"M'énerve" is one of those expressions that French can convey in such a better way than English or Spanish, it just hits different

Your typical #startup be like:

"We're using #AWS <insert ridiculous list of aws services with all bells and whistles> so we're super scalable and blah blah <insert hype words that didn't exist a year ago>..."

When they don't even have users to justify any of that. #Scaling is good and should be a concern but NOT the only one

Building a good product rarely requires all that hype-driven stuff from day one. Most products could easily run everything in a raspberry (not that you should)

Act 1: Microsoft buys #GitHub

Act 2: Libre Andy #OpenSource folks freak out and jump ship

Act 3: Everyone else tells them "mIcRoSoFt iS nOt lIkE tHaT aNyMoRe"

Act 4: Microsoft introduces GitHub #Copilot

Act 5: People freak out because #Microsoft turned out to be EXACTLY what you'd expect

You can easily tell who has made contributions to #OpenSource projects and who hasn't when they freak out about having an upstream repository.

Never trust a #developer who brags about not having to check the documentation or google things

Ah yes, makes perfect sense...

Client: Here's a project some team in India made for me during 4 years *proceeds to send 5 different code bases with no documentation whatsoever*

Me: Ok...

Client: So how much time do you think it will take you to <insert unreasonable request here>

Me: *Dies internally*

Just another day making decisions...

"Get #Discord for any device"

Unless that device happens to be an #Android phone with no #GooglePlay services that is.

#GoogleIO

Me: I need a 64GB RAM pc to survive

Also me: This 4GB RAM chromebook will do

Back in 2015, I noticed searching the web for colors to use for any project was one of the tasks I did quite frequently.

At the same time, I was amazed by #Panic's #Coda code editor which was able to use HTML sites as toolbars and thus, #Colors was born.

"The last color palette you'll ever need" I labeled it and 6 years later I still find myself coming back to it every time I need a good color.

Nothing like having an Angular-Typescript-Ionic dependency deadlock to end this week

Facebook: Here's our API!

Anyone: Awesome! Can I use it for X?

Facebook: No

Anyone: Ok, how about Y?

Facebook: No

Anyone: ... So what can I use it for?

Facebook: To replicate facebook functionality within your app I guess

Anyone: -.-

Cambridge Analytica: Can I use it for all my shady goals?

Facebook: Sure, do whatever you want! Love to help :D

App Approval Process Navigator should be an official job title. #Apple is bad but #Facebook is just the worst.

#Intel knows they can't afford to loose the marketing battle against #Apple's M1 or they'll never recover.

#Cordova, #Ionic, #React Native are all good until you need native stuff. Plugins are not good on the long run, do yourself a favor and just do a native app the moment you require native features.

Harry Potter and the Linux Android Studio Installation that Just Worked

Layered sprites has been one of the most requested features in @MonogatariEngine and it seems we finally have an initial implementation for it! 🎉

Currently it seems to work fine for layers that all have the same size and also for layers of different sizes with positioning by percentages on CSS.

Of course lots of testing is still required but at least we finally got some progress. Here's a small demo:

Dear #developers,

Indent your #code correctly and consistently

Fix your typos, don't just use the same mistake over and over

Don't over simplify your variable or functions names, you are not writing a telegram

If you're not writing #documentation (I get it, it's tedious and most clients won't see value in that and thus neglect it or simply won't pay for it), at least document how to get a project setup and running
