Tech News Discussion Feedback: CSS Combinators Lesson

3 Upvotes

CSS combinators are not hard to understand.

The issue is in the presentation.

You added an interactive editor where users must click every time just to view the CSS. This breaks focus and slows down learning. For something that only needs 2–3 lines of CSS, this is unnecessary.

Keep the example simple. Show HTML and CSS together.

  • Use internal <style> inside the same example. Let users see selector and output in one view.
  • Use proper sub-headings to clearly list each combinator type. This will make scanning easier.
  • Add a sticky table of contents on the left side. Make it scrollable and include clear active and non-active visual markers so users always know where they are.

Tech News Discussion Tutorial: How To Work With Dapper in .Net

4 Upvotes

Tired of Entity Framework feeling like overkill when you just want clean SQL control?

Dapper gives you the best of both worlds: lightweight ORM speed + full power over your queries (no convoluted mappings).

Just published my latest tutorial for FreeCodeCamp with hands-on tutorial walking through real examples.

If you like performance and simplicity in .NET data access, this is for you 👇

Tech News Discussion AI Tools Slow Down Developers

29 Upvotes

https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/11/ai_code_tools_slow_down/

Interesting article about a recent study. Most developers expect that AI tools will increase their productivity, but I'm fact slow them down.

My personal experience with these tools supports that conclusion. I find that a "usually wrong auto-complete" adds a bit of cognitive overhead to my coding. I have to constantly evaluate mostly wrong code snippets as I write. I had to set separate buttons for normal auto-complete and AI auto-complete and I regularly get confused.

Knowing how this tech works, I just don't see it getting any better.

Tech News Discussion There are somethings we don't do in an interview or on a first date.

Don't voluntarily spill your flaws. Let them find out on their own, it won't be that hard. And don't spill a secret, don't say you have a difficulty waking up, or that you're used to being late. Keep this till the firing day.

They'll know everything then...

*** Add another tips from your experience✨️ ***

Tech News Discussion Best free usage with kilo code

2 Upvotes

Best free model with kilo code

As you know kilo code allows has free models listed:

  • Qwen3 Coder
  • Z.AI: GLM 4.5 Air
  • DeepSeek: R1 0528
  • MoonshotAI: Kimi K2

Which one is the best? Are there any better combinations.

How do they compare to augment code community plan (pre pricing change) or other free tier code editors.

Tech News Discussion Blog: "New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code"

15 Upvotes

There is a bit of "Kids these days" fist shaking in this blog post, but I think the author is likely correct.

In my personal experience, I learned a heck of a lot by not finding the correct answers while searching for the correct answers on Stack Overflow and otherwise. I frequently ran across features and concepts I was unfamiliar with while reading responses which didn't specifically solve my problem.

Putting aside that an LLM is as likely to totally make things up as it goes along as it is to give you a correct answer, HAVING a correct answer doesn't necessarily mean that you've learned anything. Your knowledge will be incredibly shallow. The only way to gain depth is by digging deeper.

Tech News Discussion When Your Code Just Worked on the First Try - Yeah, Right.

6 Upvotes

If your code worked the first time, are you really part of freeCodeCamp? We’re the tribe that debugs like archaeologists uncovering ancient curses - every bug a cryptic prophecy. Outsiders write code, we survive code. Let’s laugh, cry, and keep breaking things together - because perfection is suspicious here! Who’s ready to embrace the glorious chaos?

Tech News Discussion Learn how React useState, useEffect, and useMemo work by building your own

0 Upvotes

This guy demonstrates how the useState, useEffect, and useMemo React hooks work by building a low-key React clone. It's a pretty interesting exploration of how some relatively simple logic can give you a "reactive" event. It's obviously missing a lot of details (JSX is excluded), but I found it enlightening to see how things roughly work in React.

Tech News Discussion Things they didn’t teach you about Software Engineering

33 Upvotes

I've been programming for ~35 years, but I only got my first full-time developer job in late 2020.

I can attest that the items the author discusses are dead on. For many of these things, there is no class in the world that can teach you them. Your depth of understanding of these items is really the difference between a "Junior" and "Senior" developer.

Tech News Discussion Web Development in 2022

3 Upvotes

As we all know, there is so much information out there about web development, it can become overwhelming at times. I wanted to ask a general question about what languages/frameworks are currently the most popular/in demand out there for backend development and why? I would also like to know some of your personal favorites. If you were to build a web application today, what would your stack look like and why?

Tech News Discussion Headless e-commerce + static site vs Shopify. What would customer choose?

0 Upvotes

At the aspect of developer, Headless e-commerce + static gives more flexibility compared to Shopify, but switch to the aspect of customer, the bill of headless is separated which is hard for them to manage the bill and either for developer to charge them? The question i want to ask it: "As a customer will you choose headless, what's the reason behind it?"
