| I'm the dude that posted about a web dev interview maybe a month or two ago. Posted: 24 Jul 2018 08:32 PM PDT So I never actually got around to personally messaging everyone that had kind words or was supportive in my initial post, because well, that post entirely blew up. It ended up being one of my most popular posts in my six years on reddit. Anyway, I wanted to just give a little update for anyone that cares. So after spending about 10 months in a Ruby on Rails bootcamp, I interviewed at a small start-up "internship" company. Essentially, they provide paid internships to people that are trying to gain the experience in whatever field (we currently have graphic design, marketing, photo/video production, and of course, web development). After showing my half-finished, slightly buggy, and somewhat bloated website project from my bootcamp, I was offered a spot with this company almost instantly. That, in itself was already a huge boost to my confidence. Now I've been here for roughly a month now, and I've already been thrown headfirst into the work. I was really nervous because every client we have uses Wordpress, and I have never worked in that environment. I quickly found that it's not too difficult to learn, and it actually makes the back-end work a lot easier. I already hate Wordpress more often than not, simply because it seems way more difficult than it should be to utilize a lot of the fullstack skills I became comfortable in from the bootcamp. But I really enjoy the work. Both of my bosses have already been impressed with the work I've done for the clients we have, and it continues to amaze me considering I still, half of the time, don't really have any idea what I'm doing, and I just fuck around until I get it right. But it's really enjoyable, and I hardly ever feel like I'm actually working. I am 28 with a degree in art and design, and I have been working since I was 15, all of those jobs being grocery stores, manual labor, or kitchen jobs. I still need to work a kitchen job at night to make ends meet, but it really seems like I'm on a path to go full time as a developer thanks to the experience and skills I'm gaining from this internship (again, paid. I still can't believe that). So basically, once again, thank you to everyone on here who was supportive and kind in the comments on my last post, and to everyone who I have silently taken advice and knowledge from while trolling through this subreddit. Cheers. [link] [comments]  | ||

| How has AWS affected your local development environment? Posted: 25 Jul 2018 11:33 AM PDT I recently signed on as a lead developer with a company that follows the agency model. We have roughly ten developers who are dispersed throughout the globe, and we're all focused on one major client at the moment. Our stack relies heavily on Node and Docker, and we deploy everything to AWS. Each member of our team has their own cloud-based development environment that they can destroy and re-create at any time. When a development server comes online, the various Docker services that comprise our stack are running and ready to go. These environments are fully self-contained - they reproduce the stack that we deploy to production. Developers can interact with the product and make changes, while knowing that nothing they do impacts anything outside of their own environment. A recent feature required that we have the ability to push real-time notifications to the users of our product. With previous teams, I've introduced a simple, Node-based solution to fill this need. Using this approach, the developer's environment can be updated to include their own locally-running instance of the PubSub server (keeping it self-contained). On this particular project, though, a developer chose to integrate Amazon's IoT service to implement PubSub functionality. It's not possible to run Amazon's IoT service locally, which now puts us in a bind - our development environment is no longer self-contained. When I raised this concern, the response was that we could simply namespace each developer's environment onto the production IoT service by placing each developer beneath their own channel (e.g. `/dev1/foo`, `/dev2/foo`). This seems like a terrible idea to me, but at the moment, it's what we're doing. Fast-forward a few days, and now we need to update the method by which people sign into our product. I'm now being told by one of my colleagues that we need to use Cognito, which would introduce yet another avenue by which the self-contained nature of our development environments would be broken. I could go on. My question is this: How are the rest of you handling this? What role does AWS play in your product, and how has it impacted your local development environment? [link] [comments]  | ||

| White boards..... make or break your chances of getting a job? Posted: 25 Jul 2018 08:19 AM PDT So I just had an interview for a developer position, and the thing I was nervous about, white board challenges, sure enough presented itself. I started out by writing some psuedo code. It's funny because I was on the right path and started second guessing myself. The interviewers gave me a slight nudge and I was able to complete it. The good news is they say a lot of people just give up. but I worked my way through the problem, which is a good thing. My question is, has anyone felt like they completely butchered the white board portion, and still received a job offer? The rest of the interview questions regarding personality, projects, learning etc seemed to go alright [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 25 Jul 2018 12:08 PM PDT Hey - as the title says, I'm looking for a solution to add integrations for numerous app connections into my app so that my users can select their platform that they use and then attach to share the data with my app. Can anyone point me in the right direction? It seems like most of Zapiers competitors are for end users just like them, and I haven't found anything on Github - I'm working with Python/Django if that helps. Thx! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Doing work outside of my job description, should I ask for more money? Posted: 25 Jul 2018 03:33 PM PDT I'm a FE Dev at a pretty large company's subsidiary. We however are a very small team. I particularly am part of a 3 person team (designer, me, and creative director/designer). The director is leaving. Instead of filling his position, the head of marketing wants to now delegate his tasks between me and the other designer. I will over take his PM/Managerial/Director role, she will take over the design direction and design collaboration with overseas teams. The managerial role is weird because we have led the adoption of a half-assed SCRUM to the marketing team, so we also manage their deliverables from Jira. On top of my director leaving, another member of the marketing team is going on leave and since html-emails are html, they want me to basically take over his work on Eloqua... Essentially my duties will go from maintaining the site and adding features, to that plus managing projects, managing Jira, and going to all the meetings w/ the rest of the parent company's team, as well as now being on the hook since i would be at a new level. Now to me, all of this additional responsibility, which is FAR past the scope of my contract, is worthy of a title change and a raise. Here is why I believe this: The team is highly dependent on me already for emails, landing pages, and other marketing crap. We are currently suffering with issues of employee retention We're hemorrhaging people Our general culture is so strange that anyone who they grab last minute will at least spend 2 months getting used to things before truly being able to contribute. There is now more money available (130k my manager was making). Although after speaking with a friend in Finance, he said this isn't how departments think so im not sure how much this point truly plays in. I would be taking responsibilities that are way beyond the scope of my contract, and could be a high-paying job in themselves. The team is highly dependent on me for updating the site, as the team that created it before (whom belong to our parent company) do not work well with the marketing team and often didn't deliver what was wanted/needed. On top of my Boss's duties, i would also take responsibilities from another employee. I'm currently making 85k, I was thinking about asking for a raise to 120k. What do you guys think?

| How should I develop an online magazine? Posted: 25 Jul 2018 03:25 PM PDT So I'm looking to create an online magazine for an organization, and I have extensive knowledge of HTML/CSS and creating static sites, but I don't have a ton of knowledge about how I should go about implementing dynamic part of the site. Should I use Django or Flask? (I sort of know how to code in Python) Another online publication that I'm involved in uses Grappelli (a Django interface). I'm not sure if Grappelli is dated at this point, and if so, are there any newer and friendlier (and free) alternatives to this? Would using Django be the simplest choice? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 25 Jul 2018 12:55 PM PDT Hey all -- my company has been using Cloudinary as its image CDN for as long as I've been there. But we're looking into alternatives. Are there any favorites of r/webdev when trying to make pages faster? Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| How do you sync your tooling between your work and home machine? First of all, do you? Posted: 25 Jul 2018 11:16 AM PDT I talk about your favorite editor settings & plugins, your bookmarks of tools, Chrome's extension, ... you get the point. I use a lot of tooling, nothing superfluous, but always changing for the better. And it's a real pain in the ass to get all of this in sync. I wish there is a way to do this easily with diff & cie. Got any tips guys? ps: sorry If typos, me french [link] [comments]  | ||
| CRUD application for warehouse employees Posted: 25 Jul 2018 12:21 PM PDT My employer asked me if I could write something that will be displayed in our warehouse for employees to see current projects and due dates. I told them I could do it in about a day or two. This sounds like I'd be creating a CRUD application to be displayed on a large screen. Here's how I plan to do it:
Is there a more efficient way I could do this? Thanks in advance! edit Getting some gruff comments on "a day or two." I've written something very similar to this already and have it in a Git repository. This is the only reason I suggested this option. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 25 Jul 2018 10:33 AM PDT What I am looking for is similar to facebook's messenger where as soon as the admin replies, it get shown on the user's screen as well. Sort of like live-chat. If you know anything similar to this, then please advise. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Hiring slowdown for bootcamp grads, why? Posted: 25 Jul 2018 01:37 PM PDT hey guys so I'm looking at this website https://cirr.org/data and its all about job placement stats for coding bootcamp grads and a lot are seeing a huge slowdown. Hack Reactor grads went from about an 89% placement rate in 2016 to 57% placement rate in 2017. Anyone have an insight as to this hiring squeeze? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 25 Jul 2018 11:15 AM PDT Normally I'm doing django back-end and I prefer this kind of programming overall, mostly because I make one of the ugliest front-ends out there. I created this UI for my web app but frankly it's as ugly as anything I do. What can I do to improve it? I know basic HTML, basic CSS and vanilla JS with some jQuery methods to help myself, so I'm pretty limited on what I can do. I have never learned in-depth front-end and I can't really make aesthetic things. What are the things that I should consider to improve it? Please no hate. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Would a CNC job help me get experience to be able to get a better full developer job? Posted: 25 Jul 2018 04:18 PM PDT I recently got a possible offer to work for a big company(Biomet) as a CNC programmer. I know that it is machine engineering related and the pay is good but my question is would the experience even help me get an actual developer job? They use a language only used for CNC so I'm not sure if future employers would care. I want to be a front end developer or app developer or even full stack so this wouldn't be a job I would want forever I just want to know if the experience would help me get something like that?

| [DESIGN CHOICE HELP] Login screen Posted: 25 Jul 2018 03:30 PM PDT So, I have been working on this website for a while, and now it's time to make a login screen. I don't know how to design it though. I don't think I should have the header, sidebar or the bottom part on the login screen, but it feels so empty without it. Any suggestions of how I should make it feel less empty? [link] [comments]  | ||
| [noob question] What are the pros and cons of being explicit with selectors? Posted: 25 Jul 2018 02:43 PM PDT Example of what I mean by being explicit: <node>.<class> instead of just .<class>? Also, does this work with id attributes <node>#<id>? I can't tell if it works or if it's just being ignored by CSS like how most CSS errors are. Personally, I find <node>.<class> quicker to interpret, not that .<class> is difficult to comprehend. [link] [comments]  | ||
| How to handle someone stealing my site content with embed? Posted: 25 Jul 2018 02:23 PM PDT Hi everyone. I'm not sure what kind of topic this falls under, but I recently found a website that was embedding my site within one of their pages - without giving any credit or source. They basically have a tab where the entire page is just a frame of my site. I'm not worried about them using the content (I put it online to be public after all!) but would prefer if they either give credit to my site or use an api to load the data instead of embedding (so at least then I can limit the usage). Is this a typical thing? I'm just kinda looking for general advice. Has this happened to anyone else before and do I even need to worry about it? EDIT: are there any dangers to just doing nothing?

| favicon issue in chrome and edge Posted: 25 Jul 2018 02:03 PM PDT
Tested with these 2 codes, chrome and edge are not displaying my favicon. Opera and firefox is though. If I access my favicon directly (eg. - r/https://myurl.com/favicon.ico) it shows up. Tried disabling cache and refresh, nothing. Going to reddit and other pages, in chrome or edge, I can see favicon. Tried using the same code with no result. JSFiddle specifically, also doesn't have favicon showing even when they have it in their [link] [comments]  | ||

| Are REST Resources and GraphQL Object Types conceptually equal? Posted: 25 Jul 2018 01:32 PM PDT I'm in the process of outlining the intended business logic of a web service. At this point, I'm not too concerned with implementation details. On the contrary, I'm looking for ways to abstract them away in order to describe the business logic and data exposed by the web service in an implementation-agnostic manner. I've read a little about the fundamental principles behind REST and GraphQL. RESTful services expose resources. GraphQL exposes data using Object Types. These concepts share some core characteristics:
I might be mixing up some terms, but am I overall correct in thinking both are conceptually equal or at least very similar? Is the omission of implementation details from the documentation an adequate means of 'bridging the gap' between the two (and possible future variations)? Are there standards for documenting the 'things' and the behaviour of their supported operations in an implementation agnostic manner? [link] [comments]  |
