![]() ![]() So yeah, I think it's just filling one hole that we found with another.īrent: Mm-hmm (affirmative). We just started playing around Vue, we're using that in a few places. For you and for most people is that a function of just jQuery's old or jQuery's another dependency that you might want to get rid of, or what's the reason for doing that?ĭerek: I think for us it's jQuery was huge ten years ago, maybe more recent than that? And it's just one more dependency that we should be getting rid of now that we're doing some of our projects in React, we might do more of that in the future. I'm into Python mostly, but I'm currently trying to get a little more with familiar with JavaScript by replacing older jQuery references or functions with plain vanilla JavaScript.īrent: I've seen that that appears to almost a trend. JavaScript is one of the languages I'm fairly new to, it's just not something that I've had to deal with. I try to stay away going too deep but yeah, HTML, CSS JavaScript. or are you just writing your CSS straight up?ĭerek: For the marketing site and for all of our other sites because once you start writing in Sass it's really hard to go back to plain CSS but Sass compiles to CSS and it's fast, and you can nest as much as you want. And so, you're using JavaScript, HTML, do you have a preference on the Compass versus Sass versus. We have more websites, I seem to learn about a new one every day, and these all yours.ĭerek: Yeah, what do we have? In addition, we have support.omnigroup.ĭerek: Internally, we have Guidebook and I don't touch that often but if we needed some front-end changes that would be mine. So you're writing code, you're doing our marketing websites, which is, all the product pages, Inside OmniFocus, Inside OmniGraffle, I don't even know all what else. You have to write your own?īrent: You can write your own or find some, but often in BBEdit you might be writing your own, but it's a text editor that works the way Mac text editors are supposed to work in just the normal sense. ![]() Does BBEdit have extensibility?īrent: Oh, it certainly does, but probably not the large collection that Sublime Text has.ĭerek: Yeah, yeah. I tried it and I have more specific requirements about what I want my Mac apps to be like and it just wasn't quite there, so I'm still using BBEdit after all these years.ĭerek: It's not quite there, yeah. I've heard there's a large developer community around that. I tried Atom, which is GitHub's.ĭerek: It's great but it really consumes CPU cycles, so Troy, our previous front end, turned back-end, turned engineer, recommended Sublime Text quite a while ago and I finally tried that out, and that's a really nice extensible editor, especially for web development.īrent: Is the extensibility a big part of what you like about it?ĭerek: Being able to, in a few seconds, search for a plugin and install something for React or React Native is pretty nice.īrent: Oh yeah, that's cool. TextMate for a solid probably seven years. The 1X, 2X, 3X in Safari is pretty nice.īrent: So what is your text editor of choice?ĭerek: It used to be TextMate. Safari's responsive design mode is great, Chrome's is very good too. So, what kind of tools do you use to do that development? Do you use Safari's responsive design mode? Is that your go-to thing or are you surrounded by devices and just constantly checking things? How does that work?ĭerek: Yeah, definitely not a multi-device person. So yeah, Michelle does a great job and I would say almost all of our pages fit on an iPhone SE.īrent: It's amazing. Since I've been in this position, you notice just about every non-responsive web page. It's your job to make that work and Michelle's job to find all the places where it broke.ĭerek: Yeah, yeah. It's really not just the SE, but responsive design in general is. It's not my first choice to develop for the iPhone SE but it's Michelle's first choice.ĭerek: So, I start with huge monitors, and Michelle makes me make sure it fits on an iPhone SE.īrent: That actually probably is. I imagine most of your job is trying to make our marketing websites fit on an iPhone SE.ĭerek: That's true. Say hello, Derek.īrent: So, front-end web developer. In the studio with me today is Derek Reiff, front-end web developer here at The Omni Group.
