I’m up to 537 lines of server code, 2278 lines in my script, and 226 in my API interfacing, I’m actually super proud of it haha.

But you’re totally right, there are things I read that I just have no clue what they even mean or if I should know it, and probably use all the wrong terminology. I feel like I should probably go back to the start and find a course to teach me properly. I’ve probably learned so many bad habits. It doesn’t help that I learned JS before ES6 so I need to force myself not to use var and force myself to understand and use arrow functions.

I absolutely know that the way I’ve written the program will make some people cringe, but I don’t know any better. There are a few sections where I’m like “would that actually be what a real, commercial web app would do, or have I convoluted everything?”

For example, the entire thing is just one 129-line html file. I just hide and unhide divs when I need a new page or anything gets changed. I’m assuming that’s a bad thing, but it works, it looks good, and I don’t know any better!

For a personal tool that runs locally I can handle some bloat in the name of safety!

Awesome, thanks for the info. Definitely super useful for debug mode whilst I’m fixing and tampering!

Because I’m relatively new at this type of thing, how does that appear on the front end? I’m using a js/html front end and a jsnode backend. Would I just see a popup before I make any changes?

I did when I made the query a year ago. Dumdum sleep deprived brain thought it would look more organised this way

Me only know caveman. Not have big brain only smooth brain

Thanks, I’ll look into it! I’m interested in why you got downvoted though! 😅

It is after the event that I find that postgres’ WAL journalling is off by default 🙃

Oh I did that like a year ago.

And then last night had an error that led me back near this code and stupidly thought “hey it’d look neater if those numbers were in order”

My only education is a super helpful guy from Reddit who taught me the basics of setting up a back end with nodejs and postgres. After that it’s just been me, the references and stack overflow.

I have NO education about actual practises and protocol. This was just a tool I made to make my work easier and faster, which I check in and update every few months to make it better.

I just open vscode, run node server.js to get started, and within server.js is a direct link to my database using the SQL above. It works, has worked for a year or two, and I don’t know any other way I should be working. Happy to learn though!

(but of course this has set me back so much it would have been quicker not to make the tool at all)

Oh please not another version to fight over pip with. (This comment was tongue in cheek, of course progress is good)

But that’s only auto after a manual button press, that’s half the auto! In lastpass when I visited a page, it would just fill it in and log in for me without any input.

Sometimes bit warden doesn’t even realise it has a password for the site because it’s looking for a specific URL rather than a wildcard match to the domain.

I used 3dsmax until I started uni and was forced to use Maya. Then trying to learn zbrush and mudbox. And then marmoset, and then early 2000s blender, it was too much for my poor brain to wrap around so many different UIs with so many different workflows.

Then my uni lied to me about how much I’d learn, then about overseas exchange, and then about getting a work placement (they just gave me an email address for a modeller who didn’t respond) and left me with no useful skills so I gave up completely.

I have so much wasted useless 15 year old 3d knowledge in my brain.

It is great and I do use it, and it was super easy to export from lastpass

BUT the autofill is so unreliable in comparison, it’s annoying

I do agree, but on the other hand…

What does your brain do while reading and writing, if not predict patterns in text that seem correct and relevant based on the data you have seen in the past?

It’s not the same game at all, but crying suns is similar and on android and I’m really enjoying it!

LETTSSS GOOOOOO

I am but I’ve used windows for about 25 years so 🤷‍♂️
