| Any self-taught developers had a first job where they didn’t know how to do their job? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 01:02 AM PST I'm a self taught junior front end developer and I don't know how to do my job. I can learn anything given the time and am resourceful but I don't even know what to learn or where to start because the holes in my knowledge are everywhere and I need to know everything right now - which I know is impossible but to do the job I'm required to do requires much more knowledge than I have in several areas. I've tried breaking things down into much smaller tasks, I'm getting stuck on everything. I don't really know what to do about it, I'm very overwhelmed, I'm struggling to deliver what needs to be delivered and everything Im getting there and need a lot of tweaking-that's the feedback I'm getting. I'm really just winging it but not doing a good job of it because I'm so lost also have lost my confidence and certainty which I'm desperately trying to get back. Has anyone had a similar experience? Can anyone advise me on what to do? How to get through this? Also my employers employed me fully aware of my skills. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 03:35 PM PDT I am working as a programmer since 6 years. I've been doing desktop applications and a few websites with microsoft Asp.NET MVC 5 (html, css, jquery, js), webservices WCF, ASPX with no problem. Now I wanted to move and do some webapi, webservices with node and some modern website stack developement and I've found the horror. A STUPID amount of messy and hacky technologies bundled togheter with some duct tape and glue to work, ready to crash. Web is full of proofs: https://hashnode.com/post/is-modern-front-end-overcomplicated-cipwgcbot06g10w537pbuytw5 https://www.quora.com/Is-modern-front-end-overcomplicated and I could link 1000 others. I don't want to surrend. Where I can find a comprehensive guide that explains how all of this works togheter? Api, wehbooks, sockets, websockets, node, npm, gulp, babel, webpack x,y,z,dwijdiqwejdioweqjdoiwej and all of this s**t these "modern" guys are doing, I want to understand [link] [comments]  | ||
| What do you wear to job interviews? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 10:15 AM PDT I've always worn suits to job interviews, in and out of the webdev world. But now I've switched to being a remote webdev, and I'm traveling for an interview. It's a company in a warm weather climate and traveling with a suit seems like such a pain. I'm thinking about just going business casual with a pair of dress pants and a nice dress polo. I think it's a nice look, but I'm having a hard time getting past the feeling that I should wear a suit to an interview. So, what do you guys typically wear to interviews? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Should my images be double resolution? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 12:24 PM PDT I've looked around online for pages about this and have found guides on dealing with high-PPI displays but would like some up-to-date opinions on the matter. For a brief bit of background, I'm developing a website completely from scratch (it'll use jQuery but that's about it) and naturally this has made me very conscious of file sizes and HTTP requests. The main issue is the size of images since, while they certainly look pretty, they use a lot of bandwidth, which is no good when wanting a snappy website. You can argue about compression 'til the cows come home but there's no way around the fact that an image-rich website will use significantly more bandwidth than an image-light/free one. There's also the issue of high-PPI displays and keeping my content looking crisp on them without slowing everything down. My own screen I have set up at 128ppi - mostly websites don't compensate for this so images can be a little soft, but generally they look fine. I'm going to run through the three possibilities I'm considering. This completely ignores the fact that the size images will be displayed at is a bit of a mystery when it comes to responsive websites, but some content such as profile pictures will have a maximum size so that aspect should only really be an issue when it comes to 100%-width banner images and the likes, which I have no plans on using. Even then, some JavaScript solution could probably be used. Option #1: Send everyone 1× images Option #2: Send everyone 2× images Option #3: Use srcset, @media queries or some other method to send users the appropriate resolution for their display And after all of this you could claim that 1× and 2× images aren't enough and that we should throw in 1.5×, 3× and so on. Not sure what's best there. If I did go for having both 1× and 2× images, I'd probably add a manual override setting for signed-in users, although I doubt many would use the option. Maybe I'm looking too deep into this but I'd like to hear how you've dealt with this on your own websites. Sorry if it rambled on a little but the title pretty much sums up the entire post.

| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 02:27 PM PDT I think I've settled on using digital ocean to deploy a flask website, and am now researching the details on how to do it. My only other experience with hosing was deploying one other website on heroku, which seems a bit easier to do. What is the best way to deploy a flask app on digital ocean? When I googled the topic, multiple articles on digital oceans website came up for different ways to do it. Two recent approaches involve using uwsgi and gunicorn: Which method is best? I plan on possibly adding multiple websites to one droplet in the future, in case that matters at all. Also, bonus points would be pointing me to a good youtube tutorial. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Lazy loading / defering javascript. Posted: 11 Mar 2018 03:13 PM PDT Guys hi, I wonder what is the right technique to lazy load / defer javascript. Let say we have the page where at the bottom there is google maps block (example). Only 25% of visitors are reaching this block. What's the right way to lazy load blocks in such a situation? Currently we are using lazysizes extension for javascript and lazyloading script that calls google maps api and passes geo details. It works good, and we speed this page by doing that. I wonder if that's a right way to do this. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 04:06 PM PDT When I start new projects, I almost always use the same Webpack config for React & Sass. Every now and then I want to try a different tool and tweak my configuration. So I decided to write a shell script that sets up a directory structure with a base Webpack config, runs yarn init, and installs all dependencies. I'm currently improving my script to handle my different project needs. How do you guys start new projects? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Just signed a multiyear multi-million dollar contract and need serious help Posted: 10 Mar 2018 07:26 PM PST Just signed a multiyear multi-million dollar contract and need serious help This is a throwaway for obvious reasons. I just signed a multiyear, multi-million dollar contract with a Fortune 100 company to produce several sites and maintain them over the course of several years. I can't disclose the company publicly (according to the contract). I have not been able to sleep for the past two days since we've signed because I did not think we would have won the bid for the RFP. This is really happening! I'm still in shock. The problem is that in my excitement and my disbelief that I would actually win the contract we signed it anyway just because this is a life changing amount of work and money. I do not have anywhere near the amount of resources I need to complete this project and need help and lots of it. I need to assembled a formal DevOps team, I need .NET, PHP, SQL developers and I need engineers to help scale out our AWS. I'm so sorry for the scatter brained post, but I am still in awe and need some help. A project manager is definitely needed as well. We are a well funded company from our existing client base, but I've never had a client at this level before and need to acquire resources like yesterday! I can only pay as 1099 contractors corp to corp (no individuals). What's the best way to go about finding these resources? I am totally excited, but was completely unprepared for the number of resources I need. EDIT: Due to my excitement of winning this bid, I left out a few key details of the original post. Our company has been in business and doing this since 1995. This by far not the first RFP we've won, but it is the largest. I won the contract due to the work I've done with the CIO in the past many years ago along with me offering them a dedicated group of resources rather than the shared resources of our current clients. EDIT: TL;DR: We've been running a relatively large web dev shop for several years and have some big name clients under our belt as clients. We recently won an RFP (our largest to date) that I wasn't expecting with the contingency the client would get their own dedicated resources. Redditors of the world somehow translated this into a one man show making websites in his mom's basement underbid the project that he isn't qualified for, is in over their head, and has no idea what they're doing. I used to love Reddit, but the trolls are starting to put me off a bit. Everyone needs to relax really. I'm just sharing some exciting news and at the same time looking for talent and advice.

| Trying to use LoryJS but can't figure out how to use it Posted: 11 Mar 2018 09:07 AM PDT Sup everyone, was developing something for a challenge and it said we should use LoryJS (http://meandmax.github.io/lory/). I couldn't make it work, but I finally found a codepen that I wanted to learn from https://codepen.io/anon/pen/PRqWOX. Thing is, when I substitute the css, js and html files with the code from there (in html case I add it to the usual html template) and it still doesn't work as it should, the "<>" appear in the top left corner and nothing else. How can I get started with something like this? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Is it possible to dynamically change RGB values? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 12:36 PM PDT I am stumped, I'm new to Vue, and had this idea to use sliders to dynamically change RGB values. One slider for each of the three values. Is this even possible? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Text editors with native run functionality? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 11:52 AM PDT I'm currently using Coderunner 2 as my text editor, as it's lightweight and (most importantly) has the ability to run e.g. JavaScript and Python code directly in the editor – without needing to download an extension or plug-in. However, it is perhaps a little too lightweight for my taste, and I would like to explore other editors with more customization possibilities. So my question is: can anyone recommend a code editor with native run functionality? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Any platform for a "rate my snippet"-like site? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 11:49 AM PDT I got an idea for some websites, and I wonder if either I can use any existing platform, or the only option is to build them from scratch. Say you want to publish a web site where people can share Bash tricks, or one-liners, or coding tricks: a site where each published issue can be up- or down-voted, and searched or discussed with comments. Does any platform exist for such a site? The closest I found are Stack Overflow clones, such as AskBot or Scoold: with some modifications, the mechanism they support is not so different. Although they are more focused on questions and answers, I could fork and modify one of them, and remove some of their features (for example: in case of code snippets, the concept of "question without answers" really has no meaning). Or I may build one from scratch, but it sounds to me like not a so trivial endeavor. Do you have any suggestion? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 10:32 AM PDT Hey everyone, I'm working on a simple API which checks whether a given data input is "valid" or "invalid". Is it appropriate to use response codes to indicate validity or invalidity? 200 for OK, some 4xx code for "confirmed negative"? Or should all processed requests return 200 OK as HTTP, and indicate the result in the response body? Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Meta for making websites responsive in 2018? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 09:30 AM PDT Newcomer coder, learned HTML and CSS so far and I was wondering, which methods are the most viable, flexible and useful in making websites responsive in 2018? is it Flexbox? Bootstrap etc? also, where can I learn about these methods? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 09:17 AM PDT Cookies have been around since the dawn of time and possibly even before the Big Bang, according to Stephen Hawking (jk). So what's the deal with the latest trend to irritate the F out of me by notifying me about their use and acceptance? What's next, a notification that a web page uses clent-side Javascript?

| How to build a radio station, as a backend service? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 08:53 AM PDT Let's say my state lives on backend. Let's say I know duration of my track. When song starts, how do I keep its progress in state or database? I'll use websockets to send clients messages such as play_track, and have player that listents to that. Any thoughts how to solve this? [link] [comments]  | ||
