    Why are there so many bad tutorials?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 09:02 PM PST

    I've been learning some of the more advanced features of react and one thing I've noticed that annoys me is that there are so many bad tutorials. For example some tutorials are way too complex and have things that don't even involve the tutorial. Then others make the code so small that you need a magnifying glass to read it. Then some people play music and have dogs barking during tutorials. It's really annoying. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Need advice: how to stop over engineering solutions

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 06:29 AM PST

    Hey all,

    So I have a little problem that I'm not really sure how to deal with. I have a very bad habit of over engineering solutions to simple problems. I always want to make sure I'm coming up with the cleanest and most efficient code, patterns using the correct data-structures ect . I end up over thinking things and so it ends up taking me way longer to develop solutions that should take no time at all. Im not sure if anyone else has this problem but its starting to make me anxious whenever I approach a problem as to whether Im making things more complex then they need to be.

    For example if Im building a react component I like to make sure each sub-component is reusable across the entire application and not just the component. I feel like this is best practice but obviously it means I cut it very close to deadlines since I often have to rewrite code a billion times in order to ensure I have the best possible structure. A lot of my projects are somewhat small so many of my colleagues don't understand what the point is.

    Anyone else dealing with this issue. Is this normal? What advice can you give me ?

    How do I make google sites more interesting?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 04:56 PM PST

    For a school project we are supposed to create a website to display our research. However, we are only limited to using google sites and it's a very bland platform that doesn't allow for much creativity. Since a part of my grade is for aesthetics I was wondering if anyone had any advice for interesting website layouts that could work for google sites. Any tips, tricks or advice would be very useful!

    I apologize if this is not what this sub is intended for but I would appreciate any help!

    Might be a silly question- but what’s the easiest way to implement a footer like this? I’d think something is absolutely positioned, but I’m not sure that’d do the trick.

    How to find the motivation for Front End Development?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 01:28 PM PST

    Note: Not a concise post, also includes my rant. tl;dr at the end.
    Note: First post on Reddit (reposting because wasn't allowed before), please excuse my errors.
    I started learning web development 6 months ago because I found the web to be the most interesting field in the programming world. Also because one could easily see their results on a browser.

    But now it's been 6 months and I have barely made many complete projects even though I have learned quite a few technologies like Laravel and MERN stack.
    Which got me so frustrated because I can't find an internship. No surprise really, I haven't got much in my resume to show that I can develop. So first I thought I guess WebDev isn't for me if I can't even find it in me to make a few practice projects. So I moved on to learn a bit about Data Science.

    But then just today, I built a basic WebScraping API to use for DS, within a hour or so. So I wondered how?

    Then I realized, it's not the programming, it's the designing. My limiting factor is CSS and designing. I don't have any projects completed because I stop at the designing part. I have three projects with back-end made in my Github but I can't put them on my resume because they aren't complete. I can't make even get myself to make anything on React Native or Electron because I stop thinking about it the moment I think about the design.

    And it's not even that I hate visuals, I absolutely am stunned by some websites. I just suck at doing visuals. Which has gone deep rooted in me to hate it. Even a Polling App I made depended on Reactstrap and was shit in visuals.
    How can overcome this? Or is their a way to fill up show my resume with Backend projects w/o designing much?

    tl;dr How to find the motivation and get better at CSS and Frontend?

    How can I continue learning as a solo, remote freelancer?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 11:11 AM PST

    Three years ago, I quit my full-time job as a web developer for a startup in SF to try the remote/DN thing. Since then, most of my work up has been either completely solo, or on a small team where I'm the only/most experienced developer.

    I feel like my development skills are plateauing, and I don't know what to do. It makes sense though, I am hired as a freelancer for the skills I already have, not my potential for learning on the job.

    One of the things I miss the most from my in-person job is the mentorship from senior developers. I miss being able to ask a quick question, or have them code review my work. Without this guidance, I often feel lonely since it's just me and the internet vs the problem.

    My current method to continue learning is to read blogs, read weekly newsletters, and work through online courses. The challenge here is that it's still entirely up to me to interpret and adapt the lessons into my own work. I don't have anyone to discuss the learning points with and verify that I understand the lesson correctly. I have a few side projects where I can experiment with new ideas in a low-consequence environment, but it's still just me.

    Do you have any advice on how I can continue learning (and ideally, find some mentorship) as a solo, remote freelancer?

    Thoughts on sending text data diffs to server instead of entire text

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 04:50 PM PST

    Does anyone here have experience sending text data diffs to a backend rather than sending the entire data? I'm working on an application that has an "autosave" functionality when editing a potentially-large doc, and it seems wasteful and possibly expensive to send the entire text to the backend on each autosave. Instead, it intuitively seems like less data would be sent (on average) if there were a way to send some representation of a diff to the backend and then patch the data in the database.

    Does anyone here have experience with, or know best practices for, this kind of operation?

    TIP:Don't auto-translate your page if you can't provide exact country language.

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 01:00 PM PST

    I'm European and some sites are not usable. Most people don't understand the neighbor country language. For example - not all Germans understand Polish, but a lot of people understand the native language and English, at least allow us to choose in the top navbar.

    If language is stored in session or cookie that's even worse because I can at least easily edit URL (like example.com/en-us/)

    Angular + Web Components: a complete guide

    Filtering JSON data for web display and I'm unsure of what tech to use. Looking for opinions.

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 04:37 PM PST

    I need to filter JSON data from an API, flag it based on various rules (think spam/phishing filter), then pass it to a React.js front-end. Should I approach it inside JavaScript, or is there another library or language that can do the job better?

    What would you class as basic JavaScript knowledge?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 07:06 AM PST

    I see many job applications say basic knowledge but never really know what classes as basic

    Edit: this is for an internship role if that differs

    need help understanding MERN authentication & architecture?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 03:44 PM PST

    so I've set out to create my first MERN webapp (first full-stack tech i've touched) with authentication, and I've found that I'm having trouble understanding how these types of apps are setup and which components have which responsibilities. i understand how your typical CRUD app works and I can build a basic MERN app w/ a basic, unprotected API, but adding authentication and handling data between the frontend/backend seems really confusing.

    i've read thru countless tutorials about cookies, session store, local storage, etc etc. and everything i've come across is either poorly explained, doesn't explain anything beyond the login process itself, or clashes with what i read previously, and at this point i'm pretty confused.

    anyone have any good resources on the topic that'll help me understand what's going on?

    How important is Dark Mode? Any stats or numbers (increased user activity etc) to justify implementing it?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 03:29 PM PST

    I personally love it but benefits alone aren't often enough. Are there any stats/numbers/articles/success stories etc that point to actual increase in value from marketing perspective (like increased user activity, retention/usage time) to justify the cost-to-benefit ratio?

    PS: Not just for desktop, but mobile sites/apps as well.

    Is there a website or service where you pay to fix a bug on your project?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 03:25 PM PST

    I'm developing for Android natively at the moment and I have this one bug, on a severity of 0-10 it's a .5(so not even a 1). It's a very small issue that's not really a big deal. I've tried solving it but haven't been successful. Instead of sinking more time into this issue I'd rather just pay someone to fix it. Maybe I can hire a freelancer? Do you know of any services or sites if any? Thanks

    How often do you create new branches in Git?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 03:12 PM PST

    Hey guys,

    Just trying to get a bit of a consensus here. I was kind of trained to only ever have 3 branches- development, staging, production.

    That has just been an unspoken rule at my company that I've never questioned until just now.

    What are your thoughts?

    Is it okay to have different DNS entries on server and with Cloudflare or registrar?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 03:01 PM PST

    My hosting service uses an interface that doesn't allow me to edit the DNS entries, but I need to set up TXT records for email and CNAME my CDN.

    I know I can make these edits with my registrar on a reverse proxy like Cloudflare, but I'm wondering if there are any security issues with having different DNS entries outside the server than on the server.

    (As context, I'm asking because I use Cloudfront as a CDN. And, when removing one of the CNAME entries there, there was a warning that I needed to remove the same CNAME from my host in order to avoid creating a vulnerability.)

    Would this apply to DNS differences between a host server and Cloudflare or my registar as well?

    Or is this specific to Cloudfront and/or CDNs?

    Any guidance would be appreciated.

    I'm looking for material that shows how annoying the web browsing has become nowadays.

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 02:10 PM PST

    I remember seeing on Reddit some interesting and funny (sadly funny) comics, gifs, possibly xkcd,... that illustrate how the web browsing experience can be real bad with all these popups, notification content, newsletter invite, GDPR, etc...

    Today I'm looking for something to illustrate my slide deck for a conference talk and I couldn't any by searching in all my programming-related subs and I can find any :(

    Can anyone help ?
