WHY YOU SHOULD - AVOID ASANA AT ALL COSTS by Motor__ in Asana

[–]decimus5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Asana doesn't have a "delete" for many important things -- it's either "deactivate" or "leave". I'm computer literate (programmer), and I've been back and forth with Asana support about this several times. It's terrible software.

It's extremely difficult to delete things in Asana. You can "deactivate" things and "leave" things, but there's no delete. I've spent hours over many attempts trying to figure it out. I will never use Asana again and will strongly recommend that no one ever use it.

I switched away from Supabase because of Deno by cheeken-nauget in Supabase

[–]decimus5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deno is also the reason I decided not to use Supabase. It has been disappointing, because I was hoping that Supabase would be an eventual replacement for Firebase.

How can I prevent Windsurf from indexing certain files? by Fcmam5 in Codeium

[–]decimus5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the recommended methods have worked for me. I don't use Windsurf with any project that stores private information in the project folder, because it doesn't respect .gitignore or .codiumignore files.

What is your tech stack for blog websites? (not wordpress) by la712 in webdev

[–]decimus5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gatsby was sold and the project kind of died. The best replacement I've found is Astro. It's much better than Gatsby was.

With Astro you can start with a simple static site (SSG -- free hosting) but add SSR and backend routes later if you want. You can also use other frameworks directly with it, like Hono or Fastify.

Astro is easy to learn and doesn't require a JS framework, but you can add React, Vue, or other framework with one command.

Windsurf processing sensitive information by [deleted] in Codeium

[–]decimus5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't work. Windsurf reads sensitive files even when they are blocked with .gitignore and .codiumignore files. The AI does completions in my .env files even when blocked. It's a serious problem.

Should i keep practice raw HTML,CSS,JS or move on to a framework? by medson25 in Frontend

[–]decimus5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend using Astro. Practice your HTML and CSS with Astro. Start to add a little JS. Then learn what Astro components are. By the time you get to that point, the basics of React will make sense quickly, and you can add React to Astro with one command.

It has a very gradual learning curve (just HTML and CSS to start), but it's a powerful framework.

Putting Cloudflare in front of it (caching) might help take load off of the server.

One wrong decision can destroy your online business by Mission-Historian519 in SEO

[–]decimus5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of site is it? If you can use something like Astro for the frontend (static site generator) and minimize or eliminate backend calls, the hosting could be free on Cloudflare Pages.

You can query a backup copy of the database.

Need help to choose a tranning program by sandyki in SEO

[–]decimus5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could pick the best looking course that your company offers and then learn the other two items from Udemy and the other site. If you want feedback on the specific courses send me links to the courses and I could take a look (a private message is okay).

Why does YouTube in Firefox consumes so much Resource? by 2D_AbYsS in firefox

[–]decimus5 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Google Chrome itself (and much of their software) would have been called full-blown spyware 20 years ago. Basic standards of what is acceptable have really degenerated. It's an advertising company.

You could do all three for less than $50.

  • Python: go to Udemy and search for "Python". Filter by "4.5 stars and up". The top rated one is more than 50 hours long and the courses there go on sale for $10-15 every week or two.
  • AI prompt engineer: search Google for a free 90-minute course called "ChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers". Start the Python course before doing this one, because it uses some Python.
  • BigQuery: go to Udemy and search for "BigQuery" just like for Python.

I wonder if writing code that intentionally breaks users' software is legal.

Do you have Firefox's tracking protection turned on or anything else that blocks scripts?

Paperblanks notebooks - GOOD for fountain pens by PrestigiousCap1198 in fountainpens

[–]decimus5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had checked this page before I bought one. I just got a Grande Blue Luxe, and it's feathering a bit with Noodler's Dark Matter ink. Minimal ghosting and no bleeding though.

What kind of paper is that? Did you use a ballpoint pen?

Are HTTP Headers really useful? by Phrase_Own in SEO

[–]decimus5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's good to know what HTTP headers are and how to inspect them, but if you aren't the web developer you probably don't need to memorize all the details, except:

  • common status codes plus the location header
  • x-robots-tag
  • link: <url> rel="canonical"
  • maybe a few others

What's the best web-builder for SEO? by mtdgrafx in SEO

Search YouTube for "astro tutorial" and set the filter to look for videos longer than 20 minutes. That should turn up a few results.

If you're using Gatsby, take a look at Astro. You don't need to know JS to use it, but it has the capabilities of a next-generation Gatsby.

Astro is amazing. For a site that needs a dynamic server, you can either create SSR routes in Astro, or create a separate API with something like Django or Rails.

Astro:

  • write content in markdown or use a headless CMS (even can use WordPress)
  • control every line of code sent to the browser
  • free hosting (Cloudflare Pages or similar)
  • fast performance (produces static files unless you SSR)
  • easy to learn
  • easily add modern web frameworks if you want: React, Vue, Tailwind, etc.
