  I have set up forgejo, which is a fork of gitea. It’s a git forge, but its ticketing system is quite good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosted messenger/community software like discord⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Matrix does support voice, and I found the quality to be amazing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mice⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah all this free energy waiting to be harvested

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you started planing this years garden plants yet? You might need these⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanted to make something similar for my mom’s garden, but yours look way better. Thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stacks for Simple Static Sites⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Another cool thing I realized - you avoid the chance of some framework updating under you and breaking everything. It’s a bit like pdf, it gets fixed and generally untouched.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stacks for Simple Static Sites⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A generator can help if you have a bunch of data that you need to convert to some html structure. I know what you are saying though, as little complexity as we can get away with, innit :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stacks for Simple Static Sites⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For this reason I’m building my own generator in Common Lisp, leveraging cl-who and parenscript. All components are descibed in one place and render as web components, which allows me to attach dynamic behaviors easily.

  This works great for business-card style sites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there academic paradigms in web frontend dev in the same way there are FP academic paradigms?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It does look pretty damn cool. One thing that bothers me is it is in the npm ecoystem :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there academic paradigms in web frontend dev in the same way there are FP academic paradigms?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Concepts like Reactive programming are widely used in web/UI contexts. The problem of connecting a UI to an underlying data set is not trivial. Several frameworks deal with this.

  As was already said, concerns like Accessibility are studied academically. They have more to do with user experience than the technology, so not sure if they match your question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some common misconceptions about programming that you'd like to debunk?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. Writing code is FUN! However that’s not the only goal there is. It’s a part of the puzzle. Perhaps it takes some maturity to reach that point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Software Disenchantment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Funnily, due to this, i often find an open source app that is way better than whatever annoyed me. Just today i used an Adobe product that got me raging. Within minutes i installed an oss equivalent that was a joy to use in comparison. It’s an interesting trend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which hardware do you use and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The lite is a tablet, which might be perfect for me, as I often work on remote machines anyway. Framework seemed pricier to me with some nice extras… but I didn’t really get well acquainted. If it doesn’t pan out I’d look into framework.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which hardware do you use and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ordered the starlite a couple of weeks ago, can’t wait to test it out! delivery times are quite long, so gotta hold my breath

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to design a database without writing an analysts first but basing it on the design?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Recently discovered d2 which has a somewhat nicer syntax.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to design a database without writing an analysts first but basing it on the design?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As others said, in-depth design is often skipped, especially if the dev team started very small. Sounds like your intuition is right, though - the lack of design bit them on the ass when they realized they missed a part.

  I have also been laughed at when I suggested a UML diagram in the past. However, it is helpful. For more visually oriented people even more so.

  I’d suggest to go ahead and do it, unless your boss is adamant that it is a waste of time. When they see the result they might be happy.
