I feel like we as front end developers should be doing more static websites and server-side templating. Front end frameworks are marvels of engineering but shouldn't be the solution to every problem.

Designing means to write things down. Whiteboard and talk to people all you want, but you’re not designing if you’re not writing. Unless you design something trivially, you’ll need to apply structure. And writing is structured thinking. [github.com]

I've seen @Felienne's "Programming is Writing" talk three times now. It gets better every time, and I'm still thoroughly engaged. (I doubt that anyone hearing any of my talks multiple times could say the same.) I am in awe. #joyofcoding

Finally got some time today to work on xLayers for @angular. New features: 🔥 New built-in Monaco Code Editor (will be needed for the CodeGen feat.) 🔥 JS Parser for the Apple's Binary Property List format (font attr extractor) 🔥 New UI/UX 🔥 Landing Page (coming soon) [twitter.com]

I love #Angular, and I adore #AngularCLI especially, but this exploding number of packages is unjustifiable! Especially when most of them require using the same version of the others to work fine anyway. [twitter.com]

As more companies use @apollographql in production, we're stepping up repository maintenance efforts.🔥 Find out how in this post from #GraphQL aficionado @hughwillson! [dev-blog.apollodata.com]

10 years ago today: • jQuery was battling Dojo, YUI, and mootools for dominance • node.js wasn't a thing • Firebug was the only real developer tool • Chrome wasn't released yet • nobody took JavaScript devs seriously Things change a lot in 10 years.

i am not certain that invoke-command -scriptblock {iisreset} is the same as & {iisreset} ref: [stackoverflow.com] the official documentation [[docs.microsoft.com]] fails to recognize this equivalency => @awright18@alexandair@DonovanBrown@poshinside[twitter.com]

@BryanWilhite@DonovanBrown@awright18@alexandair@poshinside@StevenMurawski They should be exactly the same. I think @BrucePayette wrote this code so let's double check with the man!

@BryanWilhite@awright18@alexandair@poshinside@StevenMurawski might be able to help. And of course @jsnover

@DonovanBrown@awright18@alexandair@poshinside@StevenMurawski@jsnover Thx Donovan! Steve might be handy👍

@StevenMurawski@BryanWilhite@jsnover@DonovanBrown@awright18@alexandair@poshinside '&' executes in a child scope as does Invoke-Command. '.' executes in the current scope.

@BryanWilhite@jsnover@DonovanBrown@awright18@alexandair@poshinside@BrucePayette It may be. I'm mobile and can't test, but I believe the & executes in current scope. Invoke-command should be a subscope or another runspace iirc but I'll defer to @BrucePayette

@jsnover@DonovanBrown@awright18@alexandair@poshinside@StevenMurawski@BrucePayette Wow, thx @jsnover —I saw some other stuff on ServerFault about variable-scope being different between the two statements🤠

@BrucePayette@StevenMurawski@jsnover@DonovanBrown@awright18@alexandair@poshinside so, to clarify: & == Invoke-Command but what does '.' map to (no cmdlet)? Additionally, the assumption here is that is the same operator used in dot-sourcing, right?

@BryanWilhite@BrucePayette@StevenMurawski@DonovanBrown@awright18@alexandair@poshinside "." maps to Invoke-Command -NoNewScope {} [twitter.com]

@Alan_Florance@jsnover@BryanWilhite@BrucePayette@StevenMurawski@awright18@alexandair@poshinside I found this in @docsmsft[docs.microsoft.com]

@DonovanBrown@Alan_Florance@jsnover@BryanWilhite@BrucePayette@awright18@alexandair@poshinside@docsmsft I was going to suggest about_scopes :). It should also be in powershell's help.

@StevenMurawski@DonovanBrown@jsnover@BryanWilhite@BrucePayette@awright18@alexandair@poshinside@docsmsft Yes but this doesn't seem to cover things like module scope [mikefrobbins.com]

@jsnover@BryanWilhite@BrucePayette@StevenMurawski@DonovanBrown@awright18@alexandair@poshinside Is there any documentation that collects all the scoping rules for #PowerShell together in one place?

Has anyone else noticed that we tend to praise/respect developers who work for big companies and not listen as much to people who work for small ones? I think that's weird. People who work for small companies often have to wear a lot of hats and manage their time really well.
