We use it on Azure, but I don’t always want some files in version control. I might just want things for myself to share across both machines.

Plus I really don’t care what Microsoft is or isn’t tracking on my work machines. If my company is satisfied with us using everything Microsoft then who am I to complain.

For reference on what we use of Microsoft:

• Azure for Git, BlobStorage, hosting, database storage, etc
• Office Suite - never imagined I would work so much on excel as a dev, but every project so far has required reading from or writing to excel.
• Visual Studio Professional
• C# .net and entity framework
• Typescript mainly with React
• Teams
• One drive
• CoPilot integration in Visual Studio Professional, which saves countless hours in writing code, as it learns your standards. It’s like Intellisense on steroids.
• SQL Server Management Studio

There’s probably more that I can’t think of right now. We have an honourable mention of GraphQL as a wrapper for our API.

We have a list of approved software we can install and that isn’t one of them.

Not always an option.

We use windows at work, which is annoying as a software developer, and I WFH three days a week. I need some files available on both machines and cloud is the best option. I’m not about to be taking a flash drive between home and work.

Thanks

Thanks.

Which generation would you recommend? As used.

There are cases of AI using NotTheOnion as a source for its answer.

It doesn’t understand context. That’s not to say I am saying it’s completely useless, hell I’m a software developer and our company uses CoPilot in Visual Studio Professional and it’s amazing.

People can criticise the flaws in it, without people doing it because it’s popular to dunk on it. Don’t shill for AI and actually take a critical approach to its pros and cons.

So my first role as a developer I’m working on an application that runs various classes for children, the parents sign up but it’s children they’re booking for.

We use reactstrap and there is a package called buttonasync and it has a method of executingChildren, let’s say I was a little confused.

return (
            <Form onSubmit={onSubmit}>
				<FormGroup>
                    <Label htmlFor="name">Name</Label>
                    <Input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" value={props.name} />
                </FormGroup>

				<ButtonAsync type="submit" color="primary" isExecuting={isSaving}
					executingChildren={<><FontAwesomeIcon icon="spinner" spin /> Saving...</>}>
					<FontAwesomeIcon icon="save" /> Save
				</ButtonAsync>
            </Form>

There is. I think they used to run on iOS, hence the upscaling of the apps to the larger screen.

Wiki iPadOS 17

Edit: iPadOS Wiki adding this if you’re curious about the why and when they diverged.

Hey you do you bro I’m not about to tell you how to do your shit, but I think the consensus here is pretty clear.

Anyways if it works for you then no harm no foul, just seems counter to anybody I’ve ever interacted with that’s a developer. (That’s sounds like I’m saying you’re not, and I don’t mean it that way.).

What? Are you an actual developer.

It’s pure insanity to work like you suggested. Sure it can be done, I used to work on a Mac and had no monitors but it wastes time switching between displays.

I’ll work with 2-3 monitors.

If it two then I’ll have my IDE on one and if I’m working on UI then I have the application open on the other. That way I change some CSS, save and glance left to see how it looks now. If I’m not doing UI work and I’m working on the server then my other monitor is used for the spec document, SQL server management and just web browsing.

On a three monitor setup then the third one would be where I would keep my email client open with teams.

I am literally at a loss for words with your weird take.

That’s because they didn’t make an iPad app and so it was just the iOS app on a large screen. Lots of app used to be like this until they made iPadOS versions.

Im a developer and I should not be allowed to wing it with UI/UX design.

Awesome. Thanks for the insight.

How does doas differ from sudo?

Never heard of the former until now.

I don’t think your manager is sane.

Why on earth would we move back to JavaScript at this point.

Disclosure: I am a TypeScript dev and my boss is fully invested in Microsoft at this point. We use C# .Net and we use Azure and Teams.

The phone one is a great idea, no?

On iOS you can use shortcuts to hit a web hook and on Android I’m sure the options are endless.

I have thought about this problem before and I like the phone idea.

What does it offer that would make it better? Just curious and I’m not in a position to change out tech stack at work though.

People do things for no reason dude. It’s fun to just run with something and escape reality for a while.

I got my first software developer role last year and it was the first time I’d written C#, I was more TypeScript. Now we use both but I must say I really like C# now that I’m used to it.
