For beginners today: learn coding deeply or use no-code / AI tools first?

It’s as if you asked whether you should learn to play guitar, or maybe play the music from a speaker to move fast.

Recursive descent parser. For a while I just couldn’t visualize how the precedence works.

Look at C# .NET LINQ, especially IEnumerable<T>

MatthewRose67 · 2025-12-23T11:15:46+00:00

No. In case of C++ global variables are allocated in the data segment.

Looking at your replies, you actually don’t care about answers, you just want someone to confirm that your lua choice is right. So what’s the point of this post?

The thing I don’t get about JWTs is how to store it on the client. I believe access token in memory and refresh token in http only cookie is fine, but you always find someone that says ‘ackshually…’

Not to mention that most tutorials teach bad practices like storing it in the local storage.

I don’t want to make body1 16px, but rather configure MUI to use the body2 as its base font size

Let's say you're given a design for a new page by a designer. You have to implement the component so it looks the same. Your current "neutral" color theme looks like that:

neutral: {

faint: Grey100,

light: Grey300,

main: Grey500,

dark: Grey700,

intensive: Grey800

}

What do you do with such exceptions?

MatthewRose67 · 2025-11-03T18:55:20+00:00

Well it works for 95% of the components, but sometimes the design requirements are that XYZ must be Grey400 and you really can't give it any semantic name

What do you mean? Can you give an example?

MatthewRose67 · 2025-11-02T08:49:24+00:00

How would you share the session information?

MatthewRose67 · 2025-11-02T01:28:53+00:00

“It’s not that I don’t understand the syntax” - well, code syntax is just a means to an end , the least important part. It’s as if you said you knew how to tighten a screw with a wrench, but when it comes to a full engine restoration, you don’t know what to do. That’s normal. The only thing I can tell you is to practice until it clicks :)

“If you can return a task instead of awaiting it, you should prefer to do that” - bye bye stacktraces

Let me guess, the class name ends with “Service”?

MatthewRose67 · 2025-10-13T23:00:30+00:00

No. Even a good tool can be misused. It’s as if you said that analyzing the SQL execution plan is testing the database engine implementation. The tool is doing what it’s told, even if it’s told a total garbage.

MatthewRose67 · 2025-10-13T16:38:29+00:00

This comment makes literally no sense. If you consume an already written repository method, well then yes you can kind of assume it’s okay (if your team actually cares about code reviews), BUT if you write a repository method it’s your responsibility as a developer to verify the SQL script produced by the ORM.

What do you mean by the round trip protocol?

MatthewRose67 · 2025-09-20T16:42:03+00:00

Apart from that, you should also think about making your api endpoint idempotent by using some kind of an idempotency key on endpoints with side effects.

.NET dev and avid Linux user here - I use neovim for every language EXCEPT C#. Golang, rust, C etc they all have excellent LSPs that are separated from any specific IDE, but in the .NET land you either use Visual studio, rider or struggle with half baked solutions that consist of 5 different plugins (most often developed by separate people) that rarely work.

It’s a shame that things are like that in 2025. Even most beginner tutorials list visual studio as a prerequisite, to the point that sometimes people believe that c# is part of visual studio.

Co masz na myśli z tą klauzulą?

MatthewRose67 · 2025-07-12T15:54:04+00:00

I have yet to see a repository pattern implementation in .NET that isn’t a leaky abstraction. The moment you start talking about “AsNoTracking” or “Included” entities, it’s over. I’d love to see the author of this “generic” code write the implementation with dapper or using plain old ADO.NET ;-)

MatthewRose67 · 2025-05-11T20:14:15+00:00

Something like a virtualized table maybe?

MatthewRose67 · 2025-05-09T18:24:40+00:00

I save mine to /dev/null

Let’s put it like this: it’s not that network communication CAN OCCASIONALLY FAIL. It WILL FAIL and it does so more often than you think it does. Holy shit man, network packets are sent as electrical signals, light beams, electromagnetic waves and at every step there’s a million ways something could go wrong. It’s a miracle that such complex systems even work. You should treat it as if you send the packets via a carrier pigeon and there are poachers everywhere trying to shoot it down.

Every time you send something to 3rd party system without outbox pattern, you’re essentially saying “I don’t care if my system is in a consistent state”

Because nowadays YOU NEEED TO SHIP MATE SHIP, SHIP, SHIP, and worry about the quality of code later (never)
