad" this is probably really bad because the general public wouldn't even bother checking the binary. + nothing actually happened when I opened the notification. 🙄

I suppose I swear enough on chat that my "duck" now autocorrects to "fuck".

I suppose. The bad sleep schedule demotivates me from working.

Is "Designed / Developed by" in the footer of a website still a thing for Freelancer / Agency exposure?

2:40am. I'm developing in production.

Why? I don't know

Been working on a personal project for about two years now.

It has finally become a venture that we will be launching pretty soon!!

After a long and relatively serious meeting with the boss. I say thank you, he says thank you, his iPad replies, You're welcome.

My web hosting company, DigitalOcean, sent me a sticker via mail out of the blue.

No explanation, no letter, just the sticker. I just found this to be super awesome.

One year after planning, ideation, development. We were finally ready to launch our client’s product. Everyone was super excited to finally be done with the project. I was responsible to launch it, on a Monday, overnight.

Launch successful. Everyone is happy.

But then it happened... we got the call.. the application is not working. Our team started working to figure out what may have gone wrong, error logs weren’t useful, Application monitors were calm.

Finally, after a tiresome 24 hours, I logged into the hosting account of our client, and there it was, in big bold letters, “Ram: 512MB”.

Apparently, our client thought it would be best to get a cheaper dedicated server instead of the one we fucking recommended.

We all have that hate-hate relationship with Dreamweaver. But I gotta say, their premade templates are rather informative.

Redid my website. Comments, suggestions, criticism is welcomed.

Google just announced the .dev TLD which is now available for registration.

I guess it's time to change all my personal project host names to something different 🤷‍♂️

Question for those who have programming for several years :

Does it sometimes feel like the logic in your mind is reflected by the career path you have chosen?

Meaning, for me, when it comes to decision making, or when trying to understand an idea, I usually black out when a variable in my mind does not make sence.

Sometimes it feels like programming logic has taken over how I think.

well.. okay...

How I imagine it vs How my users use it.

Hired and Paid as a web developer.

But sitting here adding products to a woocommerce site.

My friend asked me what to get for her programmer boyfriend for his birthday.

Easy, Rubber duck.

Read up on how CSS Grid works. Now I feel like I've been living under a bridge these many months/years.

It's awesome how you learn so much during your tasks/projects.

I read the term CSS Grid a couple of days ago, and while starting a project for my client, I decided why not take a look into what a CSS Grid really is, and oh damn, I believe Grid is really going to make this project extra awesome.

I've been working with Magento too long that everything else seems like a piece of cake.

FUCK YOU MAGENTO! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

People who complain about wordpress have probably never tried working with Magento.

I've been going through their documentation for about 3 hours now, trying to figure out how this entire system works. And I'm no where close to understanding it...

You know you're deep into programming when your messages end in semicolon.
