Maybe give F# a try. It's functional, strongly typed and since you already know .NET and C# the ecosystem and tooling will be familiar to you and could lessen the learning curve.

I prefer using Adminer or Azure Data Studio (with pg extension)

Have you tried start.duckduckgo.com?

Really interested in your blog post, especially on generating types for the database. Can you give some short insights on how you achieve it?

At the moment it takes almost 7 seconds to load a repository details page

I used slate in one of my projects but replaced it eventually with draft.js. The biggest pain points were:

Not stable yet. A lot of breaking changes between releases, so you have to update your code frequently. Breaking changes often introduced new bugs. Big in size (even bigger than draft.js).

Is it possible to downgrade an existing flexible app to standard without changing A records? It seems there is a dedicated page for that, but it leads to a 404. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/nodejs/upgr...

It's scary how relatable it is

You can build a lot using only plug and maybe ecto as orm.

I'm about moving out, bought my own flat. Looking forward to be independent. Learn cooking, cleaning and grow some healthy vegetables on my balcony. On the other side i finished a climbing course recently, now i want to practice that further, so i can climb one of the three peaks of Lavaredo. As a programmer i want to take a step back, spending less time in front of the computer and socialize more, though it costs me a lot of energy.

Same happened to me (Chrome 54)

React & redux. Through redux i came in touch with functional programming. During the first week learning it, i came home from work exhausted and with a headache but eventually it clicked and i was amazed how productive and bugfree further development was. I began to adapt the functional style in my PHP projects and started using real functional programming languages (Elixir and F#) to take my understanding even further. Still plenty to learn.

From Sunday 11 pm to tuesday morning

We are switching away from hetzner managed server as we had ~30 hours of downtime this sunday. They suddenly swapped our valid ssl certificate with a self signed one. They offered no immediate support (i called them three times) and open tickets were left unanswered for another ~20 hours. As i ranted about their customer service on twitter, they finally took care of it. So please stay away from them.

Look at this recent pull request by Dan https://github.com/reactjs/redux/pull/1455 It removes the need of the hmr plugin and babel completely, since it uses webpack hot reload directly

In Windows drag & drop for staging files is gone completely. Happy to see now my stashed content in the small sidebar after the remotes. Overall the release isn't that bad in my opinion.

I had the same crisis two years ago. I was on vacation and couldn't stand the thought going back to work doing the same odd and boring CMS PHP stuff i used to code day in and day out. My girlfriend left me at the same time, so i decided to make a move. I quit the job, i thougt i was good at, and went to a company which programmed mostly in C# and F#. It was challenging, but at the same time so satisfying to be excited again. I learned about functional programming, looked beyond the horizon of my save little PHP and JS world. I never looked bad to my old me and my old job. Stay curious and if the moment comes you feel stuck, move on to something similar but yet unknown and challenging.

I would say, go with vagrant and laravels homestead box, which comes with PHP 7 already. The documentation is great, so you should be up and running in less then an hour.
