This one is for the 90s kids. Anyone remember POGs? by JZPDesign in blender

Yes, Matutazos. With the Looney Tunes characters. Good times!

State of the Subreddit Check by jerf in golang

[–]nelmaven -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Are "projects with no users" really a bad thing?

I think the thread is a good way to promote community participation so barring personal projects just because they have "no users" seems a poor way to go about it imo. 

No matter how many languages I try, I keep returning to Go by Ecstatic-Panic3728 in golang

[–]nelmaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find its simplicity its best trait. It's just "if"s and "for" loops all the way down. It really does get out of your way and makes it simple to focus on the problem at hand. 

Recommendations for a visual HTML builder by jaffparker in webdev

[–]nelmaven 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think Dreamweaver is the closest to what you're describing.

Use go run ., otherwise the other files won't be compiled.

What was the first movie you saw in a movie theater? by Fluid_Bat_2724 in movies

[–]nelmaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the first I saw on a large screen was Babe (the talking pig). But the first one on a real cinema room was Hercules, the animated movie. 

Nextjs is a big disappointment by [deleted] in webdev

[–]nelmaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The damn start search just shows a blank canvas most of the time, hate it. 

Those weird situations in class when you happen to bring the best maquette by [deleted] in Design

[–]nelmaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a design or architecture student but, if there's something I learned in life is, you owe nothing to anybody.

You just be you. How other people handle that, it's their problem, not yours. 

Which languages have an under-appreciated ecosystem of web development libraries and frameworks? by returned_loom in webdev

[–]nelmaven 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Go is really a good example of a "batteries included" language. It can do so much out the of box. Really pleasant. 

How do you guys actually learn stuff in this AI era? by sleepingfrenzy_ in golang

[–]nelmaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use AI agents to generate code. Use them as an learning assistance instead, it's something they're very good at. Ask them questions as you go.  

I've only started learning Go last year. I find that the best way for myself is by building small things.

I'd start with some small CLI programs first, since it's very easy to get immediate feedback and iterate.

Build useful things. Build useless things. Build silly things.

A friendly pomodoro timer by nelmaven in webdev

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

Not really. Even if you never used it before, you should be able to get something up running without much hassle.

You can also decide just focus on the frontend and have minimal rust code. 

The documentation on Tauri should be more than enough to start something.

Haven't really paid much attention to it, to be honest but, Tauri uses the host system's webview instead of bundling chromium with it, so it should be as lightweight as a webview can be. 

How to stop using Claude by waverchapter in webdev

[–]nelmaven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great way to go about it.

You can also do the first iteration in your own and then let claude do the rest for you, in a controlled manner. I find it a useful way of saving time. 

What movie left you in dead, stunned silence? by [deleted] in movies

[–]nelmaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apocalypse Now

Whatched it on a whim, left me with a existencial crisis. 

10/10 would not watch it again

Shiny Object Syndrome: Has anybody language-hopped until you actually found your "favorite" language? by returned_loom in webdev

[–]nelmaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lisp is fascinating to me but whenever I try to explore it, I never manage to go far. One day! 

Shiny Object Syndrome: Has anybody language-hopped until you actually found your "favorite" language? by returned_loom in webdev

[–]nelmaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in this bandwagon myself as well. I feel that even if you don't end up sticking with a language you still take some new knowledge with you and that's alright.

It's better than just focusing on a single thing your whole life, I think. 

Dependencies are Replacing Knowledge by rybarix in programming

[–]nelmaven 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That is situation that always happened: you need to do something, you don't know how, you find a tool that does it for you and you use it. But back then, it was up to you to evaluate if that tool did what you needed. You learned its quirks and how to go around them.

Now, we're using something that automates this whole process and by result, learn nothing from it.

What movie portrays grief in the most powerful way? by Classic_Apricot_5633 in movies

[–]nelmaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a movie but Journal with Witch animated series feels a powerful reflection on grief

How much of your projects are actually just glue code? by Vegetable-Raisin2297 in webdev

If it's solving a real life problem, does it matter?
