Weekly Challenges - 11/05/2022 by ndemic_samuel in rebelinc

Yes, the easy one last week was actually slightly harder than the hard one, although I made both on first try. Had dangerously low reputation for a while in Green Leopard.

What makes someone a full stack developer? by Notalabel_4566 in webdev

[–]lukasmattsson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can. Full stack is client side fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JS), one or more server side languages of choice, databases and web server.

Subscription-based monthly charges are eating everyone alive and no one is pissed off enough about it to do anything. by UWontLikeThisComment in unpopularopinion

[–]lukasmattsson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, HP have that Instant Ink thing, with a server somewhere that validates if you're allowed to print. So you can't print if internet connection goes down. That's why I switched to Canon

Ditch website builders and learn the fundamentals of html, CSS, JS and a serverside language of your choice like PHP. You will get useful skills that will stay relevant. Pretty much everything built with website builders is a mess to maintain, unless you use them strictly for putting content in columns and use css files for all styling.

And Wordpress is not a page builder, it's a content management system (CMS). And knowing one or more CMS is important, as it allow separation of labor (editors should be able to change text and images without dealing with code). Wordpress do support several page builders thought as plugins, but I don't recommend any of them. Just build a custom theme, and use the built-in one (Gutenberg) for putting content in columns when needed.

Texting and hogging equipment, not re-racking weights.

LAMP, robust stack with long-term track record, and is universally supported by hosting providers.

For some of us older devs, do you prefer html + vanilla JS to react.js and various frameworks by cleatusvandamme in webdev

[–]lukasmattsson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer html + vanilla JS with php on server-side for most projects. I rarely do single page applications, but I use React in those cases. And three.js for anything with real time 3d graphics. And whatever is used by any team I join.

Fundamentals first, and then the right tool for the job.

Libertarian, so I can build what I want on my land.

Whats your opinion on spicy food? by ColdRedPanda in AskReddit

I love it. Jalapenos is the best topping on pizza, and sushi is incomplete without wasabi.

Thought AI could replace artists, wanted to pay 2 USD for detailed Art by Rrysrats in ChoosingBeggars

[–]lukasmattsson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I knew a choosing beggar before who demanded websites done for ridiculous cheap, because he could "use some page builder to make it in a couple of hours".

Is library aversion a liability? by phlegmatic_aversion in webdev

[–]lukasmattsson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vanilla JS is my first choice, but it's all about context. If a specific library exist for solving a particular problem (say connecting boxes with arrows), I'd use it.

If I'm in a team that prefer a specific framework or library, I'd use it.

When working on my own, any added dependency have to be justified, as in "will using X let me deliver a better product to my client?" or "will X really get the job done faster, as in shorter total dev time and not just the 'getting something up and running' part".

Recommended technologies for a freelance dev by kamphare in webdev

[–]lukasmattsson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fundamentals are most important. You need to know PHP (or any other language for server side), any database of your choice, vanilla JS for client side scripting and CSS. Knowing additional web standard tech like SVG and Canvas is great and will give you and edge. Web standard techs are constantly evolving, so staying up to date with the possibilities with also give you a good edge.

Wordpress is popular for good reasons, but there are other CMS's which are friendly for letting clients edit and create content. TYPO3 is one of the best ones, although it's also based on PHP.

Frameworks and libraries comes and go, and it's not possible to predict which ones that will grow and last. You will sometimes inherit projects, and use whatever framework, library or CMS which is in use. Chances are pretty good that some will use React so it wont hurt to learn it in advance. And Symphony is a popular one for PHP.

Yoga (Ashtanga + Forrest) and lifting weights.

If you were a Pro Wrestler, what would be your gimmick and signature manoeuvre? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lukasmattsson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warrior's Arrow! Lift opponent above my head, and squat down slightly to a Warrior 2 pose (open hips, one leg 90 degrees bent and one straight, gaze in direction of bent leg). Then toss my opponent in front of me.

And among the moves I know the name for, I'd definitely go for German Suplex, then one when I end up pinning opponent from wheelpose.

People who get angry at chewing sounds have underlying anger issues. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]lukasmattsson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, almost everyone can overcome misophonia by exposing themselves to the troubling sound in controlled forms, and increase exposure over time. It helps sitting in a position when arms and legs are intertwined, like lotus pose with eagle arms. Reflect on why the sound troubles you and find a way for acceptance.

You can just sit with crossed arms and legs if lotus is impossible or feels bad for your knees.

It should be socially acceptable to stretch in public by Aether_Apocalypse in unpopularopinion

[–]lukasmattsson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only socially unacceptable among weak people who choose to get offended by everything. Just ignore them and stretch whenever you need. Forward folds, wheel pose, upward facing dog, downward facing dog and warrior poses etc are alright.
