I know that LLMs are probably very helpful for people who are just getting started, but you will never understand it if you can’t grasp the fundamentals. Don’t let “AI” make you lazy. If you do use LLMs make sure you understand the output it’s giving you enough to replicate it yourself.

This may not be applicable to you specifically, but I think this is nice info to have here for others.

To add on, if you are set on using nginx then it’s easy to set up https with certbot

It is until you have to work for someone else. I should have kept it as a hobby…

Source control is a saviour for this shit. Can’t count the times I’ve made a small change and completely fucked up the CSS in 20 other files I didn’t realise existed…

I am I the only one that thing 2024 was a great year for Linux Desktop?

Not in any real advancements in Linux, but because Windows in now shit enough 3 of my non-techy friends switched to Ubuntu just to avoid Windows.

Disclaimer: All 3 were gamers that saw me playing the games they cared about on Steam Deck. So it was actually Steam Deck that did the heavy lifting in this example.

Yeah, like JavaScript

If it makes you feel any better I’m 99% sure I’d have done the same thing.

Hope you didn’t have the repository URL in your package.json… otherwise it’ll be gone now.

80% seems really low

Last company I worked at used Typescript, but used any for everything… I have no idea why. I never got an actual answer.

The last one knows it’s not a programming language and is annoyingly vocal about it.

If you’re paying someone $40 an hour who doesn’t know what a rectangle is then I think you’re the problem.

It makes sense why they did it, but their messed up versioning was the cause to begin with. You should always assume Devs will cut corners in inappropriate ways.

Never seems to get Office documents dodgy formatting right. OnlyOffice seems to do a much better job of replicating MS Office.

The individual responding isn’t the issue. They haven’t made any decision to respond like this, they are following a script.

The script is written by people who should know exactly what they are doing, so the result is either malice or negligence. Either way it’s unacceptable where the law is concerned.
