5. PHP
6. C/C++
7. Ruby
8. Go

A command-line client for SQLite databases that has auto-completion and syntax highlighting.

Non. Ça c’est le genre de tricks qui marchent, mais qui rendent le code illisible. Il suffit d'utiliser parseInt(div.dataset.nb) puisque oui, dans le DOM, tout est chaînes de caractères.

Là au moins tu es sûr d'avoir affaire à un entier, et tu ne prends pas de risques avec les conversions de type automatiques de JS.

Je n'avais jamais entendu ce terme... Sous cet acronyme se cache la théorie consistant à dissocier clairement les opérations de lecture et d'écriture.

Le billet est intéressant et bien écrit. Finalement, ça ressemble à ce que j'ai vu dans quasiment tous les projets où on se retrouve avec du traitement massif de données, même si personne ne l'avait explicité sous ce nom : on est obligé de gérer différemment la lecture et de l'écriture pour des questions de performances.

Par exemple on construit des index ElasticSearch à partir de données de référence présentes dans une base type SQL ou Mongo.

You can use simple tricks like:

• Givens should be in the past tense
• Whens should be in the present tense
• Thens should be in the future tense (often using "should" or "will")

Tips to write Behat like tests.

New readonly property feature coming up with PHP 8.1. I still like me some getters, though. But it could be useful in DTO as mentioned in the article.

J’ai codé un jeu gratuit en 3D dans le navigateur, librement explorable, à travers des univers infinis générés de manière procédurale en JavaScript. L’objectif ? Aller d’univers en univers et découvrir l’origine de tout.
C’est carrément une histoire en quatre chapitres avec une révélation épique à la fin.

Impressionnant.
Il faudra que je revienne dessus pour me pencher sur l'exploration et les détails techniques.

Interesting view regarding software engineering in general. Have we become so Agile that we can no longer think ahead beyond next week?

Also, I love that sentence:

In a model in which you pour user stories into a sausage machine, and you get a demo at the end of it (or a feature production release in a DevOps shop!) there is no room for purposeful, structured problem analysis anymore.

Un outil de visualisation qui fait de beaux diagrammes à partir d'un repo Github. Inutile, et donc indispensable !

Une library JS qui remplace tout le code jQuery en vanilla JS. J'aurais aimé avoir découvert ça il y a quelques années...

Bon, attention quand même, c'est en v0.0.2, ne cassez pas votre prod.

Another HTTP client.

Calcule la taille d'une dépendance npm.

Tableau blanc en ligne, avec une fonction de collaboration. Pas de compte. Open-source.

Multiple languages and tools cheatsheets.

Plein de choses utiles ! Je vais en extraire quelques uns ici.

#PHP Enums vote closes today: 44 yes an 7 no; enums are coming in PHP 8.1!

Un article d'introduction sur les mutation tests en PHP, avec Infection.

Pour avoir déjà joué avec, c'est assez fun, et ça permet de se poser pas mal de questions sur la qualité de notre code. Par contre, c'est très chronophage.
