Today, I found out that my company is moving the SDLC 100% to AI. Humans will no longer read or write code. We are also building out an AI code pipeline that removes engineers from the loop entirely. Which I think will eventually culminate in layoffs. I think my company is on the bleeding edge, but what are you...

Before I could even see the dashboard, it asked for my company size, industry, role, team size, annual revenue, and what I hoped to achieve in the next 12 months. Then it asked me to book a demo. A demo. For a product I was already logged into. Somewhere there's probably a product team celebrating their...

Hey web devs, has anyone actually tracked the real viewport resolution of their users (with js)? I'm trying to figure out how many people don't maximize their browser and just keep it in a resized window. LLMs claim that 75% of people don't use maximized windows, but I seriously doubt that's accurate. P.S. I'm not...

There are times when I basically have nothing to do for 10 or 15 minutes while my agent chugs away. I often find myself reading Twitter or Reddit during these times which doesn't seem like a good use of my time. I don't have a ton of tasks in my backlog, so nothing really to work on there either. I'm looking for...

Looking for a forum with bulletin board style UI. Not the newer all in one platforms, but simple, list format forums. Think PhpBB or SMF. I’m trying to find a newer software in this style, because all the ones I’ve found use PHP, which is quite dated. Is there a modern forum software like this that I can self host?

I noticed Zak Kohler's post about a new web framework Roux in the Roc zulip. It looks really fast in his benchmarks compared to Go and Rust. How is that possible? I'm guessing he is using some tricks with io\_uring and an LLVM optimised build. [https://github.com/Eldhus/roux](https://github.com/Eldhus/roux)

hello y'all, so mainly I'm a back-end dev but in my company (especially since it's startup) and with the current state of development and how much is it powered by AI what is required from us in team has expanded beyond our actual roles, need advice on what to do to improve my outcome one the front-end side of...

Im looking for a new queue for a Node/TS app running on Kubernetes. My main requirements: * Strict FIFO per key, with only one job in flight per key. Different keys run in parallel (SQS has Message groups I think) * Cloud-agnostic and self-hostable, so no SQS * Handles large bursts (obviously, since its a...

Running a Wordpress site hosted on GoDaddy (not my choice) and all emails are timing out. There is no domain-specific email set up, so I’m attempting to use Post SMTP to send emails through a @yahoo email account. Tests already checked and thing done: \- attempts using both ports 465 and 587. \- yahoo external...

I'm using Google translate to help me After Adobe programs that took years were completely designed in just a few weeks using AI, can we truly say that AI has started to surpass programmers themselves?

Hey everyone! I'm planning to build a free browser-based multiplayer game, but instead of jumping straight into development with a random idea, I figured I'd ask the people who would actually play it. I'm curious about what kind of multiplayer games people genuinely enjoy or wish existed. It could be...

Hey guys. I'm a web developer and have a job but unsure if I can pass future interviews, because when I get a technical question like a basic loop problem, "program that starts counting from **1** and increases by **1** during each iteration, stopping once it reaches 5**".** This is incredibly incompetent and...

What’s the best way to learn an ecommerce platform/plugin like Shopify, SureCart, FluentCart, etc. without products to sell? Do they offer a sandbox environment to learn the ropes and build your skill set? Thank you.

I saw the old rule that you shouldn’t review more than 200 to 400 lines in one sitting from a Cisco study of 2,500 reviews, and if you go past that point (i.e 400), the quality of reviews starts becoming bad. I would guess most teams are past that now. Salesforce has reported PRs regularly going over 20 files and...

My first web dev job, I vibe coded almost all of the components. It was a small agency comprised of just my boss and a designer. My boss knew how to code but he needed more hands on deck to help him out with the amount of clients he was handling. I came in expecting to learn more about PHP and Shopify Liquid, but...

I've been working in web development for 20 years. First 10 years were more backend focussed, but the last 10 years were more frontend, where my passion lies. Working for an agency, mainly working on medium sized projects. These past few months have been confronting. Unlike many others, I really like the usage of...

Hey everyone, I am trying to save the image in the xamp img folder, but due to some reason I am unable to do that. I don't know what the problem is, however, I am able to save the picture in the different folder and then copy and paste it from that into the XAMP image folder but I can't directly save on xampp image...

I'm looking for an LLM powered framework, tool or service that i can give a list of QA scenarios to test my PRs and produce evidence of it working or failing, each demo should be polished, smooth cursor movements and properly show case the given QA scenario. Traditionally we'd use playwright and write our e2e...
