I re-posted but it was marked as dupe shrugs https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36516653

Missed a / at the end I'll repost

I hope we can keep this in the headlines. r/programming was the subreddit I mostly posted stuff from my reading list (one of the top submitters) to get feedback from comments and now I can't get in. Has the community from r/programming moved somewhere else? I'm posting here if anyone is interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/softwarecrafters/

I've started contributing to programming.dev

The JS Post talk about what everybody else don't already know. The non technical / non historical aspects of its success and the low barrier of entry. The Netscape story is well-known, should I have to repeat it all the time?

In regards to TDD did you actually see the step by step coding doing inside out? You write the test to justify the code you write not the code you've written, which means it's not implying test after the code.

In regards to management triangle I've written so much about that with references that it should be obvious by now what I'm talking about. Besides, the triangle is the first image in the post, what do you mean by not referencing it? It even links to the damn concept. What's the problem of explaining it?

Also, lean is to avoid waste and agile is just too subjective to even mention anywhere as a "thing" other than just a set of principles and values.

The whole post argues about a non-technical reason

yes but they've been building more stuff on top of it with modern 2023 tech.

If you're a programming writer, this could be handy to you. It supports Medium RSS, but I'm happy to get PRs for other RSS providers like dev.to or your own custom blog (as long as it follows a standard). I'm also happy to get PRs for publishing on other platforms besides Twitter and Linkedin.

You merely fork on Github and then set the secret vars. It should start running in less than 1 hour. No need to pay expensive hosting. Github Actions has 3000 minutes free which should be enough with a free account.

I did this instead of having to pay A$50AUD/month for Zapier and went to the extra effort to make it reusable to other programmers. I actually had the automation all done o Zapier before this. I hope we can collectively spread the world the Open Source way instead of each of us creating our own scripts.

Any feedback will be much appreciated. I hope you like it!

Here's an example run from today's last post: https://github.com/FagnerMartinsBrack/medium-watcher/actions... (expand "Run Notifications")

I think the last paragraph is the only that really makes sense

Yeah it was VanillaJS. Try to add a "modern" build system to vanillaJS and then let me know in 1-2 years time how it goes

What build system? Bro, it's literally a bunch of HTML and JS files. You ain't need any "build system" for that.

Are you using TypeScript, Babel, etc. or do you have to create code to check if the browser supports fat arrows, template literals, const, etc.? What's the size of your team and how many older browsers and old phone browsers do you have to support? If you have to support many browsers, want to use modern language features and you don't want to write code to check that the browser supports modern syntaxes then you do need a build system.
