| I need out. What other fields/careers can I transition into? Posted: 20 Jan 2019 02:02 AM PST I've worked at three different dev/design agencies and it's all the same shit. Poor management, over-promising and under-delivering, unrealistic deadlines and me dealing with the fallout of decisions made without me. I'm sick of inheriting and debugging spaghetti code and maintaining poor dev decisions. I'm sick of not having enough time to complete projects to a degree of quality I'm proud of. I'm sick of consistently being the only developer working at companies ostensibly calling themselves web development companies. I'm sick of being alone and not having fellow developers to help when I am struggling with an issue. I'm sick of constantly feeling on my own. I recognize my own shortcomings have to do with this as well. Teaching myself web development over the last six years has gotten me fairly consistent work at decent pay, but I am convinced I have no idea what I'm doing, and that the reason I keep getting saddled with crappy dev jobs is because companies who actually have their shit together must know better than to hire me. So I need out. I frankly can't handle the pressure and expectations that are put upon me. I don't know what to do since this has been my primary career since graduating college 6 years ago. But I have no idea what field I could possibly transition into or how to even begin that process. EDIT: Thanks for all the support and helpful suggestions. A lot of people are suggesting working for internal teams which I'd very much prefer (I am waiting to hear back regarding an interview for just that, so it's not all bad), but given I specialize in WordPress (actually devving, not just stitching together premade themes and plugins), it's hard to find a serious company who relies on WordPress heavily internally (and I don't blame them). I'd like to get into Rails, Laravel or Express but I'm not familiar enough with them to justify using them professionally yet but dunno how I could build up my portfolio using them. In any case, thank you for letting me rant. [link] [comments]  | ||

| [off-topic] What other domain do you spend time/want to learn other than webdev? Posted: 19 Jan 2019 09:07 PM PST This question has been bugging me for a while. I would like to learn something other than webdev as a secondary field but I couldnt figure out what to choose. Although I always wanted to be a programmer/Software Engineer, I never really wanted to be a webdev. I wanted to do all the cool stuff and not CRUD. I did some game development during college and some NLP(very minimal) during my first year at work. I have sound knowledge of Networking and Linux(due to my previous jobs) and Cybersec/Hacking/Pentest are also under my radar for a few years. Its been 3 years into webdev now and Im working as a freelancer/part of a small startup where I am kind of the frontend and tech lead guy. Although, it always bothers me. This webdev was supposed to be a temporary thing until I figure out what to do. I do enjoy working in JS and it sure does pay my bills but now and then the idea of, "dude. you just make UI components from sketch files by doing API fetch and parsing json" bugs me so much. I don't wanna be that super duper hacker guy who works for netflix or AWS, but I'd be happy to do something challenging and stuff that helps someone on a day to day basis. My question is, have you ever felt this way? If yes, whats your take on this. If no, am I overthinking this whole thing? Also suggest me some fields where I can expand myself(right now Game Dev and Cybersec are topping my list) [link] [comments]  | ||
| For those of you who create sites for small/medium-sized businesses, what web stack do you use? Posted: 20 Jan 2019 02:57 PM PST I was reading a Hacker News thread about this topic, and was surprised to the vast majority of commenters using Wix or Wordpress. . . . presumably because they've got so many ready-made components that can be "snapped" together. Is there any other stack - Python, .NET, etc. - that works as well for this use case? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Best DB for storing data from RESt API? Posted: 20 Jan 2019 04:24 PM PST So essentially I want to use an open source rest api and collect that data to present it on a website. I wouldn't be storing any other data, just JSON that is from the api. Is there any reason not to use a NoSQL database for this project? I'm leaning towards dynamodb but I've heard it isn't good for some sites so I would like more opinions. Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 20 Jan 2019 01:06 PM PST I've been stuck working on back end stuff for a number of years now. Mainly complex business logic. I realized I have become an idiot when it comes to anything front end related. I have started building a small to do web app in ASP.NET Core, just to get back into the game, but I have trouble with making it look nice. I am using Bootstrap because it is allows me to create an acceptable looking UI. I was wondering, how do you make sense of Bootstrap? It seems like there is a bunch of classes available, how do you know what to combine? Are there any cheatsheets you can recommend? For now I am not looking to become an expert in front end, but I don't want it look like an atrocity either. [link] [comments]  | ||

| How to create conditional elasticbeanstalk .config Posted: 20 Jan 2019 12:25 PM PST Hey people, I have an .ebextensions config file that sets up http -> https redirecting on my production server, but my staging server, which comes before production in my deployment pipeline doesnt have ssl configured, so the doing the http redirecting messes up the nginx config on my staging server. Is there a way to detect environment variables and execute scripts based on NODE_ENV for example? Googling for a bit and couldn't find any solid solutions. Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 20 Jan 2019 09:02 AM PST So I created the website and got it to appear on google, however, my friend asked me to boost its Google rating to preferably first page even if I have to pay for a service. The problem is that the website's name is literally a concatenated verb, adjective and noun keywords which are extremely popular so I am not sure if this is even achievable. So my question is whether I can get it to bottom of first google page somehow through SEO tricks or paid service ( Can you pay Google to have your website on the first page? ) Thanks for taking the time to read this.

| HELP: how to use to display info from a link? Posted: 20 Jan 2019 02:17 PM PST I have a client that wants to just add an article link, and have the metadata info work like on social media by fetching the image and title and display it on the site. I have been trying to find how to do this for days, and keep running into walls. I don't expect anyone to direct me on how to do it, but if anyone can at least point me to a direction I can research, that would be great. Thank you. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 20 Jan 2019 02:10 PM PST employees don't need any relationships to other employees. portfolios don't need to be connected to other portfolios(each portfolio has a unique value of address or location in a city) portfolios must be connected to ONE employee. If portfolio changed from another employee, it should house a history record of previous employee in its data set..something like "past employee" - person A employees COULD be categorized by Managers portfolios COULD be categorized by region portfolio assigned employee can change the data in each portfolio they are assigned. i.e square foot, cost, expense etc. But they can't change info on portfolios they are not assigned. - note to above, there would be some kind of verification/login needed i suppose So knowing these basic requirements, which type of DB should I lean towards?

| How do you test on old mobile browser versions (example Chrome Mobile 28 on Android) ? Posted: 20 Jan 2019 01:56 PM PST Guys hi, As the title says i wonder how do you test on old mobile browser versions? We catch the error on device with following User-Agent: Seems like it's Chrome Mobile 28 on Android 4.3 (device Samsung SM-N900T.0.0) We fixed the issue, but have no way to test it. I tried browserstack, they have lots of device options, but seems like all of them run update to date Chrome versions. We have android device for testing purposes, but don't see a way to install old version of Chrome (28 is from 2013). [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 20 Jan 2019 01:24 PM PST I'm currently putting together a webdev portfolio website, and I'm worried that using bootstrap instead of building something from complete scratch will be seen as "I'm unexperienced". Is this the case? How does more experienced devs see this? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Which is faster for web development in terms of knowledge? php vs python Posted: 20 Jan 2019 01:23 PM PST I have been using Django and it seems intermediate hard, i found myself looking for answers on google. I have never used PHP, so my question is for any php developer that has tried the Django framework, which do you think is faster for development ? In terms of time developing and knowledge? in other words which has the least amount of time googling? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Creating Leaderboard - CSS Grid, Flex or Tables? Posted: 20 Jan 2019 05:08 AM PST So I am making a leaderboard/standings based layout which will display current list of top players. I have marked it up and layed it out with Flex, however something tells me this is not the most effective way of displaying the data. I will have JS which will pull in a JSON output that an external DB/api will spit out to populate the leaderboard. I will have a search function that can live sort and also able to arrange Here is a screenshot of the leaderboard:http://prntscr.com/m9mn1v Codebase of the Leaderboard:https://codepen.io/imisterk/pen/xmvMLr Live Search JS implementation:https://codepen.io/imisterk/pen/JwVmxV PS don't hate me for possibly brutalising the layout with filthy markup/css, but do please point it out and tell me where I can improve.

| Posted: 20 Jan 2019 08:28 AM PST Hello, I am looking for a frontend to my backend. A body to my soul, the chocolate chips to my cookies. I have an asp.net core backend with very little logic at this point. I have little to no knowledge of a frontend framework. I am not looking for what is easier to learn. I am looking for an optimized frontend solution that will integrate well with a .net core backend. Something that is sleek, lightweight and that can be easily upscaled to enterprise level. Something that will also give me an edge and a plus. Rest assured, I am a dev and I have googled and overflowed the stacks but I am here asking for an honest opinion from people who are well versed in the field. [link] [comments]  | ||
