Ether you found it to be too distracting, waste of the time, too low of a quality, too bloated or you just don't trust particular brand and found another alternative...

Windows 😀
I was going to say Internet Explorer. Sadly I still have to use Windows for work, though 90% of my work is done inside a Linux virtual machine
Especially Windows ME
I like macOS way too much. No more ctrl+c problems, system updates are controllable, app shortcut keys are unified, fonts are super sharp on hi-res monitor, etc.
there's 10 off the top of my head. there's too many to name I guess.
Why the switch from JetBrains to VSC? And, Vue to Svelte?
vscode: better look & feel (personal preference i guess), feels lighter, one text editor to rule them all.
svelte: better/simpler developer experience, no virtual dom, easier state management, smaller bundle size. snappier user experience.
I’m getting into Data Science, I just found out about creating “tasks” in VSC and It’s helped allot. I’m liking JetBrains because, it seems lighter than VSC, I wish it had some more add ons . I’ve been using React over Vue but Vue seemed simpler but more “sugar” of their own syntax. Will you try Vue3 at some point?
i see no reason to go back to vue or even try vue3. unless vue4 becomes a compiler like svelte. not having a virtual dom is a huge bonus from what i've seen. also svelte stores with auto subscription is just too easy compared to working with vuex imho.
I'm now interested. Vue has been getting on my nerves lately. There is so much boilerplate! I guess Vue 3 may be better but I fear that I will still get stuck and have little help in terms of errors. I'm looking at you Vue reactivity model, why you no react?
I hate the constant errors, you type one “.” Period, and it’s error error error error ...
20 errors from Vue.esm telling me that everything broke. I totally understand, get out of the way Vue!
jetbrains is pricey
So $24 a month, is pricey for a editor?
Back in school I had a free student license, but after it expired the price was around $500-600 a year. It might be cheaper now.
You can use beta for free. Its called early access program (EAP) jetbrains.com/resources/eap/. I used that more then a year and never had any issue that would affect my productivity or experience.
Ok, so is $25 a month good? Apparently it goes down the second month, or that might be if you pay by year all at once
$25 a month is definitely a great deal for JetBrains product
It seems like every meet-up I've ever been to has involved the give away of a free JetBrains key. If you don't want to pay for a key, go visit almost any meet-up group out there. ;)
Haha good to know! Will do.
What’s a meet-up?
A meet-up is a place where other programmers go to hang out, pretend to talk to each other for a bit and then just do thier own work for a while before showing what they have done. It's basically an introvert party. This is all down to personal experience, your experience may differ.
ok, where can you find events for one?
meetup.com
There is typically a focus for the individual meet-up group (JavaScript, C#, Vue.js, AWS, etc). They usually meet once per month in a company's (that financially sponsors the group) presentation space. There is usually free food and drinks (including beer if that is how the sponsor rolls). Each month's meetup starts with a presentation on a topic (something like "What's new in Vue 3") and then there is social time afterwards so that you can chat with like-minded folks.
It's called what it is because most of these groups organize on meetup.com and I have never seen there be a cost to attend one but they usually have a jar out for donations (meetup.com charges a lot for a host account).
Example: meetup.com/Angular-Boston/events/2...
I haven't used JetBrains in a long time, but I loved it. I started using VS Code about 2 years ago and I think it's amazing. I can't compare JetBrains and VS Code but I can tell you I was an immediate beliver. Oh, and I hate Visual Studio.
What about vertical slices over layered architecture?
here's a video I found useful when I first got introduced to vertical slice arch. pls skip the first 17:00 minutes.
however I don't personally use the mediator pattern like they show in the video. I have a .net core web api project on github if anybody wanna see how I do it now.
Nice
You know that you switched from chrome to chrome (more or less)?
lol yeah but edge feels leaner.
Mongodb is not a silver bullet :)
definitely not. but I find the mongodb developer experience much friendlier and my apps are much easier to evolve compared to the sql hell I was in. infact I wrote my own mongo db library which makes things way easier for my teams.
I read these as ‘greater than’ signs and started thinking ‘really???’ 😂
lol no way 🤪
well I guess you read it wrong cause the outcome wasnt being assigned to a variable 😜
Same, until I got to PHP > .NET Core 😂
lol yeah there's not even a parallel universe where php can be greater than .net right 😜
O man. I’m definitely on the left side with everything there. Your new tools are on right side, right? Hard to believe.
yeah new stuff on the right. but in all honesty it's your own level of intelligence and experience that makes you a good developer imho. not just the tools you use. I'm a really lazy developer so I always try to find stuff that does things more efficiently and easily than what im currently using/doing.
JetBrainsis pricey, but their IDE is really amazing. I still have one left of their productWebStormthat has only a few months to spend. After that, would be a forever goodbye.I find your 4. quite unpopular (but I agree so muuuuch) but
why do you prefer custom websites over wordpress ? and what do you mean by custom ?
using frameworks ? building them from scratch ?
:)
it really depends on the complexity of the requirements I guess. most of the sites I had to work on became so complex and bloated its a real nightmare with all the plugins and integrations. feels like too many moving parts glued together by duct tape. nowadays for simple static content sites I use either docfx or 11ty. data driven or crud based sites I build with svelte and servicestack.
CVS, SVN, Windows, VS Code.
Visual Source Safe. Only one person can edit a file at a time. Never need to merge, but ...
Asp Net Webforms with Jquery, glad I'm not on that project anymore.. Net core with Angular now.
Windows, .Net webforms, SVN, dedicated servers, cPanel
I've programmed just since 4 or 5 years ago, but when I meet Laravel, was beatiful and my productivity increase 3x. Now the Javascript world is my focus, Angular, Node.js, GraphQL, a lot of tech stacks around Javascript.
PHP to NodeJS !
Backbone (Angular/React instead)
Macos (using Linux now)
facehook
Same here. No returning back and no regret.
Very glad to have switched from Ubuntu to Void Linux/OpenBSD. Also to github.com/martanne/vis and vi(1) from vim(1).
Atom. Whenever I am using Typescript with React I always have to set the language to add the syntax coloring.
I made this comment a while back, and am removing the text to make my account seem alot better.😀
Facebook => Twitter
