Surprisingly, your development changes don't show up when you run the production version instead.

I am expecting EVERYTHING to be borked now. Hopefully not. #brew #homebrew #macos #mac #amCoding

Yikes. In brew, upgraded postgresql which upgraded ssl certs which is triggering an upgrade of...

Spent what felt like an eternity #debugging an issue with cookies in an express js server. Turns out the max-age value in express is in milliseconds, not seconds like in the http spec for cookies. I’m sure the reason is developer convenience 🤪 #amcoding #webdev

Y'all, I've just made a #python coding breakthrough! The intermediate state between "True" and "False" is not, apparently "Frue". It took me an embarrassing amount of time to learn this.

Thoroughly enjoyed Week 0 of CS50. Spent the afternoon making a game in Scratch to satisfy the requirements of the problem set. Tomorrow, I'll try and write up some notes from the lecture. Then I need to catch up with week 1, as I'm a little behind.

I finally found out how to fix the setup for #odin #vscode debugging using LLD. I added the -linker:lld flag in addition to -debug. Seems obvious in hindsight 🤦‍♂️ Now I can set breakpoints in VSCode and inspect the memory live. Much more convenient than printf debugging. #programming #amcoding

I just discovered `git rebase --onto`

This is life-changing. 😍

#ADHS #devs, I want to test a theory: How good are you at/how are your feelings towards debugging?

Proposal to rename the type assertion operator in #TypeScript (`as`) to "gaslighting operator"

Is there a locale flag (POSIX or BCP47) to indicate how "educated" the expressions are (formulas vs formulae, choice of entirely differet words, etc.)

But I assume, this would be hard to standardize

I scored 13/28 on https://jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

But jokes aside, I had great fun—and quite a few headscratches, yaw drops, and sighs 😅

Fellow people in #softwareDevelopment: How do you do "#CodeReview post-processing", meaning what do you do with the review comments that either weren't (considered) directly actionable during the MR/PR (e.g. follow-up tickets) or contained general feedback/shortcomings that have to be addressed outside the scope of the MR/PR (e.g. improve our handbook, "replace this in the whole codebase", "we need to discuss this as a team" etc.)?

I want to make a linter rule for our team that you are not permitted to name a variable "data"

const data = JSON.parse(message)

Don't force software developers into using and producing #AI tools. If you want prompt engineers, get prompt engineers, not software developers—these are two vastly(!) different professions (for a reason!).

Otherwise, the industry will beg for coders in a decade, if even that far into the future—mark my words. Because they will either have quitted, unlearned or ever learned coding.

Well, finally got through all the dependencies I needed to do a little refactoring to document what I want to do with my fun project. Not sure if "writing documentation" is fun by itself.

Project Layout (v4.0.0, 2025-03-15)

So, the initial version of v4 project layout that explains that last year or so of my development evolution on private projects:

• Expanded philosophies
• Why I switched to Just
• My reasons for using .config/ for configuration files
• High-level use of Nix flakes including my two project setup flakes
• Standard directories on polyglot projects
