You can also construct programs in Turing complete languages to always halt (e.g. by bounding the number of iterations of all loops, usually with the tradeoff of limited input size).

Surprised to find 0 mentions of state machines, which they seem to have rediscovered, in this article.

Reach out to other contractors who you’ve worked with directly (e.g. worked on the same project at a former employer) and valued/praised your work.

…or they might have determined that they‘d rather spend their time on something else.

Keeping control is a (mostly time) commitment and liability. You have to stay on top of things and actively decide on issues that inadvertently come up.

Chrome Dev Tools has had that feature (for css specifically, not transpiled languages) for years. https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/workspaces/

We used to have full WYSIWYG editors in browsers as far back as the 90s (including deployment via FTP). Specialized editors just seem to have always been the preference for developers.

Workaround for anyone struggling with this: Use the Import feature from the Files menu instead of the usual Open dialog for csv files. You can change decimal separators in the import wizard.

This development style might be a better DX for the teams. But Facebook on the web is an absolute dumpster fire if you use it in a professional capacity.

You can't trust it to actually save changes you've made, it might just fail without an error message or sometimes it soft-locks until you reload the page. Even on a reliable connection. Error handling in SPAs is just lacking in general, and a big part of that is that they can't automatically fall back to simple browser error pages.

Google seems to be one of the few that do pretty good on that front, but they also seem to be more deliberate for which products they build SPAs.

Merge conflicts that must be resolved by the user (i.e. when there is no logical way to determine the priority of two offline changes) are still an application specific problem, even with CRDTs. You can build structures that allow storing conflict resolutions in CRDTs, but getting them right is still like half the problem to solve.

It's important to note that AppleCare is Apple's manufacturer warranty, which doesn't have to be 2 years. The counter-party for the 2 year warranty in EU consumer law is the seller, which might or might not be Apple (e.g. if you buy your device from Amazon or your carrier).
