Hey, I was in a similar situation at that inflection point but veered into PHP application development and couldn’t quite get away from the front end. Let me tell you: CSS Flexbox and Grid are amazing. AlpineJS is “just the good parts” of jQuery. You can go back now. Check out 11ty.

Romm might fit, if you’ve got the patience to map controllers. Remember, it’s a BYO rom situation, but that’s nothing the guys over at @piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com can’t help you with.

Laravel’s documentation does a very good job of describing these types of relationships. Even if you’re not a PHP developer, their docs cover the basics.

We call the things that, “sit in the middle,” Middleware.

tl;dr - It’s okay to refactor code now and then.

I bought my first keg with the cash made from un-fucking Dreamweaver output.

You should take a look at Mermaid.

Edit: words are hard.

I’m another git-flow fan. Have not encountered a situation that would motivate me to change workflow. We use submodules all over the place, too.

We found out two days later that Becky didn’t blow anyone, no one had herpes, and the entire field hockey team got mononucleosis because they share water bottles.

Mostly nothing. The Unicode Consortium isn’t run by the US government. Neither is ANSI nor IEEE. The IETF and ISO are international bodies technically headquartered in Switzerland. FIPS picks standards, it doesn’t author them.

Congratulations, you’re already living in a world where “smart people [are] working for other smart people.”

Wait hang on…

did not blow up, it faded, with its oriental counterpart well-flourishing for 10 centuries after that

How long do you think a century is? Did you mean to say decade? Even then, the US wasn’t really a global superpower until the 1940s. There are people still alive that remember the Dust Bowl. If your question is, “what happens to regulatory standards 100 years after the US is gone,” I’m not sure what quality of answer you’re expecting.

For someone who doesn’t want “chud shit,” you sure do leave some pretty huge doors open for it. Especially when you don’t go into any detail of what these regulatory bodies do. It reminds me of 14 year olds loudly declaring “I don’t want any drama…” before “…but I think Becky got mouth herpes from blowing Steve at band camp.”

The customer was UniSuper, a $125B Superfund. It was not the confused Grandma in the thumbnail.

Woof.

So, I tried using Google Bard Gemini to help write one-line Character Background descriptions for a 5e supplement I’m trying to write. I specifically feed it the longform descriptions and features I’ve already written and ask it to summarize. The output I get is so foreign and detached from my “voice,” it’s totally unusable.

Even when giving it more than you want to get out, it can’t produce acceptable results. I can only imagine the drek this lady is being inundated with, and it makes me sad.

The only success I’ve had so far is telling it, “pluralize X in this paragraph,” in places where I wrote something like, “A Painter paints for a living,” and want it to be, “Painters paint for a living.” (I’m pretty sure Microsoft Word could do this shit in the 90s.)

“They drink cola like me!” can be read as, “they drink the same soda as I do,” as in the specific brand and flavor. It can also be read as, “they drink cola the same way I do,” as in straight out of the can or in a glass with ice.

The title had me asking, “How is this weirdo drinking cola, that they’re excited to see someone else doing it the same way?”

It’s called job security, bro.
