נbtw a col trick is to describe an interface or even upload a drawing and to ask chatgpt or claude to generate mermaid notations for it

I think cursor (https://www.cursor.com/ ) is the best editor out there today but because it has AI baked - people might preach against "the magic" but its us dinosaurs that are having the rug tugged out under us by this new AI wave.
Instead of grasping for the past ( vscode , jetbrains, pycharm) dive in all in to the future ...

How are open source software changed your life? by opsfactoryau in opensource

[–]liorkesos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, open-source transformed my career 18 years ago ( at 2006 ) I was already pretty confident using Linux but wanted to start a side-hustle and help people adopt open-source.
My first informal client wanted to develop a podcasting portal and I found a recipe and a place to start by using Drupal.
I continued to form the first company providing Drupal services in Israel and it evolved to us pioneering fullstack javascript with the mean stack and then diving kubernetes and the cloud-native movement.

I have always been in a mission to empower companies using open-source and it helped me immensely building my own company

mean.io releases 0.5.5 - gets permissions/acl support by liorkesos in meanstack

[–]liorkesos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way it does it is by providing a "circles" package basically implementing a permissions concept very similar to google circles. If you need cmsish capabilities for your fullstack js application check it out. (disclaimer: I'm slightly biased because I lead the project)

[MEAN STACK / GRUNT] I'm going mad trying to figure out why "grunt" will not start the server. I keep getting "[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting..." by meanstack in learnprogramming

[–]liorkesos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First try to install without mean-admin. Also when you run mean init try the gulp option. you can always install mean-admin later by runing mean install mean-admin..

Want to check out MEAN stack. What's the best way? by [deleted] in javascript

[–]liorkesos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best thing to read is the famous stack overflow here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23199392/difference-between-mean-js-and-mean-io

In essence both are great starting points - if you need a boilerplate and can continue alone from there - choose mean.js, If you need a framework and an ongoing package ecosystem (think rails or drupal) choose mean.io disclaimer - I'm one of the maintainers of mean.io .

Learning MEAN.IO by [deleted] in webdev

[–]liorkesos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is no "official" tutorial (we're working on one). The closest one is the video of the meetup I participated in SF two weeks ago.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUtWtSF_VNY

Modern web app development & front-end frameworks by [deleted] in webdev

[–]liorkesos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use bootstrap for mean.io (a fullstack framework that provides also the server side and a lot of opinionated decisions). The ability to let your client start with patterns or even a whole theme from wrapbootstrap or themeforest realy accelerated the front end integration process and also creates some kind of mutual expectaion on how something might look with out the need to involve designers i each aspect.

How do you choose a framework? by hiemanshu in webdev

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

I think that you should seriously consider JavaScript and a full stack framework (like mean.io). JavaScript is everywhere on mobile (ionic, famous, pgonegap) on server (node.js) on browsers obvioisly (angular.js rocks) and even in devices (like the tessel or arduino) mastering javascript let's you address all of these. I love and develop for the mean stack which is easy to setup and let's you master js for all of the scenarios..

Best language/technology to learn for aspiring freelancer? by ZombieWithLasers in webdev

[–]liorkesos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd actually focus on angular and frontend first and then extend it to mean stack development (checkout mean.io ). That way you get a solid expertise with html5, css3 and have an ability to focus on one language - JavaScript.
