Why would anyone recommend their company to use Oracle stuff these days? Oracle should give kickbacks to people that recommend to use Oracle Database, Java, or VirtualBox in their company so they’ll keep at it /s

Won’t this cause subtle but serious issue? Kinda like how pomegranate translates to “granada” in Spanish, but when you translate “granada” back to English it translates to grenade?

How do you sanitize ai prompts? With more prompts?

If we fire all developers and allow AIs to program themselves, the AIs are going to commit virtual seppuku after a few days.

the tests are now larger than the thing itself

The purpose of the code is to make the tests pass.

They usually have a read only channel where the devs post how-to’s and tutorials. You know, something that could’ve been put into a wiki or documentation site instead.

Virtually all of new projects created after certain years. Younger devs prefer setting up a discord server first than setting up a documentation site/wiki. I feel old.

Do they strip off HTTPS somehow?

Well yes, how else they can provide their services such as page caching, image optimizing, email address obfuscation, js minifications, ddos mitigation, etc unless they can see all data flowing between your server and your visitors in the clear?

Cloudflare is basically an MITM proxy. This blog post might be helpful if you want to know how mitm proxy works in general: https://vinodpattanshetti49.medium.com/how-the-mitm-proxy-works-8a329cc53fb

I’m truly torn with this. The first one seems sensible (action -> target) and easier to read and reason about (especially with long names), while the other one looks more organized, naturally sortable and works great with any autocompletion system.

Remember when google was beloved by everyone back then when they’re still have “don’t be evil” motto? Cloudflare right now is like google back then: super useful, provides a lot of free services that would be expensive on other providers. But unlike google, if cloudflare go full evil in the future, the impact will be much larger because they’re an mitm proxy capable of seeing unencrypted traffics across all websites under their wing. Right now they’re serving ~30% of top 10,000 websites and growing.

They don’t say unlimited, but they also won’t say the limit of their reverse proxy service. It’s intentionally vague.

Regardless of who’s right or wrong in this dispute, it’s just another example of why getting deep into cloud vendor lock in is not great for your company. If you went balls deep into cloudflare’s offering, e.g. using cloudflare workers, kv, cloudflare access, etc, you can’t afford to get kicked out of cloudflare for any reason. What are you gonna do when their sales rep tells you to pay more this year? Refusing is not an option because it’ll screw your company hard.

I always knew my English teacher was impolite.

So you can put raw chicken meat inside your armpit and it’s done? Sounds legit.

Preact is actually usable without build tools. It can be loaded like the good ol’ jQuery in modern browsers.

He wouldn’t make that statement unless he experienced the horror himself.

Now, if he still does it these days…

Your first few programming languages usually influence you the most for the rest of your career.

Ah, must’ve been a fortran developer. I swear they have this ability to make the shortest yet the least memorable variable names. E.g. was the variable called APFLWS or APFLWD? Impossible to remember without going back and forth to recheck the definition. Autocomplete won’t help you because both variables exist.

When I was a teenager, I made a page in Word, saved it as html, then uploaded it to geocities. Good times.

We all got into this mess because some scientists from a long time ago figured out how to put lightning into a slab of rock to trick it into thinking.
