| Posted: 17 Oct 2018 12:43 PM PDT Hi everyone, I work at a small medical education company with about ~20 people where I was hired to cold-call offices & schedule events, but their workflows are out of the 90's and could use a lot of improvement. I'm 25 years old with a Public Relations degree and my current job here pays $16/hr with no benefits. I've been teaching myself web dev for about a year now and I showed my boss how I could automate a lot of the work by using cloud-based apps (think Airtable / etc.) as a database and sending emails / texts / other time-consuming tasks /etc. through a Node.js app. Right now they have an internal tool they use which is very, very bad and I'd be working full-time on building a new tool to replace that one. My boss loves the idea and offered me a position to rework their entire infrastructure as a developer, but would like me to commit to it at least a year (not in writing or a contract, just W2 with the preference I stay a year). I'm requesting $60,000/yr (about $28 - $29/hr) with the ability to work remote a few days a week (my commute is awful), not work required overtime, and receive medical benefits. He'll very likely give it to me since this will be a huge improvement and it's still cheaper than hiring an agency. However, I have another offer I could take with an actual web dev agency that offered me about $25/hr (temp-to-hire for first 6 months) and no benefits. I'll make less money and won't have as many perks, but I think I'll learn more in this environment - I'm not sure though. Pros of taking job at current office:
Cons of taking job at current office:
I'm afraid I might be losing out on the intense education that comes with a first-time web dev job since I'll be putting together a simple project by myself at this office. Would it be better long-term to take the lower paying job? Or will I still learn enough working on a Node app by myself full-time with simple APIs to justify the higher pay? I don't want to work on a project here for a year if it'll hurt my growth in the long-term. I could always say that I'll stay a year then just bounce after 6 months to another web dev job, but that feels kinda shitty and I'd rather not. What do you all think I should do? Thanks for the help! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 16 Oct 2018 06:22 PM PDT This will be interesting, I wonder what the cause is. I'm getting 500's everywhere and none of the pages even load, this is crazy. r/youtube is blowing up right now with posts about people not being able to go on. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Does anyone want to work together on a self-improvement side project? Posted: 17 Oct 2018 01:58 PM PDT I have an idea for a site which offers practical self-improvement goals that are applicable to most but usually not taught in school. This could be anything from how to cook the perfect steak to how to manage your personal finances. All this how-to information exists in abundance but there isn't a central place for it with a community focus (including creating and modifying content) and methods of keeping track of your progress as you acquire new knowledge and skills. I'm a web dev and have previously completed side projects (Here's an example, a group availability finder I created). But I think it would be fun this time around to do a collaborative project so we bounce ideas around and learn from each other. If that catches your interest at all post up here or send me a DM and we'll talk more. [link] [comments]  | ||

| What do I need to be comfortable with in terms of JavaScript, before learning Vue or React? Posted: 17 Oct 2018 10:16 AM PDT I'd love to learn Vue or React. At this point, I'm comfortable with DOM Manipulation. I've built a trivia game and half built another small project. Just wondering if there's anything else specifically I need to be comfortable with before moving forward? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 17 Oct 2018 10:45 AM PDT Hi. I have been using Sendgrid for some time. I opened a second account with them but in the very first e-mail I sent for this second account to test, it was blocked by Hotmail. The reason appears to be because the IP address Sendgrid is using is blocked by Hotmail (my guess is the IP address is shared by other accounts on Sendgrid). So now I am looking at other alternatives. Amazon SES was decent for deliverability but my main gripe with Amazon SES is that they don't have an interface like Sendgrid to tell you which e-mails were delivered, and if the e-mails weren't delivered, why they weren't delivered. SES's interface also doesn't tell you whether the user opened the e-mail or not. And SES's interface doesn't allow you to manage bounced e-mails like Sendgrid does. It's like you need to build your own interface to do all the stuff that Sendgrid has already built in their interface. What are other alternatives to Sendgrid with excellent deliverability? I'm pretty much looking at similar interface as Sendgrid. I would like to be able to see if the e-mail was delivered. If the e-mail wasn't delivered, why it wasn't delivered. If the e-mail is bounced, it should be added to a bounce list to prevent further sending, etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||

| VSCode: Can I limit Intellisense suggestions? Posted: 17 Oct 2018 12:38 PM PDT I've looked around but haven't found much on this topic. I'm developing primarily in Javascript with React and use VSCode as my main driver. I made the switch from Sublime about a year ago and would never go back, I really, really enjoy it. Thing is tho, and I know this isn't a VS thing but Intellisense: Please tell me: I am not the only one who feels this way. Is there any possible way to limit the results? I don't want to turn it off completely but jesus christ it's so much overkill and it's driving me crazy. Thank you in advance for any advice! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Curious about using separate apps for front-end and back-end (preference vs performance?) Posted: 17 Oct 2018 02:46 PM PDT Alright, so my team and I have been developing a mobile app for monitoring and reporting issues out in the field. We built it with a React Native front-end, and a Rails back-end. I have been tasked with creating an admin web portal for the people in the office to organize the reports. I have decided to build the web app in React as well, for consistency, and because I already know React well. I have been looking through my options, and I have noticed that I can either use a react + rails gem and tie the web app into the same rails app that powers the back-end, or I can build the front-end and back-end as two separate apps. My question is this -- if I tie the web app into the existing rails app that powers the back-end for our mobile app, will this bog down our mobile app. Also, when it comes to deciding between using the front-end and back-end as one app or two separate apps, are there any performance related reasons as to why I should choose one or the other, or is it just based on preference? Thanks a bunch! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Modern Workflow: Syncing databases Posted: 17 Oct 2018 07:11 AM PDT Im trying to modernize my workflow. I've been using GIT for managing source code/version control, but i still haven't found a way to seemlessly sync up databases and their data, without losing commerce data and taking the site down temporarily? Let's use a wordpress site with woocomerce as an example. Changes are made to dev ( new ACFs, a new custon post type, whatever ). There is now new data in the database - now it's intended to push these changes to live. The live site, being e-commerce, constantly has new purchases and data being added to the database. I'm wondering what modern technologies--if any exist--simplify pushing the changes made to the dev database onto the live database without losing the new data on live? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Info for new devs around websites vs webapps Posted: 17 Oct 2018 03:16 AM PDT I thought I'd say a little on this as I've seen a fair few posts where people think site builders will wipe out design/devs as people are 'doing it themselve' and also as a bit of advise if money is one of your biggest motivators. So yes for typical 'brochure' websites a lot of people will move to look at doing it via a website builder. This works for some people (mainly self employed people who understand a bit of tech) but not for everyone. There is still a market there for studio style website work (albeit slightly smaller now). However unless you work at a very well organised company it is typical you won't be using the latest and greatest tech, workflow and practices. Pay is also likely to be average. But if that's what you enjoy building then great! However there is a whole other market for devs. What's happened with tech in the last 5-10 years is software applications that were built to run natively on desktop machines are now being created as 'web apps'. Being able to access your applications from anywhere on any device that has an internet connection is a massive advantage to having to install software only on certain machines etc. Due to this there is now a big market for web developers to work on web applications. Obviously the work can be quite different compared to building a brochure styled site but for me in terms of salary: a few years back I applied for a FE role. It was creating websites for companies using WordPress. The pay was around £24k ish. If I look at jobs that involve working on web applications the pay for a mid level FE dev is around £40k. Just thought I'd share that with anyone that was unaware of this and just think they can only work building websites and worry about it dying out! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Websites that tell you they use cookies Posted: 17 Oct 2018 01:00 PM PDT Why do some websites alert you that they use cookies? The entire internet is run on cookies, and you'd be hard pressed to find a site that doesn't use them in some manner. I'm not aware of any law anywhere that requires the notifications and I don't really understand why some websites require you to "accept" them. Am I missing something? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 17 Oct 2018 12:30 PM PDT Any self taught developers in here? If so how have your journey been going for you, and what are some challenges you still face? Bonus-Link your portfolio, I need the INSPIRATION! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 17 Oct 2018 04:08 PM PDT I'm limited on time because I commute and have a full time job. I want to pivot into web development. I knows basic html and css. Which course should I do? I purchased both on Udemy. I don't know what their pros and cons are. Thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||
| What should I expect from my first web dev interview? Posted: 17 Oct 2018 04:01 PM PDT This Monday I have my first web developer for a front-end position. Aside from my resume and personal webpage, what should I bring to the table? How can I present my knowledge to them? Even though this is just a front-end developer position, I do know quite a bit when it comes to back-end development too. Do I bring up my flexibility in that area as a bonus skill I have? Below is the job description. What can I do to make sure I NAIL this?

| Posted: 17 Oct 2018 03:57 PM PDT For Flexbox, what's the alternative to use to evenly space out your columns in a grid layout instead of Do I simply just have to use old-fashioned CSS and manipulate margin for each div in the layout? I do not have the option to use CSS Grid. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 17 Oct 2018 03:52 PM PDT my dream is to be a full stack developer and to drop out of college college is one of the most depressing decisions i've ever made, i hate it and love self taught programming i'm scared to make the jump and drop out to pursue a career based on talent and experience alone any personal advice would be greatly appreciated [link] [comments]  | ||
