That’s a very one-dimensional view of technical debt.

I was about to write something more, but I think if I don’t know what they refer to when they say “knowledge”, then it’s too wishy-washy and I may be talking about something different than they intended.

Contrasting “resolving technical debt” and “investing [improvement] knowledge” we’re moving the reference view point.

I document state and issues as technical debt, and opportunities for change as opportunities. They cross, but are distinct concepts, and do not always cross. Some technical debt may be documented without a documented opportunity. Opportunities may be open improvements that do not tackle technical debt.

In my eyes, technical debt is about burdens that reduce maintainability where better alternatives likely exist.

“Investing knowledge” is something different, and not necessarily about known burdens, but may be improvements unrelated to known burdens.

I also want locally deleted files to be deleted on the server.

Sometimes I even move files around (I believe in directory structure) and again, git deals with this perfectly. If it weren’t for the lossless-to-lossy caveat.

It would be perfect if my script could recognize that just like git does, instead of deleting and reuploading the same file to a different location.

If you were to use Git, deleted files get deleted in the working copy, but not in history. It’s still there, taking up disk space, although no transmission.

I’d look at existing backup and file sync solutions. They may have what you want.

For an implementation, I would work with an index. If you store paths + file size + content checksum you can match files under different paths. If you compare local index and remote you could identify file moves and do the move on the remote site too.

Your git repo might get very big after some time. Especially if you move files.

Moving files does not noticeably increase git repo size. The files are stored as blob objects. Changing their path does not duplicate them.

Supporting soft subs is a complex topic though. Three formats, font embedding, positioning and animations. It’s a ton of effort, and anything less than “full featureset support” will mean they don’t render how you design them in your full-set editor and local media play. And there will be differences and bugs, at least for a while. I suspect font rendering with various fonts in a media render context will have it’s own set of issues.

I also think it’d be nice, but I can totally see how it may not make sense technically (complexity with its burdens vs need) or economically.

Browsers are already absurdly complex though so… maybe? :P

At my work we explored a low-code platform. It was not low on code at all. Beyond the simplest demos you had to code everything in javascript, but in a convoluted, intransparend, undocumented environment with a horrendous editing UI. Of course their marketing was something different than that.

That was not the early days of low-code mind you. It was rather recently; maybe three or four years ago.

I’d love to read a list of those instances/claims/tech

I imagine one of them was low-code/no-code?

/edit: I see such a list is what the posted link is about.

I’m surprised there’s not low-code/no-code in that list.

If that’s how you draw conclusions… damn

But I guess it’s your fav language so you won’t take any criticism right?

If that’s your take I’ll just leave it at that.

I would hate to have header files with separate / duplicate declarations.

If I want an interface I’ll create an interface type.

Other languages have terminology like throw and break. We’re not too far off.

How do you enjoy like Azure DevOps?

I recently had the pleasure of working with it. Thank god I only set up CI for a different team and I’m not part of that project.

Try out the fork furrier

C# is pretty much my fav

You mean specifically net framework or net >= 6 as well?

Where can I find this language called violence?

Template-C++ is not C++ after all /s

I think the front and back end of PHP are pretty similar. They are both the same letter P after all.

🤑

How am I supposed to remember those?

On word boundaries? But that would be way too predictable!

So why do you join them uninvited? /s
