We are a Java shop and we are pretty much evenly split between VS Code and IntelliJ. Personally, I like VS Code better.
I did used to use Eclipse. The one thing that Eclipse did better was if I was looking for some text I could search across all the repositories in one place.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I'd probably install both the first time around. See what's what.

Anyone know of a good book for learning Google API's? Something beginner level and up to date?
Thanks

I went out to Google APIs Explorer | Google Developers[^]
Ran this code on in the JS console on that page:
let allGapi = "";
let counter= 0;
document.querySelectorAll(".name-column").forEach(x => allGapi += `${++counter}. ${x.textContent}\n`);
console.log(allGapi);
Gave me this list of all the Google APIs.

If you want to make your script even more 1337, you could get automatic indexing by using console.table[^] instead.

I asked because the Google API docs are pitifully lacking. For example, look at this:
https://developers.google.com/people/v1/contacts
There's 'peopleService' in the code, yet no mention of what is is. I searched all over and finally found this, which is the best top to bottom example I've found: Accessing the People API from C# / .NET
Their docs are typical. Show a few lines that mention the topic, but not enough to make sense of it.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Yeah, I understand & agree 100%. I wasn't trying to be a smart-*ss (altho herself says it comes naturally for me) was just not sure which API you'd be interested in.
I also couldn't believe how many there are -- even for Google.

That does seem to be the Dev-Way. 
Here's my fav meme (image) that shows devs' relation to docs[^].

You should publish that script as the Google API API.
However you might want to fix it first. I'm currently a registered user of just 5 Google APIs, and not a single one of them appears in your list. According to my "Enabled APIs" page, I'm using:
* Geocoding API
* Maps Javascript API
* Directions API
* Distance Matrix API
* Maps Embed API
My guess is that if these aren't in your list, then probably dozens - if not hundreds of others - aren't either.

Uh, the list is from Google's API Explorer.
I cannot update the Google API explorer.
Please submit your request to the correct office. Thanks yous.

LOL - I wasn't having a go at your list. Just observing that the list you generated is the tip of an iceberg. Seems even Google's own API explorer has some major shortcomings - heaven help the rest of us!

Now that some time has past ...
When I say use a browser and not an app, it's not because I'm against the "owner" of the app; it's their having direct access to my device, its sensor, GPS and its data.
Recent events and what are claimed to be new "features" (involving "your" data) should make this somewhat more clear.

In the case of my iphone, I DON'T WANT all those 157 stinking, overly specialized, half the time flakey, way too often wanting to update, apps on my phone!
|
|
|
|

Yup. The older and (hopefully) wiser you get, you realize apps designed to steal your time and attention are very expensive in terms of your life... even if they were free to download.
Jeremy Falcon
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, what Craig said.
I install very few "apps", I definitely prefer to use a browser when possible. But for me it's not about the data either; it more about experience and convenience. For example, when viewing Instagram I can use "open link in a new tab" (or whatever) and have multiple tabs open to the same site -- as far as I can tell, the "app" doesn't allow that.

So, I saw this infoworld blog pass by, discussing how full-stack is a fallacy in and of itself.
The take away being that a good team consists of specialized people, backend and frontend.
Not people that "pretend to know it all" and "take twice as long to do anything".
This notion has ruffled my feathers the wrong way, for a couple of major reasons.
- I run a very small team, about half the size of a typical team within our company.
- Every team member is full-stack, from junior to senior.
- Every year, for the past 3 years, we are attributed at least 50% of the entire value proposition created each year.
We are not specifically gifted, we don't pretend to know it all, and we regularly make mistakes.
Even still, our delivered quality is regarded as exemplary, and by far, we innovate, iterate and improve the most, relative to the other teams.
So, what's going on here?
Why do we succeed, while teams with dedicated backends and frontends seemingly require more time and coordination to succeed, in the same company?
Ironically, for exactly the same reasons as written in that blog post.
We work together and we specialize.
The key being, we don't specialize on arbitrary lines.
We specialize in our understanding of the code.
Because all of us can do the same tasks, we are regularly confronted with our strengths and weaknesses, and the entire team can give feedback and advice to each other, on everything.
Instead of artificially limiting the scope of tasks each developers gets assigned, we can and do collaborate on everything.
Instead of creating an artificial wall where ownerships gets handed over, each developer can complete a feature or bug from start to finish.
Instead of creating little islands of specialized knowledge, where only 1 or 2 people can ask critical questions, everyone within the team can ask critical question about anything they don't fully understand.
And we don't fully understand very often, and ask a lot of dumb questions.. which is very good when it comes to quality!
The end result is that all of our solutions are easy to understand, have a single owner, and are never over-engineered.
Yes, teamwork is essential. But having a team that actually works together is a prerequisite for that!
And as a side bonus:
- we caution each other to not take on to much work at once, because we can assess each others workloads
- we actually feel like a team of equals, regardless of personal experience
- the personal gratification we get when ownership is respected, and gets critical acclaim by clients, results in an astronomically high eNPS
