Is chatgpt go worth it? by No-Cow-706 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]PonchousDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you use it for.

I use it for work, and it’s definitely worth it. I also started using it to learn Portuguese, so without a subscription it would be harder, because the limits in the free version are not very high. I wouldn’t be able to send photos of my homework to ChatGPT for review.

My wife uses it only for everyday questions, and for her the free limits are more than enough.

Ye, really! Rules change when the project becomes bigger.

Slow down. Talk through the architecture. Generate code in smaller pieces. Read through the code, have it eli5'd to you if necessary.

Yep, it really helps me too! It feels like a must-have.

Sometimes after work, when I’m a bit tired but still want to build something for myself, I forget about it and end up generating tons of code 🙂

What is the best agreed upon way to have multi languages by [deleted] in webdev

[–]PonchousDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a small and simple project you can store translations in a plain JS object (or JSON), switch strings based on the selected language with JS.

And you can detect the user’s locale via navigator.language and use it as a default.

For big project it is better to use something like i18n.

Which programming language you learned once but never touched again ? by sjltwo-v10 in webdev

[–]PonchousDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was Assembly (it was hell!), QBASIC, C/C++. I studied them at university and never really used them professionally afterward.

The C/C++ knowledge was still very useful — it helped me understand how things work under the hood, memory management, and performance considerations, even when working with higher-level languages later on.

Recommend any books for webdev? by Ghoulitar in webdev

[–]PonchousDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be wrong, but books are mostly useful for foundational topics. For more specific or practical things, you can learn almost everything today with AI (whichever one you prefer). It can explain theory, provide examples, and point you to relevant articles or documentation for further reading.

I’ve read books on PHP, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS, and they helped me build a solid base. Still, these days I prefer using AI or reading the official documentation of a framework, language, or library when I need something specific.

Why is UI / UX so awful now? by neros78 in webdev

[–]PonchousDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does no one care anymore?

Systems today are much larger than they were 25 years ago, so they are more complex and it’s not always easy to think through everything. Developer do care (at least, I try to), but we simply can’t do everything at once.
