That's what I said. Parent said > There's value in having your backtrace surfaced to end users

> You can even do what I did in the first program I ever wrote and use php code as a storage format. __halt_compiler() is fantastic for this (mixing code + data). I've done it a fe…

Might be better to think of the LLM as the student, and you're an imposter tutor. You're trying to assess the kid's knowledge without knowing the material yourself, but the kid is …

My manager gave me gruff the other day for adding a TODO that I had no intention of ever doing. TODOs are like a get out of jail free card. Don't want to do something the reviewer …

I've declared quality bankruptcy. Decisions are now driven by user needs. Did I half-ass that feature? Yes. Is anyone actually using it despite crying it's essential? No. Then it's…

> Always write the simplest thing you can, but no simpler. I don't think so. Time and time again the client will insist on stuff like "the customer only needs a single email addres…

I've come to understand the difference between programmer and software engineer, but what's the difference between (software) developer and programmer?

Just drop the flat fee. Stripe is 2.9% + 30c. If they did 3% and no flat fee, then on $1 you'd get 97 cents instead of less than 70. I assume the CC companies are charging a flat f…

Hopefully the work was underway for awhile already, and maybe they just launched it now because the damage is already done?

I thought it was pretty good actually. Most of these leak disclosures usually say things like "We do not have evidence they accessed any secrets" or something like that, because th…

probably the URL got cut off and the base64 got corrupt.

I used to use VSCode for this but then they went and effed it up by adding so much spam to the app. If I happened to have an SSH open connection previously, it just reconnects to t…

base64 is the opposite of compressed. Does it actually apply compression before base64-encoding? Doesn't really look like it by watching the URL.

Should have used base65536.

99% sure Chrome will sync your search settings across devices if you log in. Firefox and Vivaldi also let you log into the browser and sync.

I'd give up instantly and outsource it to a SaaS. I'm no expert on email but I know enough to know it's a PITA and managing delivery is a thing, and you have to make sure your DNS …

I was trying to fetch key-value pairs out of a database using PHP+PDO the other day and I knew there was a nice easy to do it but I couldn't remember how. Something about fetchAll,…

I especially like when I'm looking for a particular method on a class I've never used before and it just makes one up for me as though it exists.

But TypeScript and C# are both awesome.

I both game and program on Windows. I don't know what people are crying about. I've got Docker. I've got WSL. I've got a high quality IDE (IntelliJ). Everything works and runs grea…

I tried to do the pre-signed URL thing but gave up quickly. I don't know how you'd do it properly. You're going to want a record of that in your database, right? So what, you have …

Haha. Auto-correct. I think I meant light "work" editing maybe??
