I am a backend dev, but this shit is why I have utmost respect for frontend devs, also because they know how to center a div.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With flexbox and grid there is no excuse for not knowing how to do that at this point.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There wasn’t an excuse in the first place. It’s kinda amazing anyone can say centering a div was ever hard, especially if you have a computer science degree.

I mean sure it’s different from say object-oriented programming… but it’s frankly weird in a professional setting hearing grown adults with plenty of experience struggle over basic front-end work.

Computer science doesn't have much to do with making websites but ok

Not web sites but certainly web applications.

What's the use case for such a big monitor anyway?

Being able to fit a java class name in 1 line

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Eh, I'm sure we can overrun it just by gluing sufficient instances of Factory to the end of the classname.

And OOP in general. I also used to be infamous for such things, then I started to shorten the names, including using letters that are obvious to the user (e.g. int w, h; for width and height).

You sent me down a rabbit hole. Now I’m using a hamerspoon script which mimicks paperwm/niri

It is a digital signage display (ie in store ads, menus, displays etc) - not meant for desktop use.

Looks like Untitled Goose Game.

Is Linus still doing the thing with the videos? Huh.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Lol was pretty much my first thought.

Frontend devs stopped giving a shit about wide screens at like 24"

It's just massive blank spaces seperating the work area and sides

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My team cares, mostly because I make them care.

This is not even an edge case, this is jump down from the edge to find what lies in the dark pit of despairs case

Step 1: Write a website in pure HTML, can be converted or builded from something like Markdown

Step 2: Style it a little with CSS, as a layer on top, without touching HTML

Step 3: Profit.
