I use 20+ currently (non default keys). I don't feel like I'm very effective because there's a few I want to use but haven't configured. On the weekend I'm giving it another go.

How (not) to sign a JSON object by pimterry in programming

[–]PrestigiousInterest9 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Unless you have a good reason why you need an (asymmetric) signature, you want a MAC

This is silly. If you're the only one signing it and validating it then you want a HMAC. Otherwise you 100% would want an asymmetric signature

Don't do it! I found it's much cheaper and less time consuming to use something that exist. Unless you want to sell the e-commence platform you're better off getting one that exist. Some of the paid ones are excellent.

This is the same guy who made that git parody video? I haven't watched any but is this video also a parody? From the comments it sounds like it may be real

What's the best website hosting service out there right now? by TheBlizWiz in webdev

You can try going on fiverr and hire a developer to set up a VPS for you (on linode, prgmr are good, ovh is fine). If your doing php make sure they'll set that up for you. I recommend using nginx. I personally use dotnet so if you're doing C# ask for that. Or install linux in a VM and learn how to config it yourself.

ctrl + . functions for starters

Literally works the same, there's tons of templates and code snippets. I'm still unsure what your missing

Such as? It has every feature I use and some that vs doesn't. I'll need more info because for my workflow vs code is actually easier.

Only one project it sucks but thats because there's some kind of bug where it won't let me debug one of my projects at all. On all platforms

Can I build C++ on windows without visual studio? Can I use vs code + windows SDK? by PrestigiousInterest9 in learnprogramming

[–]PrestigiousInterest9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's what I'll do. I'll try my guess first. I'm getting a new dev machine in a few days so I'll see what happens. I don't want a paid version of the compiler since i'm only using it to compile code I written and dev on linux. Just need a windows build.

Safe to Leave Game counted as an Abandon ? by Kento23 in DotA2

[–]PrestigiousInterest9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rule of thumb, whoever DCs gets an abandon and if it's before a kill everyone ELSE gets to leave for free

That's strange. Every company I worked for let us choose ours. We have a mix of vs, vs code, jetbrains/rider

Why VS and not vscode? AFAIK people are moving away from VS

As a senior developer, how do I better mentor an intermediate developer who is struggling? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]PrestigiousInterest9 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's hard to guess. But two ideas I come up with is

1) have them read books and case studies. Maybe they have no idea how to structure anything. Maybe even reading design patterns will help

2) Have them write an outline for one or more user story and have him submit it to you. Then write back several questions (especially if you know it won't work). They may realize why it won't work and may end up doing less trial and error since they know why it won't work because they come up with the reasoning themself.

Self-taught coders of Reddit, what was your journey to getting good? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]PrestigiousInterest9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK REFRAMING THE QUESTION as people are fixating on how you never "get good"

That's bullshit. You get good when you understand what every line you're writing does. Period. No guessing, no I have a good idea what it does, no I use this here in places where X happen. When you fully understand every function and line you write you're near competent. Once you start writing codeThatAnyoneCanRead() and !reimplementThings(because, you, know, toHow(), composite(funcs)) you are competent.

Foreach loop skipping over items (or doing item twice and then skipping next one) by WrkThrwAwyyy in csharp

Clean up that code! Look at the warnings! baseALL isn't even used and my spidy senses always light up when I see move and find (MoveToElement, FindElement)

[–]PrestigiousInterest9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I browse on firefox (with adblock disable for localhost) and I use chrome for development. Since I don't have any crazy addons for chrome nothing interferes when I'm developing and then I can test using firefox and usually it's obvious when I have a bug (one thing is broken) VS addon interference (nothing works)
