Yes, React.
That’s not good, hoping you get better soon!

I watched a long “documentary” on TV a long time ago
where MS showed the process (except for the secret ones) of how windows are created
Don’t forget that it was a long time ago when they probably used the waterfall model and not Agile or 10 subsequent ones.
back then, the battle was still going on about which OS would prevail among desktop users, which browser, etc.
and it was extremely important that no secret/code leaked out.
If there is a spy there, he doesn’t know that MS is working on some new software/module that will bring a revolution
rather, it is kept secret from rivals, so everything is segmented
Then you also had a process when you had to release software in the form of a medium like a CD = strict deadlines.
Then the focus was not on experimentation and interaction - a constant collaboration among “lower” members
rather, everything is probably planned in detail at the top (relies heavily on documentation - among those who have permission) where the lower employee does not have to think, but receives a specific lower task “your code must do this”.
to increase oversight and control at every stage
and it is useful if an employee leaves, another can easily continue.
The problem with this method is when decisions have been made in detail
there are no more adaptations and everything is static (there is no room for flexibility and creativity)
At that time there were neither pentests nor so many attacks online
and computers were “mostly” isolated from each other
today, when you release some software, after 10 hours you get feedback that it has some bug and you have to adapt (patch) it as soon as possible, and because of that, like other things, the development model has been upgraded/mutated over the years
You speak from the point of view of modern times
while my answer was based on this question:
User story?
I will only add that MS dictates the conditions not the users - it’s up to users to adapt 
And there is also a lot of psychology
for example, you release a new version of the program that is identical to the previous one in every respect,
users will start writing and complaining that the new version works slower for them and that something is wrong, why don’t you return the previous version, etc. 
Users do not have a vision or know the company’s plans for the future so maybe MS should dictate all…
Here’s a silly example:
When Firefox introduced this icon 
I was pissed because I can’t remove it from the toolbar
before that I had my own beautiful custom design for the toolbar
and I think to myself, why the hell do I need an “extension” icon when I have everything I need for extensions in the settings?
that in the end it turns out that FF intends (perhaps already has) that this icon serves to configure the extension for each site individually - so it makes sense that it is always on the toolbar
so I simply moved it all the way to the other side where it doesn’t bother me

Personally, not really. If anything it makes me more interested in learning something new within the language / sector.

It depends on the specific clause in most cases. Around here, you can have a non-compete clause, but it should be fair. You can’t have a non-compete clause that basically ends someone’s career if they leave.
So you can’t force a developer to never write code again for anyone. But you can ask a developer who is working on your e-commerce platform to not go work for another e-commerce company.
Yes, user story: User story - Wikipedia
It’s a method to describe feature ideas. For example: “as a hosting account owner who has a custom domain name, I want to see the CNAME record I need to setup to verify my domain name before adding my domain”.
It doesn’t mean that you actually wait for users to tell you what to do. That’s why product owners write the user stories, not the actual users themselves.

Welp I guess my issue stems from “fear of the failure” then

Perhaps. I don’t really care about failing since I’m the only one who will ever know (Unless I make fun of myself here)

Unless I’m too focused, failing would mean losing focus and abandoning that project for months.

Hi guys,
I was trying to upload a zip file as a reply to this, but I guess zip format is blocked here, what’s the usual practise of sharing repo here?
Was trying to upload “scig-php8.zip” 202kb
Cheers!

You could upload the ZIP to something like Discord or Mediafire (or GitHub since you mentioned repo) and then link it here.

He doesn’t use Discord and I think it is a lot better for his sanity.

You think? I know it is. The things that you see on Discord are horrible.

I know exactly what’s on Discord, I just don’t trust the app anymore and let away the content as a whole. I can get video and streaming using many other alternatives like Google meet anyways.

I think you can send .zip via PM, but not on public posts.
(or .zip is only allowed for staff)

Random question, but, what are we going to do on January 19th, 2038 @ 03:14:07 UTC?

Probably similar to the y2k. Though there is no concern as long as all of the application that you are using are 64 bit
6 Likes
But why would the amount of bits that my application is using have to do with the Unix Epoch Time which uses 32-bits?

That’s a very funny response, I’ll make sure to wear bell-bottoms, tie-dye shirt, and afro wigs!
But seriously, what’s gonna happen with things like creation dates for replies?
