Challenge 2025

I know some of us like to joke, including me but when someone is posting something very serious, I don't think it is appropriate to make fun of it.
You can create a joke in Chit Chat forum of course with pointless topic as you like but I think right at the place.
I don't know in any culture that you can make a joke in a funeral and make a big laugh on the deceased. Maybe there are parts of world who do it but not in every part of the world. Maybe the deceased is a comedian then it may at the right place to pay a courtesy tribute (courtesy means in a polite way). If the deceased is an engineer and you try to make fun of the invention that it is a joke to the world saying that it will never be realize or have no value to the world in any mean then it is a disrespect.
I am having bad health recently and I feel myself will not live long. I have visited some hospital, clinic and treatments. I think as long as I live I want to do something to contribute to the society. Maybe you don't see me anymore one day.
It's okay for anyone who disagree with me. I really like to joke. In fact people who laugh the loudest may be the saddest person in the room. It is just away for him to hide his emotion. I may not old enough to learn the whole meaning of life but I have some sort of psychic power or can read someone's mind. Many times my guessing is 100% accurate. It's up to you what I wrote here is a joke to you.

Hi members,
Don't get me wrong. I don't mean we can't joke.
If you know how to say something and we both laugh together and not offending me at the same time then you have succeeded. Otherwise, don't.
There is no point your joke is not understandable by the person you want to communicate.
You know? It sound not as easy as you might think.

Even professional TV hosts can make a mistake when interviewing a guest. It created an awkward moment. It will shows the weakness of the host not understanding the sensitive issue of the guest. If the host keep going and doesn't feel something wrong about it then it is his/her wisdom not up to par as a professional host.
I give an example of an interview of Stephen Chow (comedy actor/director) by host Lu Yu when the host asked "do you think you are handsome?" and she keep laughing on the guest. The guest did not think it is a funny joke but the host keep on and not apologize.

I learn that there are 2 people in the world that are always right. 1 is woman, 2nd is customer. When they are wrong, you want keep argue with them then you are the one who will lose. But when they are right and you are wrong but you insist your customer is wrong, then you are going to lose even more. I think as a businessman, first always acknowledge customer point of view and recall back if ourself really do any wrong. I think we should not have a mindset that I am always right all the time.

I would blame the "Internet" or social media today. When someone shares a good information. There are always haters who give negative comments. Things become worse when other netizens support and like these comments without thinking critically. This adds up the damage. This has become a norm. I have seen news happened in my country that the victim of abuse lost her life by committing suicide but the offenders just punish with a fine of few dollars. This is very sad and wrong. I don't want to see this kind of thing happen. We tend to forget that keyboard can be a weapon.

It is stated in the forum guideline that troll is strictly not allowed. Please wrote responsibly.

If someone already tell you he get offended, I advise you to better stop putting oil to the fire and keep on defending yourself.

Lastly, again you can always disagree with me but try put yourself at someone's shoe.

I'm sincerely sorry if you thought they were offensive words, they are not, I've written it several times
But even more I'm sorry to hear that this is a particularly delicate moment in your life, which I hope will be resolved as soon as possible
I see that you write 'not apologize' with underline, I'm led to think that it is addressed to me as an invitation to apologize
I assure you that I would do it, if only there was something to apologize for

I regret that this thread has becoming so long. My initial intention is to post some updates to my progress but it turned out become a mess now. I want to apologize if anyone reading this in the future.
Moderator can delete this thread.

Compliments of the new year yall.

I hope you get well soon @aeric .

As most of what we do as coders is rather repetitive in nature, I have been thinking about your proposal. You write very good code, structurally too.

I would like to propose you develop a low code builder for your tools. You give it some settings, a database connection (MySQL / SQLite), it gets the schema and you set up a few things and it generates working source code based on the templates you have developed, for example, CRUD, modal, table listing and also generate the rest api for reads, updates, deletes and writes.

Yes, whilts the Web Template you did, provides the basic approach on how to create controllers, crud functions including the rest api, based on the repetitive nature that one might have to do, assuming you have this large app you need to create, automating the process of creating such "similar" functionality code modules and classes based on different tables and columns would be an awesome addition.

I am prepared to send certificates of appreciation for such a tool in addition to your plans this year. Please think about it.

Have yourself an awesome day further.

Thanks Mashiane.
I have thought to build a CMS web app like WordPress.

   • An open source version is published but very limited
   • Another unpublished version aka Web API Server v3.0 in development
2. e-Commerce
   • Finding a good template, UI and JS to incorporate into this project
3. CMS
   • To make it a multipurpose web builder kit
   • To add a WYSIWYG text editor
4. EndsMeet Maker
   • A web based drag and drop designer to create the templates for above projects
5. Web based POS
6. e-Invoicing service for my local market
