@nbevans It is designed for them… but more and more professionals use it too I guess. We’re not their target market though which is a shame.

Why does Discord always look like it's designed for teenagers? Maybe there was a memo I missed

@nbevans The API is a bit clunky but yes been using it for a few years.

SSE server sent events was ahead of its time It's so good

@ibuildthecloud Yeah there are a lot of issues with Linux too. I even got a weird issue on Linux that meant I’d have to either develop as a root user or run all testing in a container due to security around ICMP. Just stupid

I really wish everyone would just develop in Linux. It's really the best development environment. Supporting other operating systems is just a pain. Also, Linux is way faster for dev. I think it's mostly file system and the lack of BS security scanners.

@BlakeWhittle7 It sorta is rocket science for some people. I've had some weird migrations over the years, plugins specific to a host (crashes site when moved) or hard coded assumptions but these are uncommon. DNS and Domains is where I've found most just have no idea.

I swear I am the only agency who knows how to migrate a site. Another agency is taking over one of our clients, and they want to schedule 2 calls with us for the migration, WP Access, SFTP, and a database dump. All of which I've provided them. Not rocket science.

@DanielW_Kiwi Gold!

@Smaug12345 @DanielW_Kiwi @Jimmy_Byrd Nice. Anywhere I can follow the project?

@mjblacker @DanielW_Kiwi @Jimmy_Byrd SharpLsp uses FCS and is therefore too slow. I am hosting a C# sidecar but implementing F# myself.

Is there a functional language that has a good type system and fast compile times?

@Aaronontheweb I guess I'm out of the loop not being a TS dev. Dotnet has been fairly drama free though for the way too many years using it. Same with PHP mostly too.

Disagreements in the .NET community: mostly polite Disagreements in the Typescript community:

@awesomekling I use my wife as the does the UX suck measure.... get real time emotional feedback. Not sure I really want her using something I have to maintain.

If you're a married programmer and your wife isn't using at least one of your custom apps daily, you're missing out on one of the most rewarding experiences in programming. Build wifeware!! 🤓

@potetm I'll try for top mid dev

want a real black pill? if money is your goal, you probably don’t wanna be the Top Dev.

@potetm @DanielW_Kiwi Daniel's a big boy so makes sense

@DanielW_Kiwi @mjblacker yes. but not as loose as ur mom.

@potetm @mjblacker Please continue

@potetm @DanielW_Kiwi I think I found you from checking out Clojure. ... don't have time to check it out in more detail just yet... must resist

@mjblacker @DanielW_Kiwi i forgot you’re a newer follower. i used to post a lot about how awesome clojure is and i stan it. clojure dynatypes are good frfr tho.

@ThePrimeagen Looking at the code is still insanely valuable, now reviewing every line the AI generates probably not so much. Is it a basic tool you'll use a couple time? Sure who cares Scaling a bigger system that handles finances or other important business, you'll get fired not the AI

I find that is you are going to generate a bunch of code, knowing the interfaces, structs, and functions will lead to much better outcomes. Being the bottleneck is ok, your ideas are not that great.

@potetm @DanielW_Kiwi yeah I had some intrusive thoughts while writing my original post

@mjblacker @DanielW_Kiwi the prompt was “good”

@awesomekling Yeah, I leave bad grammar in emails on purpose as it's more me and how I used to communicate. AI makes everything so... plain. As an Aussie it's amazing how many of our kids friends sound american from all the TV/YT they watch.... sometimes mine too, so painful.

It doesn’t matter whether you use LLMs or not. Other people use them extensively, so all human communication is now infected. Same way people don’t really have accents as much anymore, our language is being sanded down by exposure, homogenized.

@Smaug12345 @DanielW_Kiwi @Jimmy_Byrd SharpLsp? Was checking that out the other day, very interesting

@DanielW_Kiwi @Jimmy_Byrd Do you want a fast editor experience, or do you truly want fast compilation? Because I *am* about 30% of the way through a fast LSP for F#.

@potetm @DanielW_Kiwi But the type system is very loose right?

@DanielW_Kiwi clojure

@Aron_Adler @DanielW_Kiwi Yea.... no It's okay and not bad but it without incremental builds it sucks for slightly bigger projects. I actively avoid doing small server side changes in a safe stack proj due to the longer rebuild times. Still love F# though

@DanielW_Kiwi F#

@kristijan_kralj Interesting, I’ve done this a lot with PHP and a few other languages but never had the need in dotnet. Certainly something open for some AI slop to help fill the gap but most dotnet has been going away from open source not towards it.

PDF is the main bottleneck of modern .NET development: 1. ASP .NET Core can handle thousands of requests per second, but exporting to PDF still means installing 3 NuGet packages, reading 5 GitHub issues, and hoping fonts don't explode in production. 2. We have async/await, background jobs, cloud autoscaling, and distributed systems, yet the moment the business says "Can we just get a small PDF with a table and a logo?" the whole sprint is gone. 3. We can model complex domains, enforce invariants, and scale systems to millions of users, but aligning a table header in a PDF still feels like dark magic. .NET devs, know your enemies.

@DanielW_Kiwi Your wife is a racist xenophobe

I added cheese to my wife's Asian cooking and she called me Korean. What does this mean?

@potetm Yeah that one

@potetm Haha I think I did this with one of your posts. Though it’s hard for me to rage out over twitter. Move on. You do have a way with speaking in absolutes that confuses people, even if that wasn’t the intent. Myself included.

ok self meta analysis. there is this thing that happens (both irl and on twitter) where i say something, someone misunderstands me, they disagree (based on their misunderstanding), we go back and forth. i explain that they misunderstood me. i explain what i actually meant. 1/
