I used to really love the bootstrap layoutit tool. Used that heaps in the past. Can you guys please make one for design systems (like Prime React, Element, Vue Admin etc) in React/Vue so you can visually build using components from those systems? That would be beyond amazing.
I did that this weekend. It was also hard to kick back and relax when I wanted to work on my goals. That was very conflicting, but I'm starting to see the value of slowing down a little bit.
I'm putting together https://habitrabb.it as an alternative to Loop but addressing some of the issues people in Play store were complaining about. Still a WIP but Android version will come out soon and I'm currently in the process of majorly reworking the UX.
Essentially the difference is people sometimes complained of losing a lot of data because no cloud backups and no iOS version hence i'm doing web+android+ios. Also a lot of people wanted to be able to track doing habits multiple times per day or track some specific metric (30x pushups) which I've chosen to implement. Small things like that but they add up.
Years before I ever read Thinking Fast and Slow I clicked on to the fact that humans are predisposed to making exceedingly poor decisions. This is such a fun example.
I almost want to start a side-project based on collecting these...
If there is a Q&A section and it's being recorded... please please please repeat the question so your mic pics it up because the person asking it is miles away and it never makes it into the audio so the people watching at home later have to guess what the question is based off the answer you gave which can be tough sometimes. So just a "Ok, so the question is... blah blah blah - answer".
Also... nothing can quite prepare you for how shot your nerves can be. It definitely pays to run it through many times as you can with a timer so that you are at least confident in your pacing.
Other than that it's quite fun.
It can be pretty handy to you to include your twitter handle in the top right corner so you get some follows throughout the presentation from people who were interested. At the end link off to 'you can find the slides for this presentation here bit.ly/soloyolo' etc.
I often wonder why it's not treated as a first class citizen when teaching programming. I think there should be a full CS course dedicated to it.
I put together http://www.debug.coach/ because a guy I used to work with had better debugging skills than anybody and I noticed it was because he always knew the right questions to ask.
It's independent of Rails. It simply hooks the all calls to <a href> tags and replaces them with ajax get requests to the url.
It works really nice with Rails because of how easy Rails makes it return a piece of javascript to the page (this is called SJR) so there is some magic included for making form submissions work which is part of the Rails turbolinks gem. The javascript that the server returns to the page essentially calls Turbolinks.visit("/url-form-submission-would-redirect-to-after-completion") so that the expected navigation takes place. It's quite clever. I think you would have to replicate that in the Java world to get the full experience. This SO answer alludes to how you might replicate SJR https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26750738/java-spring-ret...
So I think out of the box you can expect clicking links to work (and that alone provides a great speedup), but ajax form submissions will require some work. If you look at some articles on how form submissions with turbolinks make use of SJR you could likely figure it out and implement it. It's overall not a very complicated mechanism.
I suppose Rails .erb templating engine also has some helpers which the form submission side of turbolinks relies on. Namely it includes a data attribute data-remote and that's the thing turbolinks hooks into to prevent the default behavior of the form submission and and instead fire the ajax request. In theory so long as your forms include that it will work if you have the SJR stuff in place on your back-end.
So many coworkers said I should just alias c=clear or something like that. I don't know why... I just have a penchant for typing the full thing :) Badly it seems.
Well, he probably means source code management. However...if it's a SaaS you could have the marketing website hosted on github pages for free using Jekyll and that even incorporates a blog into your solution too! Then of course host the app on a subdomain using Heroku. So github can come into it that way if you think about it. Not a bad option at all!
It's so not fast to develop with though. I used to use it exclusively for years just cos that's what I knew. Switching to Rails now because Rails blows it out the water for speed of development. I still have a lot of love for Spring Boot just because of the power/flexibility and how incredible it is as a framework and marvel of engineering. But starting a spring boot app vs. starting a rails app is night and day in terms of how far along you already are with a Rails app especially if you use something like https://bullettrain.co
I started building a SaaS in Java/Spring and months in realised Ruby/Rails would have been stunningly faster to get the same result. The full write-up is here for reference http://tayler.io/5-lessons-learned-as-an-indie-hacker/
Interesting bug! Reading through this made me add a couple of new questions to http://www.debug.coach/
Could there be a bug in a library/3rd party code?
Could there be a possible race condition?
I remember recently hitting a bug in a 3rd party library in a Jar provided by Oracle in WebLogic to do with an incorrect implementation of the W3C DOM API causing XML validation to fail whenever attributes were present. Of course the J-Unit tests provide a different Jar and thus a different (correct) implementation and no bug. Took ages to track down.
BAZINGA!
