What didn't cut it for me some months ago was precisely the seamless navigation I can get in tmux and Neovim with the tmux-neovim navigator plugins. In Zellij it was no so fluid to jump between panes and Neovim. I wonder if it was solved, done differently but better with any new plugin or config.
Is there something like this for backend? I am aware of things like https://roadmap.sh/backend just wondering if there's anything else backed by some big tech name like Mozilla.
Honest question, why does everyone uses discord for community space nowadays? What happened to product forums that could be easily found in a web search?
I used Discord for Wave because it is real-time, free, and has a lot of community and auto-moderation facilities built in. It also seems to scale well to large communities. Because you asked, I think it is fair game to share our discord link here: https://discord.gg/XfvZ334gwU
It's unnerving, especially for open source projects. The idea of open source extends beyond the license. It is as much about the community as it is the software. Discord is the worst possible place from an open-ness standpoint. I don't use software that uses it.
You can set up a Discord server for free in under 3 minutes. 10 if you want to install all the fancy moderation bots and change the icons and add custom emojis.
There's nothing comparable for forums. FB tried but it's a cesspool of "user engagement", managing groups is a full time job and still doesn't work properly.
Oh, and Discord _has_ a forum-like feature inside it :D
The UX in Matrix is really crappy. I say this as someone who has been on IRC since the late 90's. I can deal with jank. I was in the IRC wars. I've seen server splits used to take over channels by Polish IRC warriors.
Matrix is its own brand of confusing because it's trying SO hard not to be a Discord clone. If you properly want to own your Matrix channels, you need to run your own server and that's not a 3 minute thing to do.
As an open-source maintainer, the simple answer is because that's what the majority of users want. The barrier to join a discord server and ask a question is very low, compared to signing up for a forum, posting, and hoping that somebody looks at it.
The only negative feedback I've gotten is from users in China, where Discord is blocked.
If I see discord, I move on. You chose how to run your community, and I'm not going to complain -- I'm not that entitled. I'm just not going to participate.
I hate this trend, whenever you see something interesting and/or wants to engage with someone conversation, you get redirected to discord.. I don’t like it, why not mattermost or similar services if you don’t want to put some effort making a forum?
I second this! The first time I heard about the book was somewhere here on Hacker News and I gave it a chance and it was really good (specially because I too am excited about reading everything about what was done in the Xerox PARC).
I understand yours and authors view about money, but for some people 10k per year raise is a really good amount. I was recently on that boat, jumped companies for a close to 10k/year raise because that was 1/3 of what I was making in my previous company. Development jobs aren't at all paid in the same scale in the US vs rest of the world (I'm in Europe).
So, in your opinion are Clean Code and Clean Architecture still relevant/updated?
I've come more interested in the way I think about/produce code in the last couple of months and am searching for something that might be a good read on it - considering I'm mainly a JavaScript developer.
I find that most of the concepts of SOLID, for example, are really hard to figure out in most of the code base of the projects I've worked/see online implemented in Node for example. It might be related to my lack of knowledge and understanding of said principles though, but I've seen a youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnailTcJV_U) some months ago that showed me a "clean architecture" implementation that I've never really seen in any project I've fiddled with.
In my opinion, the caveat on the article is very apt: Clean Code teaches rules, not principles. If you read it with a critical mind you'll get a lot of it, if you follow it blindly you'll get a lot of bad habits. Unfortunately programmers need some experience to be able to do it.
IMO the same caveat applies to Clean Architecture: it is study material to architects, rather than something you can copy-paste into a new project. The reason it's dauting, IMO, is because there are some unnecessary concepts there that are unrelated to the "grand idea", and those small things might make sense for Bob Martin but might not make sense to you.
If you want to understand it, I really like this article. I think it explains very well the "grand idea" of architectural templates like Clean/Hexagonal/Onion... and links it to Gary Berhnardt's Imperative-shell-functional-core: https://danuker.go.ro/the-grand-unified-theory-of-software-a...
There are a couple of ways, but integrations would be the main difference:
You have access to special functions, called integrations, which let you get and manipulate data from other services. Some examples are Instagram, Crunchbase, Hunter and Stripe. There are many, many more, though. Rows is useful to combine data from multiple services and build workflows in a very simple fashion.
