Re:Don't DRY Your Code Prematurely on Thursday May 30, 2024 @03:09PM (#40527498)
I wonder why nobody mentioned it - there is one more advanced principle AHA: (Avoid Hasty Abstractions) https://kentcdodds.com/blog/aha-programming#aha- Overusing the DRY principle can make software almost unsupportable.

Re:The IT Productivity Paradox (2015) on Saturday April 06, 2024 @06:05AM (#39951335)
Yes, IT processes significantly differ from those in other areas and can't be evaluated by the same methods - due to the complexities, hidden problems, and overevaluated expectations. For example, the known fact: adding a new member to a team doesn't linearly increase productivity.Nowadays probably AI will help here :)

Yeah, full website design screenshots would look better, and easier to find the best, like here https://www.pickedweb.com

I use the same approach, which works great for me.
Re:Smart Programmers Write STUPID Code on Sunday October 08, 2023 @07:29AM (#37809601)
There is also more advanced AHA principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself in alternative section) - which is an evolution of DRY and is great for avoiding redundant complexity caused by DRY.
Yeah, what is named AI for now, is not AI at all.
Re:PHP Popularity: Is it decreasing and what to do about it? on Saturday April 22, 2023 @01:22AM (#35663617)
There are few factors why PHP popularity is decreasing, not because it is really bad. But very often other languages build its popularity on promoting how "bad" is PHP. It is also no longer fashionable as it was in the beginning, but other language promoted as such. And more.. So, I think, rebranding and good marketing could help here.

Nothing new here, it is a well known problem solving method for physicists.

Yeah, they want lay off workers because they need money for making big investment in ChatGPT :)
Re:Drupal 10.0.0 Is Available on Saturday December 17, 2022 @11:19AM (#34029109)
Don't think that there are many headless CMS that has better content models than Drupal. Basically Drupal has entities, bundles, fields, all can be stored in yml configs and it can be easy extended. Could you please provide examples?
Re:Drupal 10.0.0 Is Available on Saturday December 17, 2022 @10:55AM (#34028821)
Drupal is great and gets better with every release! It was a tough time making the technological leap from the D7 to the D8, but now it just evolves.

Just try Preact
Re:Ask HN: What happened to vanilla HTML/CSS/JS development? on Friday September 09, 2022 @04:32PM (#32784553)
That is just because you worked for long time with backend. Angular looks better for you - because it was developed to be easy adoptable by backend devs. But React is great, it just use different paradigm than is used for backend development. PS.I have also stared from those web early times.

Re:Reasons to ditch Chrome and use Firefox on Saturday May 28, 2022 @05:06AM (#31538803)
Firefox is the best
Yeap, the same story like Windows and Explorer.
Probably, Mozilla could try this financing model, to save FF.
I use it by the same way. FF is the best!
