I’ve been rallying against clever code for years!

Sure, it makes you have less lines for your l33t code solutions, but in the real world, it sacrifices the maintainability of code that others will eventually work on.

Between a clever 1 line fix and maintainable 10 line fix, I’ll choose the 10 line every time.

Yep. This feels just about right to me 🤘

Yeah, that tracks.

At work someone estimated adding a section of static content to a page that uses React as 3 story points.

They were searching for components that would style the header and paragraph elements just as they wanted them, but were coming up short.

Instead I simply added it with html elements and a couple of lines of CSS.

5 minutes. Done.

😐

Yeah, it’s kinda wild.

Roku channels are created using 2 proprietary languages, BrightScript and SceneGraph. You will never use them for anything other than creating Roku channels. 😐

You’re very welcome! I’ve since left the Roku team (I’m still on a few other teams) to work on my own client.

If you’re interested, it’s called viv and is available in the Roku channel store.

And since this is a programming community, here’s the source code: https://github.com/1hitsong/viv

This post is not about Jellyfin.

Do I get to drink from the firehose?

I’m a Waterfox user.

No particular reason. It doesn’t have much fluff and it works well. That’s all I ask for in a browser.

I suppose it depends on the issues you’re having.

You can try looking through https://forum.jellyfin.org/f-guides-walkthroughs-tutorials and see if anyone covers what you’re looking for.

If there’s nothing there, I’d suggest posting your issues in the troubleshooting forum to get help.
