| Posted: 28 Oct 2019 08:28 AM PDT It is different when the business has other people, but for those who do it all themselves, just curious, who all has a plan? You have the password for your servers, your clients, maybe their domains... You are hit by a bus. Gone tomorrow.... What happens to their sites? Who do they contact. Who reaches out to them? Myself, for most of my work, even though I setup and maintain sites/VPS/registration for clients, everything is in their names, and even though they never use them, they do have saved somewhere the information, along with the name/number/email for a friend who taught me a lot of what I know about hosting, who knows I gave them his # and let them know he will help them if they need it. This person also has root password for the VPS I use to host a couple small sites, and since he would get contacted if something happened to me anyhow, he could reach out to the 2 that are not personal friends. And of course, there is the script I put in place 17 years ago, when I also did a will and other legal papers prior to a major surgery. My browser's home page is a particular page on my server. If I go a week without it getting hit, it e-mails several people I trust. It gives them a link to "snooze" for another week. If no one snoozes it, a week later many people get farewell emails. Kinda morbid... but they know I'm that much of a geek LOL That though is all personal contact and messages, but have considered adding a business set to give a reminder of who to contact if they need help with their sites.

| If you're an interviewer, please just ask what you're looking for Posted: 28 Oct 2019 09:05 AM PDT This is probably just another one of the many rants about coding interviews. I've read people failing their interviews because they didn't refactor their code, write tests or comments after they're done with the coding challenge. If you want to see candidates use git, ask for it. If you want to see them refactoring, write tests and comments, ask for it. It's not fair and a waste of everyone's time to sit back and observe if the candidates does what you want. them to do. They're not mind readers. After hearing all the awfully conducted interviewing experience since years ago, even in well known tech companies, I don't even feel like looking for better opportunities anymore.

| How I learned the basics of Vim Posted: 28 Oct 2019 03:27 AM PDT Hello everybody! For a long time, I never understood why so many developers were using Vim. After trying it seriously, I was very surprised how easy it is to learn, and how many CLIs use the same keystrokes! That's why I thought it would be a good idea to write an article how I learned the very basics of Vim, and share it with developers. I don't preach that you should get rid of your IDE from Hell and embrace Vim for everything, but instead trying to learn how it works. Because it's useful in many other CLIs, as I say above, but first and foremost because Vim is fun! In short, what this article will cover:

| Devs with ADD/ADHD: How do you cope with large and/or ambiguous projects? Posted: 28 Oct 2019 06:40 AM PDT I have struggled a lot with this, though maybe a little less since my diagnosis and medication. I'm pretty sure I lost a job because I got overwhelmed and couldn't make progress, and I'm hoping some of you have advice on how to deal. [link] [comments] | ||

| Best tools for testing your websites accessibility and suggesting fixes? Posted: 28 Oct 2019 08:11 AM PDT I have to do audits of all my sites for accessibility. Was wondering if anyone knows any really good tools to tell me what my site needs fixed for accessibility and what score my site is for accessibility. What do you use? [link] [comments] | ||
| How do I obtain this "moving" effect? Posted: 28 Oct 2019 09:45 AM PDT Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my native language. So something like this is the design I'm talking about: https://www.instagram.com/p/B0J54rqDKzt Let's say in 3 days, banging my head against a wall, I can make the same page but static. I'm now wondering, what should I learn in order to obtain the effect of a picture costantly moving (or even more, moving following mouse inputs? Let's say, I move my mouse to the right and the earth turns the same way)? Hope it's not a dumb question, thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| What framework/language should I be testing in React/Node/Express apps? Posted: 28 Oct 2019 02:21 PM PDT My typical setup involves having a React front-end with a Node.Js/Express backend for starters. I know a little bit about the basics of unit testing/ integration testing, but I am really looking to level up as a developer and start integrating TDD/units/int tests into my development cycle. My question is: Do I learn to test for just JavaScript and let the specific testing environment(Jasmine, Mocha, React-testing-library) be determined by the section of code I am working with? Or do I need to specifically go and learn Node.js testing, React testing, and JavaScript testing? I really see the value testing brings to code, but I guess I am just lost on where to go next in terms of learning. I greatly appreciate any and all information, thanks! [link] [comments] | ||

| Transitioning to a new job, any advice? Posted: 28 Oct 2019 04:14 PM PDT So I'm the rare, and probably stupid, person that has been at the same company for 10 years. I have put in my two weeks for another frankly lateral but better overall salary wise and work life balance wise position at a new company. I have never done this. Any advice on things that I should be doing that I may not have thought of? And also how do you hit the ground running at a new place? I'm a full stack engineer with React / Python if that helps.

| Tool for scroll animations, etc...? Posted: 28 Oct 2019 03:22 PM PDT Webflow is great for creating scroll animations, etc. but I don't want to be stuck in their platform. Anyone know of an app just intended for creating scroll animations that I can export as semantic html/css/js and drop into my own code? Edit: For example, kind of like the effect created here when scrolling. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 28 Oct 2019 03:15 PM PDT Hello, I am a student and want to get to working on solo projects but unsure of which path to take within development. I wanted to try a full stack project and currently on the process but I do not want to get too far and not use the right technologies or spend too much time in an area I shouldn't have. I've touched x86/MIPS, C, Java, C++ and Python so far for school but haven't done much besides assignments/small projects which usually comes with a lot of guidance at times. Here are my questions: What do I need to look for in a host? I see that some provide much more control but is there anything in particular I need to look for since I want to use multiple languages for different aspects. Any type of guidance to set me in the right path is greatly appreciated. This is my idea: I want to use text messaging as a form of interacting with my web app and allow others to interact with it and also to upload to my database. Reason is sms can sometimes be the only way to update anything without data especially at times of congestion. Front end - python(flask)/javascript(jquery)/html/css(bootstrap) Database - sqlite3 (will probably change it) Backend to DB - Python to interact with database(I wanted to use cython but unsure if I could use it on a web host) SMS backend - Java or Kotlin? I want to migrate from using the twilio api to using an android phone which would be used to receive texts and push as a post request which is what twilio does(I have an older Samsung 5 which I could use atm) I could also use a phone as a modem but I feel this will probably take a while for my level of experience.

| Posted: 28 Oct 2019 02:53 PM PDT I have a client that recently decided to bring their web development in house. While I hate losing a big client, they are requesting ALL of their migration files to include proprietary/custom tools that my team and I developed. I am requesting a one-time license fee for them to keep their site in working order but they have now said they don't feel they owe this fee. I know this is going to be a learning lesson for me either way but wanted to see if any of you had experience dealing with a situation like this? Is there language I can include in my contracts moving forward that makes this license fee clear? As info, in my contract that a previous manager (who's no longer there) signed, I have the following statement, " We'll own any intellectual property rights we've developed prior to, or developed separately from this project and not paid for by you. We'll own the unique combination of these elements that constitutes a complete design and we'll license its use to you, exclusively and in perpetuity for this project only, unless we agree otherwise."

| C# - MVC (cshtml) - Async populate model data Posted: 28 Oct 2019 02:52 PM PDT So I have what is probably a dumb question. In my model I have a list which I populate using an async call in the controller so it populates in the backend but in my cshtml I have a foreach loop through the list in the model to generate the tags. Will this refresh once the async method completes to loop through the results in the model on the cshtml page? Sorry I'm still fairly new but trying this out to optimize user experience.

| How to make responsive Email templates? Posted: 28 Oct 2019 02:37 PM PDT I feel like I'm missing something super simple here so I do apologise. But everyone keeps talking about using a <style> tag and media queries. I'm trying but Gmail strips <style> tag completely! I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. [link] [comments] | ||
| Is "Trainee Web Dev" A Real Job? Posted: 28 Oct 2019 08:59 AM PDT I'll start this off by saying I'm in kind of a corner right now, and I'm looking for a way to make this work, or I don't know what's going to happen to me. So ANY advice would be GREATLY appreciated. For the last eight years, I've worked as a marketing copywriter. I'm from South Africa, but I moved to the States (Florida) in 2017 to get married. Since then, I've worked at an agency in Daytona and things have gone steadily downhill with them. The pay is low, the work is inconsistent, and I've been applying as best I can at other agencies between here and Orlando, but the response has been lackluster. The market for what I do just isn't here, as the county's mostly focused on industrial. I also can't move for the next year or two, or I'd try to migrate. My wife is in nursing school and it's locked us in for the time being. So, I've been learning HTML and CSS, some JS, and am just starting WordPress, and my hope is to switch over and leave copywriting behind forever, because the taste in my mouth is so bad right now I'd actually just rather jump ship. But my wife just got sick, because the universe loves when you try to make plans. She has a spine condition, and it's degenerative, and our insurance sucks because we're living on just my sorry little salary right now. We're in trouble, and I need a better job immediately, but I'm not ready with a portfolio or any experience yet. So, long story even longer, I need to know: is it possible to find web dev jobs where I can come on as a trainee, earn maybe half of what a junior dev would earn (still more than what I earn now) and learn on site? Do shit work, make myself available, whatever? Because I need to make the change sooner than I expected, and I know I could do it with more time, but I don't have the time. What is the best way to start earning right now? Sorry if that sounds crass, I respect how much I don't know about this field and I know it's not just some joyride, but I need this to work. Any advice will do. Thank you in advance. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 28 Oct 2019 12:44 PM PDT I am new to Web Dev and just finished a part time course on HTML, CSS and JS. We didn't touch on libraries or frameworks. I signed up for Front End Masters to continue learning, however, I need to get more practice actually coding. I've seen a lot of suggestions like,
but i'm lost on how to get started. I want to make a portfolio site for myself (good first project), but should I start from 100%, blank page scratch. Should I find free templates on www.free-css.com or Theme Forest and use that as a base to customize? If a developer in a web agency was tasked to make a portfolio site for a new client, would I start from scratch or use a template? When should I start to look at frameworks/libraries for use in practicing? [link] [comments] | ||

| Non-English language text (fuzzy) searching Posted: 28 Oct 2019 04:24 AM PDT I've been looking for a good way to search for posts in a Non-English database, specifically Russian. My stack includes MySQL & Redis. Python too, if that's important. MySQL has very limited support when it comes to fulltext indexing in non-English. I couldn't get any good results. I know some popular searching software like Solr but they're quite advanced and not sure about non English searching. I'm rather looking for a simple solution. Any light will be greatly apreciated.

| Can I use work I did for my employer to showcase my own business? Posted: 28 Oct 2019 11:06 AM PDT I have been working for my employee for a while now and designed + build a lot of sites and software for them. Including some of the products the company uses to show off to new customers. Meanwhile I have my own small company to earn some extra cash in my spare time (also building websites and apps, but mostly clients that are to small for my employer to bother with). Do you guys think it is acceptable to use some of the designs and sites I'm proud of on my own company example work page? I am looking for honest opinions, ofcourse I will discus this with my employer first, but before I do this I wanna know what you guys think. [link] [comments] | ||

| Needed some help with a portfolio website I am working on. Any help appreciated. Thank You. Posted: 28 Oct 2019 10:52 AM PDT Here's the link: romitsp.github.io If you visit on mobile you will notice that the page loads up zoomed in and the page width does not fit the view-width of the device. Looks like some element is forcing the width to be more than the device width. I have tried making changes to viewport as shown: <meta name="viewport" content="width=100vw, initial-scale=1.0"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> [link] [comments] | ||
