#12I’m seriously confused about Aista. After https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32618797 a couple of days ago which is an absurd and utterly groundless criticism of GraphQL (and there seems to be a follow-up post now which I find even more baffling), one user there suggested the whole thing was trolling, and looking through a handful of other articles on that site I became more inclined to accept that the whole was a parody because so many of them are so extreme to the point of absurdity and caricature, and that the product almost epitomises some of the sorts of problems the articles are complaining about, and various other popular insanities in the software world (like inventing yet another pseudo-declarative probably-mostly-imperative programming language in YAML—so passé).
But… there also looks to be an awful lot of work gone into it, and it seems like it’s actually a real thing, that people use to do real stuff? And you have articles like this that seem serious and realistic? I just don’t understand what’s going on.
Yours sincerely,
Honestly Confused

#14Can’t bang the drum loud enough for how good Gitpod is. If you’re a Gitlab user it’s baked right into the services too: https://www.gitpod.io/
Makes jumping on multiple branches super useful right from an device as portable as a iPad or iPhone.

#15Might be useful for those living in poverty and don't have access to a PC?
...but have "€49 per month" to spend: https://aista.com/pricing/

I use it for work stuff. The $6 Digital Ocean droplets is enough to run it & a java compiler. All my code now lives there, local machine is basically empty. So when roaming between different networks & workstations (office, home), it's super simple. Just open up vs code and continue on. Only need ssh for it work. Oh and a stable internet connection makes a big difference.

#18Hijacking the article, but has somebody managed to find a good iPhone/iPad keyboard for coding? I’m still able to do Python with the default keyboard, but I press a lot of times the symbol key.
The Wolfram Alpha custom keyboard on Android is absolutely the best keyboard for coding.

The Visual Studio Code server, which literally lets you attach a real machine to vscode.dev, also exists: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/vscode-server
(The proxy service is invite only, but you can host the 100% local version using serve-local)

The way that company has posted blog where they seem to have complete lack of understanding what graphql is and their comments on dev.to show a huge amount of disrespect.
The blogs posts comments themselves shows the company's author of these seems dense, rude and unknowledgeable in what they argue. Which also means their product they are making is likely being made by the same mindset.
Definitely wouldn't trust them.
It seems also like a ploy to get attention, which is definitely gonna keep me away from their product.
Seriously, check out these comment section. It's like they posted about something they have no clue about and then are gonna defend it to their grave regardless if they are wrong.
Wait until some security flaw comes out and this attitude makes them unwilling to admit they are wrong. Gross.
