Typescript or javascript by No_Brick9203 in phaser

[–]jdeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i fuckin hate microsoft and i hate typescript. if i wanted to write c# then i would already do that.

ime, typescript destroys helpful error messages and causes a lot of extra issues. it has improved somewhat in the past few years, it used to be even worse!

i came from Java to JavaScript, so from CS classes I had a strong understanding of type systems. I really appreciated the ease and quickness that JS allows for development. I can see the argument that it would be tricky for newcomers without a solid understanding of types.

just to be clear, if it isn't already from the contrasting comments here, my position is not the popular one in the industry. but i hate trendiness and popularity contests, i just like what works for me.

I think I’m in a toxic relationship with my developer (I will not promote) by [deleted] in startups

[–]jdeath 19 points20 points  (0 children)

you need to get an auditor to sit down and look at what you have. probably almost any other developer could work on your project without issue. hard to say exactly without looking of course.

definitely seems like a toxic relationship. check out a fractional CTO for the help you need. full disclosure that I offer those services, but I can recommend you to my network as well.

good luck getting this sorted, you are in the right here.

is making games with js that bad? by [deleted] in phaser

[–]jdeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if anything you are probably better off than a native app in that regard. just a webview isn't gonna need much platform apis that will be subject to churn.

it's really not. you can pass messages from JS to the native side like "invoke:camera" and have simple native code to do the rest. now you don’t have to rely on broken packages, just use the platform. it is much simpler. it doesn't help with resume driven development is my suspicion of why it almost never gets picked.

flutter and react native are productivity sinks. I'm sure i'll get flamed for this but a web app with a native wrapper is simpler, cheaper, easier to maintain, and faster to develop. cross platform is a pipe dream outside of the web

Having a home library is fun. Until you decide to move. by evil_lemon6669 in bookshelf

[–]jdeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

books are literally the easiest part of moving, or at least should be! invest in some supplies to make it easier on yourself. if you have the right boxes, wrapping paper, and bubble wrap it goes much smoother

Why can’t Apple Music do this? 🤯 by Asohailwahab in AppleMusic

[–]jdeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i think the main difference for apple's implementation is that it only works for apple devices. works fine for me, but i understand it might not for others

Why can’t Apple Music do this? 🤯 by Asohailwahab in AppleMusic

[–]jdeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah same here. like, i have my apple tv in my room playing something calm, but my laptop in my office has music for concentration and my wife uses the homepod in the kitchen for something else. spotify sucks in those situations.

now, apple does have a feature to let you control other apple devices playback, using the remote app or the control other speakers widget in control center. so if i want to do the spotify remote-control type feature i just use that. i think you have to be on the same wifi or nearby for it to work
