    Becoming a Software Dev Without a CS Degree

    Posted: 16 Mar 2020 07:46 AM PDT

    A couple months back, I asked a question on Twitter:

    If you work as a developer and don't have a college degree, I'd love to hear the story of how you got your first job! What convinced employers to take a chance on you?

    Somewhat amazingly, the tweet got hundreds of replies! So many people shared their stories.

    Twitter does not make it easy to read hundreds of replies, and many were off-topic / too vague to help. I wanted to create an article that would summarize high-level takeaways and highlight individual stories. This is that article!

    https://joshwcomeau.com/career/no-cs-degree-required/

    For those who are trying to get their start without a CS degree, I hope this helps!

    Programming's most redundant question.

    Posted: 17 Mar 2020 01:42 AM PDT

    Hey guys!

    Here I am about to ask the most redundant question in the world of programming, but here I am actually hoping for some advice.

    I signed up for Software Engineering course in my city with JavaScript. I love everything about coding, its been around 6-7 months since I started. First time I'm getting into programming, but I know this is my thing, it feels natural for everything.

    The thing is I do not want to be a front-end developer. I hate everything HTML & CSS related. I like JS and all the frameworks(although I have used none, we just finished everything vanilla JS). So I passed the fundamentals of programming and a JS Advanced course and I think a have good grip on basic(very basic) work for frond-end if I need it.

    Now I think about switching to C#. I think I wanna learn a strictly typed language, I wanna learn OOP, since I feel its gonna help be better as a upcoming developer. I am not sure event what back-end devs do, but I'm pretty sure I do not want to deal with front-end.

    I know a lot of people say that when you start learning one language its better to stick with it to the end and master it, so that other languages become easier to learn. The idea that I get is, once you develop the programmers mind, you are good to go with any language and the switch is easy. This is why I'm uncertain on whether or not I should switch. If I continue on JS path, my upcoming courses include React, Angular, Vue, Node. I feel like these frameworks, could be learned by Online tutorials if I ever need them.

    TL;DR: I'm learning JS the last 6-7 months, however I don't want to do front-end. Should I switch to C# or should I carry out JS to the end and then consider learning another language ?

    Thanks

    How do image databases get queried?

    Posted: 17 Mar 2020 01:41 AM PDT

    Let's say you have a missing childrens db with hundreds of thousands of photos, and you want to query those photos with one that a user uploads. How would something like this work? Do you compare one by one until you find an image that has a greater than 90% match?

    Limit REST post of objects

    Posted: 17 Mar 2020 01:41 AM PDT

    What's the best way to limit the creation of e.g. Posts of a user in a REST api. Are there any articles about that? I'm not (only) talking about rate limiting in general, but entity aware rate limiting (max 100 POST on /comment) per day.

    Do I have to introduce redis besides postgres and keep entries per user/entity/timeframe?

    The Corona virus keeps me at home all day. That's why I would like to organize the Stay Home Hackathon. Is there any interest?

    Posted: 16 Mar 2020 01:09 PM PDT

    Hi guys

    Like probably many of you, I spend a lot of time at home because of the Corona virus. The situation in my country (Switzerland) seems to get worse every day, a few hours ago the government even closed all restaurants, cinemas, bars, etc. I try to keep my social contacts to a minimum to prevent further infections.

    A year ago I started programming. Therefore I had the idea for the Stay Home Hackathon. The hackathon is to stop us from going out this weekend. However, it's meant to help us meet new people, learn new skills and maybe even improve the situation a little bit.

    I have written down all information in the following document and will keep it updated. I would be very happy if some of you would join. I am a beginner myself and everyone is welcome. I think this a opportunity to work in a small team for the first time.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-VWT-FAg0RTuzlv4b5Qi2zH8b-yl8POfIgG7_iSKZ5I/edit?usp=sharing

    Stay home and stay safe

    Pair programming advice

    Posted: 16 Mar 2020 09:50 PM PDT

    Hi there folks,I recently got started with web development using MERN stack. Had a few ideas in my mind to create websites as side projects.

    Recently came across a few blogs where the benefits of pair programming were mentioned and that got me interested in the same. Would you guys recommend developing the websites solo or with a partner? And if so,it would be great if someone could link to a place where I can find people to do pair programming with.

    Thanks a lot and have a nice day!

    Dynamic user content in Android/Kotlin?

    Posted: 17 Mar 2020 01:11 AM PDT

    Hi, I'm very stuck. I want to learn how to program actions that a user can take to create specific content. For example, say you have an app where users can create shapes. How would one go about writing the code that handles the user selecting the type of shape they want, and then generating that shape?

    What I'd really like is for someone to help me with the language and terminology used here. I'm self-teaching, and I've been looking around for a day now on where to learn this content but I have no idea what search terms to use.

    Best way to store and retrieve images.

    Posted: 17 Mar 2020 12:53 AM PDT

    project stack: Express, Mogoose, EJS templates

    Hi, I have a project which is an online Restaurant menu, the owner can add items to his menu. I want to add the functionality for them to upload a image of the item too along with other details. I don't want to do this locally as I will deploy the app to heroku and I believe they do not allow that. Is there an easy way to send the uploaded file somewhere and get the url which ill store in my db, and can display it to the user on demand in the cart and anywhere needed. this is not the most efficient method but I'm going for ease right now. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you.

    I'm working on a program in C++ and I'm getting some really bizarre errors.
