SSH a headache when trying to test connection on GITHUB

Jay Mishra — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 14:17:24 +0000

Hi community! Today when I was working on GitHub for testing my ssh connection through
ssh -T git@github.com I got to this error of display in the terminal i.e.

git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

When I tried to find out what the exact reason of this error, as when I have already configured my username and email using the
git config --global user.name
&

git config --global user.email
so why it's showing this error, do anyone have any idea about this?

Manually loading extensions aka Sideloading

Jay Mishra — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 06:05:41 +0000

Sideloading : - /terms used to describe the process of installing software obtained from a third-party source rather than an official retailer.

In the context of mobile devices, sideloading typically refers to the transfer of apps from web sources that are not vendor-approved

For example, when referring to Android apps, “sideloading” typically means installing an application package in APK format onto an Android device. Such packages are usually downloaded from websites other than the official app store Google Play.

Same goes with the Microsoft edge extension

During the development, you can use the Microsoft Edge browser to run and debug your extensions safely.

By sideloading your extensions locally in your browser, You can run and test your extension without changing any settings.
This helps you test new extensions safely

Directly go to the edge://extensions.
Turn on the developer mode toggle. (in the end of the sidebar).
When installing your extension for the first time, click the Load unpacked button

(The Select the extension directory dialog opens)

Select the directory that contains your extension source files, and then click the Select Folder button. Your extension is installed in your browser. it will look the same as installed from the store. That is how you can manually install extensions to your edge browser

Well that's it you are now a pro extensions developer. Good luck! 😉

The Plight of Web Developers in the Tech Industry: A Focus on India

Jay Mishra — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 13:23:52 +0000

Hello, Dev.to community! Today, I'd like to shed some light on an issue that's close to my heart - the challenges faced by web developers in the tech industry, particularly in India, and more specifically those coming from backgrounds like PHP.

The Undervaluing of PHP Developers 💔

Despite PHP being a versatile and powerful language that powers over 78% of all websites, PHP developers often find themselves undervalued and underappreciated. This is particularly true in India, where the rapid growth of the tech industry has not been without its growing pains.

Exploitation in the Workplace 😓

Many companies, intentionally or not, exploit web developers in several ways:

Long Working Hours: Web developers are often expected to work long hours and weekends. While dedication is important, this can lead to burnout and affect the quality of work.
Low Compensation: Despite the high demand for their skills, many web developers are not compensated fairly for their work. This is especially true for PHP developers who are often paid less than their peers who specialize in other languages.
Lack of Recognition: Web developers' contributions often go unnoticed, as their work is "behind the scenes". This lack of recognition can be demotivating.
Limited Career Growth: Many companies do not provide clear career progression paths for their web developers. This lack of growth opportunities can lead to job dissatisfaction.
Delayed or Denied Payments: Some companies take advantage of developers by delaying or even denying payment for their work. This can lead to financial crises and extreme stress, especially for those who have relocated to expensive cities with high living costs.

The Way Forward 🌈

While these issues are disheartening, it's important to remember that change is possible. Companies need to recognize the value that web developers bring and treat them with the respect they deserve. Fair compensation, reasonable working hours, recognition, timely payments, and opportunities for growth should be the norm, not the exception.

As developers, we can also take steps to improve our situation. This includes continuously upgrading our skills, networking with other professionals, and advocating for our rights at the workplace.

Let's start a conversation about this. Share your experiences and thoughts in the comments below!

Hello Dev.to, I’m a WordPress and PHP Enthusiast!

Jay Mishra — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 00:13:49 +0000

Hello everyone! 👋

I’m excited to join the dev.to community and connect with other developers. I’m a professional WordPress and PHP developer, and I absolutely love working with both.

My Journey

I started my journey as a PHP developer, building dynamic websites and web applications. PHP is a powerful scripting language that allows you to create complex and secure web applications. It’s been an incredible journey learning and mastering PHP.

Later, I discovered WordPress and was amazed by its simplicity and flexibility. WordPress is not just a blogging platform; it’s a full-fledged content management system that powers over 30% of the web. I’ve been working with WordPress for several years now, creating custom themes, plugins, and even contributing to the core.

Why I Love WordPress and PHP

What I love about WordPress is its simplicity and flexibility. You can create anything from a simple blog to an e-commerce store with WordPress. And with PHP, you can add any functionality you want to your WordPress site.

PHP is also a great language for web development. It’s easy to learn, yet powerful enough to build complex web applications. And with the latest updates in PHP 7 and 8, it’s become even more efficient and secure.

What I’ll Be Sharing

I’ll be sharing my knowledge and experience in WordPress and PHP development here on dev.to. Expect posts on:

Building custom themes in WordPress
Developing plugins for WordPress
Advanced PHP techniques
Security best practices in PHP and WordPress
Performance optimization for WordPress sites
And much more!

Let’s Connect!

I’m looking forward to connecting with other developers here on dev.to. If you’re working with WordPress or PHP, or if you’re interested in learning or discussing more about them, let’s connect! Feel free to leave a comment or send me a message.

Happy coding! 🚀
