    Just worked my second day ever as a Jr. Dev and wow...

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 07:02 PM PST

    I feel so dumb. I thought I knew how to do this but it seems like I know nothing. I was asked to do some pretty simple tasks but was not able to finish in time. Luckily my team is very understanding of my lack of experience but damn, I feel in over my head and feel like I've learned nothing about code up to this point. Does this feeling go away? I'm super nervous about how this is gonna go from here on. Please tell me I'm not alone in feeling dumb at this point.

    Edit: damn I love you guys, thank you so much. This has been a very warm welcome to the community and I feel a ton better after chatting with you guys. Thank you * 100000! Day 3 is going fantastic and I'm actually starting to feel a little bit more confident 🤙

    I feel like I'm ready for my first job but have no idea how to market myself as a backend developer

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 01:16 PM PST

    I've already built 3 medium sized apps that do several things but it's all backend, aside from well documented postman collections, I have no idea how to show my work off. For example, front end devs can whip out a website or just drop links that will instantly allow people to see their skills, what can I do?!

    HTML vs Body: How to Set Width and Height for Full Page Size

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 02:09 PM PST

    px or rem for sizing? Is there a general consensus?

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 02:09 PM PST

    I've always used px but started to use rem thinking setting the base font size would help limit the number of font-size declarations with media queries. But it never works out that way - the design requirements for font-size always vary so much that simply changing the base font size does not help at all. I still have to declare numerous sizes for various breakpoints. I don't know what rem helps with - since I still need numerous declarations for sizes, I might as well use px which is more comfortable to me.

    Is rem the unit of the gods?

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 11:54 AM PST

    Been using rem's as my main unit more lately. Basically, I use a formula that uses vw to linearly increase the font size at desired widths (i.e 10px at 1024px wide, to 12px at 1920). Everything just scales perfectly. I can put in padding numbers straight from the XD file and they scale perfectly. Then I just cap the font size to a fixed value so it stops scaling for widescreen. I feel like everything can be accomplished with a mix of % and rem. Anyone else feel the same way?

    There is a browser that can replace Safari for fixing bugs!

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 11:44 AM PST

    I'm writing this because today my life is changed, and what if this will change your life too?
    Before I lived in false assumption that safari is a reason why frontend developer has to work on macbook. I worked on macbook a year, but linux with KDE suites me much better, and a notebook with handy keyboard, so in general work is going well, but to fix bugs in safari I struggled with mac os in QEMU emulator.

    And only now I amazed by this discovery, how stupid I was that didn't get this earlier, safari is powered by the same webkit which is used in few other browsers, such as Epiphany!

    I'd be glad if this will help someone, how I wish to see a similar post years ago...

    Best Node.js framework for heavy real-time (websockets)?

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 02:24 PM PST

    Been a while since I've used Node. I switched to FastAPI (Python) due to language/library share with my machine learning work. But more and more it's been an uphill battle, and I realize I've trying too hard to square-peg a round hole.

    Back when I did Node (2016), it was Express or bust. Sure there was Hapi and Koa, but good luck. Now I'm poking around, I see Koa, Hapi, Fastify, Nest, Meteor, Sails, Feather, Loopback, Adonis, and (wait.. is socket.io its own framework?) - oh my! To narrow, I do want: (1) batteries included; (2) real-time. That sounds like Meteor, but I'm worried about scalability (can you just throw this on Lambda / Fargate without concern?) and flexibility (what if I need an unusual package, which has only been vetted on Express?). I see Nest "wraps" both Express & Fastify; that's attractive, as it could mitigate my "flexibility" concern (or is it not that simple?). Maybe I'm thinking too hard and should just go Express - due to popularity - and eat the boilerplate cost?

    Any suggestions for those two points: batteries-included (yet flexible), and easy for real-time (websockets)?

    Will having a contract job on my resume make it easier to get a jr dev role?

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 10:38 AM PST

    So I just accepted an offer for a contract position paying $25 an hour, and even though the pay isn't great I took it because I thought it would make getting the next job easier, especially since I'm a bootcamp grad. They're building a cryptocurrency wallet with electron so it's not really web development, but they use Vue which I'll have to learn. Is this a productive use of my time?

    Is there a web builder of web builders?

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 01:36 PM PST

    I am (thinking of) creating a site that will enable users to make a basic one-pager with just some basic CSS, writing text and uploading few images. They'll then get the code and/or files.

    Basically, I am asking -- is there an open-source completed "web builder" solution for this? Haven't been able to find via Google.

    Gatsby blog question on deployment/building

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 10:47 AM PST

    I'm still relatively new to web development so I'd appreciate any insight!

    ​

    I have a blog made with React which grabs blog post content from Sanity (a headless CMS).

    I'm thinking of re-making the blog using Gatsby - which apparently is nicer to search engines.

    I understand that Gatsby generates all the pages during it's build time, as opposed to React configuring the page for the user 'real-time'.

    My question is: Will I have to 're-build' a Gatsby blog every time a new blog post is created? That seems really inconvenient, if so. There are probably 1-3 blog posts created per week, if that matters.

    ​

    Thanks!

    $10 in $BTC to whoever can help me solve these three simple problems

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 04:15 PM PST

    hey guy, im seriously about to lose my shit over here.

    for three days ive been trying to change two button colors on one page of my site. after three months of building this site with absolutely no experience the biggest problem has been these fucking buttons.

    I keep having issues with the color on my sidebar and vendor dashboard page on my multivendor wordpress site.. the text turns black when hovered over while the background of the button stays black. no matter how many times i edit it it reverts back to black. Im also having vendor dashboard buttons overlap on mobile and theres a mystery search bar that comes and goes above the logo in the upper left hand corner.

    im so close to finishing the site, after three months its just these three things left. If you think you can help feel free to PM me and i can give you the link to check out.

    Want to learn coding, the whole 9 yards preferably

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 04:06 PM PST

    So I'm trying to self learn web dev because there are no colleges near me that offer classes pertaining to coding at all. I know there is the option of online courses; however, the VA will be paying for my college since I was in the Navy prior and if I take at least one in person class I get my full housing allowance for my area over just like $700 for taking all online classes.

    Anyways, I've got a few courses on udemy for web dev and am wondering how good they are if I weren't to ever get a degree and if I catch on well enough? Like just by completing some of the courses and the knowledge I gain, could I possibly get a decent jr. web dev job or should I actually go for a degree?

    Do clients need to pay their web-developer extra to deploy website on server?

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 04:01 PM PST

    I am having a web developer build a site with react and stuff, and he's almost done, but now he's saying deploying it to my server is not his job nor his field, which is "DevOps" apparently.

    Is there any truth to this or is he pulling my leg?

    Websites Poached and Moved New Hosting

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 09:47 AM PST

    Hi, at my agency we have recently lost 2 of our sales reps after they abruptly quit at the end of the year. Since leaving they have started their own competing agency and with that, they have poached over 20 of our website clients. In addition to taking our clients, they seemed to have copied the sites from our hosting and moved them to a new host. Right now we are trying to come up with a timeline of events. I know of a 15-20 day window of when the moves happened. But we are trying to get more specific.

    My question is, is it possible to find out when a website was moved to a new host?

    Please let me know if this isn't the right place to post this. Thanks

    Simple gallery with commenting and voting

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 03:38 PM PST

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here it goes:

    So my brother has this football fan club and they want some simple web platform where they can upload pictures and add comments/vote them. They currently host some ancient PHP image gallery, which has some flash elements and therefore stopped working recently. He asked me to fix it, but I think it might be better to install something completely different. So my question: does anybody know an easy to setup, open-source platform to do this? Can be any framework/technology. Features required - User System (access rights, secure login) - Albums - Comments - optional: Like/Dislike images
