Waiting for the army of swifties to singlehandedly take down ISIS

My point is sematics.

You can style your whole webpage with divs, but using main, nav, footer or whatever blocks is semantically more correct, because you group elements together that have a certain purpose.

A HTML Tag in the middle of a sentence is not wrong per se, but when parsing it a line break could signify two sentences where one has missing punctuation, instead of a complete sentence as your original intention was.

I don’t really care how the design you want is achieved to be honest, but I don’t get why the prof didn’t argue against.

Oh boy.

We had a class in the first semester of uni where we had to create a static html page based on a screenshot.

There was this one textbox at the top of the site, where the only way you could recreate the screenshot was by using a <br/> in the middle of the text.

The prof was very picky about your HTML being semantically thorough and correct, so that was super weird that that was necessary.

That worked quite well, haha 😄

This is tragically beautiful.

Did you copy paste this from somewhere?

Seems like we’re in the same boat, haha.

I also have a big backlog, and there are far more interesting options than their stuff.

Wasn’t Piranha Bytes not profitable for quite some time?

Their games certainly had a community of fans, but I don’t think those are enough to keep a whole studio afloat.

Just thinking out loud, I did not look at any numbers, but in my head what’s done them in is not producing games that feel good to play. I loved Gothic 3 and Arcania at the time, but I’d choose any other 3rd person RPG that actually has snappy controls over the more modern stuff like Elex and I feel like that’s the mainstream opinion going around.

100% that.

Especially that working software over comprehensive documentation part, which can be automated so easily if done right.

There’s so much value in TDD and providing a way to do integration and automated UI tests early on in a project, yet none of the companies I’ve worked at made use of it.

Also automated documentation tools like Swagger are almost criminally underutilised.

You can have the best tool in the world and still find people just hitting their own face with it.

I’m afraid that’s a hard pass, love.

Since witches are generally agreed upon to be nasty bitches, I’d argue they don’t care.

Thanks for the response. Seems like I can’t assume other CS degrees are comparable.

We definitely have a strong focus on security in my degree, but I still believe that awareness of what you’re running on your machine and potential dangers of those programs fall into the category of common sense. Mishandling secrets, having bad authentication or not knowing how to setup SSL is definitely experience stuff though.

Neither young or naive. Just assuming others share my experience.

Makes sense, I feel bad for the guys that were happy for a chance and got screwed over. (By the hackers, not you, haha)

That’s a bad take. Unless you get your knowledge purely from shady tutorials or have a fast track bootcamp education, it’s unlikely you never touch on security basics.

I’m a software design undergrad and had to take IT Sec classes. Other profs also touched on how to safely handle dependencies and such.

While IT Security is its own specialisation, blindly trusting source code others provide you with is something a good programmer shouldn’t do.

If you need a metaphor: Just because a woodworker specialises in tables, doesn’t mean they can’t build a chair.

Edit: Seems like my take is the bad one 😂

It’s sad that this works. You’d think especially software professionals would be the most vigilant about running unknown code.

The group I referenced had a paid membership. Scale that up and make it digital and you may end up with a gender exclusive social media app.

I get what you mean though, but I feel there’s a bit more nuance than what you imply.
