    Who posts these insane job listings for non tech companies hiring web developers?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 08:48 AM PDT

    There aren't really any tech companies in my area so most of the web dev jobs are in non tech. It'll be like a car dealership looking for a developer and they'll want 3+ years experience with windows, linux, osx, BSD, Unix. they'll want 3+ years experience with django, .net, rails, and node.js. they'll want 3+ years experience with react, angular, and vue

    Who even uses freebsd or solaris in 2019... clearly whoever is in charge of hiring has no idea what stack they're even working with. Is HR just copy pasting some wishlist from google? Do the people in charge of hiring even know anything about webdev? I'm tempted to go in for an interview and flex how at my last job I uploaded the entire companies video cards without overriding the redundant PHP sensor and fixed the down RX protocol while networking the neural panel so they could shut down the USB matrix saving the company millions

    Why is maintainer of core-js having difficulty finding a job?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 09:43 AM PDT

    I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I ask this in a good faith and more so I am genuinely curious.

    There have been problems with corejs author logging the author is looking for a good job in the post-install message. Some people think its fine, others don't. Now that npm has banned postinstall advertisements, the author has said that these messages will be on app/broswer's console and if stopped from doing so, core-js will not be maintained completely, or it will be maintained as a commercial-only project

    source: https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/issues/635

    I don't want to discuss if its appropriate or not. But I really want to know why is guy like him finding it hard to get a good job?

    Will *any* tech company say no to such a guy? Shitty devs like me who have problems centring a div having it fine.

    What am I missing here?

    WooCommerce development is a nightmare

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 10:07 AM PDT

    I'm working on a custom WooCommerce website for a web agency. The requirements are pretty unusual, like they need to do custom tax calculations on the checkout page, depending on the different types of users.

    The point is that I found extremely frustrating trying to understand how WooCommerce works under the hood and how it displays prices, how it handles discounts etc.

    Everything feels messy and it's very difficult to write clean code.

    There isn't a proper documentation, and often I need to read the plugin code.

    What do you guys think, is WooCommerce good for a non-standard e-commerce? Are there better alternatives?

    Is React still worth it for non-dynamic webpages?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 04:54 AM PDT

    I've been learning a lot of front-end development stuff since I enjoy design work, I'm planning to start learning React, Vue and Angular pretty soon starting with React since that seems to be the most popular as of right now.

    I've done a few personal projects in the past with a lot of the basic stuff, but feel like I'm finally at a point where I can start finishing up the remaining parts of front-end development and maybe start including some back-end studies and projects.

    React seems useful for back-end heavy and dynamic sites.
    Having the components and such with the ability for users to enter in their own information and such sounds like a lot of fun and also like it will open a lot more creative freedom when it comes to designing websites / apps and the features that they contain.

    However, is React worth it for a static webpage?
    This is something I've been caught up on for the past few days, there are times where people just need a webpage that displays information about their company / themselves and nothing more. No blog posts, not search form, no login system etc. Is React worth using in these types of situations or is it not worth the effort? (I feel like effort is a very subjective term but I'll roll with it for now)

    React seems very nice for updating and maintaining code.
    ↑ This is the main reason I'm asking if this is worth doing / if it is being done already by other website developers. I feel like having the website split into components that can be reloading / changed without the need for a complete webpage refresh is not only user-friendly but makes the code easier to update/maintain in the future. Is this true?

    [(ngModel)] outputs string instead of value... Please help (MEAN Stack)

    I am trying to output a boolean value to update in the database. However, angular keeps outputting the string of the option instead of the actual value (See images as clarification).

    I was wondering if anyone had a fix for this.
    thanks in advance!

    Relevant part of HTML component

    Angular outputting it as a string

    If you need to have a look at the .ts file please let me know. I didn't include it right away because the model is very big.

    Emails end up in spam folder of non-gmail users?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 10:19 AM PDT

    I'm using https://forwardemail.net for email forwarding and hosting my domain on Netlify. Forwarding and receiving emails are working flawlessly. I have emails being sent to ["me@domain.com](mailto:"me@domain.com)" being forwarded to ["me@gmail.com](mailto:"me@gmail.com)". When it comes to sending emails from ["me@domain.com](mailto:"me@domain.com)", that's where I'm having the problem.

    I use an email client on desktop and mobile called Airmail. I have my ["me@gmail.com](mailto:"me@gmail.com)" account added. I'm trying to send emails using ["me@domain.com](mailto:"me@domain.com)" as an alias of ["me@gmail.com](mailto:"me@gmail.com)", but whenever I send an email like that, it ends up in the spam folder of non-gmail users. I tried adding a DKIM to my DNS records. I'm still not sure why they are ending up in spam.

    EDIT: I've tried setting up the "Send from g-mail" portion from the documentation of forwardemail.net, but generating and logging in via a generated app password doesn't seem to work with Airmail. There's an "app-password" account preference, but it never validates. I kind of just want to set it up as a simple alias anyways.

    Best way to self learn Web Development?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 01:23 AM PDT

    Hi all, I purchased a course on Udemy (Colt Steel Web Development Bootcamp) and was wondering what would be the best way to efficiently learn this course.

    Now I know this can vary and it's a personal thing, one can learn better than the other but I wanted to hear what options are out there to self learn?

    Should I be taking notes on a notebook or on a document page? Or screw taking notes and repeat lessons/ lines of code to really instill the knowledge in me?

    I guess what I'm trying to say here is that since there is no true speaking figure telling me what to do, how should I attack this feat?

    Video Face Recognition with JavaScript

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 07:55 AM PDT

    I'm planning to start a personal project with face recognition, but I don't have a single experience with this subject and I want some advice.

    The end result should be able to track face from a video that I upload and it will be great if it also can't tell them apart. I do want to use Javascript it possible. Is there an API that does this? Or some good article that can point me to a good direction.

    I'm not asking for code that I can copy and paste, but something that I can learn.

    VSCode Terminal stopped working

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 01:17 PM PDT

    Hey all, I opened VSCode and the terminal is not working. It was working yesterday, and the only thing I've done is close it and reopen it.

    WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE: There is no prompt or location, it's just blank with the white square there but accepts no input.

    Any solutions? Thanks!

    Online teaching frameworks/cookie-cutters?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:53 PM PDT

    I'd like to try putting out some free online instructional videos and wanted to know if there were any self-hosted frameworks that I could drop content into. I've done a fair amount of development in Angular2+ and Django and prefer to use AWS or GCP bucket hosting (static sites with Angular) or container-based(Django) due to lower maintenance & cost requirements. I'd be fine with Youtube embedding to begin with. I could probably put something together without too much effort, but wondered if there were any free/open-source frameworks that had already been built, which could potentially make life easier (account management, dashboards, ect). Anybody have advice on this?

    Should I submit this project as an example of my work to a poitential employer?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 04:29 PM PDT

    I'm trying to move my career over to the frontend side of things, I have no doubts about my own ability to operate in this area but my commercial experience is limited. I was previously working in a small agency as "the guy who does literally bloody everything and gets paid way too little for it" but the bit I enjoyed the most and tried to focus on was front-end development.

    I know my JS well but the commercial experience is very limited in terms of React, I cut my SPA teeth on Angular.js (v1) and the job I'm applying for is React specifically so I'd like to get at least two of that keyword in the application.

    Unfortunately, one of those two projects, I'm not proud of at all. I was bought on to rescue a total abomination under an extremely tight (2 80-hour week) deadline. And to my credit, I did deliver an "acceptable" result.

    Here are the advantages:

    1. It's quite hard to see how bad it was technically because it's now offline and I only have screenshots.
    2. The screenshots look good, it's not particularly complex but it has a nice design.
    3. Extremely strong brand recognition, like multinational cooperation combined with cultural phenomenon kind of recognition.

    Here are the problems I'm having:

    1. Talking up my role because while I did debug the JS side of things, I didn't create it and most of the work I did was styling and MVC backend.
    2. Finding things interesting to say about it because it was so simple.
    3. Trying to suppress my disdain for how it was originally implemented, it was the most over-engineered thing I've ever seen in my life and it was a hellish couple of weeks.

    Should I go for my old angular projects or is the brand/keyword thing enough to justify it's inclusion?

    Do I mention that I managed to rescue it or do I just sweep that under the rug? Personally, I would appreciate honesty like that but I often find myself being too honest in these things and I'd like to be positive about it.

    How to deploy a react/express site, which is run on two different ports, with this layout, to heroku?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 05:34 AM PDT

    I followed a tutorial to get my react site up and running, and have since diverged and just about finished the app I wanted to make. Works fine on my local environment, but now I'm trying to deploy it to Heroku and I don't really understand how to make it work since locally the react part runs on localhost:3000 and the backend runs on localhost:5000.

    I pushed it to Heroku and the react side works, but obviously it can't communicate with the back end since surely it's not running at localhost:5000 and honestly I don't even know if the back end is running at all, or how to tell.

    Here's the code of the tutorial I followed so you can see how it's laid out. Most of the instructions I've found for deploying to Heroku are for apps where the BACK end is in the root of the project directory, and the CLIENT has its own folder inside. Any help would be really great.

    https://github.com/beaucarnes/mern-exercise-tracker-mongodb

    edit: also is it normal to have your front end and back end running on totally different servers? It almost seems like that would be easier since I'd know where to tell the front end to look...though then I guess you get into having to make sure nobody knows the url of the back end or somehow protecting it, which I have no clue about. Ugh. I hate this part of web dev.
