  • What's your favorite DB editor software?

    Jump

  • Thanks, I'll give it a try! I'm really surprised this is the only suggestion here that's free / open source (at least the community edition), basically everything else is subscription based.

  • Calculations working as intended

  • What programming language will you be using in the upcoming advent of code?

  • Python with Jupyter has always done well by me!

  • Why Git is hard

  • I use the CLI for simple commands, especially if helping someone on another PC and I don't have access to my preferred tool, but I honestly don't get people who use it religiously and never even try tools with GUIs. The convenience of being able to easily see the commit history, scroll through it, have a right click context menu or ability to just click it and see file changes (and then right click those files for additional options), is just something I can't abandon. Nowadays even the aliasing can be replicated in those tools if they support creation of custom commands so even that is a moot point - with some setup you can be as fast as with a CLI.

  • [help] Should I use Django for a small website?

    Jump

  • Hmm, having googled very superficially about django and flask, it seems to me like the state (at least today) is the opposite - flask is lightweight and django is more heavy duty, having a built in ORM layer, authentication service, admin interface, db migration framework, etc.

    To be fair the article also says Django is known for its performance but when I googled that the other day, it looked like it was often near the bottom of the chart rather than top... I guess it really comes down to personal preference in the end 🤷‍♂️

  • [help] Should I use Django for a small website?

    Jump

  • Was there a noticeable performance improvement on flask or what kind of features did you need that django didn't provide? I've always used bigger enterprise frameworks for webapps and only recently started looking into Django for smaller personal ones so I'm wondering what are the differences

  • How do you improve your "pattern application" knowledge?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the book recommendation, I'll definitely check it out! The course sounds really helpful as well, I imagine there are many remote classes like that nowdays or as part of learning sites like pluralsight so that might be worth checking out. If there's one conclusion I got out of this thread so far is that it is pretty much something you have to learn and practice in advance and then hope to use appropriately, there's no sure-way or easy way of finding a pattern once you're already faced with a problem.

  • Seems like on one hand, programmers (online at least) are really against being questioned during interviews about whether they "live the code" and spend their free time on contributing to other projects or developing their own, but if this is really the only way to learn stuff like that then maybe they have a point. I was hoping there's a better way but I guess it's the same as always - work enough and hope the stuff you learn ends up being useful one day...

  • Maybe I'm using the word pattern wrong but I meant like builder, factory or visitor pattern, but on a more wide scale also stuff like dependency injection / IoC - basically "techniques" that are not bound to a specific language but rather provide a design by which some things can be accomplished better. Afaik those are not related to specific languages
