| Any devs 50+ of age? What's you story? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 03:15 PM PDT So I've been thinking about my future, I really like programming but I don't see myself coding everyday at that age, do you guys still get your hand on code daily? Or it's natural move to a manager role? And do you role ask from you to keep to newer tech/language or is it more coding from a 'older' language(I'm from the Ruby on Rails side) I stopped to think about it and I really don't know any programmer with more than 50 years. Just curious and kinda already thinking in long term. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Back in 2012 I almost worked with the worst client in history..."Tiger King" AKA Joe Exotic Posted: 21 Mar 2020 10:05 AM PDT Screenshot of our short email correspondence: https://i.imgur.com/MHx1PKJ.pngI had just graduated college and I was looking for a job. I found an ad on Craigslist and responded to it. At that point I had no idea who Joe Exotic was. The ad was somewhat vague in terms of the roles for the job position and the company itself. I remember it was basically just asking for a Web Designer for a private zoo in Oklahoma. He asked if I'd be okay with moving on-site to the zoo and I was thinking...fuck yes! I love animals and moving out to a new place and living at a zoo sounded amazing. But I immediately thought, I better check this guy out and see what his business looks like. Googled him and right off the bat there were news articles about animal abuse and all sorts of bad things. I decided to skip on the job and just stopped replying. Fast forward to 2018 and he's been accused and convicted of attempting to hire someone to kill a competitor of his. Joe Exotic is a fascinating character. He's an exotic zoo animal owner, he's gay, he's a redneck, and was ahead of his time in a lot of ways. The only reason I thought to bring this up is because Netflix just came out with a 7-episode show about him and some other exotic zoo owners. I've watched the whole thing and let me tell you, it is some crazy shit. It's called the "Tiger King" if anyone wants to watch. Here's some videos to give you an idea of what Joe is/was about: Tiger King trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acTdxsoa428 Joe Exotic for President 2016 campaign ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc-_7RCFArM Joe's wedding to 2 other guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t47FzF0knOc Joe's music video about the competitor he tried have killed (made before all that went down)...and his theory that she killed her rich husband (addressed in the Netflix doc): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCgz9915wHw [link] [comments]  | ||
| Why do developers keep setting aria-hidden on really important page elements? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:15 AM PDT As a screen-reader user, I run into this issue a lot and I want to understand why people do this. When you set aria-hidden to true on an element, it stays visible but hides itself from the accessibility API. In plain English, you're telling the browser to hide this from anyone who uses (and probably relies on) a screen-reader even though it's still visually there. People misuse this ALL the time. The other day I was on a website for a huge company trying to manage the account, and one of the popups asking for information had aria-hidden set to true. This effectively meant I couldn't access it to enter the information, and I couldn't interact with any part of the page until that information had been entered. I did get it to work, but I had to run code in the console to change the hidden attribute (something which you'd basically have to be a web developer to know how to do.) When I brought this up with a few people later, I found out it was really common. I even bookmarked a tweet recently that gives a clever line I can paste into the console to undo all of the incorrect aria-hiddens. So, has anyone consciously done this on an element that a screen-reader user should really be able to access? What was the reasoning behind it? I'd like to make more posts in here highlighting good accessibility work and providing some tips for fixing common mistakes (which this seems to be.) Thanks for reading! [link] [comments]  | ||

| I feel like a fraud and I'm in over my head. Posted: 21 Mar 2020 02:09 PM PDT Not too long ago I decided to quit my job and start my own company. I knew it was risky and I knew things usually don't pan out but I'm still young so what the hell. I might as well give it a shot. I thought the odds were slightly more in my favor as I had an experienced business partner that would help fill in the knowledge gaps and provide both development and business support. Well, that didn't end up happening... We signed on a bigger client, definitely outside my scope, skill level. This was initially a great thing. The project was scoped at X hours, some of the requirements were a little fuzzy to me but I placed confidence in my business partner as this was his area of expertise. It was basically an easy win with the expectation of future work after delivery. As work started on the project I was focusing more on frontend and he would focus more on the backend. As I'm building out the UI I kept running into the same problems. I would essentially be guessing at how the data would be modeled, what the API responses would look like and the expected behavior. Normally, I would plan this out a lot before even starting work. But during the requirements phase and planning, a lot of things were deferred or little effort was put in despite my attempts to put a plan together. Well, it didn't take long before I had to start rebuilding certain parts of the frontend as some parts of the backend were built out. Essentially I would guess, share how I thought the responses would look only to find out they needed to change. Meetings would get missed or postponed. No work was getting being pushed through on the backend. Looking back, I've put in hundreds of hours, while my business partner has put in maybe 20 hours. Needless to say, things weren't working. I started pulling more hours from 55 a week to 85-90 hour weeks. I've had to set up the entire backend which was an insane more amount of work than was scoped, all with a DB I've never worked with before. Getting help has been difficult, one of the guys I hired on wasn't necessarily skilled enough, but was driven and really put effort into everything. He's recently become sick, hopefully not with COVID-19. I really hope he gets well soon. Now it's pretty much just me scrambling to meet this deadline. I 've been working around the clock only to find more bugs, have to do more feature rollbacks, and ultimately create what I feel will be a disappointing product. A lot of this is my business partner's fault, I've put everything into this company. But honestly, I can't believe I even let things degrade this much. And that's on me. There has been so much more work due to lack of planning, writing clean code, and the use of best practices. I'm embarrassed of the code I've had to write because of having to rush and get things to the finish line and I'm not even there yet... I feel like a failure and a fraud. TL;DR I started a business with a bad business partner and took on a project without enough planning and foresight. Now I'm working twice as hard to meet a deadline that I'll most likely miss with a crappy product. I feel like a fraud because IMO these mistakes could have been avoided. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Suggestions on tools I can use to build a professional/ portfolio website Posted: 21 Mar 2020 05:48 PM PDT Hello all, I'm a recently graduat with a degree in game development and wanted to make a website to showcase my games. I use Squarespace right now and I've also tried Wix but I just don't like the way you edit websites on those services. I'd rather give it a shot at making my own. It's a professional website I want to dedicate to showcasing my games and side projects. I don't have a lot of web development experience but I do have programming experience my degree was mostly programming with elements of game design. I was wondering if there are any tools I can use to make the process a lot smoother I'm hoping to have my website mainly work on any computer and hopefully make it viewable on mobile devices afterwards. I think it would be nearly impossible for me to make one from complete scratch since this isn't really my element this is to showcase my game development skills not web design skills. Any advice helps! P.S. If possible also some tools on creating a blog would be much appreciated. I host one on my Squarespace website but it's really jank I want to see if I can make a better one [link] [comments]  | ||
| Object giving pages left and bottom margin, cannot find a fix. Posted: 21 Mar 2020 10:05 AM PDT I'm using react and I can't for the life of me find out why I still have a margin on the left and bottom of the page. I've tried setting html, body, and * margins and padding to 0 with !important, doesn't do anything. I tried going through each component and adding display none to see if it goes away. I've tried going through and changing the margins, padding's, and left/right and bottom on elements. Nothing is getting rid of these margins. Idk why and idk why there isn't one on the right side. Feeling hopeless because I feel like it should be simple. What else can I try? [link] [comments]  | ||
| How do I cap bandwidth usage on a VPS? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 05:28 PM PDT Hello! I'm sorry this has been asked a lot on the Internet, but I can't seem to find a simple recipe... probably because it's not that simple, I know. I like building personal projects with DigitalOcean, and though my monthly uniques have consistently been between 0 and 1, I always fear the day I get slashdotted (or whatever is called today). Now, even if that happened I would most likely never burn through 1TB of traffic... but still, I'd like to know if there is a nice script, Ubuntu package, or whatever it may be that blocks all traffic whenever that limit has been reached. This should basically have just two arguments: the monthly transfer cap, and the beginning of the monthly cycle. I know I can set billing alerts (done that), and that this would be a rude way to treat those uniques other than me :) Has anybody around here put together something to cap bandwidth usage? Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Is the 'You Don't Know Javascript' book series still relevant? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 05:18 PM PDT So I've been a Front End Developer for about 5 years now and working as a react native developer for the last year. I have a good grasp on JS, but could definitely know more of 'why' we do the things that we do. I was looking at getting the entire series to read in my spare time to keep on top of the game but it seems that they're all pretty old. Would these books be considered out dated now, or still relevant? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Any devs hopeful during a recession? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 05:02 PM PDT With the virus here, figured there may be layoffs that have happened or may be coming. Checked out a few job sites today (LinkedIn, Indeed), looks like there's still plenty of development jobs posted even in the last 24 hours. You guys afraid of layoffs or the job market? Or if you're an experienced dev, will it matter? [link] [comments]  | ||

| I never worked 8 hours a day. Did you? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 04:07 PM PDT I never really worked 8 hours a day. How about you all? I am a self employed web developer since age of 21, it been 12 years now. I work for the biggest companies in Europe and earn a good amount of money. Most of the time I am in fulltime projects (by recruiting companies) and work from home. I am wondering how you guys are working? I read once that in a brain focused job no one really is able to perform good after 3, maybe 4 hours. Thing is, I found this absolutely to be true in development. Most of my career I worked like 3 hours a day. I was never a friend of spreading my work over 8 hours. I started working with pomodoro method some time ago, which brought me more to 2-3 hours a day of concentrated work. The feedback I get mostly is, that I am way „faster" than the average developer. What is your type of working? Do you spread your workload over 8 hours or concentrate on getting things done fast? Or do you really need that 8 hours? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Could you recommend any tool that a backend developer could use to quickly prototype a frontend? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 04:06 PM PDT Hello. I'm an experienced backend developer and my work usually involves prototyping quick solutions that require both backend and frontend. I can deal with the backend with no problem, however the frontend is causing a lot of issues since I'm neither very experienced and I don't like it. I'd like to know if you guys use any tool that has a visual editor (drag & drop, edit) that I can use to quickly prototype a website. By prototyping I mean I want to be free to create it as I like, set colors, margins and so on and then quickly export it to HTML+CSS. I'm not interested in advanced graphics or animations (for which things like Wix exist), but more like something that I can quickly use to set up a working frontend. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 21 Mar 2020 04:03 PM PDT Hi all, I've been learning Postgres and Flask this last year. I am also a little familiar with Python scripting in general. I like to think I have an eye for design, but I don't have much skill with HTML/CSS/JS yet. Here's my question: how can I start to pick up some moonlighting gigs in my small/mid size town? Or remotely (I know that's the holy grail :) Do I need to get more front end knowledge, so that I can offer to build more of the "full package" sites that small business owners might want? Or is it likely that there are small web design shops that would need some help with some database or backend support? Many thanks for any noob tips! [link] [comments]  | ||

| How to manage & model user permissions? (Node.js / Express / SQLite) Posted: 21 Mar 2020 03:47 PM PDT Hi all, So I'm building a web application that allows users to login, view content they have access to, modify data they are allowed to modify etc. For the purposes of this question, think of it analogous to Netflix or Plex. How best do I implement this system? (Not in terms of authenticating that the user is who they say they are). I was thinking about essentially modelling it after the Unix users & groups system, I'm just not sure if that would eventually become too messy even if it's simple. No idea what the alternative is though in the first place. And following on from that, how should I implement whatever system I go with? I.e create my own system from scratch, or is there a library / framework you can recommend? I found this, Access Control but it doesn't seem ideal for persistent data (I will need to store the permissions in my applications database or alternatively a permissions file), in fact I can't see a mention of how to save the current permissions on the page? (Am I misunderstanding how the library works?) Here's an example of what I might need to do: (JS / Pseudocode) With the approach above I would make every piece of data that should be gated behind permissions an extension of the Cheers.
