I think you’re only supposed to use the dangerous skip thing when it’s running inside a docker container

I’m using Fastlane, which I’m running via GitHub actions triggered by git tag.

Does the policy prevent you from installing a virtual machine? Or you could install docker and do everything via ssh into your container.

Also use Mac for work and personal. But I spend most of my time in neovim and the browser, so tbh I don’t really care what I use. I just like that I can answer texts from my Mac via iMessage. I haven’t tried them, but I think there are some i3 style window managers for macOS. That’s the next thing I would explore if I wanted a more Linux like experience.

I started doing my Xcode builds in CI, so I guess I’m not really tied to Mac anymore. In its current state, I’m more attached to the hardware than the software.

Yes but email is only a second factor when used in addition to a first factor (e.g. password). If it’s just magic link without password, then email is the only factor

What’s the 2nd factor? Email and what else?

Passkeys get undeserved hate

Blorp dev here. Linking the GitHub page if you wanna see all the ways you can download Blorp https://github.com/Blorp-Labs/blorp

Probably Microsoft: You’re hired! Go work on GitHub

The steaks are very high. I could lose access to my media library for 1-2 evenings (the time it would take me to switch to Jellyfin).

But the trick is to keep the code good enough that it runs, but bad enough that you have job security

That’s funny because I - having not written much C++ - have an irrational hate of the language. But I like JavaScript. I think I need to look at C++ through the same lens I look at JS through.

Imo you can write pretty performant websites in JS. I guess it depends what you’re doing, but e.g. if you pay attention to you’re rerenders in React, you’re gonna have a much better time.

But I also totally understand as soon as you wanna do some compex stuff, JavaScript is not a good time. I don’t think webassembly has worked as smoothly as promised, but in theory, that should let you bring some C++ into the browser.

Genuinely curious, how many of you hating on JS have done professional frontend work recently? If you have done professional work, was it part/full time, using TypeScript, how big was your eng team, did you have to worry about Server Side Rendering?  Maybe some extra context will show certain types of projects yield devs that hate the language.

I think Rich Harris famously migrated Svelte from TypeScript to JSDoc, while still supporting TypeScript via JSDoc. I don’t use Svelte, so I have no idea how well this works in practice. However, Rick Harris seems smart to me, unlike other overly opinionated devs like DHH. I still wouldn’t use JSDoc over TS, but I guess if it works for your project, who cares. What matters is that we all remember the one true enemy, DHH

I suspect most Lemmy users hating on JS haven’t done much professional JS work. Especially these days with TypeScript and all the modern conveniences.

I’m curious, what kinda hardware do you work on?

You’re not wrong, but newer version of the language have steered devs away from these quirks. The quirks remain because the JavaScript language is 100% backwards compatible. It’s fun to laugh at these quirks, but I’ve been a full time JavaScript developer for 4 years and part time since 2015, and I’ve never seen any of these quirks come up in the real world. If you tell your developers to use === instead of == in code review, you eliminate most of the problems imo.

JavaScript tooling deserves more hate imo. The ecosystem is kinda a disaster, but Vite is making a lot of progress in fixing that. If you ignore React Native and metro bundler, I think the state of web is looking pretty optimistic right now. At least from a technology perspective. From a business/AI/enshitification perspective we’re cooked lol

People on here really think the language determines the quality of the project lol

Thank you! I’ve put a lot of work into making Blorp good this past year. Let me know if there is still something keeping you from making the switch, and I’ll see if I can make it better.

I know modern tools get a lot of hate on Lemmy, but tainwind and shadcn have been amazing to work with. Next.js has been a little bumpy the last few years, but if you know what you’re doing, you can deliver a great UX with React. I’ve been enjoying Vite + React for anything that doesn’t need SSR.

LGTM! (probably on a Friday)
