Resident PHP & Jacascript iconoclast. I still think PSR is the worst, even now that I'm on Mastodon. You might remember me from Dallas PHP and Lone Star PHP.

@ramsey oh, well if js people think its a good idea then it should double be avoided.

but also yeah trying to replicate a tech giant's current process at step 368 in their growth as a not tech giant oneself is a fools errand. everything they did was in their own interest. plus the dark basement teams of corpos that make things crazy just for job security.

client's user: "i keep getting this message when i try to register what does it mean?"

to be fair there was no "* fields marked by asterisk are required"

this form has been approved by two levels of management, for two years straight. re-reviewed twice a year. lmao.

and the api shoots out the following message on submit. they sent us the screenshot of it:

Required Field: Office

so i wonder what it meant.

@davidbisset one thing i found that can convince a lot of developers to stop doing those one liners "because its fewer vars and faster" is if the language can stop being compiled at an assembly stage.

the compilers of most languages will end up making ::temp# variables to assign the results of each call to, ergo being the same as if you had declared them yourself.

and second and third and fourth and fifth and no matter how many fucking times i glance it is clearly a gross violation of user privacy.

Experimentation in the following continues:

  1. Less code
  2. Fewer packages (1 package that depends on 50 = 51 packages)
  3. Still have robust dynamic sites

No more databases (not even flat-file). No more admin panels (that’s changing, kind of). Now I’m contemplating abandoning the belov’d front controller + router.

If you would have told the 2005 version of myself this is where I’d be 20 years later, I would’ve laughed in your face before panicking that someone would take away my precious.

amen brother. its the main reason i avoid sf2 and laravel packages as much as possible. you want one simple thing and end up consuming the entire ecosystem of 3 frameworks in my ram. nobody just writes things anymore. except me. and now you.

@elazar there's always a map-reduce guy somewhere nearby 🤣 im with you tho

my data object that wraps arrays in php, actually ended up calling the array_reduce() wrapper, accumulate(), because that makes more sense to me. its always an accumulation operation. not a reduction. but i digressify.

Please, web app developers, consider how your users will upgrade. If your upgrade process is "remove the old one, unzip the new one", then it's not an upgrade process. It's an encouragement to never upgrade.

Just released a new minor version of my “changelog-updater” GitHub Action.
https://github.com/stefanzweifel/changelog-updater-action

If the heading of a previous release in the changelog has a link to a compare view, the Action will use that URL and add a link to the updated compare view to the new release notes.

It's hard to explain this with words. The attached screenshot gives you a good example.

This previously only worked, if the changelog had a "Unreleased" heading with a link in it.

bobmagicii,
@bobmagicii@phpc.social avatar

@stefanzweifel been fighting this kind of thing too. one thing that has helped me personally is that when i need to print status messages... if i am not in "the cli app file" or 1 level of class deeper, aka my ./bin/whatever.php, then i have done it all wrong and stop.

this has helped me a lot because now i do a terminal app, and then like a terminal app... subcontroller?

so my main app will just be like DoThatStuff() new StuffDoer(this), and i do not allow cli related things to go any deeper.

@stefanzweifel this highlighted method still being called Run() on Project is a direct artifact of when i had to stop and refactor my depths lol.

@davidbisset an even bigger issue is that archive.org is not sacred anymore. they are constantly removing things from the wayback machine, to complete the historical scrubbing.

some big sites have a terrible user interface. With the size of teams behind the development of them, I don't understand they cannot do something better.
I almost think about ebay and facebook (yes I have an account for some association activities only).

hey i got a table where the primary key iterated over 1mil. its been a while most our projects are tiny.

bobmagicii,
@bobmagicii@phpc.social avatar

@oliver the database is using a 64bit unsigned, and php is 64bit signed. i cant even have a cpu count that high in my life time if it was a solid loop doing nothing.

it's bob magic iii's problem to migrate it to 128bit ints 🤣🤣🤣

bobmagicii,
@bobmagicii@phpc.social avatar

@oliver lulz im sorry thats a big oof 😅 at my first job we didn't have an int sized problem, but an indexing issue which used to require me to drain a lot of tables to an archive database so the live one could always be fast. i think thats the worst i've had to do.
