Windows XP for my first build, 99.9€ in 2006

I was a stupid kid and actually saved up for an entire year to buy my own copy of the Adobe suite. I was even more stupid because I decided to buy from a local shitbox who was known for scamming customers, huge price markups and rebate scams but were eventually shut down after they were finally busted.

I spent $2900 on it. Worked my fucking ass off for an entire year and could have easily used that money for a cheap car because I got my license the same year.

I looked online. Sure, you could pirate it for free but I was one of those idiot kids who thought all piracy was bad (even though I did torrent music lel). Price of the same suite just a month after I bought it was $1800. Less on ebay. Then I learned that I qualified for a student discount through my school which pushed it down to $900. Or better yet, previous version for even less.

It was one hell of a wake-up call. I think that I've only paid for steam games and Windows 7 once since then.

Yes, but only those with a superiority complex.

We all use debian

I have used arch for over a year and never experienced a problem.

When ever I build something like a small project I start with thinking how the User Interface should be and then begin working on the front end so I will know what the back end needs

Read up on lifecycle models, either you want agile development or a traditional cycle. Since you're working alone a traditional should work better.

I would suggest doing a very fast throwaway prototype if you're unsure of the requirements, since that's the first step.
So
>Write the requirements that you know
>Do a throwaway prototype
>Play around with it to understand the requirements better
>Do the requirements, system architecture and design
>Start working on your website

Working on the system without being very sure of the requirements it's a recipe for failure.

From top to bottom:
Requirements
List of features
Model of database
>Figure out what will be the most used query and optimise model so it will be easy in future to optimize more
Goto requirements again and repeat at least 3 times
>it is easier to change model early than late
how we will get rich?
>back again to features
How do we keep users in?
>back to features

Pick up database engine, OS, framework, ide, webserver
>pro tip: precompiled web applications have multiple advantages over let's say php

Start with blank html with no eye candy, you can alway hire designers later and implement features from easiest to more complex. Don't bother with advanced algo like: you might also want to buy this, use random.

>kiss
Keep it simple stupid
>json
If you manage to separate bussines logic and web ui, you will have muxh easier life later
>mvc
Model view controller
>unit test, integration tests
Your ide should allow you to easily write test so you won't break old stuff by adding new stuff
>browsers
Make one "mobile" and one full version of your web allow user to choose. If feature isn't supported everywhere, dont use it.
>javascript
libs like jquery tries to unite behavior amongst browsers - poorly, youhave been warned.
>localization
Consider making abstractions for date, numbers parsing and externalize ALL strings
>sql
Consider frameworks which allows you to generate sql "on the fly", but make sure it allows you to add custom query as well to save devs time
>users input
Sql injections, crosssite scripting, stealing cookies, ip spoofing, spamming buttons, it is all real
>session management
Best solution is to write your own, RAM is the best case, database is the worst
>acid
Atomicity,Consistency,Isolation,Durability is nice to have, but not alway neccesary
>logs
It is nice to know why servers are on fire. Don't put logs in db, also you need to tell fbi who put pizza on your site.
>https only
It is 2017
>pass
don't let users pick top10000 and consider anons

>arch
>impying you didn't just make an executable file with "screenfetch -A 'arch'"

If not explain how you pulled that one off m8.

RIP Linux

Dual boot motherfucker

dual boot. also linux doesn't have very bad driver support imo. at least it's not BSD lol

Microsoft will have bought Amazon, Kraft foods, Procter & Gamble, and Google will have bought Apple, Yahoo, and Sony. And all the others. There will be only 2 megatrusts on the planet. We'll all have computers implanted in our forearms. And stuff!

>>58112557
FreeBSD

If Arch stopped existing Id use gentoo.

>>58112557
Win7

>>58112474
It already came

>>58112523
I'm talking about a total shutdown.

>>58112561
no, all stock markets would crash to zero, because it is almost impossible to destroy all servers at once.

God told some schizo dude to write an OS, he said it had to be 640x480 16 color with no networking. Also he had a run in with a CIA nigger once and that set him on edge.
