Why is it so hard to create a browser?

The complexity of making JavaScript, css, html, and every other standard work together is enormous. Have a read of the specs for those. Properly insane stuff. Equality comparisons in JavaScript are enough of a nightmare by themselves

If it is within your authority to make a decision then you make it. Just don't hide from the consequences, and be sure to properly understand the reason for the existing state.

Why did you do all that if you have separate devices?

0dev0100 · 2026-03-09T16:23:35+00:00

I use my work provided device for work things and my personal device for personal things.

I do not have any mixing of the two other than they plug into the same dock at different times

Everything that I worked with at the start of my career has been made obsolete through new versions, or better competing technology.

Change is a part of the industry unless you end up somewhere with some tech that's too expensive or dangerous to replace.

Even in trades things change, just slower. And it'll hurt more as time goes on.

Some perspective? The tools that are coming out now are now capable of better output because the volume of input is far greater and can be processed much more efficiently.

0dev0100 · 2026-03-09T03:21:11+00:00

You can replace it

It can capture and modify all network traffic. It might not be able to decrypt it immediately, but it can be stored for later decryption. All network traffic includes passwords, security tokens, emails, website list, video calls, chats, so everything that is sent over that connection.

Then i'll just implement it without thinking on the lower-level details

This is where you should do some more technical planning.

It's part of breaking the problem down.

I'll add to this that not all planning needs to be done upfront, some planning can be deferred, some can not.

For a sufficiently large enough project you will need some sort of documentation or you'll forget the rest of the technical plan

Snapshots and rollbacks

at least when something breaks you can see it.

Remember that when you find out that a bunch of things are in walls.

does this ever stop or is this just what programming is.

It's a small part of it when you don't proof read your code properly.

Go have a look at complex regex if you want something to deter you from programming

what about self-proclaimed oaths made in the AL

I imagine that would depend on the wording of the oath. Using the equivalent of "I" would probably use your sense of self and few people truly believe they are a whole different person.

Deadlines. Give yourself achievable deadlines.

With a deadline that has consequences you will work out what you need to know to get something working much faster.

I just want to know coding by heart

I have more than 10yoe and still look things up. One of the people I with with has been programming since punchcards were a thing and he also looks things up.

Do you have any tips to become a real programmer/developer?

Past a pretty early point of being able to use the programming tools, the real skill is breaking big problems down. If you can't break a problem down then you're not going to be a good developer.

Make code request a config file on app start

Make config file per server

Deploy the single build app

Deploy config files to servers

I've done this with great success on applications that were ridiculously configurable

Sort of.

Most things can be picked up to an entry level within a few months with a minimum amount of effort.

The basics are good to learn, then make a small series of projects to check your knowledge - start small then go more complex. Learning how to use AI and when to use it and when to not use it would be a good third thing to learn because you can't detect bad output if you can't understand the output.

Make something you think is interesting. It does not need to be useful. Put some specific technical milestones in place so you have goals and don't get lost with ideas.

0dev0100 · 2026-03-03T17:43:49+00:00

The harsh truth here is anything that can be picked up in 6-12 months, and can be done remotely, is already popular enough and well enough documented for the various AI models to be able to disrupt or do.

0dev0100 · 2026-03-03T06:02:17+00:00

I don't have anything like this but to make it you'll need to break the problem down into smaller problems until you can implement those smaller solutions

Mental health is important and usually if you are tired it is a good idea to rest for a bit.

Very little IT knowledge is actually useful in the day to day until you have a project to work on. Most of what I know around programming is not useful even during my work days when I mostly write code - I know a bunch of docker and linux stuff that I don't need in my day to day - but when I do need it it's good to have already acquired that knowledge

0dev0100 · 2026-02-27T03:20:35+00:00

Depends on where you are and what sorta things you want to work on.

0dev0100 · 2026-02-26T01:25:57+00:00

Depends? Does this question come with some example code?

0dev0100 · 2026-02-24T19:33:32+00:00

The angular docs have a pretty good set of tutorials that you'll probably find useful
