What's that piece of code that you have to Google *every time*?

"Is it .splice(), .slice() or .explode()?"

regex

[Vitor Paladini]

regex is a classic, I've been through the whole HackerRank's regex course last year but still find myself searching for specific regex patterns

[Madza]

Exactly, I was considering to learn everything there is on it (like taking some advanced course or smth), tho I decided not to. While you know what you can do with it and it's use cases, you can quickly search it up thanks to sites like RegExr and Regex101.

[Andrew Baisden]

Even now I don't know it that well I have to constantly keep googling it to remember different patterns. If we used it day to day then I think we would learn it better. I watched a video where a developer was using regex for daily productivity.

[Nicholas Fazzolari]

Yup. Same.

[Marcell Cruz]

Regular expressions in general, i've used to do the same for reduce but then I saw one definition that I always remember

[Vitor Paladini]

Reduce argument order was a common search for me as well, but repeating "prev, curr, ind, arr" a million times eventually made me learn it 😄

[Marcell Cruz]

"acc, item".. was the one that done it for me, I don't know why I always found it "prev" wierd, like, it's not the previous value is the accumulation of the previous values, I know that you can argue that "prev" means the previous returned value, but I always got confused because of this 😄 it's funny how much naming is important in programming and how different people have a different understanding of the names

[Meir Gabay]

I use regex101.com/ constantly

How to make a triangle in CSS. You know those that you apply on :after.

[Amrish Kushwaha]

always googled :)

[Michiel Hendriks]

That and String.format when it's not a simple %s

[Mumin Gazi]

Space in html :/

[Yogesh S]

Its the kind of thing, you tend to forget all the time 😂😂

[Victor Osório]

No-Break-SPace =>  

[Mumin Gazi]

Now that is helpful. Thanks!

Not sure if you can call it "code", but I need to lookup css all the time.

[Vitor Paladini]

CSS might not be a programming language but it is a kind of code nonetheless 🙂

One CSS thing that I always search for is gradients syntax and display: grid stuff

[perpetual . education]

It's totally a programming language... / but - it's ok if you don't agree.

background-image: url($url); - is a function that goes and sends an HTTP request for an image based on an argument.

[perpetual . education]

CSS in general probably doesn't count - because it's like - an entire language / but "Is it text-decoration or font-style...?" - is surely what this discussion is about! haha

[Vitor Paladini]

It does count, yes! 😄

For me if it is a matter of property name DevTools suggestions works great. But if it is a whole concept like Grid, Gradients or Flexbox, then I have to search it

[Björn Grunde]

Every single haystack/needle argument order for any PHP function that uses them.
I mean did the core team meeting go like:
Dev1: Hey let's decide the order for arguments in array functions.
Dev1: I think we should use the order; needle, haystack, optional.
Dev2: That's not fun. Let the order always be random, also let's make those functions also solve several problems at once so we can have more arguments thrown in.
Rest of devs: Applauds

For PHP in general, DateTime, DateTimezone, and how to create a format string for the DateTime::format() method.

For WordPress, the parameters for wp_enqueue_script() and wp_enqueue_style().

[Eber Reta]

I also always look for Datetime and strtotime function in PHP 🤣

[Vitor Paladini]

It makes me happy to know that some things never change, haha.

[André Matias]

Always is the datetime UNIX formats. I just don't get this hehe.

[Vitor Paladini]

I've come to a conclusion that, no mater how experienced you are, dealing with Date always require some hours of googling.
