Programming is mostly research. Researching curses to cast on the guy who wrote the Incomprehensible mess you’re currently debugging.

apt remove sudo

sudo is not installed on several distributions by default, so hardly surprising it’s not there or that you can remove it.

Awesome you say? Sounds like a good candidate for being discontinued by Google.

I’ve programmed C# for nearly 15 years, and have used goto twice . Once to simplify an early break from a nested loop, essentially a nested continue. The second was to refactor a giant switch statement in a parser, essentially removing convoluted while loops, and just did a goto the start.

It’s one of those things that almost should never be used, but the times it’s been needed, it removed a lot of silliness.

async/await was introduced in version 4.5, released 2012. More than a few releases at this point!

The company I work for is smort

This is every company I’ve ever worked for. If other people didn’t vouche for their own tests, I’d assume automated testing was a myth.

Machines aren’t people. Machines don’t learn. Machines copy data, manipulate and replicate it. That is copyright infringement. The laws for Machine duplication don’t apply to human learning.

Razor

Razor is the templating engine that’s been there since the original MVC. Blazor Server is the one that needs a server and streams changes to the client using signalR. Blazor WASM is the one that uses Web Assembly. As of .Net 8, Blazor can now also ne used as a generic SSR backend. They all use Razor Components, which is a component model using the Razor engine.

Not to be confused with Razor Pages, which is also a generic SSR backend.

To list some good ones that haven’t already been ssid:

Secretly Incredibly Fascinating

Oh wow, I’ve seen this guys shorts start popping up constantly. He seems like he understands the algorithm enough to explode

Seems it got much worse.

Seems like it’s going great for the developer.

Htmx for server requests and AplineJS for client interactions

You can write it in whatever language you want, as long as it’s rust.

SPAs are mostly garbage, and the internet has been irreparably damaged by lazy devs chasing trends just to building simple sites with overly complicated fe frameworks.

90% of the internet actually should just be rendered server side with a bit of js for interactivity. JQuery was fine at the time, Javascript is better now and Alpinejs is actually awesome. Nowadays, REST w/HTMX and HATEOAS is the most productive, painless and enjoyable web development can get. Minimal dependencies, tiny file sizes, fast and simple.

Unless your web site needs to work offline (it probably doesn’t), or it has to manage client state for dozen/hundreds of data points (e.g. Google Maps), you don’t need a SPA. If your site only needs to track minimal state, just use a good SSR web framework (Rails, asp.net, Django, whatever).

Don’t use exceptions in C++ anymore
