Got a friend looking for PHP devs at @HardyFinch in the North West - if that might be you, ping me or @adrianhardy.

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

@ben_nuttall I’m really struggling to place where and when this is… Do you know where we are?

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

@blizzke Yes exactly. But my Chrome browser supports LetsEncrypt sites, so possibly whatever provides XMLHttpRequest in Cordova doesn’t have the same security model/certs as Chrome browser.

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

That thing where you learn a new tech to provide feature X, but in doing so, you have to remove feature Y because you don’t know how to do it (yet).

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

Crucially, it only failed to work when using release/prod build profile. If using dev builds, it worked.

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

Bizarre issue with cordova/ionic phone app: XMLHttpRequest failed to connect to https endpoint secured using LetsEncrypt. Swapped to “real” cert, request works no issue.

Anyone else had this?

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

@myfirstraygun Yeah I’m kicking that can down the road .. I’ve got too many projects to go through them now so I’ll just hit that wall when it happens.

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

Used brew to install yarn, node updated, kept getting errors while trying to do a simple “npm -v”. Found /usr/local/lib/node_modules, blitzed it, re-brewed and everything now works.

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

Nothing _that_ exciting guys … I just wrote a graphing adapter which used “Value Objects” rather than models and yes - it paid off :)

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

Tonight I’ll find out if a planned, thought-out, technical decision made ~2 years ago has worked out for the best...

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

Is there a twitter tag for when a tech project gets struck by a Daylight Savings Time / GMT-BST bug?

@stuherbert I'm now on the lookout for my Mac exit strategy, so mini reviews like this are helpful :)

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

@myfirstraygun @factoidfan @CBeebiesHQ I'm really pleased our youngest is into Sarah and Duck. Duck is a comedy genius.

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

Is JMSSerializer really worth it? I can’t help but think that it’s bringing a lot of weight and magic to a simple mapping-ish task… #Symfony

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

Has anyone else received an (unsolicited) email with the subject “Survey to Understand Developer Difficulties Using Continuous Integration”?

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

@phpnwConf I can’t decide if I’m such a person. A *lot* has happened in ten years and I’m not sure what I did ten days ago if I’m honest.

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

@andrewpatkinson disagree .. there’ll be some mishap where your name still (somehow) comes out of the hat @phpnwConf

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

@Paul85D I need to ease myself into these discussions. Next time I’ll start with something less divisive, like American politics.

[Adrian Hardy @adrianhardy]

@ben_nuttall on the upside, the ensuing discussion has reminded me that I really want to learn Go.
