    RE: https://phpc.social/@Albright/116458235702258765 Yeah so I might have a huge opening for more client work in the near future. I&amp;#39;ve got nearly 2 decades of professional experience writing PHP as a human, and I can also do client-side JS and databases and sysadmin and so on, but I don&amp;#39;t live in California and my rates are relatively affordable. Hit me up if you have some work that needs doing.

    The AI/LLM field is interesting in that it seems to be so complex that even experts in the field can only speak of it euphemistically - two people will say things like &amp;quot;it decided&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;it reasoned&amp;quot; to each other even when they both know it is incapable of deciding or reasoning. I can&amp;#39;t think of any other fields where experts will speak so loosely and imprecisely about what is actually being done.

    No, it&amp;#39;s okay. Don&amp;#39;t expose vital parts of the API of your JavaScript library to people trying to use it in the browser (the only place where JavaScript should ever be used). It&amp;#39;s fine. Your software can only be partially functional to developers writing code for browsers. It&amp;#39;s fine.

    RE: https://phpc.social/@Albright/116458235702258765 Okay, so it&amp;#39;s not Claude Code she&amp;#39;s using, but just… Claude, a browser-based chat thing. I forget they&amp;#39;re different products sometimes. But this means there&amp;#39;s no way she can get her &amp;quot;work&amp;quot; to me but these huge ZIP archives of files - it can&amp;#39;t interact with Git repos. I&amp;#39;m at a loss to come up with how we can make a workable workflow here because every iteration of changes is goi...

    About to embark on a project involving GeoJSON. The data my client has is currently a bunch of points/markers but they want to be able to do lines, polygons, etc. Trying to decide if we want to keep the point data as just a table with X and Y integer columns in the DB or if I want to learn the built-in MySQL/MariaDB geometry stuff. Anyone have any experience with it?

    Oh God, we&amp;#39;re about to see an endless bounty of idiots using JavaScript to lay out text like in a magazine, aren&amp;#39;t we And then in ten years the pendulum will swing back and laying out text instantly with just CSS in a single column with no image cut-outs will become fashionable again, with some trendy-sounding name, but most people will still be using JavaScript for something you should never ever *ever* use JavaScript for and it won&amp;#39;t entirely catch on I hate the moder...

    Anyone else noticing an increase in the number of emails from scammers wanting to set up that &amp;quot;relationship&amp;quot; where you apply for jobs but their team actually does them? You know, &amp;quot;I came across your GitHub profile&amp;quot; ones. What&amp;#39;s the name for that racket…

    Recently got to experience the gut-wrenching, ancient mystical horror that is a long-time existing client saying &amp;quot;So I&amp;#39;ve been playing with this Claude Code thing recently, and--&amp;quot;

    Finally trying to knuckle down and build a test project with Laravel and the tutorial I&#39;m using keeps using words like &quot;magic&quot; and &quot;superpowers&quot; and I&#39;m hating the world I remember Laravel having problems like this in its early years too and it looks like it didn&#39;t go away as the project has aged and matured. Or, rather, failed to mature, at least in this way.
