I feel this so much. I'm a lead developer and I use PowerPoint far more than any IDE

Complaints and gripes go up the chain, not down.

I can definitely relate though

Maybe at least explain it's like that in the comment. Otherwise someone is going to be very confused in the future.

I love Docker. Really opens opportunities for enhanced local dev, testing, CI and hosting

+1 for Contabo. Low prices and excellent customer service.

I like it. It's fast to write and easy to read.

@asgs that's harder then it should be in Kubernetes!

Don't get the C# one, I see it growing more and more popular now it's cross platform and open source with .Net Core.

It's more like Craig David. You forgot all about it, but note it's making a comeback.

I recommend moving away from these huge merges. Instead small changes often is the way to go. Embrace DevOps!

Microsoft are particularly shit at this. So much so that much of their guidance says use an incognito window to be sure you're not still logged in to another account.

You can use host.docker.internal as the host if the db is on the local machine running the container.

@OneOfSimpleMind Haha wouldn't say that. But just because someone has a people management role, doesn't mean you should pay them more than your top level developers.

I don't necessarily see this as a problem. Where I work we have a software resource manager model who earns the same as our lead developers and covers a geographic region. The fact we're paid the same even though they are responsible for "managing" me isn't an issue. As long as there is clear definition of roles.

We also have contractor developers who fill short term gaps who are paid significantly more than the resource manager but he is still responsible for them.

Role is more important than salary in a heirarchy.

I think the "solve all problems" comment is misleading. Those technologies aren't to fix problems, they're to take advantage of the other tech mentioned.

Now we have microservices we can take advantage of containers if we need to.

Now we have containers we can take advantage of Kubernetes if we need to.

It's more evolution than fire fighting.

VS Code (though not an IDE)

Full stack is a term used more in recruitment circles rather than organisations and job titles.

@Codex404 it's an illusion to add more credibility.

@Codex404 footer year isn't always a copyright year.

I'm fairly sure many of the dates on footer years we're talking about are not a registered copyright date.

@Datetime.Now.Year

It's a valid excuse if it's in a container.

Temporary fixes always worry me. So many times they become permanent and you end up stuck with the technical debt for years.

They can be more performant than the alternatives, but I try to avoid them as they encourage your methods to do more than one role.

Outside of factories I use them as a clue I'm doing something wrong.

@tekashi .Net Core runs on Linux but .Net Framework is Windows only.

C# has evolved!

@gitpush good approach.

I have some monoliths I'm looking to break down into microservices. I think the majority would fit Node.js or .Net Core but if there's an opportunity to learn something new then I'm always open to it.

@tekashi it's rewarding in the sense that the services are no longer tied to Windows servers. Containerising them in Linux containers means they're a lot more portable.

I don't mean to say there's anything wrong with .Net Framework as it certainly has it's use cases and will do for a long time. But from my perspective it's rewarding to "liberate" them.

Software development is all about short feedback loops. Either the team needs to commit to reviewing promptly or the PRs are trying to achieve to much.

Small changes often is the key to success.

@monkeyboy yep. Same with organisation, containerisation etc

@KimberlyTheGeek initialise.

I'm British and I don't mine color. However "initialize" boils my piss.
