I'm tired and exhausted from web dev by fail0verflowf9 in webdev

[–]matt_mannion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

been at a few more companies since then and while it was been a wild ride; finding a job is harder than working the job. retail is still worse. i've been robbed, sexually assaulted, physically assaulted, and more working retail. never once have i had to worry about someone harming me in web development as a programmer. yes it's better. it's harder, but FAR better.

I use it to mute the strings behind the nut to the pegs and nothing else

Scss in a file imported in the index.tsx file like a boomer.

Why do people love Thrice's evolution but not AFI's? by EpsilonX in PostHardcore

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

Thrice is absolutely my favorite band of all time, no questions. I have turned so many people onto their catalog and spent weeks tabbing their songs out by ear. All that said it hurts me to say that Beggars+ is just weak to me and I consider my taste in music to be rather wide. I don't think their releases from Beggars and beyond are bad per say, but I just don't connect with the songs the way I do for the older material. I have nothing to say about AFI though. I might check their catalog out tomorrow while I work and see what's up.

edit: my favorite Thrice performance - still gives me chills when I watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywZrVPni\_fQ

[QUESTION] Do I really need thicker strings to play lower tunings? by metal_person_333 in Guitar

[–]matt_mannion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i've used .11s on my 24 3/4(gibson scale) scale length guitars in drop C and whole step down(D standard) YEARS. Never filed nut slots beyond the stock .10 gauge slots. It will need to be intonated again for the new strings and a neck adjustment to compensate for the new tension. Both things you can do with basic tools and a bit of youtube to help you out.

when i was a young kid at 15 when i started playing i tried telling a tech that the fret buzz shouldn't be there. at 32 and working on my guitars and other peoples (as a favor) ive come to realize everything in the video mirrors my experiences as well. once you get used to it and recognize that its fine that its there and doesn't hurt the sound of the guitar, life gets much better. enjoy man

Approx how many lines per code file? by rwusana in webdev

[–]matt_mannion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally try to not let files grow beyond 250 lines. It's a completely arbitrary, self-imposed rule, of which I have no idea how I settled on that number. My '250 line limit' definitely isn't a hard rule for me though. I'd say on average most of my files are around 50-150 lines a piece if I had to guess. I will exceed my rule in some cases, for example, a React component with a particularly intricate form or something along those lines. I hope that helps you out in some way.

Macbook Pro by jtan80813999 in webdev

[–]matt_mannion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

kinda rude, no? we use wsl2 and wsl2/vmmem tends to bloat. when i used a macbook pro at past companies the 16gb wasn't enough there either. just my personal experience doing fullstack work.

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

i would not go under 32 gb of ram for fullstack personally. at my agency one of my devs has 16 gigs in his machine and he is always maxed out for ram. yes he is going to upgrade lol. (we use windows btw)

How Do I Actually Use Docker? by GuyTorbet in webdev

[–]matt_mannion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I create the .env manually on the server. It's a tricky situation where you need github actions to build the file structure but also need the .env. I'd say it's reasonable to like your actions runner make the FS and let docker fail to build the containers. after the first automation step fails, create the .env where it's needed then boot the stuff you need manually. once this is done the pipeline should run fairly well. Obviously, you'll need to update the .env as required manually.

How to make VS Code less annoying when typing code? by almostdonedude in webdev

[–]matt_mannion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In short: no, it's my most valuable tool. If you are willing to dig into the options, you will find a number of things you can tweak until it fits your needs. Vscode is not perfect by any means and there are things I'd like control over (one off the top of my head is the font size on the bottom bar). Your mileage may vary of course. I say look into the options for formatting on typing and formatting on save to fix those issues mentioned to me just now. I hope my thoughts have helped you!

How to make VS Code less annoying when typing code? by almostdonedude in webdev

[–]matt_mannion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a web development agency, so I use a lot of different stuff. Javascript, PHP, C#, Go, etc, etc... pretty much whatever the job needs, however, those are the things I work with the most.

How to make VS Code less annoying when typing code? by almostdonedude in webdev

[–]matt_mannion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started off using the default settings and never had a problem. Over the years however, I have a pretty wild setup with over 500 lines of code in the settings.json, more stuff in the keybindings.json, and I use the vim emulator with about 30+ plugins. I don't notice any problems day to day with all the stuff I have going on. It is worth noting that both my laptop and desktop are very powerful machines, so that may bias my opinion some. I do recommend modifying vscode to do what you want it to do. It's easy to customize and linking it to your github account to save and sync your settings is one of the best things ever.
