      We nagged our highschool around 97-98 until we got a programming course, we wanted c++ but the IT guy thought c++ would just be a fad, so we learned turbopascal.

      I still do.

      I wish they’d open source Delphi (and most of the libraries). Might actually breathe some life back into it.

    I used to be very opinionated about programming languages but now I just really love all of them.

    Sure some might not be the best tool for some jobs but maintaining a language is insane and just such a mind-blowing endevour.

    I used to develop with PHP all the time . That was back in 2010 when my teenage soul still had hope and dreams. Can someone still developing tell me what I should use for the backend today? Also I can never understand GIT as a single developer. The fuck is that? I’ve tried everything to understand.

      I recommend checking out Python (Django) and Ruby (Ruby on Rails) if you want nice and easy modern Web frameworks that also aren’t that weird if you have PHP experience.

      Also I can never understand GIT as a single developer. The fuck is that? I’ve tried everything to understand.

      Versioning your code with Git makes it much easier to experiment with new ideas. Cocked up a file? Pull it from the previous version. Create new branches for experiments, merge them in if they work, toss them if they don’t, or keep them around just in case, without them ever getting in your way in the “real” version.

      And if you keep the code in a server (GitHub etc), that gives you a backup location and makes it easier to work on code on multiple systems.

      I’m a single developer and I use it. It’s a great way to backup your files on the cloud with versionning.

      never understand GIT as a single developer.

      I use it to make it easier to work on stuff from my desktop, laptop, from windows or from Linux…

    Nope, JS is “You think you are nerd”.

    Also, why React is there? It’s a lib not a language

    Ah, yes. My favourite programming language (checks notes) HTML…

    If your favourite programming language is HTML, we do not grant you the title of Nerd.

    A real nerd would know that React is a library and HTML is a markup language, and neither are programming languages.
