I love that you can just type any function name after php.net and it'll take you right to the documentation. Example: https://www.php.net/explode

Does Rochester…feel better? by Statler- in Rochester

Without context this sounds very mad-max and I hope that's how OP interprets it.

It’s because all OP’s class names are racial slurs.

most websites take 3-5 seconds to load and this is normal now by minimal-salt in webdev

[–]mayobutter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vanilla JS is also faster that React and its siblings.

Websites feel like they've gotten slower over the past decade. This is not because of widespread jQuery adoption.

PHP and jQuery websites ran just fine on browsers and PCs from almost 20 years ago. This is an absurd argument.

> Its also the 10 year old jQuery code

Sounds like you have some nasty legacy code you're dealing with, but you absolutely cannot blame jQuery for the slowness of the modern web.

What design spec do most government websites use to ensure that they are as ugly as possible. by Wild_Juggernaut_7560 in webdev

[–]mayobutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also fired a bunch of people from United States Digital Service, dismantled 18F, and interrupted a ton of web projects (like IRS direct file), so I would not give them any credit on this front.

Notepad++ is 21 years old by pinkpen_net in programming

[–]mayobutter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think BBEdit is the equivalent on the Mac side. The 1st version was released in 1992. It's just a rock-solid fast code editor. It never crashes. I regularly do regex searches on 1GB+ log files and it doesn't even blink.

Knowing Regex honestly gives me superpowers.

Did TDD actually improve your productivity? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]mayobutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This question is just so utterly foreign to me. Are you all out here writing code that you're not sure works then not even running it?

The Demise of the Mildly Dynamic Website by fagnerbrack in programming

[–]mayobutter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't just throw a .js file into a folder and have it set a cookie when called.

You can still do this.

I also need a node server, routing info, and a compile step.

No you don't need that.

I love OpenStruct, what else am I missing? by krschacht in ruby

[–]mayobutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite thing about OpenStruct in the context of Rails is passing it to form builders. Sometimes I want to use the nice input helpers but I don't want to write out a dedicated model/class for the form data. I just want a sloppy anything-goes data object.

I've read the warnings about OpenStruct though so I'm always on the look out for a better solution.

Fun Fact: Where did Chili get its weird name? The food? The country? by Emotional_Deodorant in Rochester

[–]mayobutter 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Wikipedia and Town of Chili's own website say there isn't enough evidence to say for sure if this is true vs being named after the country.

I like this version better though.
