PHP runtime? PHP is incredibly fast. I don't install sketchy plugins on my WordPress sites so security breaches are a non issue.

I'd be more worried about one of those 10,000 dependencies in your React project doing something malicious :)

The same thing can be said for a lot of things with CSS…

The @media rule was added for one reason only: provide different styles for different media types. It wasn’t intended to be used to make responsive websites. Is using it to make responsive websites an incorrect usage?

This is fake. Amazon gives $1,000 after 30 days, then the next $1,000 after 90 days, and the next $1,000 after 180 days.

Because Brave (and chrome, edge, opera) runs on Blink, and Firefox runs on Gecko

Idk, the setup feels pretty clunky to me!

Or… Wordpress and 2 plugins: Advanced Custom Fields Pro + Custom Post Type UI.

Did you miss the giant frontend masters sidebar sticky on the side of every article for the past 2+ years? Chris was making tens of thousands off that ad each month.

I found an even easier combination:

Doing none of that and just pay for YouTube premium.

The lengths people will go to to get around paying $10 a month for YouTube premium.

Crazy that every nation other than china has had 3 big “waves” of Covid cases. Yet somehow china has only had the initial wave of Covid back in early 2020 and nothing else until now.

Very strange.

> I was disappointed that XPS did not even use a metal hinge, which is probably just 25 cents more. so yes XPS does not use the best quality parts from my experience.

This is why it's $800 cheaper than a MacBook Pro.

Use cases? I just want exactly what I have in notion… but printed to pdf. How is that taking away from “evolving their UX”.

Submitting assignments as pdf’s is extremely common at Universities. It feels like literally everything needs to be a pdf.

Also, when sending something to a client, it’s way more professional to send them a pdf document as an attachment they can open right in their browser instead of some obscure google docs / notion link.

Google doesn't care about you as much as you think.

This is why if you develop software, you should develop it for Mac. People who own a Mac will actually pay for your software willingly. Example: https://cleanshot.com/

If he made this exclusively for Windows no one would have paid for it. But since he's made it for Mac, he's racked in hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The vast majority of people browsing hacker news are in the tech industry, not high school kids with no money.

Some people can’t afford $12 a month, especially with that measly 150k tech salary. Really gotta start budgeting these days.

Me too. That’s why I pay $12 for YouTube premium. That’s like, what, 30 cents a day per month?

Paying for things is not hard.

Thing is, if you kept your JobsOk.io project for another year you would have been making bank (like Pieter did) from the remote job boom during Covid.

Oh well…

Why is waterfall a good methodology?

I love spending so much time doing Big O analysis! Great use of my time! I’m sure I’ll need to know semesters worth of Big O Analysis for my job.

Oh… I just need to know the basics? Damn, such a great use of my time.

CS degree in a nutshell.

This is such a terrible take. Drag and drop page builders produce terrible HTML. Completely unsemantic, and they will always fail Google's core web vital metrics.

After grinding leetcode for months, and going through 4 interviews, you feel like you’ve “finally made it” which is why people post cringey posts like that.

Why use elementor when you can get far better Google Core Web Vitals, and actually write semantic html all with ACF?

Writing PHP isn’t that hard!

That’s awesome, now can you find one that points to all the plugins that cause these security exploits? Because none of those are from the default WordPress install with the Standard plugins (ACF Pro, CPT UI, etc).
