Regular expressions in general, i've used to do the same for reduce but then I saw one definition that I always remember
Reduce argument order was a common search for me as well, but repeating "prev, curr, ind, arr" a million times eventually made me learn it 😄
"acc, item".. was the one that done it for me, I don't know why I always found it "prev" wierd, like, it's not the previous value is the accumulation of the previous values, I know that you can argue that "prev" means the previous returned value, but I always got confused because of this 😄 it's funny how much naming is important in programming and how different people have a different understanding of the names
I use regex101.com/ constantly
regex
regex is a classic, I've been through the whole HackerRank's regex course last year but still find myself searching for specific regex patterns
Exactly, I was considering to learn everything there is on it (like taking some advanced course or smth), tho I decided not to. While you know what you can do with it and it's use cases, you can quickly search it up thanks to sites like RegExr and Regex101.
Yup. Same.
Even now I don't know it that well I have to constantly keep googling it to remember different patterns. If we used it day to day then I think we would learn it better. I watched a video where a developer was using regex for daily productivity.
Always is the datetime UNIX formats. I just don't get this hehe.
I've come to a conclusion that, no mater how experienced you are, dealing with Date always require some hours of googling.
This isn't just a #beginners thing. I've been developing for a long time but have mental blocks with certain syntax. I was just writing up a post about the things I have to look up all the time.
For Typescript/Javascript I never remember when to do 'for of' or 'for in' when iterating an array or iterable. No matter what language I am writing in I wind up having to look up the syntax for initializing a Map or Dictionary with a bunch of values.
Indeed not a #beginners only thing! My reasoning behind the tag is so that junior devs can see that it is perfectly normal to search for code 😄
I decided to post this question when I realised that despite having 10 years experience making websites I still need to Google how to add a .css file with
<link />We lose what we don't use
Regex 😁
Not sure if you can call it "code", but I need to lookup css all the time.
CSS might not be a programming language but it is a kind of code nonetheless 🙂
One CSS thing that I always search for is gradients syntax and
display: gridstuffIt's totally a programming language... / but - it's ok if you don't agree.
background-image: url($url);- is a function that goes and sends an HTTP request for an image based on an argument.CSS in general probably doesn't count - because it's like - an entire language / but "Is it text-decoration or font-style...?" - is surely what this discussion is about! haha
It does count, yes! 😄
For me if it is a matter of property name DevTools suggestions works great. But if it is a whole concept like Grid, Gradients or Flexbox, then I have to search it
Freaking Adapters in Android.
It makes me happy to know that some things never change, haha.
A quick way to kill all sleeping MySQL connections, I've finally put a one-liner together and saved it here.
How to make a triangle in CSS. You know those that you apply on :after.
always googled :)
Space in html :/
Its the kind of thing, you tend to forget all the time 😂😂
No-Break-SPace =>
Now that is helpful. Thanks!
Even basic jq filters. That tool is so powerful and awesome, but also a major brainfuck. 😊
"metaviewport" tag - but we use textExpander now... so - yeah. Also "box-sizing paul irish"
Literally all string and array functions since I switch between 3 languages a day. My latest one was the syntax for uppercasing a string in JavaScript.
I still have some muscle memory from PHP times so I always try Array.explode() and wonder why it is not working before remembering that it's Array.split() in JS 😩
LOL! I hadn't worked in PHP in so long and I've completely forgotten about this.
But now it's a bit of a solved problem unless you're using an old editor like Notepad++, Sublime, or Atom. The editors that are timeless (sans Notepad++, and emacs), all seem to have decent LSP (language server protocol) support now to provide "intellisense" for auto-completion and linting at minimum.
Not code, but the switches for keygen to get the ssh key setup for ya know, everything.
Ditto. I think part of the reason is I rarely do it. I set up a machine then use it for a long time. Fresh machine and it's Google time to get the key generated and the agent working with git properly.
Exactly, same thing for me. I know the command, I know the switches I want, I just don't always remember the specifics of em'! :)
