I am a frontend dev and use Firefox as much as I can. But I can't use it for development. Firefox's dev tools need to be better. I use Chrome for development because Chrome has gre…

I've been trying to use GIMP for years (since Corel destroyed Pain Shop Pro). I don't do a lot of photo manipulation so I don't put in a lot of time learning. PSP had a UI that was…

Yeah I'm not finding it compelling to listen to someone's ideas about "taste" when they think that font is tasty.

If you are having problems with Windows RDP then the problem is somewhere else along the pipeline, not RDP itself. No other remote solution I've used is even in the same ballpark a…

Keep in mind that many (most? all?) LLMs are not trained strictly on factual data, and are probably not trained to differentiate between factual and non-factual information. If you…

I interviewed for a software engineering position at USAA. After seeing the incompetence of the interviewers none of the nonsense they do surprises me.

> I’ve said this before, but Apple is forcing third party devs to be in service of Apple I got my first taste of computers on early 90's Macs and was enchanted. Within a year I dis…

I loved Chrome's debugger for years, then build tools and React ruined debugging for me. Built code largely works with source maps, but it fails often enough, and in bizarre ways, …

My thoughts exactly. JSX provides the best templating syntax I have seen - it's just JS, and it uses curly braces to delineate JS. Putting JS, or worse, custom syntax in strings is…

npx http-server (keep the "r" at the end, it's more up-to-date than the http-serve package) https://github.com/http-party/http-server

I really feel like this article should also mention the rate of formation of new stars. According to [1] Universe Magazine the James Webb telescope has revealed that more than 3,00…

GIMP is astonishingly bad. I got by for many years with Paint Shop Pro, even through its steady decline after Corel acquired it, but eventually they destroyed it. In desperation I …

Remote development is VSCode's killer feature.

This is what you get when "frontend devs aren't real devs" and every job wants a "full-stack dev" (surprise, they can't do frontend!).

I've been using uBlock Origin for many years and it used to work fine. More recently I am noticing that developers are implementing purchasing workflows that completely break if uB…

I have seen several Waymo cars stopped for no good reason or blocking the street while very slowly trying to figure out what to do.

I spent a week learning Laravel and modern PHP for a project that never materialized. I am so grateful the project never materialized, because for all the past 2 decades of improve…

Sounds like you have had the misfortune of using terrible banks. I have never had this issue with home mortgages or car loans, it was always easy to make extra payments directly to…

Staging can be a helpful alternative to micro commits. I'll write some code, make some progress, revise, and once I get a small changeset that I'm happy with I stage it. Then I'm f…

I have a bit of a preference for this approach as well, but having worked on numerous large projects I have to agree with Josh's arguments against it. Maybe on a small personal pro…

I went to the article hoping for more context, but it just leaves that statement about more than half of the crew dying without any explanation.

I failed a technical interview at a large financial institution and I'm sure the interviewers thought I was stupid. As I gazed at the atrocious code they wanted me to make changes …

Razer is a terrible company, which is tragic because they started out as an amazing hardware company. When they pivoted to being a spyware company I stopped buying their hardware. …

As a front-end dev who works with JS all the time and never writes shell scripts, every time I have to deal with shell scripts I think "I'd really rather use JS for this".

Process Explorer (from sysinternals) lists processes as a tree so it's easy to find and kill the root Chrome process. At a glance it looks like all non-root processes have a "--typ…
