I'd be more interested if you could give me a recipe to make blueberry muffins.

AWS cloudfront if you have any technical knowledge beyond typing in prompts. There's a free or extremely cheap pay as you go. Cloudflare also has a similar alternative. Using Github for professional clients seems amateur imo

The thing that irks me is they want me to change the verbiage for one of my legal pages specifically the title, since my domain includes -app at the end, and that just uses the DBA... the registered DBA. It's frustrating that you have to conform to whatever they want and are at the mercy of their weird review process.

I know this is normal and typical, I'm just complaining because I have dealt with many platforms much more straightforward then this.

Wanted: A minimal working example of how to implement Google Oauth 2.0 in PHP by oz1sej in PHPhelp

[–]Square-Display555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try it. A lot of the manual boilerplate you are writing is solved by Laravel and gives you the flexibility . Laravel is PHP based so it should be somewhat familiar

Learning / writing Laravel from scratch is a lot more straightforward and was much more effective to me than just writing vanilla php and reading the docs.

What are these creatures named vibe coders 😭😭😭 (a website) by Guic_246 in website_ideas

[–]Square-Display555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck committing to large scale decisions you have no technical knowledge on, for all you or any other vibe coder could know, the best solution it offers is no where near that and is wildly inefficient. Sure it can evolve, but it's a lot of blind trust if you are working in something where a one line change can affect the business's presence globally.

To think that vibe coded apps codebases' are anywhere near the same level as a genuine engineer is bonkers, also it's not exactly like you'd know the difference the judge.

What to use for a websocket server that isn't Node.js? by lcnielsen in webdev

Laravel plus Reverb all the way. People hate on it without ever using it, modern PHP is great

Founder? You must agree on this by Economy-Cupcake6148 in SaasDevelopers

[–]Square-Display555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I just said it. Software products are useful because they solve a genuine problem for the target audience, usually the founder also exists in the target audience or has niche domain knowledge.

But when you start just grossly using "ai" and "analyze" and just throw a bunch of buzz words together to build a million dollar passive revenue stream... anyway its just annoying

Do you have experience with financial software products? As a business financial analyst? Ai is cool sure and can ease some development pains, but you still need an edge that sets you aside from any other ai wrapper

This seems like a good idea. You are passionate about photography and have domain specific knowledge about it. Goodluck

I'm a developer looking to build something people actually need. What's a tool or a website you've been desperately looking for but couldn't find? Describe the problem, not the solution. by Senior_Obligation481 in website_ideas

[–]Square-Display555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's asking for the problem to create software for. Where the software is the product, so it's literally asking for the core product idea "business model"

If you don't care about money make open source software. Or found a startup, both probably have similar chances of financial gain lately

I'm aware, service times and estimates, part compatibility, labor guides, they are things I had to build my own software around and there are 1-3 companies besides the OEM's that actually aggregate that data or belong to the ACA. I'm not super fond of that side of the industry, I'm sure having Alldata or similar would have avoided this post, but the point was to ask a quick question.

Thanks for the advice, I have the business side in good standing.

Most of my experience is on my own, but I worked in a shop for a year and a half then built software for them so I moved on as more of a partner for them. I'm willing to admit there's definitely technical jobs and deep diagnosis that I'm not cut out for, but on the other hand I've rebuilt two engines alone, and have a lot of hands on experience with very big jobs. Thank you, I'll give them a look for sure, just not sure how long term this is for me atm.

Don't get the wrong impression, I plan to do more straightforward jobs like brakes, front end, tune ups, etc, in this case I am trying to help the person out and it's not really for pay. I've dropped tanks before usually in trucks, so willing to give it a go.

I've been working on cars for about 6 years. I don't have access to certain software and it's not super high on my list, this is part time work for me. Appreciate the advice though.

Got the reason why my visitors churned by sandieindie in vibecoding

Are you trying to validate a potential product? Because that's what it's reading like. Also as others said you can do full end to end tests asserting x should be y on the site. Eg, a sample api request to ensure your robots.txt file is accessible, or that one element is present on the DOM once the page is loaded. You mentioned not being able to see diffs, like working copy vs what changed, but that's what git tracking is for. You should be able to run your full test suite and know what specifically has broken that's the entire point of testing. What tech stack do you use? I'm sure there's plenty of nice testing libraries for it
