@stacked for some scripts not, because some are local files that you have to know where they’re stored and you’d have to have access to my actual device (+ nothing security or data related). The bookmark was by accident via a key-combo probably.

@kescherRant @stacked Absolutly true. But I sometimes use php scripts for local stuffs as a random example (should switch to shell scripts instead) to create backups and whatnot (no server or API stuff)

@roger haha well.. something exactly like that. 😂

@alexbrooklyn yeah.. But this was a file on my localhost I executed once in a while a long time ago for some automated stuffs. Was probably added by accident via a key combo or something like that.

..or when you ask them to restart their computer and all they do is turn the screen off and back on again.. “Yes it has restarted and it is now back on the previous screen.”

@Alice Damn. You are everywhere. 😂 every thread I check, a comment from you lurks around the corner.

So “wrong” on so many levels. 😂

@sbiewald True, I’ve noticed some other large players using that as well. Indeed some other ways to check it. But they all have strong security measurements for account signins etc. Will probably switch over when I’ve added some extra security measurements.

@Alice Well.. UX > security. 💁🏻‍♂️The users might even be grateful for reminding them what their password is so that they don’t have to click on “forgot password” and receive it via email in plain text. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Alice when trying to login. “You’ve entered AirChecker69’s password, not yours. Yours is ‘fluffykittens’.”

Depends..
- Es-qu-ell
- My Es-qu-ell

But Sequel-server for MS. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Don't test in production, don't drop databases, use git versioning (but don't commit passwords and such),.. And you'll be fine. 😁

Don't try to impress or anything, just do your job, maybe do some 'overtime' or work on projects you are into after hours etc. Suggest improvements (if it's really an improvement amd not just a change, they'll respect that)

Get to know them, but during breaks, not during dev-time, be genuine and deliver. Ask if you're not sure about something. Let them know you're interesed and such. Focus while working, put on headphones but not all the time (so you don't give the impression that you're closed off). Dress casual, after a year or so you can start to wear sandals or shorts (who knows)

Hard to say really, just be yourself. Developers are a-like, you'll probably feel at home after a week.

It was meant to be 'Hello', but an azian guy wrote it.

No, I have no idea. The previous comments make sense tho.

It's a hassle to implement sometimes, but you'll get more traction. People sign up faster with "sign in with facebook" than manually entering their username, email, password,.. etc.

Depends on your application/site ofcourse.

Like previous comment. If the third-party changed something, you'll need to uodate as well. Sometimes it's minor, but it could also be a mayor change. (And you won't always know until a user reports it, that it doesn't work)

Fucking To Talk Me Dont? 🤔

Whenever you land on an e-commerce site and it takes about 5 seconds minimum to load the next page.. You'll know you're on a Magento platform. 😌

My rate is about 75€/hour. Present them with an estimate, before even starting, that is fairly wide estimated. Every minute I work on projects, I time them with 'MyHours'. Mostly I'm spot-on in my estimate, but if I'll work on it, like two hours extra, I'll give them a heads-up (if it wasn't due to in-efficient coding). Mostly they'll agree (unless it's like suddenly 5k extra ofc..) There's also the disclaimer on those estimates that, if I'll have to work on it more for client changes, I'll present them with a new estimate. If it's for bugs or issues, then it's free for the first few months.

A simple client side page is about 2 hours per page (depending on the functionalities ofc) backend is like 2 hours for a simple database setup and a json endpoint script thingy (not fully rest) together with 2 hours of setup (git, ftp,.. and testing for the base/core parts) (for example) 🤓

Like, your password is 'localhost'? 🤔

@Andi Good to know. Thanks man!

Got it to work.. But.. It feels bad to scroll through your database and seeing emojis in your data records 😐

Got my file contents back! :D Checked the .git/logs/HEAD file. Saw my commit hashes. Did a "git show" in the terminal with that specific hash and it showed all green text of my initial code before the revert and such. Just created the empty files and copy-pasted it, removed the "+" signs and tadaa :D Created a new commit and pushed it immediatly.. "Shame" that an undo of a revert doesn't re-create the files it deleted locally.

@Voxera That was my first attempt/reaction. I recovered two small files from that project, all the rest was within a half hour overwritten (due to the ssd I guess)

@Shodan yeah I had a commit doing the revert changes in my history, but I saw my files dissapear, so.. smart me, did an undo of that revert commit, but then it got deleted from my commit history, but it didn't put back my files and now, because there were no pushes, i only have a blanc, fresh repo with only the readme file :D so.. I already gave up, said to my coworker that I'm going home..

@Kimmax i tried with recuva, but no success.. I also.. Smart me.. Undid my last change of the commit so the "revert" isn't listed in my git status or checkout.

+ never pushed any commits to that repo

Does Miss. Microsoft Visual Studio know about that?

I can agree with your OP. I'm a dev myself and windows does the job for me. Maybe some poor memory management and such but, it's not like it holds back my productivity.

I hear people complain about crashing and other issues, but, I must say, I really don't have any issues with it. Everything runs fine. I had some issues in the past, but that was just with the old 'driver installation' hasle and the read-only settings from the early days. Now everything works mostly out of the box.

If you know how to treat windows as an os, it's really great and user friendly for everything.

I also have a macbook with OS X, a laptop with Elementary OS and a desktop with Debian for my server stuffs. So i'm comfortable with multiple os's, but windows is still my goto I guess..

@Torbuntu True..! :D As long as it doesn't break the project and fucks me the next time I launch and want to continue, because then I won't be in the mood for troubleshooting I guess :D ohwell.. Updates finished and I already lost my interests.. Ended up watching tutorials instead (Which is productive in some sense)

@ryanmhoffman @Torbuntu Yeah, noted for next time! :D But "I'm that type of guy" that updates when prompted. There's a reason for the updates (probably without effect on the shear amount of features I use) but.. Just.. To be sure because 'Why not'.. Could only improve my experience I guess. But next time, I'll update when I'm in a bit more 'update friendly' position :D

And now my Macbook sounds like it wants to take off.. A fighter jet can't compare to it :D

If you're working with a dev-team, then you'll probably be friendly welcomed (or how you say that) and they'll guide you for your first period. Dev-guys are (mostly) really great and understanding people that know how it is for new guys. Just don't drop databases or push credentials to online repo's within your first week :D don't try to work or sell yourself above your experience.

Grow with the team. The knowledge and experience will come as you progress.

But most importantly.. It's the new-comer's job to make and bring coffee for the first few months .. ;-) :D
