| Posted: 01 Nov 2020 08:35 PM PST I know and I've worked for some entrepreneurs, some of them are amazing people who I still draw inspiration from. I can say this. It's not for everyone. It takes a special combination of personality traits to be able to do that kinda work. Also, even if you have these traits in spades, it also takes some luck and a combination of other factors for it to really take off. I feel particularly Western media glorifies entrepreneurs to the point that if you're just a regular hardworking professional, it's not good enough anymore. It's only worth it to put in hard work if you're aiming for the stars. The thing is, if we all became entrepreneurs, then who is left to actually execute the vision? I know some people who are doing coding bootcamps and seeking to change their careers. They're doing it because software jobs pay better and are more in demand. So what? Nothing wrong with that. There's no shame in wanting to improve your financial situation and quality of life even if coding isn't exactly your passion. Lots of immigrants weren't tech people to begin with but learnt it because it was their best ticket in landing a well paying job in a country where they didn't know anyone and didn't speak the language that well. Shaming them for being in a field that they are not "passionate" about is like shaming a 18th century European farmer who came to the new world because there was a better chance he could have a big piece of land. Most of software engineering jobs aren't extremely difficult as there's a wide variety of roles. If you're an ordinary, hardworking person willing to put in the effort to become good at something even if its not your burning passion and you show that you do the job competently, then you deserve to be in this field and should not be branded "a loser." As for me for example, I was a very average student in HS. One of those kids who scored the same range of marks on ALL subjects whether it was math or history. Just a guy with average intelligence. When it took time to apply to College, I had no idea what the hell I was gonna do. I didn't seem good at anything. I only chose CS because there was a programming class in my high school where I actually looked forward to going to class and I'd spend a few hours after school trying to make a program work. All my other courses I dreaded and I put in only the amount of work to get my B. I also was clueless about how lucrative software industry would become. I mean, I heard ppl make good money but when you're 17 and your hobby is listening to music and smoking weed, I didn't really think about it. As luck would have it, it did end up being lucrative and high in demand too. It's a profession where due to its high in demand, you don't need to be a super genius at it in order to be successful. Unlike a lot of professions in the arts where only the top 10% actually can make a living off of it. Judging by the standards of western society, my background would not be "legitimate." I should have been a coding rebel in my teenage years and already building apps and selling them. I should have quit stupid college and hitchhiked my way to silicon valley and coded with a bunch of dudes all day in a startup. Or something of that nature. Instead, all I did was get my CS degree and go onto be successful and promoted numerous times at professional jobs. I worked hard but it wasn't all just work. In my OT, I made sure I pursued my musical hobbies, ensured I travelled, read tons of books (not about CS), enjoyed relationships, had friends, and maintained my physical health. I'm a lot older now and my life is tamer. Especially due to Covid. But I'm still proud of my career. To the point that I learn and code new technologies even though I don't have to in order to keep my job. But I do it to stay current and to be better at my work. [link] [comments] | ||
| Coworker making me feel not as good Posted: 02 Nov 2020 10:12 AM PST Hi there, so first things first my coworker is awesome and a friendly guy, he works super hard. One thing I noticed, and I've seen this in other areas of development, there are always those guys that just live and breathe code. I also love code, but I need a freaking break when I can get it, I mean I'm at work 8 hours a day, I already get tired around 4-5 hours. I have other hobbies like gaming, training my dog, watching TV and anime with my wife. I need time for all of these things to feel content and rested, plus just to have some genuine fun. Every Monday we do a team call and we're asked about what we did on the weekend, I always say, I played some new VR games, went on a walk, etc etc. Then my coworker almost ALWAYS acts like his entire weekend was work, learning something new, saying it was super productive, etc, etc. This is, of course, awesome for our boss to hear, but also makes me feel like I'm a useless dev that's getting left behind since I only learn and code at work generally, some days I'll try some new stuff but I really just need time off when I'm off. He's not getting paid for this work when I ask him if he tried any video games he says "no time". I'm not saying this is bad, but jeez what other career are we in where somebodies a plumber and says I'll do plumbing after hours and on the weekend, hell no that guys gonna cut out time for something else. I just guess I feel like this creates an expectation from other developers or can make us feel bad when we didn't code all weekend long, learn the next trick, etc. I love my job and code, but I don't think I'd be happy coding all hours of the day, and kind of wish people didn't create this expectation. Maybe I'm jealous that I don't have the energy to code all hours of the day, I don't know, anybody else feel this way? Sorry for a long rant lol, just feel like kinda useless when this happens. Edit: I still get tons of work done, and do my job by the way, no limitations in my abilities when I need to learn, and learn at work when I need to. But feel like I'm not good enough if not coding all the time. [link] [comments] | ||
| N00b question - How was this animation created? Posted: 02 Nov 2020 01:45 PM PST Hi guys, question here. Does anybody know how this scrolling animation was implemented? Here is the site: https://www.marqeta.com/ I'm talking about the purple card to the right, which transforms to 3D angles before covering a whole section. I think they are using some canvas, but how to do those scroll animations (which I suspect they are using GSAP) along with a canvas? [link] [comments] | ||
| Need help understanding how to move my website from "local" to "live" Posted: 02 Nov 2020 11:57 AM PST Hi, So I've been working on this website, and I have a pretty good understanding (conceptually) of how I want it to work "in the real world", but I don't really know how to actually go about getting it done. Specifically, this is what I have right now:
But I really don't know how to actually publish any of this stuff:
I also really don't know anything about what, if anything, this kind of stuff costs. Does AWS provide all of this functionality out of the box for a reasonable price? They have a lot of different options on their website and I'm not sure which is the right one. Or are there a variety of different platforms and technologies that I should be using in conjunction for all of this? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 02 Nov 2020 08:14 AM PST Hi so I've been applying to jobs, pretty much anything with the word "developer" in it. I've been asked to complete an online interview where I'll need to convert psd to html/css. I pretty much exclusively work on backend and my only front end experience is with react/view using pure css/sass. I'm trying to prep for the interview by doing this myself but I can't find any resources for this online. I found a ton of articles and threads about how this method is "dead" but no step by step guides on how to do this. Could anyone explain how to achieve this or point me in the direction of an online resource for this? Edit: Thanks for all of the quick responses! It seems they just want me to essentially bring a photoshop drawing to live via coding it. I'm honestly a bit anxious but hoping I can pull it off. If anyone has any tips/tricks/best practices to recommend I would deeply appreciate it! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Nov 2020 09:56 AM PST I need a cheap reliable mail service that my web site can send from and that maybe has a fee mailboxes for receiving mail as well. I doubt I'd hit 1000 emails a month. Any suggestions? [link] [comments] | ||

| I am confused by open source/where I should be looking Posted: 02 Nov 2020 12:15 PM PST I am a teacher in the U.S. with aspirations of being a software developer. Right now it seems nearly impossible to get a job as a self-taught with an unrelated degree so I thought it might be a good time to try and get some open-source experience since I keep seeing that get recommended. I have experience developing in the MERN stack and can build basic apps fairly quickly. What I am confused by is: 1) How do I find a project? 2) How do I apply? 3) Should I expect to get into a coding role? 4) If I can't get into a coding role what other tasks would look good on a resume? Now I have googled my question but there are a few resources that come up. What would you guys recommend? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Nov 2020 07:33 AM PST Ok I know this is not strictly dev but not sure where to post it. I have a laravel app that logs all 404 errors. Originally for my own interest so I could spot missing pages or files etc. But daily I can see people attempting to access pages like .env, wp-admin, /Bitcoin/wallet.dat etc. Obviously not an issue in itself. But you know, fuck these script kids, if they try enough stuff maybe they do find a vulnerability. How would I go about automatically blocking their IP after their first attempt at an obviously fishy file. Like I could create the list but how to implement running Apache on cPanel. Any ideas?

| Gesture detection from touch events Posted: 02 Nov 2020 04:01 PM PST Does anyone know a good js library to detect two-finger gestures? I'm making a little react project with a canvas map, and wanted to add zoom and two-finger pan gestures to it, but looks like I need to write my own gesture detection logic based on touch event details. So I was hoping it was already done a million times, but couldn't easily find a good library for it. Any advice appreciated! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Nov 2020 03:44 PM PST I've seen memes and hear people saying all the time, "Can this be automated?".. in Developer terms what does this mean? Is it having a program write the code for you? Is it writing a function that makes code DRY? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Nov 2020 11:55 AM PST People here have called this font bad, ugly and overpriced However, testing probably 20+ different fonts, some of them for multiple months on end, Operator Mono is the one that's the most legible to me It's not super pretty and I don't like the stereotype of the "coder who spends more time on perfecting their editor instead of coding". It's also too expensive for individuals. However out of all the fonts I've tried, it's significantly easier for me to read and I get less eyestrain (this could be placebo/biased, it just feels like it). I can't be the only one who feels like this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Nov 2020 03:30 PM PST Why do we have a `popstate` event and not a `pushstate` event? It feels like the History API is incomplete because of this omission. [link] [comments] | ||
| Added a CSS Script using JavaScript, but now Header isn't fixed? Posted: 02 Nov 2020 03:19 PM PST I'm a bit new to web development and I wanted to make a Night Mode toggle using JavaScript. The problem is that when the script is "toggled" on, the header is no longer fixed. Turning the "toggle" off fixes this, but means that my fixed header won't work in "Night Mode". Here is a CodePen of my problem: https://codepen.io/beardiest/pen/WNxyNNy Click "Night Mode" to call the script. Click it once to toggle on, another to toggle off. (Admittedly, the way I implemented this toggle is probably the wrong way to go about it) [link] [comments] | ||
| What's the best approach to make a multilingual landing page? Posted: 02 Nov 2020 07:07 AM PST I am trying to make a multilingual landing page but I am confused which approach would be best? Should I use API to fetch text and updated the site or something else would be appropriate. Site is in PHP so what would be best? [link] [comments] | ||
| Struggling on current initiative and just haven't been productive lately Posted: 02 Nov 2020 02:20 PM PST Should I be upfront about this and mention my struggles? When i feel well I am super productive but I have been struggling lately. [link] [comments] | ||
| Can someone help me get out of this holding pattern? Posted: 02 Nov 2020 10:27 AM PST Hi, I've just completed some super basic full stack courses on UDemy and I'm working my way through a somewhat ambitious first full stack project web app. I'm really excited about it and I've done a lot of work on general functionality design and planning. I know pretty much all I would need to know to build the front and backend on a PERN or MERN stack locally. But now that I've completed the frontend, it's time to layer on the backend functionality. And I hit a brick wall. Ultimately, I want to launch this app, and I want it to have startup potential to scale (crazy for a first app, I know, but bear with me). And I recently realized that I will actually have to make my backend design dependent upon the deployment system that I go with. There seems to be a million options, and I keep doing more and more research on the best system design and I feel like I'm getting nowhere. In particular, I feel like I can't decide whether or not to go serverless, and that will change how conpelx my DB/cache CRUD will be, plus I have genuinely no clue how load balancers and all that jazz work. Can anyone give me a straight shot of services that would deploy a PERN app in the most straightforward way possible? I think having a basic blueprint architecture to go off of would be a huge help for me. Let's pretend it's a social media app with transactions, for required functionality. And would this deployment require me to supervise caching? If so, would Redis be best on my local build? Also, if this doesn't make sense because I am missing something, please let me know. Thanks a million!!! Edit: The DBMS, if relational for sure needs to be able to nest json inside tables [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 02 Nov 2020 09:45 AM PST We worked with a client for what was supposed to be a 2 month project. It turned into a 6 month project because she kept adding and adding and adding to the project, none of which was in the original scope. She suddenly, after agreeing to our proposal, had a custom sitemap, all new custom content that we had to import, new landing pages with custom form code. It became this long ridiculous nightmare of a project, which I had to halt, because her expectations were so far from reality. So now she has filed a chargeback to recover a fair amount of $$, I'm about to be dinged for a lot of money i dont have, even after I submitted all of the evidence. This is complete BS. How can I avoid this from happening, the funds are set to be withdrawn from my account tonight and there is no way shape or form this woman is entitled to a refund. We developed 30+ custom pages for her when it was supposed to be a simple wordpress facelift. Help? [link] [comments] | ||
| Book recommendations for when burned out. Posted: 02 Nov 2020 12:54 PM PST Hey guys and girls! I'm currently going through a burnout, happened from a private situation. It feels for a while I won't be fully able to do fun projects next to work. I want to invest some time in reading. Do you devs have recommendations for books. I'm especially searching books about people behind it companies or about the companies. Not so much interest in reading a book that teaches me a language. I've read iWoz a few years ago and it was amazing. Same goes for the phoenix project and the unicorn project. Thanks in advance ! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Nov 2020 12:04 PM PST Hello..I've created a spa in VueJS and backend using Python Flask. I'm wanting to know whether I need to package nginx or apache2 with the VueJS docker container. I'm planning to use AWS Fargate for deployment of the docker image, so is it typical that I need a web server to accompany VueJS? Similarly for flask I will need an application server (like Gunicorn) so I should package those requirements together with the docker image for Flask? Does that sound correct? [link] [comments] |
