I used to love Foundation, but it had too many bugs that weren't getting fixed. Now it looks dead :)

Good aim!

You're over-thinking it, dark-noodz. Truth is subjective, opinionated, and bears no relation to facts. It is an abstract concept that serves a lot of different emotional purposes -…

This might be Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome and not insomnia. I suffered from it for years and years before I was able to train myself into falling asleep. And then I suffered from …

Yes, 100%.

I recommend learning JavaScript, not a framework to begin with, and especially not something that smurfs with the DOM paradigm as much as React does. Learning React will make you a…

Adapting the second novel might be a better choice, or some mixture of the two.

This is fine. In our situation we also kept a couple of summary tables in the regular database so we could track things that we commonly queried (like total visits per country, aut…

Literally the only reason I pay for YT Premium is to get rid of ads. I don't use any other features of it - I just don't want ads. The modern web is so bad that premium services on…

I've never dived (dove? doven?) into the output of an HTML minimizer, but I assumed this was one of the things it would do - remove all optional tags while retaining the same DOM t…

You could do a custom WP plugin that provides a single page with everything they need. It doesn't have to be in the admin section, just a password-protected page. That way you stay…

It varies, same as so many things :) You can concentrate on finding work within a narrow range where you feel expert in, or spread the net wider and take on work that lets you lear…

Best of luck. I've been in this grind for about 35 years now, very similar history. Two suggestions that might help: * switch careers * freelance full-time If you have any other ta…

"Compostable" is correct :D React is what happens when you misunderstand the purpose (and principle) of web components, then double-down and encourage framework-related libraries t…

Sorry, your site is unusable and largely unreadable without hardware acceleration - is that really necessary?

You wait until you line up something better. Or until you save enough to support your lifestyle for a year. Or until you decide to say "screw it" and live in a shack on a mountain …

The problem isn't limited to people learning frameworks instead of languages; I work with developers who don't know the network stack at all - no concept (beyond the bare basics) o…

Was this AI generated? It claims that JavaScript wasn't invented in the 1900's, but I'm pretty sure it was in browsers by the mid-90's.

Agreed. My company puts out terrible code that only mostly works. I was literally laughed at when I suggested we start documenting things and adding tests. This is a dev team of ar…

Why does this require WebGL and hardware acceleration in order to see anything but a large, blank space?

Has a similarity to https://insanewriters.net/ :)

I'm not sure I ever understood this decision. Stories posted on FB (for example) generated clicks - this is good, and if the numbers in this story can be believed, accounted for 90…

Mostly I just refer to it as `id`. The only time I'll explicitly use `guid` or `uuid` as a field/property name is if it's semantically important - which is almost never.

One company I work with is using ChatGPT to have email conversations with clients and booking appointments via API (including checking availability and rescheduling). It's pretty h…
