Build.io? I’ll have to look into that plugin. Is it a paid one, or does it come with the Figma seats?

…and that, too. Tried to look at it as an existing Jack of All Trades. Get to learn new stuff!

But yeah… I feel like I’m being taken advantage of, sometimes.

Ahh, good ole stack managing.

Was this made with AI?

Wow. I just lost mine. Been through at least 5 so far… Of course I’m working on around 6 projects at any point.

My favourite was when I migrated a website to Plesk, and my boss wondered why it took me 8 hours to migrate a single website…

I’m falling into that myself… It seems my boss is trying to prevent me from being Pidgeon-holed into being just a programmer.

Aka, he is diversifying my portfolio to keep me on board as an employee.

Guess it helps some full-stack’ers if they also have experience in graphics design and copywriting.

I remember an old mentor programmer I had who basically described his job as building an addition to an addition to an addition on a tree house built in a twig.

Was gonna suggest this theme. I love it in my light daily driver.

Oh! This was a good one! I remember reading this on Bash.org. ahh, thanks for the reminder.

Hard poached eggs topped with cheddar cheese.

I also use ketchup as an additive in cabbage rolls, sloppy joes, or chili, barbecue sauce.

Meat loaf, Japanese omelet rice.

For me, it’s a lack of meaningful contact with my family on the other side of the country.

Facebook and other social media sources are turning into just giant vanity “me me me!” and shit posting. Nothing more meaningful came out of it… So I abandoned it.

It’s hard to keep track of so many different media outlets as well, and got tiring. Especially with a lot of doom scrolling posts… Such a downer.

Got any tips for how to keep track when you flip between tasks so often? Program or app or paper and pen tracking?

Ahhh, my favourite debugging combo…

echo "<pre>"; print_r( "We are here, we are here!" ); echo "</pre>"; die();

Also fun at parties, hanging out asynchronously, is the ever popular PHP Mail to see if something ran in the background properly, or to get output.

I may not have a big tip, but here’s what I’ve done when learning other languages…

I listen to people speaking and try to repeat it to myself. If I can hear it in my head, it will sound normal. So when I need to, I can remember how it sounded in my head, and decide if it will sound good in the Curr context.

Then I think I should learn Crystal. ;) I’ll gladly program in a language with the same name as myself. Hahah.

Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your insight!

I’m a self-taught programmer as well. Started with the basics way back when like Atari basic, GWbasic, built into Forth of all things, then C++/C#, PHP, JavaScript, etc., then into frameworks like Node, React, Vite , Laravel, CakePHP and stuff.

I followed the Ruby online tutorial. It seems a lot like Zoho’s Deluge, but I heard it isn’t as optimized as Rust, so thank you for talking about Rails :) I’m excited to see what I can build!

Also thanks for the warning about outdated Gems.

I’m learning Ruby on Rails. Would you recommend it as a good website framework? Or something else? I’ve already tried Laravel, CakePHP, Vue/Vite, and making my own from scratch .
