Because of vibe coding everyone is a developer now so the number of accounts, PRs, repos, etc just 10x'd.

I thought I was good at this but I can’t get under 0.0050. I blame my screen!

Very addictive, kudos to the dev

This takes something as nerdy as decimal places in CSS colors and turns it into a fun, practical read. It feels like you’re being walked through the rabbit hole by a friend who’s done way too much homework, then hands you a few simple rules you can actually remember and use.

Please don't give Tony DJI a hard time. He's just a support person who's taking the brunt for a large corporation's priority's decisions.

Same! Drives me crazy every time I have to set up a new Mac for myself (I'm a contractor and clients sometimes insist i use their hardware). I have to Google it every time.

Sure but you have to fight made up wars to keep the rich rich and risk your life in the process.
Re:Factory Factory Factory on Saturday July 08, 2023 @09:53AM (#36644413)
No, i get it. But the author analogy is dumb (even if funny). There's literally no one stopping you from just downloading a "hammer" from the internet and just using that. The "stores" haven't stopped selling "hammers". Even if they're also selling "factory factory factory".

Go ahead and build your apps out of whatever you want, no one is forcing you to build it using frameworks.

But I promise you, if frameworks did not exist half the apps I use today wouldn't either. There's a right tool for every job and the article pretends there isn't.

Re:Factory Factory Factory on Friday July 07, 2023 @10:52PM (#36640938)
You know why this is so dumb? Because there's an analogy that's very similar that explains why we have frameworks.

A: I wanna buy a tree. B: Ok. We have trees. What do you need a tree for? A: i want trees so i can make lumber out of them. So i can cut them in two by eights. So i can build a deck deck for my patio B: Hmm we sell two de eights. You wanna buy that instead? A: Oh yes why! I would like that! I'll buy two by eights instead of trees so i can finish my job faster!

Yeah right. Back in those days we had a page view counter RIGHT ON THE PAGE

And get thrilled when someone who in your "guest book".

The only thing all generations have in common is their despise for the following generations. But we keep on doing the exact same things. We just forget how it really was in our days while remembering only the good stuff.

I think in the US they would be protected under section 230. Which is a reminder to is all (in the US) of why section 230 is so important.
I have never heard of Senuas Sacrifice, so I googled it. It's 85% off on steam summer sale ($4.49 in the US). Just an fyi for anyone else interested.

Something that I've found that helps me with impostor syndrome is to read and talk about it.

Ok. Did they propose a different way to combat systemic racism?
Exactly. Hybrid does not work for me. I want to live wherever I feel like, not wherever your company wants to have offices.
