   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

• Ask HN: Web frameworks – which less popular framework are you using and why?

  It's been a long time since I wrote any PHP in anger but back when I did, I got a ton of mileage out of CodeIgniter (https://codeigniter.com/). It looks like it's still around and being actively maintained. I can quite clearly remember a number of projects that went from being just an idea to 90% functional in the span of an evening. I write Python almost exclusively now, but still pine for something like... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Want to access a controller variable in config.php file in Codeigniter 3

  Could you care to elaborate on the "CI3 is dangerously out of date" statement? What exactly makes it dangerous? The last version (3.1.11) was released in 2019, and until version 4.1 a few months ago, CI3 was still the current stable version. According to codeigniter.com, "This version is in maintenance, receiving mostly just security update". Source: almost 3 years ago

• Let's Play with the DEV API

  As we saw in the last section, the url of this endpoint is https://dev.to/api/articles. We also know that we can specify how many results we'll get back for each page. The default is 30, but I don't think we need that many for this example. I think 5 is more than enough for us to take a look at. So let's make a simple fetch request to this endpoint passing the per_page query parameter with a value of 5. - Source: dev.to / 7 days ago
