Ok this is driving me mad - I am working locally with a https #NextJS frontend trying to POST to a https #WordPress REST API endpoint. I am trying to configure CORS but SOMETHING in WordPress is adding a "access-control-allow-origin: *" header and I CANNOT get rid of it. Anybody got an idea? I have NO plugins running other than my custom one.

Dev journal:

Fixed a 'bug' where dynamic #Tailwind CSS classes were not rendering in #NextJS. Solution was to add the class names to a 'safelist' property in the tailwind config.

Unused styles are removed by static analysis therefore dynamically generated classes are unknown at this point and not included. The safelist includes these classes regardless.

I want to be a #nvim nerd so badly but wasting another hour figuring out some cryptic error in an ephemeral dialog box instead of coding has me thinking it's time to accept that it's over :(

While I’m out here looking for new connections in #Toronto I’m also a front end #webdev with 4 years experience in #React and #WordPress looking for work! It’s been a while and dog walking is getting tiring. I’m hireable in both Canada and US (via LLC) and willing to relocate! https://bsik.net

Hey #Toronto fediverse, I moved here from the states last year and so desperately miss playing in a band. I’m a #punk / #indie #guitarist in my 30s that would love to connect with #musicians and get something going. This tidal playlist has some bands I’ve been over the years https://tidal.com/browse/artist/11529328?u while my musical taste is a very wide range, I miss playing high energy loud distorted guitar music, in that regard I’ve currently been into Turnstile, Mannequin Pussy, and Otoboke Beaver

Just had a fairly disheartening networking call. I’ve been looking for work since July and basically the conversation went ā€œwell we outsource and they use Cursor to generate the projectsā€ and it really feels like this industry is dead? Should I really start looking elsewhere? #webdev #webdevelopment #FediHire #ai

Why is running Intelephense (`intelephense --version`) giving me an extremely long Node error?

I've uninstalled & reinstalled via Yarn and NPM with different versions of Node via NVM.

The output seems to just be the contents of "/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/intelephense/lib/intelephense.js" followed by "Error: Connection input stream is not set"

#intelephense #php #node #NodeJS

I know these clowns know exactly what they're doing and that they're intentionally lying, misrepresenting, etc, because it makes them money, but I still enjoy absolutely clowning on them:
