  • VScode locally, vim if I’m shelled into something

    Used to use sublimetext, but roughly a decade ago VSCode ended up getting a lot of inertia, and that resulted in better plugins (at the time anyway)

    I’ve used the jetbrains stuff and I do not get the hype whatsoever, it’s bloaty and cumbersome.

    One of the main reasons I switched from vim as my main was ping-pong pair programming. I’m not gonna be the arsehole that tries to force a junior dev to figure out vim instead of actually working on the ticket. Still 100% my go-to in text mode though, it’s basically perfect.

    I don’t think I want it to be possible for someone’s glasses to die or freeze

    People do dangerous things that are made safer by the fact they can see—like driving

    Edit: you’ll need a prescription because the amount of focus it needs to do will be different for everyone and there isn’t a sensor to determine your eyesight


  • Flashbacks to one of my early freelance PHP gigs I did about 2 decades ago where I opened up the existing backend source code to find a load of unsanitised user input directly from the query string getting interpolated into the various SQL queries the application made. Part of me also feels like the “bobby tables” xkcd already existed by this point, so I’ve got no idea how that website managed to not get nuked before I refactored it.

    To top it all off, of course the application authenticated with the database using the root user…

    Thankfully I think that was the worst I ever discovered in the wild
