The One Thing Nobody Seems To Be Talking About

The One Thing Nobody Seems To Be Talking About

The first thing that I think that happens to most of us software developers that causes us to lose hope is we are forced to cut corners. We are basically told you have to hit a certain deadline. And we start doing some work and when we get close to that deadline, we inevitably realize that it is going to take us longer than we thought. And if you are anybody that has been programming, or doing software development. Whether you are in Ops, or UX or any discipline related to software development, you know that estimates in software development…

Goodbye Webflow, Hello Our Shiny New Website

Goodbye Webflow, Hello Our Shiny New Website

“That's it! I'm done with Webflow! It's been nothing but a nightmare. We're moving to a headless CMS, and we're doing it now. No more wasting time!”... is what could have easily been heard about two months ago in our office, after (yet again) discussing whether to make a move to a headless CMS for our company website or not. In reality the discussion was much longer and much more boring to sum up here. But what is true, is that for the past few months we have been working hard to revamp our website after growing frustrated with Webflow,…

Modernizing Bootstrap in a C# .NET Codebase: A Python-Powered Migration from 3 to 5

Modernizing Bootstrap in a C# .NET Codebase: A Python-Powered Migration from 3 to 5

Introduction As a developer, I recently found myself faced with an exciting challenge: modernizing a legacy C# .NET codebase that was still using Bootstrap 3. The goal was clear - bring the project up to speed with the latest Bootstrap 5. However, I quickly realized that making such a significant leap could be risky and time-consuming. That's when I decided to take a phased approach: First, migrate from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 4 Then, once stable, make the jump from Bootstrap 4 to Bootstrap 5 This strategy would allow for a more manageable transition, easier debugging, and a smoother overall…

Getting the Actual Client IP When Using Application Load Balancer (ALB) in AWS Lambda

Getting the Actual Client IP When Using Application Load Balancer (ALB) in AWS Lambda

When I was new to AWS, I faced an interesting challenge while working on a task to digitally sign a document, which required the client's IP as part of the e-signature. Initially, I was thrilled when the implementation seemed to work perfectly the first time. However, my excitement was short-lived. During testing, I noticed that the same IP address was being returned, even when I accessed the application from different machines. It was then that I realized the IP address I was receiving was not the actual client IP but the IP of the load balancer. This discovery led me…

Why is unserializing an object in PHP a bad idea?

Why is unserializing an object in PHP a bad idea?

Serializing in PHP is a way of converting a PHP object into a string. This string can be used in various ways, such as storing it in a database or passing it to another function. The PHP documentation says this is handy when passing PHP values around without losing their type and structure. But I have never had that problem before. Maybe I’m not seeing it. <?php $test = new User(); $test->name = "Denzyl"; echo serialize($test); /// Output: O:4:"User":1:{s:4:"name";s:6:"Denzyl";} Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode So, let's digest the string. The o stands for Object, and the following number is…
