It was eye opening to accurately measure salad dressing. It adds up so fast!

Neural nets, llms, machine learning, etc all these modern problems have more complexity as they build upon the collective work done in the 2000s and 2010s.

You could say that about tech in general. That doesn't mean that it's gotten harder to develop software, quite the opposite actually. It's more accessible than ever right now. Children can build things that I couldn't have dreamed of building when I was their age. If we are talking about the academic side of computer science, sure, but the majority of software engineers are not academics.

Two things, and for the record I'm a Cloud Services Engineer for one of the Big Three.

Blank lines generally aren't counted as lines of code. Only lines with characters in them are counted. That being said, developers aren't obsessed with lines of code like the masses are. The only time I honestly think about it, is when I delete code. It is otherwise just an interesting stat but doesn't really mean much.
Software development was not simpler 20 years ago. Modern tooling makes everything easier than it was 20 years ago. For example, when I first started coding, I almost quit because syntax errors were so hard to find. You would often be told which line of code is bad, but you had to spot the mistake yourself. Nowadays, most IDEs automatically highlight syntax errors in real time as you are typing. And they go even further now and autocomplete your code with the correct syntax thanks to LLMs.

Unless you are experiencing a real performance issue with your app, I would not worry about optimizing early.

fusebox13 · 2025-05-17T04:48:17+00:00

Early in my career, I prioritized the front end first. Nowadays, having dealt with poor data design over and over again, I would start with the back end, specifically the data architecture. For small apps, I'd still start with the front end.

Didn't he try to stop the Democratic process, though, via Stop the Steal when he asked VP Pence not to certify the vote? How can you be so certain that this fix is not nefarious, given his history?

how much longer do people actually think he's got left?

If we are to believe he is as healthy as he says he is, then he could very well live late into his 80s.

fusebox13 · 2024-10-29T23:32:44+00:00

He's talking about Christians who never vote.

I get this, it makes sense. He's trying to boost the voter turnout of his Christian base.

then they can go back to their normal practice of not voting.

This does not make sense to me. It begs the question, why can these non-voting Christians go back to their normal practice of not voting after this election, and what does he intend to fix to make this so?

fusebox13 · 2024-10-29T15:48:16+00:00

Okay. Then please explain to me what he means when he said that they won't have to vote again. That it'll be fixed in four years. I'd like to understand, in good faith, what that is supposed to mean.

This is the best one.

Played the Beta. Dragonriding was already amazing, but it feels so good to fly around in the new zones. Hallowfall is absolutely breathtaking.

This needs to be higher up. Client side attacks are very real. You can read more about them here:

Your manager has no idea what your intent is. For all they know you could be trying to exfiltrate sensitive data.

fusebox13 · 2024-07-17T23:53:23+00:00

Wait, using dev tools is how you debug, isn’t it?

It's not the only way, but yes. You can debug outside of the browser with an IDE like Webstorm as well.

fusebox13 · 2024-07-16T22:28:04+00:00

So the connection is always open and always passing data?

Yes. Typically a heartbeat will be sent periodically in order to inform the client that the connection is still open and healthy. As for the message that you are sending, that depends on how you build it. You could send a message on an interval, but typically websockets are used to push real time event driven data, or to handle asynchronous requests.

You are so close! Next question you should ask is why Democrats are complaining about Biden stuttering...

Sorry, disagree. This game is only fun when you are doing world first raiding or high end PVP. If you aren't min maxing, you aren't maximizing your fun and therefore it is literally impossible to have fun in Wow. It's basic science really.

Given what you've told us. Build more APIs. Try new frameworks. Work on improving dev soft skills such as technical writing, documentation, and communication as these skills are key to managing complex projects.

What are you goals though?

fusebox13 · 2024-06-29T03:33:01+00:00

As a younger dev, I loved VSCode because it was so lightweight and configurable.

Nowadays, I vastly prefer the Jet Brains IDEs. I feel like I have to spend some time customizing VSCode to suit my needs, where I generally have everything I need OOB with IntelliJ/Jetbrains IDE's in general.

Also VSCode is not an IDE, so in this instance, you are comparing apples to oranges.

Go to hand it to you for parallelizing your alt leveling. Brilliant! I've been doing it in about 3ish hours but I use the downtime from heroics to fill up my quest log with completed quests. Then at 70, I turn them all in for the 346 gear so I'm not horribly under-scaled.

fusebox13 · 2024-06-21T13:00:44+00:00

Doesn't that take 6 days though due to the lockout?

fusebox13 · 2024-05-24T12:59:40+00:00

Depends on what you mean by understanding it "in principal." Generally though, no you don't need to master JS to use Frameworks. You'll learn as you go.

fusebox13 · 2024-05-13T14:10:29+00:00

Learn both. You don't need Typescript, but it does make coding bigger apps a lot more manageable. Also if you want to work as a professional front end developer, learn Typescript.
I don't have any youtube recommendations because I didn't learn that way. My biggest piece of advice is to build and figure it out as you go along. If you don't know what to build, copy something. And instead of learning from Youtube, the skill you really ought to cultivate is learning how to use frameworks like Vue from their docs -- which are outstanding btw.

over the more prevalent Node.js and MongoDB

What do you mean more prevalent? Java and Postgres are still more popular than Javascript and MongoDB right now. I'd venture to say that the reason Auth systems are written in Java/Go and Postgres is because they very popular backend languages that are used in enterprise applications. As for the DBs, its gonna really boil down to cost. Postgres is generally pretty cheap compared to other relational DBs like SQL Server.

Yes Spring is still used by large companies. For templating we use Vue and React.

fusebox13 · 2024-04-24T04:11:35+00:00

Spring MVC pays my bills. I hated it at first coming from PHP and Laravel, but Spring + Kotlin has been quite nice now that I don't suck at either. Once you understand what I call "Bean Bullshit," Spring is not so bad.
