@kboyd This is also a very interesting discussion over on Bluesky. It seems that Bluesky is really just a proof-of-concept for the protocol, and it’s not Jack’s intention that the service stick around but that other services take its place.
@justin@ramsey@kboyd you can generate a lot of media buzz with a “decentralized” protocol that has a suspicious amount of centralized single points of failure
So I know there are tons of brilliant #coders on here & I have a question. One of my biggest challenges is #IDE ...
I've been using notepad for #JavaScript, #PHP & #html & #css which I know is really holding me back, but... I don't want an IDE that looks like the inside of a space shuttle cockpit.
Is there an IDE out there that is simple, elegant, & doesn't take up 30GB of disk space while also having essential features like:
Visually shows the relationship between code & output in real-time?
@tseitr Its really just these lines. Data gets retrieved from the database via a function call (returns an associative array), and then immediatedly encoded to and decoded from JSON.
@itsjoshbruce Copying whole chunks of code unchanged is usually a code smell. Copying and adjusting for each new context can be better than factoring out common code unless you have a good understanding that will ensure stable/understandat common code.
For example, I worked on a project ([1]) that had patterned code (almost "crystalline"). We abstracted some things, but left some repetition, even using codegen to write some of the code. Worked fine!
@pwaring I like that approach but that's not exactly what I am looking for. Without looking at runtime and user behavior, I'd like to know what methods my app depends most on. Like, what are the methods with the highest probability to be called based on their number of usages in the code.
@iCaspar sorry to hear that. My day to day development machine is a Linux box. I'm just doing some live demos at #tek23, and for the first time in a very long time, my portable system is Windows.
