@natmiletic As a web developer? The dev console on modern browsers. Kids these days don't know the hell of blindly debugging JavaScript on IE6 😂💀

What’s a tool that you use as a web developer that you couldn’t live without?

@CervingZion @Raptors Lol it was so BS! He sarcastically told one of the clowns at the Star that he will never dunk again (then literally dunked the next game 😂), and they didn't like his suggestion of Dr J as our GM instead of Babcock, and as you mentioned his mom's parking. Petty stuff. I remember!

Schedule Release but it’s just VC yamming on the opposition

@Raptors Omg this is the best thing you guys have ever done on social media 🔥🔥🔥

@mvillator0 @hybridkarl @JonathanAGraham @MKBHD 😂🤦‍♂️💀

@hybridkarl @a_dot_a @JonathanAGraham @MKBHD ah yes, the first vr/ar headset. Apple always at the cutting edge.

Would love to see a graph of average daily Apple Vision Pro usage since launch

@JonathanAGraham @MKBHD How is it groundbreaking when oculus and other VR headsets and cheaper alternatives have existed for a while? Comparing vision pro to the mac in 1984 is a bit of a stretch 🤷‍♂️

@MKBHD IMO that’s irrelevant. Vision Pro launching in 2023 is the equivalent of the Mac launching in 1984. It’s ground breaking tech that wasn’t ready for mass market adoption at launch but eventually impacted the daily lives of billions.

@thdxr Good design is actually is at the model/schema level for true perf considerations. Restful patterns handle this perfectly with the put and patch verbs. Performance should be a backend issue and not at API level for well designed systems.

btw good test is if you can read this post and understand the point or if you can only focus on the rest api design in the example

if you have POST /user/setName /user/setEmail you will need to add /user/setNameAndEmail if you want to have a performant api if people need to do both this idea applies to apis everywhere like in stdlib - you can’t make any api performant, its design needs to factor that in

@hot_girl_spring I'm not a Java fanboy but almost everything you listed is because of a lack experience. Spring/Hibernate require a fundamental understanding of their design and impl patterns. I agree most "Java developers" suck but I feel the same way about front end devs posing as full stack 🤷‍♂️

Java is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if the choice of Kotlin were to do *nothing* but keep the Java programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use Kotlin. In other words: the choice of Kotlin is the only sane choice. I know Kodee jokingly said "to piss you off", but it's actually true. I've come to the conclusion that any programmer that would prefer the project to be in Java over Kotlin is likely a programmer that I really *would* prefer to piss off, so that he doesn't come and screw up any project I'm involved with. Java leads to really really bad design choices. You invariably start using the "nice" library features of the language like Spring and Hibernate and other total and utter crap, that may "help" you program, but causes: - infinite amounts of pain when they don't work (and anybody who tells me that Spring and especially Hibernate are stable and portable is just so full of BS that it's not even funny) - inefficient abstracted programming models where two years down the road you notice that some abstraction wasn't very efficient, but now all your code depends on all the nice object models around it, and you cannot fix it without rewriting your app. In other words, the only way to do good, efficient, and system-level and portable Java ends up to limit yourself to all the things that are basically available in Kotlin. And limiting your project to Kotlin means that people don't screw that up, and also means that you get a lot of programmers that do actually understand low-level issues and don't screw things up with any idiotic "object model" crap. So I'm sorry, but for something like Android, where efficiency was a primary objective, the "advantages" of Java is just a huge mistake. The fact that we also piss off people who cannot see that is just a big additional advantage. If you want an app that is written in Java, go play with Minecraft. Really. They use a "real database". They use "nice object-oriented libraries". They use "nice Java abstractions". And quite frankly, as a result of all these design decisions that sound so appealing to some CS people, the end result is a horrible and unmaintainable mess. But I'm sure you'd like it more. Nanami

@madzadev You could accomplish a lot with 4GB but if you're talking about coding in a modern front end library, minimum 32GB 🤡

What's the bare minimum of RAM required for coding?

@metanetsoftware This game got me through university and now I play it with my kids. It's timeless and they enjoy it just as much as I did. Thanks for a great game!!!

What’s a cartoon from the past that kids today probably never heard of?

kids who would run windows defragmenter and sit and look at the little squares change colours are programmers now

@JalenRose @NBACHEV2 I needed Jalen to break it down like this to appreciate darko's player development 😂🤦‍♂️

Why international players are taking over the NBA...

it is with great sorrow that I am compelled to report that the situation is far more dire than we previously suspected

@ryanels Me

Who's in the middle 🤔

@RapsShowYo Why do you have to ruin my night like that 😭

@htmx_org I hate to sound like "old man yells at cloud" but these opinions are mainly from people that don't seem to have much experience beyond the modern frontend framework hell 🤷‍♂️

wow you people have a lot of (mostly wrong) opinions on OOP!

@MaverickAlbert5 Modern front end frameworks

Coding is fun until you meet....
