I wrote a simple article about #Pie (new extensions installer) for #PHP, which shows installation and usage in #Docker builds (both Debian and Alpine). Looking forward for the tool's further development 🤞😊. blog.codito.dev/2024/11/pie-ne…

Modern browsers can send an HTTP request using an alternative mechanism to fetch(). Use navigator.sendBeacon() to fire off a POST request and let the browser guarantee its completion even when page is closed. navigator.sendBeacon("/log", analyticsData); developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…

At Ignite, Satya Nadella just unveiled our sweeping new agentic future for Copilot Workspace. Workspace is the most advanced – and the first – agentic IDE. Built right in the GitHub Issue, Workspace deploys five agents to get you all the way to the pull request: Brainstorm. Spec.

SQLite has the awesome functionality to add functions written in PHP. And PDO which Laravel uses, supports this! Has anyone experimented with adding support like this to Laravel? It would be super helpful if packages could add functions to use 🔥

The Element Capture API is now in Chrome 132 beta. This API enables web apps to restrict screen capturing to a single DOM element. Demo link: 👇

I couldn’t stop thinking about this react escape hatch, this pattern is so simple yet incredibly effective in real-world react applications. so, i decided to create a few examples of how this pattern could be used.

Always thought that my “superpower” as a software engineer was attention to detail. But it’s even more so that I care. Only a person who genuinely cares about what they do can take initiative and go the extra mile. That makes all the difference!

NEW: Microsoft just dropped a library for converting Office files to markdown. It's super fast and easy to use. I built an app for you to try it out. Here it is converting a boilerplate pptx.

Every day on YouTube, people upload 4 million videos and watch 5 billion videos. Handling this staggering traffic requires a vast fleet of servers. So when a new request comes in, where does it go? How do you balance load across so many servers for so many jobs? I love this

There’s a series of tasks where the “delegation overhead” to another person is greater than the time & energy spent in doing it yourself. There’s serialization overhead (writing down the spec of inputs and outputs), verification overhead, context-switching / async overhead. I

IMO, the biggest issue here isn’t a forgotten return, but bloating code with a boilerplate added to almost every line effectively making success scenarios incomprehensible. Exceptions is the way to emphasize a happy path without compromising error handling! #programming
