@peterfox Is it bad that I'm still using mod_php? 😅

How many people have actually made the switch from PHP-FPM to FrakenPHP? And if not, why not?

@sickdotdev Terminal or IDE, although I'm considering getting a Mac mini and running remote control via my phone

As a Claude Code user, where do you actually use it? 1. IDE 2. Phone 3. Terminal

@hiarun02 You're learning how to recognize good code, how all the components of a system work together, data structures and syntax. It may no longer take four years to master that. It also may no longer be called Computer Science. Reading code is still a skill that you need.

Honest question: If AI can write the code, fix the bugs, review the PRs, deploy the app, and secure the system What exactly are we spending 4 years in CS degrees learning? Syntax?, Or how to think?

@vibeonX69 lol Google Docs

Developers, where do you actually store your code? 1️⃣ GitLab 2️⃣ GitHub 3️⃣ Google Docs 4️⃣ WhatsApp

@trikcode Hiiii!

So is @moltbook where we're all going when we die?

When I'm working with dates on the web, I like to make them as accessible as possible.

Finally got around to documenting my @OmarchyLinux configs for my Acer C720. Enjoy! #c720 #omarchy #linux #hyprland #arch franklinstrube.com/blog/acer-c720…

@dev_maims Pretty much, yeah.

As a programmer, can you spend one month in this space without going out if you have a full supply of food and network?

@yuvalavra @awscloud Wow! Talk about a perfect storm!

We hacked the AWS JavaScript SDK, a core library powering the entire @AWScloud ecosystem - including the AWS Console itself 🤯 How did we do it? Just two missing characters was all it took. This is the story of #CodeBreach 🧵👇

@gothburz Time is a construct.

My manager asked how long it would take to fix the bug. I said two weeks. It took forty minutes. But now I have two weeks of buffer. That's called experience. Here's how it works. Every estimate I give has a multiplier. The multiplier depends on who's asking. My manager asks: multiply by 4. A VP asks: multiply by 6. The CEO asks: multiply by 10 and add "dependencies." Dependencies are other teams. Other teams are always slow. Even when they're not involved. Especially when they're not involved. Nobody checks. The bug took forty minutes. I fixed it Monday morning. I didn't tell anyone until Thursday afternoon. That's three days of buffer. Buffer is protection. Protection from the next ask. Because the moment you finish something fast, they ask for something else. Finish the bug in an hour? Great, can you also look at this other thing? Finish it in two weeks? Great, take the afternoon off. You earned it. I earned it by lying about how long things take. That's not how they'd describe it. They'd call it "managing expectations." I'm managing expectations. My expectations are that I don't want to work that hard. When I was junior, I gave honest estimates. "That'll take about two hours." My reward? Four more tasks that day. Then I watched the senior engineers. They said "end of week" for everything. Everything was "end of week." A config change? End of week. A one-line fix? End of week. A meeting that could've been an email? End of week. They were never stressed. I was always stressed. I learned. Now I'm senior. Now everything is "end of week." Or "end of sprint." Sprint is two weeks. Two weeks is forever. Forever is comfortable. Sometimes someone pushes back. "Can we do it faster? This is urgent." I pause. I look concerned. "Let me see what I can do." Then I deliver in three days instead of two weeks. I'm a hero. I wasn't faster. I was honest about the original timeline. But the compression makes me look dedicated. "He really hustled on this one." I didn't hustle. I just stopped lying for a moment. Strategic honesty. Delivered at the right time. After enough fake delays. The best part is nobody tracks this. Nobody says, "He estimated two weeks but finished in forty minutes." They say, "He finished ahead of schedule." Ahead of schedule. I set the schedule. I beat the schedule I invented. That's exceeding expectations. I'm exceeding expectations. My performance review says I'm "highly reliable" and "consistently delivers." I am reliable. I reliably estimate 10x what things take. And I consistently deliver. Right before my fake deadline. That's called being senior. New engineers burn out because they're honest. I padded my way to work-life balance. My manager asked why I always seem so calm. I said, "Experience." Experience means I've learned to lie about time. Professionally. With a straight face. And a buffer that could fit a vacation. That's engineering.

i am a Vibe Coder, scare me with one word

@mattstauffer @calebporzio Laravel doesn't hide the fact that it's built on PHP. Saying "Not writing a line of your own JavaScript" is correct, but saying "It's not JavaScript" is incorrect. Saying "It's not JavaScript" or "No JavaScript" can be misconstrued that there is zero JavaScript under the hood.

@strube @calebporzio Yes? And Laravel is just PHP under the hood. Does that make it less useful? What’s your point?

Livewire 4 is FINALLY HERE ⚡⚡⚡ It's insane to me what can be achieved without writing a single line of JavaScript. We did it ❤️

Love it! But...how is it NOT JavaScript? Isn't it just compiled to Blade + JavaScript under the hood?

This is a pretty riveting disclosure. I'm considering holding off on @claudeai Cowork until it's resolved. Or at least running it in a sort of air gapped environment. promptarmor.com/resources/clau…
