Another terrible programmer checking in. I'm so sick of JavaScript frameworks that I fantasise about embedded C programming (following SHOEGAZE's posts vicariously ITT) and everyone I've ever worked with professionally thinks TDD "isn't worth it" which seems to be code for "I don't understand it and don't intend to"

Lately I'm entering a curious new phase of terribleness where all my functions look bug free but nothing works. Not until debugging/linting do I see / remember that I once again have forgotten to write any return statements. 9 times out of 10 this is my only problem, it's been happening for about a week and my brain is of no help when I'm actually writing out the function. Logic done? Then I'm done, who cares about returning values, the fact that they were ever computed should be enough.

JavaScript is much better than PHP this thread is insane. JavaScript’s framework and module ecosystem is easily as bad if not worse though.

I still keenly remember the presentation they showed us in first year Uni showing people with masters degrees make more than phds, and are less likely to be rejected for being overqualified. Might have been local data only though idk it was 10 years ago.

Sure adapt to your team, but what if you're coming in as the architect or tech lead? Probably should spend the first day using IDE/lint/an extremely unsafe regex to rewrite all existing code in your bracket and spacing style then recommit the entire code base to establish dominance.

Bloody posted:very good and great are both huge stretches imo. it's better than RLS but not by that much. it's just slightly less buggy, slightly less slow, and slightly more featured. it appears incapable of doing anything useful with the output of tools like clippy and idk if it's an intellij thing or a rust plug-in thing but its handling of compiler errors is basically useless I've been using VS Code and just run cargo from the terminal. Often the syntax highlighting is a little slow but I spent years working on systems that were further apart than the earth's radius so I hardly notice it. I'd still it to be better ofc. I might give Intellij a try. Is clippy any good though? I haven't used it because, you know, clippy.

Been meaning to post this for a bit now:gonadic io posted:Only thing about rust is you have to use intellij. No other IDE is nearly as good. gonadic io posted:i mean it's fine but it's also not obvious to beginners that that's what you need to do Hello from 3 months ago and thank you! I tried out IntelliJ IDEA for Rust when you mentioned it back in September and you were absolutely right. Object/method scanning and suggestions are so much faster and more complete, git integration is equally easy, theming ecosystem is not quite there but the other stuff more than makes up for it. Now that I'm writing stuff large enough to actually rub up against the borrow checker it's saving me a lot of time by highlighting my trivial mistakes so quickly. I've gone ahead and also switched over to PyCharm for my production python work and regret nothing.

It's worth pointing out as well that things weren't less poo poo in the past they were just poo poo in different ways. That poo poo gets fixed and new poo poo gets created or old poo poo that was less obvious becomes more apparent because the poo poo that was obscuring it is gone.
