One of the things that first made me fall in love with the cli was how fast doing things like this was. GUIs are hard, and can crash or use up resources for all sorts of different reasons wholly unrelated to the primary task you are trying to accomplish. Once I got over the learning curve of using the cli (and to be fair I’m still in the process of getting truly comfortable with it) I was able to do things so much faster and with less frustration.

Of course, I also don’t want to neglect that it’s not just a matter of the command line but just how good Linux is in this regard. Windows has a command line too and I hate using that thing.

AWS is getting their money regardless. The front end doesn’t matter, if the data/infrastructure is hosted on the backend with aws, they get paid for usage and the data (like the spice) must flow. I suppose by circumventing the website’s frontend you hurt that site’s bottom line by making them incur costs from AWS while not being able to monetize your visit. Which is at least something.

I’ve heard it’s one of the best (if you’re looking for a full IDE experience). I haven’t tried it yet but I am on the lookout to hear about what tools people like to use for c/c++ development. Do you have one that you prefer?

The Odin Project has a whole section dedicated to only front end js. But that might be a bit of overkill but they will cover everything you requested.

If you’re mainly interested in how communication between the front end and the backend works using JavaScript, I would look into rest APIs and the browser’s fetch API specifically.

Maybe it’s supposed to be “personnel”? HR hiring processes is dominated by bots now.

I don’t know if this is correct, but if it is, this is best answer to this question I’ve ever seen.

Ok that is good to know. As for qtcreator, it’s probably fine, just the first time I’ve used it and it didn’t have any of those features working correctly. And I already am familiar with jetbrains tools from Java development. I’ll just have to get it set up correctly. I know for sure I’ll be using it for its UI editing features.

The application is very resource heavy and is also designed for specific hardware, it can’t be run on the windows laptops we are provided. There are security concerns as well, which limit what I am allowed to do.

Currently I’m using vnc viewer to open a shell where I can run applications like qtcreator and get a gui interface. I’m sure I could run a local ide and ssh into the vm with it, but I know that can be tricky getting proper code coverage for jump to references to work. I guess I’ll try it and see what happens!

Interesting, I’ll probably still have to ask for permission to pull anything from the outside onto the vm, but hopefully will get less push back if it’s for a tool already installed and in use.

I’ve been using it via vnc, and was having a hard time with it. Perhaps I need to configure it correctly. Out of the box, jump to definition wasn’t working great and there doesn’t seem to be linting set up. Probably this is just me not knowing anything about c++ development and needing to do more research.
