Bon ben mes craintes étaient donc fondées... Je signe la semaine pro une rupture conventionnelle à l'initiative de mon employeur (raisons économiques ; je me disais aussi que ça devait être compliqué de verser des salaires quand y'a pas de projets).
Du coup si vous connaissez des boites de #dev sympas sur #lyon, inclusives, humaines et qui bossent sur du #laravel (ou #symfony à la limite), éventuellement du #vue (junior), du #git et avec une bonne organisation, n'hésitez pas à balancer :-)
Today I built a silly webpage by hand in a couple of hours. (I’m not going to tell you what it was, except that it was frivolous af.)
I started out by looking for a template, but everything I found was way too involved, so I ended up writing the HTML and CSS from scratch, throwing it in a cloud-hosted directory, and nudging the DNS settings to point there.
This turned out to be a ridiculously nostalgic experience. I built a lot of weird little websites like this when I was about eleven years old, saving the HTML of sites that I liked so that I could access them when the phone line was being used by someone else, and changing pieces around to figure out how it all fit together.
It struck me that:
a) by this measure I’ve been doing web dev for almost a quarter-century now 😳
b) there is nothing stopping me from making websites this way. I can still write HTML and yeet it out there if I want to, no matter what it’s for. Pages load quickly. It’s not fancy. It works. Underneath it all, the web is still there.
If you feel so inclined, I can highly recommend seizing an afternoon, taking a silly webpage idea, and having a play.
Any software developers in my reach currently unemployed? I am, and while I’m working on a few side projects, I miss not having a team to bounce ideas and random dev chit-chat on a daily basis.
Anyone feeling the same or open to have some informal group chat? Or know a small community I could join?
I started reading this article about Microsoft's dominance of modern software development, and I'm increasingly convinced that regulatory action may be needed.
Here's the quote: "The future of software development tooling that is being built is closed as fuck, and people seem to be okay with it because select components meet the OSI definition whilst missing the bigger picture that the compositional graph of components does not." #dev#devops#code#opensource
GNOME is moving to standard ESM imports for extensions in version 45. This means all existing extensions will break. Please try and update yours before then.

I'm a big proponent of doing fewer if statements and early returns! Doing stuff in your if statements only increases cognitive load when trying to read the code.
public function sendActivationEmail($user) {
if (! $user->isActivated) {
// Send out activation email
}
}
versus.
public function sendActivationEmail($user) {
if ($user->isActivated) {
return;
}

So did I mention that no company or government pays me for the work I do?
But you can support my work if you want to live in a world where we have the Small Web as an alternative to the Big Web of Google, Facebook, and other people farmers.
