Had a bad dream about python, woke up screaming "THERES A PYTHON ON THE FLOOR"

My girlfriend was so confused because she's not a programmer

I'm writing a blog series about GoLang and REST interfaces, if your interested in golang but don't know where to start give it a read https://blog.mescrocker.co.uk/golan...

I've been thinking about creating an Open Source functions-as-a-service Content Management System. Reason being is that this would allow the community to cut down on costs for content sites that they run by using something like AWS Lambda where you would only have to pay for what you use. Thoughts?

It’s a step in the door

When people think web design is just wysiwyg

My dev goal is to actually finish something this year, last year I started a load of projects but left them unfinished

Is this annoying now?

Don’t do side projects

12hours lost track of time developing, was only supposed to be a 5 hour shift

Why is angular universal such an arse to retrofit?

Exercise weekly

I often get posed the option of using Go or Node, personally I think they’re both good languages and that they both have different purposes. But I was just wondering, what’s the sentiment on DevRant?

Why do people who wear the Apple wireless headphones remind me of business jerks from the early 2000s?

Cutting edge tech

@dfox @trogus Thanks for the stickers, much appreciated 😊 best of luck in this venture and I hope that I can continue using devRant

When the new guy runs sudo do-release-upgrade...

If I write a bug in deliberately is it really a bug, or just a feature that nobody asked for?

I hate mornings 😔

So a while back I decided to overhaul my entire code base and rewrite everything in one application... yesterday I thought this was bad so have moved back to separate applications, just this time as microservices! Does anyone else do this without ever releasing the initial thing you set out to do?

Got a funny look from someone the other day...

Turned out I was shouting at my monitor...

That's normal right?

Is it so hard to comment your code?

I work on collab projects here and there and both the comments and documentation are both awful, nearly always, there are some exceptions.

This is a plea to all those who teach anyone to program. "This performs a loop" is not a helpful comment, nor is "This sets variable x to 1" where the line below is "let x = 1".

The last piece of code brings me on to my next point meaningful variable names. If x is a variable that stores the age of a machine call it ageOfMachine or age_of_machine. Not aom, not x but what it actually is, modern IDEs and text editors will fill this out for you.

Finally documentation, a good friend of mine sent me this quote a while back, I can't find the image but "Documentation is like sex, when it's good, it's great. But when it's bad it's better than nothing." Your documentation should be good, a good pattern to follow is the Node.js documentation, it tells the function, what it does and what parameters it takes.

Anyway rant over; and I'm sure that this applies to people outside of this community only.

A set of common utilities for node.js, things like better logging, password hashing
