    Clients who don't understand what lorem ipsum text is...

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 10:29 PM PST

    I don't understand why this is such a recurring theme with many of my clients.

    One of my clients just told me in the most annoying way that "there is too much text" for a product description that he hasn't given me yet. He said this to me like I'm an idiot and I'm honestly heated enough that I'm thinking of firing him. Like just read the text you dummy, you will see that it is nonsense I put there until you send me a description.

    How dumb can you be to not instantly understand what it is? Like seriously I think I was in my young teens when I saw lorem ipsum for the first time and it took me a few moments to realize "oh ok this is placeholder text".

    I'm sorry for this thread but I'm so annoyed at how this client spoke to me like I was a complete idiot who mistakenly had random text on his product. Ugh.

    To all the experts wondering why people still use float... how else do you wrap text around an image?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 03:57 PM PST

    If there's a better way to do it please let me know.

    Or maybe when people say this they are referring to using floats for layout purposes.

    From Pizza to Web Development: Transitioning from the Service Industry to the World of Programming

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 08:09 AM PST

    Hello, all! I am a new programmer currently learning Full-stack MERN development through a bootcamp in Houston, TX. Coding has been a hobby of mine since I was young (tinkering with MySpace layouts and basic HTML/CSS) and have since rekindled my passion, in the hopes of making a career for myself in the field. I am twenty-five - with a GED and no higher learning background - and have only worked minimum-wage jobs, both in the past and at present. Currently I am a delivery driver for Domino's and, knowing that I don't want to do this for the rest of my life, I have begun the arduous process of honing my skills as a Web Developer.

    What set me back on the path of coding was when a long-time friend of mine went through a camp and recently (within the past year) got hired on at a consulting agency. After his consistent nagging finally got the better of me I asked him to "show me the ropes", if you will, since I hadn't so much as written an anchor tag since 2009. Almost immediately I found myself enamored with the act of coding, as well as the process, and started watching some beginner-level HTML5/CSS3 YouTube tutorials.

    Though I had seen some rather negative - though albeit dated - reviews for Trilogy Education bootcamps, I signed up for one and haven't looked back. My instructor is engaging, the TAs are helpful and, despite some frustration here and there, I'm very much enjoying the experience thus far. I am now a month-and-some-change into my cohort and am beginning to work with Career Services to build a personal brand and grow my visibility. My main concern is: With my background (or lack thereof) I am confused on how to leverage any of my past or current work experience on a technical resume, if I should even include it whatsoever, as well as the feeling of worry that my lack of actual professional experience will be a hurdle too high for me to overcome.

    I've begun looking into writing a personal brand statement - which doesn't seem too difficult as I am, at least, somewhat competent at writing - but building a resume is something that I have never done and, as such, feel I'm in a little over my head when it comes to writing one from the standpoint of a Web Developer.

    I suppose my real questions are: With a background in fast-food and other minimum-wage jobs, as well as a lack of formal education, what should I/could I put as work experience on a resume? Will this be a detriment to me going forward? I'm just a little lost and trying in earnest to not get disheartened before I've even actually begun any sort of job search.

    I eat, sleep and breathe code as of late (bought a copy of Eloquent JavaScript and listen to code podcasts daily) and I want nothing more than to continue to learn and hone my skills as well as begin a fulfilling/successful career in Web Development/Software Engineering. I welcome any - and all - feedback and answers. Thank you!

    ​

    TLDR: Noob programmer with no higher education, trying to escape the world of pizza-delivery, looking for advice on building a technical resume.

    Implementing a calendar for my school project.

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 03:19 PM PST

    So for some background I am developing an online booking system, for A level Computer Science, and have created the basic parts such as a login/sign-up system etc.

    A requirement that I have is that I need to include a calendar which displays all current bookings by month. However I have no idea how to start. It would obviously need to connect to the database to display current bookings. So far I have used HTML and CSS (and PHP and SQL for the database side).

    I am looking to use pure JavaScript for the calendar (I don't really know much about frameworks ).

    Any suggestions for what to look into would be appreciated.

    Is there a lightweight version of font awesome 3?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 02:50 PM PST

    Google page speed keeps nagging about font awesome size even though I am using cdn, the minified version css, I need couple icons like facebook twitter, whatsapp, is there a light version? I don't want to readd and restyle the icons, it would be awesome if I can find a lighter version of font awesome 3 or extract the icons i need from font awesome 3.

    How soon is too soon to leave a heinous job?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 04:08 PM PST

    I worked in UX for eight years after my masters before I decided I wanted to take the plunge and get into Frontend development. I went through an amazing 7-month bootcamp last year, graduated in August, worked as a contractor til November, and then started my current full time job.

    I am downright impressed at how quickly this turned from the most exciting prospect of my life to almost walking out the door within the first month. I absolutely love the technical work, but I hate the environment. Usually I have a honeymoon period for at least six months before I start to feel jaded in a job, and I've never been so miserable in a job as I already am now.

    It's a startup style team within a medium sized non-tech company building software for our internal peeps with an intention to sell to other companies in the same industry. All eight of us are developers, and I'm the only person with a background in anything other than development. The boss is so busy he is hardly ever around, I had zero onboarding (no intro to the code base, tech stack, people's roles, industry knowledge. Nothing). I have no meetings other than a short daily stand up where each of us talks about what we'll do that day. What we do that day is pretty much decided for ourselves amongst the fires going on at all times, it's a total free for all where everyone just fixes bugs as they arise with no sense of the overall picture, user needs, good design, etc. There is literally no plan whatsoever, we're forcing totally incomplete and buggy software on unwilling users, there's always a ton more to do with no direction/focus, no celebration of what we have done, and the vast amount of things not done being held over our heads.

    This is a minor situation, but another example of culture- I had lunch plans with a friend who has been struggling with addiction and is tough to get to agree to plans. My boss pressured me to cancel my plan for a meeting about yet another daily fire. I cancelled, waited around, and the meeting never happened. Somehow it made me so angry, I felt like walking out again. There is zero sense of employee experience/wellbeing, just a constant sense of emergency and disorganization.

    Prior to this job, I had mainly short stints, mostly as a contractor but sometimes as an FTE. Never been at a place more than two years. Given that, and the fact I only have about three months in each of my first two dev jobs, I'm super stressed that leaving this place before I get a year or so in will mess up my career. I am definitely learning a ton from all the crazy shit I've had to do so far, and it's actually leveled as a Senior Engineer job, and it pays ridiculously well. But I really value collaboration, positive culture, and some structure/direction. I'd take a job for half the pay for a good environment (I know every place has its pain points, so within reason of course).

    Looking for some advice to help me decide where to go from here. Try to care less and stick it out, or immediately look elsewhere for a better quality of life? And if the latter, what are my chances with having two three-month stints as my total professional dev experience?

    Thanks guys.

    Best Apollo Client/GraphQL Tutorial?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 04:07 PM PST

    Besides the official docs. I've gone through the official "getting started" tutorials but would like some supplementary materials.

    I've been tasked with building a front-end app that doesn't really need to use a graphQL backend (or much of a backend at all beyond one REST api call to fetch the initial data and one to save). I still need to use React/Apollo/GraphQL to be uniform with my company's other front-end apps. I'm familiar with React but we used to use Redux last time I had to do major work with React, I'm new to Apollo and GraphQL. Any articles/videos/tips are appreciated.

    What are some other good sources to learn more about backend now that I'm finished my Udemy course?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 03:38 PM PST

    I'm wrapping up the Web Development course on Udemy by Colt Steele. The html and css stuff was incredibly easy of course. javascript took more effort but he did a good job of really hammering it in. i did have to do my own research on ES6, because i felt like it was important to keep up with the times. plus before i started the course i did a little bit on codecademy and they use ES6, for example implementing arrow functions and what not. anyways, even though i felt like i was really understanding the backend stuff in the course, it felt super rushed, so i can tell that now that im nearing the end, i don't know if i'll be able to implement it into my own project. maybe if i go back and reference it a bunch perhaps, but i dunno. maybe that's the point? referencing it and slowly hammering it in on my own? i just feel like i need a lot more practice with it. to be clear to those who dont know that course, for backend we are using Nodejs with Mongodb, Express, and Mongoose. anyways, perhaps there's a good website for learning more backend, or is there maybe a decent Udemy course i just haven't come across? im also open to trying to learn something different for backend as well if you think that's a better idea. like a framework perhaps. or maybe a different language. i hear python with django is quite popular for backend. anyways what or your thoughts and/or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Are there any podcasts out there that survey web development technologies to help you become more conversational?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 04:54 AM PST

    I'm a front end dev working most in react and I find it had to keep up with conversations with some of my colleagues because I feel like the landscape is so vast.

    I don't necessarily need to know exactly how every technology works, but I think it'd be awesome if there was a resource where each episode introduced a technology, who made it, and its use cases. For example, an episode on Go. Or, an episode on NoSQL. Relatively high level info. Does anything like this exist?

    what ever happened to 62.5 % trick?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 02:12 PM PST

    Back in the day, I'd declare my font-size to be 62.5%, which would effectively make 1em=10px, (provided you didn't change the default browser text size)which was super easy to develop with. I'm mostly back-end these days, so I'm puzzled why I don't see more of this approach? Bring me up to speed fam!

    How would you find URLs of a website that has been discontinued?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 10:19 AM PST

    I'm trying to find the thousands and thousands of URLs of a website that has been taken down.

    Is there an automated process that simulates Archive.org outcome?

    P.s. I don't know the exact URLs, I just need to find all pages that were published from that domain back when it was live.

    Thanks so much in advance

    EDIT: I have sorted through this fantastic tutorial. Thought I'd share it in case someone needs it.

    Web dev architecture

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 01:56 PM PST

    Hello, do you guys have resources on how to move from programming to the architectual aspect of web development. I've googled around but tbh what i found is a bit confusing, so if there's a step by step guide or resources in an incremental -level of difficulty it would be great.

    On another note, I've been looking for an implementation of mv* patterns in vanilla js but couldnt find any so I appreciate any help with that.

    Cheers.

    Is Source.unsplash.com not working?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 01:23 PM PST

    I have been using source unsplash for years and recently I noticed that I no longer can't get photos using their url. I don't know if something took place or they changed how unsplash works.

    EDIT:

    I found why it is happening, I was using chrome extension privacy badger and it was blocking sending request to get the images from images.unsplash.com and source.unsplash.com . If this is happening to you and make sure you add this domains to ignore list.

    Following up on a interview

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 11:19 AM PST

    I had an in person technical interview last week. Overall it went good I'd say. They said last week that they would contact me this week. I haven't heard anything yet. I'm wondering if I don't hear back by tomorrow afternoon, if I should send a follow up e-mail to them? If I should what should I say?

    I can't call because I don't have their numbers, and the company is brand new and doesn't have a landline set up yet.

    Thanks all!

    Elements inside a parent element w/ a set height and a scrollbar not visible when scrolled to on apple devices - help!

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 10:43 AM PST

    I am working on a vue website with a bug that only affects apple devices. It is affecting a messaging/conversation div ("#conversation) where a conversation is loaded from the most recently sent message. Therefore, if there is a long conversation between users, the #conversation div will be scrolled to the bottom automatically and the user will have to scroll up to see previously sent messages that go beyond the height of the window.

    On apple devices, only what is initially seen on screen appears within the #conversation div, which means scrolling up will just show blank space. I only have the ability to test on an iPad but when inspecting the elements in the #conversation div the markup is all there, it's just that the elements themselves are completely invisible.I found that if I removed and re-added the css height value for #conversation in the inspector that the messages would appear, but only at wherever the div was scrolled to. After observing this, my thinking was that I could add an onscroll function to #conversations that would re-add the height value every time the element was scrolled to mimic this action, but this proved unsuccessful.

    I've added screenshots below to illustrate the problem (please disregard the words, they are from an eminem song).

    https://i.stack.imgur.com/jn7QS.png https://i.stack.imgur.com/zlEDC.png https://i.stack.imgur.com/Pct9q.jpg

    I also tried this solution by adding a -webkit-transform value to the element and setting it to position:fixed but neither yielded results. Furthermore, this issue affects browsers other than safari on apple devices. Honestly I spent a lot of time adding and removing css values ad nauseam to the #conversation div and child elements but nothing is fixing the problem.
