Probably because you have to be able to crimp that connector as simple as possible, without too much tooling OR training needed.

You literally can train anyone, as non-tech as possible, to crimp 8 wires with a $5 tool in 5-10 minutes.

Not only that, but it's also fairly potent, allowing you to pass variables from one request to another, transform response, inject .env vars etc.

If all of your team is using Jetbrains products, you can also add the http files to the version control so everyone could have the requests ready to use.

In other words: it's a beast

BTW, you might also find useful to know that you also have a very powerful SQL environment as well ;)

Is it just me or having the xdebug integration as a pro feature seems ... odd?

Edit: mysql is a pro feature too!

Most likely, no.

Not using the mobile version that much, so I can't give feedback on that, but the desktop player is getting worse and worse for the past few years: searching, discovering (by browsing), library/playlist management etc.

It's like the Spotify guys are not even using Spotify anymore :)

@retrocryptid: probably you're looking only at the images from the article, but it seems it's a full keyboard. And it's symetrical AND programable so you can customize it as you wish.

Back in the day we made fun of this nonsense, now we freakin glorify it with libraries like Tailwind & friends...

> Instead of thinking of that as the "problem" -- maybe it's an "opportunity".

This reminds me of that meme where the hero have an alcohol „opportunity” ^_^

They actually _did_ change it a few months ago.

You can turn on the autocomplete-by-enter by openening dev tools -> settings (f1) -> preferences -> console -> „accept autocomplete suggestion on Enter”

Lol, I was applying asking for my regular rate.

The short version: I was working on and off on upwork for the past... 10 years or so (since they were called elance). Didn't had too many projects (less than 20) and only applying there only for very small gigs, when I had some breaks from my regular clients (a couple of times per year).

Some years ago, one of my client went out of business and I wanted to give upwork a serious go, as I already had _some_ projects there, the account was verified and such.

Start applying on jobs that matched my skill set, asking for my regular hourly rate (hence the audacity). Looking backward, my requested rate wasn't even that high, but that's a story for another time. :)

Dunno how they work now, but back then they had a certain amount of credits every month that you could use to apply to jobs. IIRC, you could apply to 10-15 jobs every month with those credits.

Which I did.

I applied to about ten jobs, on most didn't had any replies from the client (they either closed the job or picked someone else), but the gist is that I didn't get any job.

One day, I get an email where the gist was: you weren't able to get any clients with your credits, so we don't need you. Same as OP, tried to contact them, but the decision was final and that's that. Fortunately, I didn't loose anything but some internet points :)

You go through an addmission process that's pretty much similar to an employement process (several interviews, technical interviews, tests etc).

After you get in, most of the jobs you get are strongly limited to your particular skill (so you won't be able to see what coding jobs are available if you're a designer).

Then, the customer aquisition process is slightly different, as you don't talk straight to the client while you're „bidding”, but with a recruiter, who deals with selecting the right candidate for a job.

Finally, for most of the jobs you don't even have to _apply_, as recruiters constantly send you messages for potential jobs.

Now, upwork & freelancer are mostly a race to the bottom; I personally got banned from upwork for having the audacity to apply to jobs and not winning any (because I didn't wanted to work for peanuts).

Depending on your budget, take a look at the MoonLander/Ergodox [1] or Kinesis [2].

You can also take the DIY path, with stuff like Dactyl, Sofle etc.

Mostly related to hosting requirements, thus hosting pricing.

For a PHP application (CMS or anything else) you rarely need something more than „upload these files on your FTP”.

For other languages you need access to CLI. And know-how on how to do this. And (sometimes) elevated access to install stuff.

The only downside of O365 is that custom email domain requires you to have domains from godaddy.
