| Jack of all trades, master of none. Posted: 04 Aug 2019 06:22 AM PDT I think I've kind of dug myself into a hole. I am a front end engineer, ui and ux designer, and full stack developer. Maybe this is my impostor syndrome kicking in but I don't consider myself a master at any of those. I have about 4 years experience in the field and I think not being a master is a problem.. Working at startups, being a jack of all trades is a good thing! But, if I apply to a more established company they are really looking for an expert in 1 domain. The creative thinking in ui and ux is so satisfying. Colors, accessibility, usability.. I love it! The problem solving and building of features is super satisfying as well. I love it! I'm not sure what to do to be honest. I'd love some advice if you have any. Maybe I'm overreacting. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Google AMP is useless. Am I wrong? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 10:40 AM PDT I'm not a developer, so I thought I'd pose this question here to get a more informed opinion on Google AMP and the issues I have with it. About 95% of the time, Google AMP will not load interactive media that's embedded in news articles. I have to take the extra step of clicking the button that takes me to the original site to view it. Often times, the media that AMP fails to load is not even embedded media. Sometimes it's a headline photo that won't load or a video that won't play. This issue is widely known and Google has done nothing to fix it. I've read that publishers need to be regularly reconfiguring their sites to fit the algorithm—so then why is the issue still prevalent among top websites and smaller websites alike? Seems like there's a bigger issue that goes beyond the backend of every website that's working to be compatible with AMP. I understand Google is trying to give readers a better experience, but by not addressing these AMP bugs (which have been reported for years, by the way), they're actually preventing users from being able to access important information. Especially in the context of breaking news, this can be the difference between danger and safety. Here's an example: Someone in an active shooter situation or another immediate threat of violence tries to Google news to find out where to go for safety and EMT assistance. To their dismay, they can't see the whole article because Google's content blockers have wrongfully labeled a map as an ad. Because they're in a hurry to get this information fast, to get out of danger, they give up on Googling and end up going to the wrong area. This is an extreme example, but it's one that regularly crosses my mind when I find that important content is inaccessible on some AMP pages that I come across. In aiming to make the experience quick and seamless for the user, Google is not addressing key problems with AMP that are known to users everywhere. These functionality problems render the feature useless, in my view. Why isn't AMP not optional by now? Seems like this would be a good thing, so users who are fed up with the content-blocking system can simply opt out. It's still bewildering to me that Google hasn't done this, considering company spokespeople have said in the past they're working on making it optional. As someone who isn't a developer myself and admittedly doesn't understand the mechanics of this, am I missing something? [link] [comments]  | ||
| How often do you use advanced data structures and algorithms? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 05:42 AM PDT Hi, I have just finished a book for JS Data Structures and Algorithms. My question is how often do you use Sets, Maps, Dictionaries, Hash Tables, Queues, Stacks, advances sorting algorithms, traversing binary trees and so on on a React/Node project or just in general any project that involves JS? I work as a fullstack web dev with React/Nest and honestly I have never had the need to implement directly any of that, except probably a few sorting algorithms , or maybe I am doing something wrong? It feels like I haven't used the potential of existing data structures and algorithms and just want to check if it's just me. Can someone please explain? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 04 Aug 2019 07:53 AM PDT TLDR; I'm fat. How do I not be fat while keeping my work capacity up. I've been a professional developer for about a year now and I have gone from 170 lbs and muscular to 213 lbs and weak, I have gone from an amateur Mixed Martial Artist with a couple smokers to maybe showing up to training once a week. I've gone from a Special Operations candidate to a candidate for gastric bypass surgery. I have always been very fit and health conscious, so much so that it became part of my identity. I am a cancer survivor so I know the path I'm going down is increasing my chances of another bout with cancer. I just feel lost. Seriously, I have this mentality of work til dead because that's what it took in the military, but I'm beginning to think that is not transferrable to the software industry. I was so gung-ho and wrapped up in my work that I've allowed myself to tack on ~40 lbs. this past year. How do you remain productive while caring about your health? I feel like if I take breaks during my workday that I lose focus and I spend more time regaining that focus than is justifiable. If I'm not coding 10+ hours a day I feel like I've accomplished nothing (even with the 10+ hours I feel like I've done nothing). How do you justify breaks to your bosses? How do you maintain focus during the day while taking all these breaks I see you guys talking about. Someone on here said they get up and walk around every 15 minutes. I don't understand how you can do that and still get things done. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Will Progressive Web Apps (PWA) Become Viable Alternatives To Native Mobile Apps? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 09:03 AM PDT The technology surrounding PWA's are extremely interesting. For those who don't know what a progressive web app is, it is essentially a website that looks and works like a mobile app. Yes it is responsive as hell, but it also sends you notifications , and can use Native features such as the camera. This is made possible by only using regular web tech like HTML, CSS, JS, PHP Python etc. An example of this would be : & What are your thoughts ? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Professional webdevs, what hardware do you work on? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 05:26 AM PDT What hardware do you design, write code and compile on? Which monitor, mouse, keyboard, cpu, gpu would you recommend? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Where can I find really, really long term reliable web hosting (like decades)? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 06:17 AM PDT Since getting familiar with the web in its early days, and creating my own sites, its shocked me how easy it is for something to drop off the internet. Everything from Geocities going down, Tumblr suddenly filtering stuff via a faulty algorithm, or just a single missed credit card payment meaning that something you've uploaded is no longer there. I don't even need to get into how web companies keep changing their domains or links, breaking links towards them. I'm looking for web hosting or similar service (I can handle virtual machines) that I can be sure will still be around, hosting my content, years and years from now, decades even. Not to be too much of a downer, but I may die someday, and when that happens I want the stuff I uploaded to be available for long after I'm dead. Sort of a legacy. Yes, I know the proper way to do this is to set up a trust that keeps renewing hosting fees, but I'm wondering if there's a different, techie solution. I can handle an upfront cost, but I want my stuff to be accessible, always reachable at the same link, and generally easy to access by me and update when I want to. Just not have a fear that the whole thing will suddenly go down the moment anything happens to the company or me. [link] [comments]  | ||
| What do you call it when you make url variables look like directories? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 12:51 PM PDT E.g: Take a url that looks like this: http://www.example.com/?id=123&u=john695 and turn it into something like this: http://www.example.com/123/john695. I'm sure it's something to do with the web server but I can't find exactly what that process is called so I can look it up to learn it. Thank you for any help/guidance. [link] [comments]  | ||

| 5 Reasons why you should NOT go to a coding bootcamp Posted: 04 Aug 2019 11:40 AM PDT I went to a coding bootcamp 2 years ago - and from my experience and people I met, these are reasons why someone should NOT go to a coding bootcamp. Don't like software and/or technical thinking
Influences from family & friends
Can't take time off to devote yourself, build habits, handle stress
It's really expensive
You can learn on your own (Seriously)
I share more of my thoughts here (I have a series of coding bootcamp subjects): What are your thoughts on coding bootcamps? Yes, they have their flaws, and it's not for everyone. But the high-quality ones are not completely terrible. [link] [comments]  | ||
| How do you "capture" colors when designing on the web? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 12:14 PM PDT I do not have PS and currently learning to use figma. I tried all the 3 different chrome color eyedropper extensions and all of them are broken or terrible. I simply want to click on a pixel and get the color in said pixel. How do you guys do that?

| Need your opinion about this project! Posted: 04 Aug 2019 01:42 PM PDT So I'm in a struggle. I met up with someone who currently has a WordPress website with 3000+ posts based on a theme from 2013. Every year they add like 300/400 posts. Now he asked me if I want to create a new website. So here's the deal, I'm not a big fan of WordPress, so what should I do? I guess I have three options: 1) Migrate all data to an other cms (any suggestions what to use?). 2) I could remove all plugins and themes (or install a fresh wp and migrate all data) and create a theme myself. 3) I could remove all plugins and themes (or install a fresh wp and migrate all data) and use WordPress as headless cms. And create a nuxt/Gatsby frontend. So what should you do in my case or do you have another option? Maybe not take the project by example. I really like to hear your opinion! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Would love to hear about everyone's local dev environment Posted: 04 Aug 2019 07:11 AM PDT Would love to hear about everyone's local dev environment. Not your work set-up, but your at home set-up (or work if you are solo dev like me). I recently switched from a Macbook Pro to a 17'' Windows laptop. My Mac set-up was pretty standard (MAMP then moved to vagrant). On my windows machine now:

| Do you take a day off from coding? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 03:09 PM PDT Hello friends, I just started two months ago teaching myself how to code. There is no day that I do not code cause I feel guilty by not doing it... Do you guys take a day off from coding as well? I'm actually afraid that I'm wasting time when I play games or relax for a little bit instead of studying or building projects... Any tips will be appreciated, thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 04 Aug 2019 02:54 PM PDT I am using Advanced Ads plugin and have it setup to deploy as a widget and i can see the code in F12. I'm trying to use Adsense for my ads and the only thing I can think is wrong is that it still says "Getting Ready" for the site I have it under, as I did recieve an email saying it wasn't showing up correctly. When I try to see if the ads work though, they I can't see them nor clikc them (not that I would, just making a point) The website is https://thegamecenterdiscord.com/ if you wanted to check out the coding to it [link] [comments]  | ||
| Client creates account and Favorites catalogs like Pintrest. Hard to create? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 02:51 PM PDT Hi all. I have a bunch of catalogs from companies I represent. I'm planning to digitally upload these catalogs to my website to save money and give my clients easy, forever access to them. Currently working with Squarespace website. I'd like to eventually create a feature on my website where clients create an account and are able to "star" their favorite literature from the endless list. These starred catalogs will be saved in their account for easy viewing. Is this something easy to do with Squarespace if I hire someone capable of coding this here or should I look at another web builder? Any input appreciated! [link] [comments]  | ||

| How to show ratings on a website? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 02:03 PM PDT I am developing an Recipe App and kinds stuck on how to properly show a Rating on a recipe also considering that the user will be able to see their own rating. If a user has not rated the recipe I should show the actual rating, however if the user has rated it already I should show their rating. I'm stuck on the point on how could a user could see the real rating of the recipe once they have already voted, without showing a seperate section. I'm wondering what typical websites show once you have already rated the product. [link] [comments]  |
