Debugging for Mobile Browsers

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Occasionally, web developers need to debug a web app's behaviour in a specific browser on a specific device or class of devices. For desktop devices this usually isn't a problem because every modern browser nowadays provides a console, where application errors and custom console.log statements pile up. However, on mobile browsers there's usually no browser console, or browser development tools, for that matter. Analysing browser logs is still possible via vendors' development tools like Apple's ...

Improving Developer UX

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Software engineer and data scientist Gabriel Pickard recently has published an article about developer experience being fundamentally harder than normal UX.

No-code, Low-code, Some Code and Everything In-between

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.CTO-for-hire (through Freeman Clarke) Alex Hudson recently wrote an article about what he terms "The 'No Code' Delusion": That so-called no-code and low-code tools will replace bespoke business software development entirely, no trained software developers required anymore. In a nutshell, it's the old pipe dream of just having to write a specification (in this case a visual one) and having the actual code write itself, the fallacy here of course being that the code is ...

Jess Frazelle: “For the Love of Pipes”

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Somewhat recently, Jess Frazelle wrote about her love of UNIX pipes, a sentiment I wholeheartedly share, to the extent that I think web apps should behave more like Unix programs by making data readily available via APIs so other applications can easily process that data. This, in a nutshell, is the Unix philosophy as stated by Doug McIlroy: Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old ...
