    What’s the worst thing you’ve ever heard your boss/manager say about web development that showed how little they truly understood web development.

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 07:52 PM PDT

    I worked at a small web design firm, and when I say web design, I mean mostly just buying bootstrap templates, changing the colors, adding content, and FTPing (yeah yeah, I know) the files to a shared hosting environment.

    My boss always wanted to sound like he knew his shit, so he'd hear us devs use some jargon whilst speaking among ourselves, and then he would take it and just start making up totally random sentences trying to sound smart to clients.

    I was working away one day on an application I was building, when I heard him say on the phone: "All our sites are custom coded with an html front-end and a bootstrap back-end..."

    My friend called it the land of pretend and I couldn't agree more. I've since left because I was done learning what I could learn from there. Also, my boss wasn't kind.

    The cost of retrieving 30TB of 4 million files from cloud storage... $2,740?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 07:07 AM PDT

    I currently use Google Nearline as a backup service for my Hetzner storage server. Given the monthly cost I'm considering swapping to local hard drives at home instead.

    It got me to considering the retrieval cost, to help convince me to move to rolling my own hardware solution. Can someone confirm to me this calculation. If I had to restore my full backup from Nearline would I be looking at roughly

    • 1) retrieval: 30,000GB * $0.01 / GB = $300
    • + 2) operations: 4,000 * $0.01 / 10,000 class-B ops = $40
    • + 3) traffic: 30,000GB * $0.08 / GB = $2,400

    = $2,740 total cost?

    On Amazon Glacier it seems to be even more, those sums look like it'd be $90 + $1,200 + $2,550 = $3,840.

    Do these numbers seem realistic, or have I misunderstood transfer/request costs?

    I get that they could be a lot cheaper if my main server was in Google's or Amazon's networks, but given that they're not...

    Thanks

    Periods of little to do at work?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 09:07 AM PDT

    So I just started my first full-time salaried development position for a startup about 2 and a half months ago. We are a small team, and I am only one of 4 developers, with me being the only frontend developer with limited backend experience. We are currently in between projects requiring any significant amount of frontend work, and for the past couple of weeks, I've only really been working on small bug fixes, adding forms for clients, doing client demos, and trying to learn what I can about our Rails backend.

    It's getting to the point where I have done so little work over the past 2-3 weeks that I am starting to feel anxious. I know that because we are a small team at a startup, things might be a little less structured than some larger company with devs on an agile workflow or whatever, but if anyone else has worked on a small team/for a startup, have you had any similar experiences?

    Best Front-End Tutorials... GO!

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 11:36 AM PDT

    I'm working on getting a co-worker to take on some dev related work and I want to help provide good resources for them to get up to speed. I realize that I'm not really sure who's got the best low level fundamentals tutorials. I'm looking for basics like CSS, HTML, and beginner JS, as well as maybe some command line, basic ops, git, etc. Some of the work they will be doing will be maintaining old sites so, I'd like to make sure they cover fundamentals and not just "here's the hottest xyz library to come sizzling out of the internets"

    Have you found something particularly valuable? Thanks for your thoughts!

    What's the best way to secure endpoint but requests are made from client?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 02:24 PM PDT

    I'm trying to log user activities, specifically when the user is adding a payment to his account for reusability. When the user enters their credit card information, a token is generated by Stripe. If the information is incorrect, it returns an error. I want to log this activity as suspicious in my database, so I send a POST request to /api/log/create.

    But obviously, I don't want anyone to just send a request and create fake logs through Postman or something. How can I secure this endpoint so that only I (or my app/server) can create these logs?

    I'm thinking of using an environment variable as a secret key/password so that requests made from clients cannot mimic this variable. Something like

    if (process.env.CREATE_LOG_TOKEN) { // create log }

    Question is, how secure is this?

    Would like to hear alternative ways to do this if anyone has any?

    Hiring my first candidate, what should/shouldn't I do?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 05:07 AM PDT

    Hello,

    Hoping this is ok to be posted here - I feel like there's a lot of nightmare interview posts on here so maybe some of you guys can help out.

    My company have decided to hire another FE Dev to work alongside me (currently working alone). I've previously interviewed once before but was not the main person involved in the process so this is quite a big deal for me. I've had a lot of interviews in my time and know a lot of the things I hate but I'm less clear on the best ways to find the top candidates.

    I wouldn't technically be their line manager but I'd be their senior and expected to help them improve.

    Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    EDIT: Thanks so much for all the replies!

    Building a web app with tools that all use react as front end and some tools use django and some use node

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 04:26 PM PDT

    So I am hiring out to build some tools. Some devs are build some tools in Django and react, some are build with nodejs and react. My question to you is someone who isn't that knowledgeable about this but understands a bit, how can i connect all these tools to the web app front end which is built out in react. So when a user visits the website, he can use the tools but each tool is built out in either django or node, how can I make this all seamless?

    Thanks.

    Why you chose AWS over DO/Vultr, and why the opposite?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 02:25 AM PDT

    Hello everyone, I used to learn and work with HTML/CSS, some Javascript, and WordPress before, until 2 years ago i had an opportunity to work on UI/UX design. After I quit my UI/UX job, I'm looking to merge my design skill with frontend development. Right now I'm trying to learn js again and trying to build my own CMS for my website. After all the research it came down the web hosting for the web app. I saw a lot of people use AWS for their js projects (even in my previous company). I used Digital Ocean and Vultr before and I know Linux, but can't really deeply understand how AWS works and what should I sign up for. So like my title,

    • why you chose AWS or DO for your project?
    • Do i have to install linux and config Aws like I would do in DO?
    • Which one give you the room to be crazy with ur project?

    ​

    Thanks, and forgive my English

    Building a Web app that relies upon membership, calendar, and saved data. What's best for this?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 03:31 PM PDT

    My last project was a huge home-grown PHP framework used to power an intranet for a financial services company. It used Bootstrap, JQuery, MySQL, PHP.

    For this new project, essentially I'll be building shared calendars, visible to groups of members. I don't know much about new technologies, or even if any of them are worth the bother, but if you had to build this project, what would you pick for the components, and what would each component bring to the table?

    What would you say as a junior if someone asks what value you bring to the company?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 03:28 PM PDT

    I've pondered over this question from time to time and I can't really think of what I bring as a junior with no experience. What would you say?

    Angular VS React VS Vue

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 03:59 AM PDT

    I've worked with React and really liked the way it works. Simple, straight to the point, but still flexible enough for more robust stuff. However, I'm seeing more and more, job postings asking for Angular developers. I would like to pursue, for now, React developments, but it's taking a toll on choosing jobs. I'm completely ignorant to Vue, so...theres that. What do you think about the future of these three?

    Researching new software technologies and keeping your applications up to date

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 11:28 AM PDT

    I've been looking to take a step forward at my current employer, and I've found the best way to do that is find ways to improve current applications by using newer technologies and improved practices. As one who has never really taken the initiative to do this in the past, I'm struggling with finding the best way to go about this. What is your go to when looking for new ideas to improve your code? What are some of your favorite resources to help keep yourself up to date?
