That’s super helpful, thank you!

Interesting article, I don’t think I have a use for them though.

You’re absolutely right.

Oh great point. I’d add skiing to that category.

Awesome! I will try it out. Thanks!

I’ll have to give it a try

Saving memes is my main lemmy use case.

That’s an interesting point about depending too heavily on a debugger. I haven’t run into anyone too dependent on it, but I could see that happening.

To me, debuggers offer a tighter dev loop when there’s something you’re stuck on. They also let you ‘grok’ a call stack in an unfamiliar codebase. “Did this function get called?” “What’s in this variable?” etc.

How do people do stuff without debuggers? :D

Another way to develop would be through iterating within a Unit Test that you don’t plan to keep around.

Uh, I set a breakpoint and run the app?

To add a bit more context, it’s more difficult to configure a debugger when the application is running within something like Docker. How difficult? That depends on the language and tools you’re using.

I setup Anarch.is today. Feel free to create an account. Still need to write-up guidelines, enable community creation, etc. but it’s ready if you want to post/comment on other instances.

If we run into server load problems i’ll upgrade it. 😎

I think it mainly comes down to the project landing page being more friendly and the UI being more polished.

The landing page of join-lemmy.org doesn’t show what the website looks like. The only screenshots are of code and github. That section is geared towards potential instance administrators, not potential users.

This was the first thing I noticed when I downloaded it today. (Actually, second: I appreciated out the username/password worked with my password manager)

I just set one up via DigitalOcean and it was easy peasy. I’ll see how it goes and move it if needed.
