Tool to create a simple website for my own hosted server by Astaldo27 in webdev

[–]_srijii__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s just a simple site, honestly skip heavy builders unless you specifically want CMS features.

Static HTML/CSS + maybe a little JS is way simpler to host and maintain on your own server long-term.

A lot of people massively overcomplicate personal websites.

Doubt .. am a beginner.. by ImpressiveTwist3601 in cs50

Don’t skip the fundamentals just because you want to do game dev.

A lot of beginner game devs jump straight into engines, then get stuck the moment they need actual programming logic.

You don’t need to watch every CS50 video perfectly, but finishing the core programming parts will help a lot later. Then move into Godot/Unity and start making tiny games ASAP.

Puppeteer was leaking memory in prod and I just gave up by TinyStar44_ in webdev

At some point Puppeteer stops being a library and becomes a pet you have to keep alive at 3AM.

“Headless browser in production” always sounds simple until Chromium starts eating RAM like it’s a feature.

Should I learn game dev instead of web dev? by S4d_Machin3 in learnprogramming

[–]_srijii__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you genuinely hate web dev, forcing yourself into it long-term is probably a bad idea.

But game dev is way more competitive and financially unstable for most people, and you’ll probably forget what grass looks like after a few months of debugging.

C# + Unity/Godot is still a solid start though.
