    I made my first website!! It ain't much, but I'm proud of myself

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 03:12 PM PDT

    it's been a few months since I decided to dive deeper into the world of webdev. after studying some javascript, some frameworks and a little about APIs, I thought making something simple and having it up online so other's could see would be some good practice and a nice way for me to not feel as much of an imposter. It's really nothing special, it's a website with an image of a cat, with a button to fetch and load a new random image. I know there are many websites like this already, but this one is mine. I don't know anything about deployment yet, so I have it up on github pages.

    if anyone wants to check it out (and please do): https://sirkastic.github.io/cat-app

    and the repo is: https://github.com/SirKastic/cat-app

    (I'm not even sure if this sub is for this type of content, I'm just really happy with myself and wanted to share it somewhere)

    How do you learn new tech while balancing full-time job and personal obligations?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 10:55 AM PDT

    In my day job as a a dev manager, my numerous responsibilities don't allow me to get hands-on with the tech. I'm more responsible for project planning, coordination, attending meetings, and people management. I still do some code reviews but that's the limit of how "hands-on" I can get. It's a full 8 hour day and sometimes even more.

    Outside of work, I've got some personal obligations too as we all do. I don't have kids though so I probably have a little bit more time than people who do.

    I want to learn new tech and get hands-on not only to be better at my job (I believe dev managers become better at their jobs if they can actually back up what they say with something concrete) but also to make a possible career transition in the future in order to become an individual contributor again. I feel the management route although it's working for me now, just isn't suitable for the long-term.

    However, I can't quit my job and spend a few months learning new tech to make this transition. I'm not in a financial position to do something like that. Plus with the pandemic and economic stability, although there are lots of jobs out there, actually landing one is more difficult generally speaking.

    Here are the steps I'm taking to learning new tech:

    • On crazy busy days where I'm tired, just do a little bit like 15-20 minutes.
    • While going on walks, put the course content and just listen.
    • Give up alcohol. It drains my energy.
    • Build an actual application and learn the things I don't know how to do and apply it right away.

    I think the last point there is the key. Endlessly watching online course content doesn't work. I need to apply it by getting hands dirty and actually working with the code, making mistakes, then googling why it doesn't work, and then rewatching the course content for things I missed.

    It's hard though when you've had a stressful day at work and feel tired, your partner is in a bad mood, and the cat is acting crazy. Yeah I have a comfortable life, not complaining.

    But I think in this world we're living in and especially those of us who are approaching our 40's, its important to stay relevant. I've seen way too many managers as they get into older age where they are over-reliant on their soft skills to the point that if they lost their job, it'd be damn hard to find another one and not only that but they gradually become less effective as newer projects are using newer tech which they do not know how to speak intelligently about.

    Are these books still relevant? I heard the html and css were outdated, what resources/books would you suggest?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 11:04 AM PDT

    I realized that I don't remember how to use pure HTML, CSS an JavaScript.

    After using bootstrap and jquery for so long, i actually don't know how to use the basics anymore. I was trying to create a website for the heck of it and when i noticed I was getting bootstrap ready to be used i thought "why? this is a small website, surely I can use just the regular stuff" and then I tried. I couldn't even create the layout of the website.

    Is there some guide or tutorial to watch for when you fall too deep into the "ready-to-use" stuff?

    Devs, what is your future career plan? More in the description.

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 02:16 PM PDT

    Hello, devs,

    I have been coding around dev for around 5-6 years now, primarily on the front end side. I am curious what are your long term plans, career goals? I believe more frameworks, updates will keep on coming, but in long term, where do you see yourself? Asking because this thought just came to my mind, and I am confused because I never thought about this.

    Edit 1: I mean in a few years, do you anticipate moving to a different technology? If yes, what are you learning?

    Backend: expressjs or django (or something else?)

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 12:41 PM PDT

    Need to decided which backend framework/platform to work with. I mostly care about the job outlook for each. Any idea on which has the best job outlook? In an ideal world, I would learn both, but i don't have the time at the moment.

    A quick search on indeed:

    • expressjs: 110 jobs
    • django: 2100 jobs

    The numbers are pretty abysmal: seems like a hyper competitive field (similar to the film industry). Is this normal? Or, maybe both are bad?

    Hidden image doesn't show on the first load

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 10:57 AM PDT

    I have a canvas that calls sendData() on mouse up. When this function is called, #loadImage should show. However this doesn't happen on first load. This is a flask application, when I make any changes I restart the server. After restarting it #loadImage doesn't show on the first call, but after that it works fine.

    <div class="col">

    <canvas id="can" width="125" height="125" style=" border: 2px solid;" onmouseup="sendData()">

    </canvas>

    </div>

    <img id="canvasimg" style="position:absolute;top:10%;left:52%; display:none;">

    <div class="col resultButton">

    <div id="loadingImage" style=" display: none; position: relative; width:111px; height:14px;background: rgba( 255, 255, 255, .8 ) url('../static/loading.gif') 50% 50% no-repeat;"></div>

    <p id="result"></p>

    </div>

    function sendData() {

    $('#result').hide();

    $('#loadingImage').show()

    var scratchCanvas = document.getElementById('can');

    var context = scratchCanvas.getContext('2d');

    var dataURL = scratchCanvas.toDataURL("image/png");

    $.ajax({

    type: "POST",

    url: "/imgToText",

    data: {

    imageBase64: dataURL

    }

    }).done(function (data) {

    document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "This is letter: " + data

    $('#loadingImage').hide();

    $('#result').show();

    });

    }

    Clicking on my website's link on google leads to a (fake?) adidas website

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 06:46 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    I am an experienced programmer (for games) but my web dev skills are a bit limited so I turn to you!

    I have a website up and I noticed that when I search for it on Google and click the link, it just links to an adidas website (probably fake). If I navigate to my website's URL directly it works fine.

    My website is http://www.hellmadegames.com/

    Go on Google and search for Hellmade Games. Click on the result that links to my website.

    How can this happen? Any idea what is going on?

    Is a job in this field a fallacy without a degree in 2020/2021?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 04:23 PM PDT

    I keep seeing all these great posts on how so many individuals managed to break into this field without a college degree, but taking the time to look at the year that these posts were created, it doesn't instill great confidence in me when i see that these posts are mainly from 4 to 3 years ago.

    has there been a shift in the job market? as far as i know the OVERALL need for developers is increasing, but the pandemic has created alot of self taught coders, and thus bloated the market to where even individuals that have a degree can't seem to find a job.

    it really demoralizing as i have been attempting to also break into this field myself.

    Displaying text over an image when using inline-block for alignment

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 04:12 PM PDT

    For anyone who is starting to code webpages and would like to do a simple project or people who didn't code for a long time and want to refresh their memories, I recommend this.

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 04:03 PM PDT

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaVNP3nIAv0&feature=youtu.be&t=1871

    This video of Tenzin is great. I didn't code a webpage for more than a year and this refreshed my memory, but I thought it would be great for people who are starting.

    I would say if you never coded a webpage you should start first on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and then do this. You don't need great knowledge to do it, but he doesn't explain exactly why he puts the classes or id's so maybe you are like "Wtf is this for".

    Still, an easy, fun, and nice project to begin with.

    [Advice] Large Corporation vs Small Company

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 06:43 AM PDT

    I'm currently finishing my 4 month Internship at a large corporation (1000+ employees). I worked mostly alone on my own App. Now I have the option to keep working until February, with a new contract, I would be porting old software to a new internal React/JS framework, which is really not what the corporation specializes in. Im not sure about best practices, said framework is not written in Typescript, but in plain JS, and has terrible UI/UX design.

    I also have the option to work for a small company (15 employees), in the core dev team, doing React/TS PWAs with Ionic, testing, and maybe some CI/DevOps.

    Both spots offer the same salary. The small company wants me to stay during university as well, with a flexible contract.

    Which one should I choose? What is your experience with small teams, and what advice would you give me?

    Thanks.

    Why is there [0] at the end of filter?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 01:33 PM PDT

    player = {

    ships: [

    {

    locations: [[0,0]]

    }

    ]

    };

    function checkForShip(player, coordinates) {

    let shipPresent, ship;

    for(let i = 0; i < player.ships.length; i++ ) {

    ship = player.ships[i];

    shipPresent = ship.locations.filter( acutalCoordinate => acutalCoordinate[0] === coordinates[0]

    && acutalCoordinate[1] === coordinates[1])[0];

    if(!shipPresent) {

    return false

    } else {

    return true

    }

    }

    };

    At the end of the filter function, after the last closing bracket, there is [0]... Why is that there and what is it doing?

    Sorry I don't know how to make this easier to read on reddit, I usually use SO.

    Thanks for any help

    Node.js web app frontend templates?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 01:31 PM PDT

    I went through several online courses using node.js, mongoDB, react for a couple months. So now I want to build my own project from the ground up instead of constantly following along other online references and code tutorials.

    I have a rough idea on what I want to build but where do I start? In my head I was like "Okay, first I need a template UI for the homepage and a log-in authentication." But I haven't used any template frontend stuff besides Bootstrap which I heard is now outdated.

    Any other good resources to recommend?

    I get pait 850$ a month as a full stack developer, is it okay ?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 01:26 PM PDT

    I work in a company, and all I think about is leaving, not because of the bad management, or the 'too much work' because I like to work anyways, but the salary, sometimes I feel like I won't achieve anything with this,..

    The problem is that 1000$ is the norm in my country for begginers, companies from France & UK & USA hires companies in my country to do the job for them, and we get those salaries,..

    I am a shopify developer, an excellent HTML/SASS/JS developer, a React/React Native dev, and also I work with PHP/Symfony,

    When an employee ask for a raise, he does not find a really better job, he just jumps from a 900$ job to a 1000$ job, I don't see that this is fair, I think that I have should started with 20k $ a year job at least but I know I won't get it.

    Any ideas On how to get a better remote job, I don't know if this is ranting or anything, I am just looking for better opportunities

    All portfolio projects hosted on Netlify?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 01:23 PM PDT

    I'm starting to create react projects for my portfolio, and want to know how other people organize and host their portfolio projects. On my eventual portfolio site, I'm hoping to have a section that contains a series of thumbnail links, where clicking on the thumbnail of the site will open up the site for display.

    Right now, I'm thinking the easiest way is to just deploy all of my projects to netlify, due to low cost and ease of deployment. I should note that at this time, I don't plan on using any custom domain names, but that may eventually change for my marquis/headline project. Do other people also do this or are there alternate ways of hosting my portfolio projects that is easier for what I'm eventually trying to do with my portfolio?

    Autofill forms for web development/debugging

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 09:26 AM PDT

    I'm wondering if there's a good extension or something that exists in devtools already for autofilling a large form during development. Specifically something customizable per field. My app's form is not address or credit card info, that's why I need it to be customizable.

    I'm growing tired of typing in 20+ fields of information every time I want to test a code change.

    [Question] select vs ul/li in React

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 09:10 AM PDT

    So i've been looking at some react component libraries reach-ui, material-ui, react-select and they seem to tend to use a div+ with ui/li elements instead of using the select + option tags.

    Is there a specific reason for that?
