    25 years in and I still have Imposter Syndrome

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 01:03 PM PDT

    I've been working solo or on very small teams inside of marketing departments over the course of my career, and have always been trying to be part of a larger team and failing.

    I just failed a live coding interview for what feels like the hundredth time. I have literally never passed one, despite working in the field for two decades now. Got quizzed inside of React, which I have built like 2 apps in ever, and they expected me to have a "senior dev level of experience" whatever that means to them. To me that means I know how to launch on time and pick up whatever tools they are using. To them I guess it means knowing React front to back even though there's been no business reason for me to do more than lightly teach it to myself.

    So I'm feeling a little stuck. I evidently can't write a line of code anyone else likes to look at despite having launched hundreds of sites, several of which you have likely visited. And as a result, they won't put me in charge of a team even though I've been a department head several times in the past (in a department of one).

    I don't feel entitled to anything, to be clear. I just don't know how to pass a live coding interview because no one, in the course of my work, has ever asked me to write code live.

    I mostly just came here to rant and I expect this will just float to the bottom for its lack of uniqueness, but if anyone has any tips on how to get better at live coding, I am all ears. I am pretty disappointed in myself but that's a good motivator to keep working at it.

    Unpopular opinions

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 02:25 AM PDT

    What opinions do you hold about the world of web dev that you would consider unpopular with other developers? What technologies are cargo cults? What adds unnecessary complication to a project? What tech do you just plain dislike?

    It's Monday so lets all have a vent :)

    The Social Security Website (ssa.gov) shuts down every night. Maybe for maintenance, but I think it's so the developers don't get paged in the middle of the night for outages/security breaches. What are your thoughts?

    Web Based File Browser

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 02:39 PM PDT

    I want to create a web interface for a utlity program that I wrote for personal use, that allows me to create directories from templates, tag folders and documents with common topics and all that good orga stuff.

    Right now I can access all the functionality through a CLI on my laptop, but it'd obviously be awesome if I could host my application somewhere else aswell and access it through a nice web interface and do my orga on my phone or on the desktop.

    So when researching and thinking about the implementation of such an interface, I immediately thought of WebDAV, since that's literally what it's meant to do: allow for file system access and manipulation over HTTP.

    But there surely must be a project out there, that already implemented this kind of functionality with somewhat modern technologies (such as react, a material ui, electronjs, wasm, ...). So does anyone know of such a project? A web based, maybe even nicely in modular components wrapped, WebDAV based file browser?

    If not, I'm happy to give it a try myself

    Looking for someone to mentor/discuss web hooks.

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 04:24 PM PDT

    So not sure if this sort of thing is permitted and if not please feel free to let me know.

    I'm a self taught hobbyist programmer who basically puts together applications and tools for whatever projects I'm working on. I've managed to teach myself a lot of .net, html, java, css, JavaScript, AWS and xml. So that should give you the idea that I'm not here looking for a teacher.

    For one of my most recent projects I've got the idea that webhooks could improve over the transfer of information in real time. However in several occasions I've looked into articles, guides and tutorials and I've always ended up confused or unable to visualise exactly how to implement it.

    So I'm looking for someone who'd be call with giving me their contact details and being able to chat and answer questions and help point me in the right direction. If you think you could help please let me know and I'll send you a DM or something.

    Beware! Chrome is rolling out a new cookie policy

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 04:16 PM PDT

    TL:DR: Update your Restfull API services by setting SameSite property if it's not already set.

    This morning I wanted to log in into my app that uses an external API server, and cookies were not set and I was 100% certain that backend and frontend were untouched from yesterday when everything was working like a charm. Apparently the problem is caused by a new update on cookie policy that is coming to Chrome and it's enabled only for some users.

    With a new update, if SameSite property is not set at the backend, Chrome is treating it as type Lax which not allows setting a cookie from an external source. It is possible to disable that option in chrome://flags for the testing purposes, the real solution is to set SameSite=None on the backend to allow cookies from third-party sources.

    Question for all the indies out there. Is it "easy" to find missions?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 01:51 PM PDT

    Hi, I am a junior web dev, mostly front. I'll soon graduate from my engineer school and I already have 3 years of react and JS behind me. I ve already worked for big companies as a front developer during my internships and my dream would be to work from anywhere in the world whenever I want. Some say it s easy to find missions others say it s hard when you don't have the network to get in touch with companies and so on... So I would like some intel on this and what are the best ways to find missions. Thank you!

    CVE-2019-17004—Semi Universal XSS affecting Firefox, Cliqz, Brave on iOS

    What are the tools that are used for web design?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 08:12 AM PDT

    I know that knowing HTML/CSS is a must but I find it time consuming to create even the basic website layouts even when using libraries like bootstrap. Should I just keep practicing that way or do web developers usually use some tools along with their knowledge to help make it less time consuming?

    Edit: I'm talking about the UI/UX part only

    (wordpress) How to check user before all actions and filters?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 01:44 PM PDT

    I am working on a plugin with 100+ actions and filters. All actions and filters only apply to users with a specific user meta. I want to check this user meta before everything. How can I do this? A simple check like get_current_user_id does not work before 'init'.

    I could check this inside very single action and filter function, but that seems very very inefficient and a lot of unnecessary code.

    Anyone knows how I could do it? Thanks

    Storing user passwords - AWS KMS / vault?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 11:31 AM PDT

    Hello. For my webapp I need to store user passwords (I'd rather not, but I pick my battles). I'm a good boy so I know that I should store their hashed / KDF'ed values. But I was wondering: nowadays Vault and KMS are ubiquitous. Are they of any use for this purpose? Thanks.

    What am I looking at in cost???

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 05:25 PM PDT

    I made a simple website using (don't laugh) MS Word. It is a total of 6 pages.

    Before I start asking around and wasting people's time... I need an opinion on what my probable cost will be... if I have someone add a small project to my website.

    I do not want to violate the community rules... as it relates to solicitation. Please feel free to direct me to a subreddit, where I can solicit work to be done. For now.. I just need to know what I am looking at in cost.

    The work I need done...

    • My website is used to connect a very small niche market of people looking for leaders of home groups and other larger organizations.
    • I need to allow private members to be able to create a username and password
    • I need these members to be able to create a profile where they answer a few questions about their organization... lets say about 12 to 14 fields...
    • When the members answer these questions it generates a database that any outside users can query and find the leaders of these organizations.
    • Outside users of my website would be able filter a query that relates to certain aspects of the database... such as locations, zip code... etc.
    • I do not need this to be a fancy design. Like I said... I used MS Word to create this webpage. No animation... I just need the website to spit out the data so non members can find information generated in the database.

    And again... trying to stay within the community guidelines... just wondering what I should be looking for in a cost... not soliciting for work at this point.

    AND... if there is a subreddit devoted for solicitation... please just tell me where to go.

    ​

    THANKS!!!

    How to make an app walkthrough?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 11:12 AM PDT

    Hey,

    I participated in a remote hackathon recently and I noticed that soo many teams were able to create beautiful app-walk-through videos in a short time. So, I guess there must be a tool to create these videos quite fast.

    This is an example (I'm not related to this project - this is not an ad just an example): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8sKjavb0HY&feature=emb_title

    Which tools can I use to create such videos (that are not part of Adobe CC)?

    I also couldn't find any tutorials. I'm super helpful for all the advice.

    Thanks!

    Question about the SEO

Is this my fault or does it need more time. Sorry if this is super basic question and any other suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. Btw the site is https://www.universitybloodinitiative.org

    Best Language/Framework/Technologies for rapidly deploying data return webpages?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 12:57 PM PDT

    I have a need for being able to spin up a bunch of responsive webpages for desktop and mobile quickly that can return data to an azure sql database. These will all be different pages but ideally I'd keep them all in one top level domain for management. What is the best technology to do this? I'm not really on the cutting edge of what's out there, so I figured I'd ask. Ease of deployment/changes and management is most important to me. Any advice would be great. Thanks!
