I’d be afraid of anyone referencing “c:\users” too.
That’s “C:\\Users” to you
OP meant to say “click on My Computer,” but not everyone is super tech-savvy.
/home
Ah you mean 127.0.0.1?

It’s ok. I see a tilde. And yes, ~
I see a tidle, daddy~
brb washing my… yea all of it
Wait I’m confused is this about people developing cloud software or is this about people who do their development on a remote cloud machine? It seems to be about the latter but I’ve never seen that
Oooh the latter would make so much more sense! I’m not a cloud developer, but a good chunk of the code I write runs in AWS Lambdas and EC2 Images and I was so confused as to what relation that would even have to local storage. If anything, I’m afraid of Terraform and it’s arcane power
I’d say it’s about cloud techs being “scared” of the local storage.
As it’s usually linux on servers and windows on-prem workstations I’d say it’s them being scared of storing anything locally.That would make sense if it didn’t use a Windows file path :D
*you’re
Or like 95% of my college students. :(
That’s hilarious, OP! Now do Vibe coding!
K bet
Is Git Hub not considered a cloud? Why does it matter where one stores files, what does that have to do with ability? Or is this really about developing the technology, and in turn provoking said fear in people? (I am not a developer)
GitHub is where you store your code, but it’s not where it’s actually run
GitHub is code social media not hosting.
My Windows libraries are mapped to my G Drive. Save it in Desktop, Downloads, Pictures, whatever? Backed up on a local (shitty) RAID and automatically uploaded to my Google account. Burn my house down, I got it all for $100 bucks a year insurance.
XDG dirs please and thank you
I love cloud IDEs. I love being unable to setup anything to my liking. I love using the slowest most inefficient defaults they have for us. I love being unable to code without logging in into a website. I love never learning 90% of the technologies I will be using daily and all the problems that come with it.
I hate how Chrome is the only browser that gives web developers an actually useful way to use local folders on the user’s device.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System_API
The File System API — with extensions provided via the File System Access API to access files on the device file system — allows read, write and file management capabilities.
Uhhh, what? Firefox uses Chrome’s API to do the same stuff? Am I missing something here?
Oh, does it work in Firefox now? When I was developing a music app it only worked properly on Chrome and I had to use a file picker workaround for Firefox and other browsers.
More afraid of having to write / test code on windows than anything.
