This is my first Show HN. I tried revving up the forgotten language of PHP to create eCertificates. The full source code used in the YouTube Live Stream is available here and it's Open Source. Feel free to contribute to it. Looking for feedback on this from the community.
For some reason it started popping up in my feeds, and it's very great to see. Plus, this is the time, most of them can achieve something in the quarantine period. :)
I have seen some people who are hunting jobs Feb, they can look at it and download the course too. BTW, you can download the course contents and watch it later.
Just give your personal email or create one and give it. :) I know it's kinda wrong, but yea, if you're privacy concerned, there are throwaway emails too.
My point of view: Even I have the same aversion towards TypeScript. I feel it's about the language construct. Coming from a PHP & JavaScript background, I love the duck typed languages - as opposed to the typed ones.
I love the freedom of assignment without declaring the data type and mixing & matching the assignment of different types of data and reusing the variable. I don't really see a reason why should I use TypeScript, if I am coding stuff with, say, Notepad or Vim.
The main issue here is the catch-all. Even I was suprised to find out this was an anti pattern. The concern here is unnecessary requests and routing for a brute force attacker.
