| How do I get better at code reviews? How do I prevent bad code? How do you deal with bad coders? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:33 PM PDT Loaded question, I know. So, I had this developer on my team for a few months to help push out features for a new product and he has left me with some of the worst code I've ever seen. Since he left about 2 months ago, it's almost a daily occurrence that I find these horrible little Easter eggs of just bad logic. The bigger pieces he left us takes days to fix small things, like sort order of simple arrays. I work at company with a fairly high bar for talent, but he was borrowed from a team where they just build landing pages and simple stuff, no real logic or coding. I understand the difference in my code and someone else's code and it's not that. There are other people on the team and others outside the team have looked at it and everyone has agreed. How do I prevent this as a lead? How can I spot this quickly? The only way I can think to do it is to just parse every single line they write, but that's usually not a problem with almost everyone I've worked with throughout my career and it's ridiculously time consuming on top of the already time consuming task of making sure his code actually worked (which even after that it's still buggy as shit). I suppose the answer was that I should have just dropped the guy after I realized how bad he was and sent him back to the team we borrowed him from, but I had a lot of pressure from other departments to keep him on and producing features. I just want to figure out how to prevent this in the future because not only has it burned me out quite a bit, it makes me and my team look bad. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Deploying web services for hobby projects: weighing the options Posted: 16 Apr 2020 12:44 PM PDT Hi all, I'd love to know what do you guys deploy your hobby projects and what are the pros/cons of the platforms that you've tried. To be more specific, assume that I'm looking to expose a frontend, deploy a REST API, spin up a DB, etc. Ideally, I'd like to be able to configure my own Kubernetes cluster too. Note that I'm willing to spend money, but I obviously don't want to spend too much. And in case you are thinking that it sounds a bit too heavy for a hobby project, I just want to add that experimenting with the infrastructure is part of what I'm hoping to get out of this. I've dealt with these technologies at work, but I wouldn't say that I'm very knowledgeable in this area. I've used AWS and Heroku and I was considering a few other platforms such as GCP, Azure but also a few less known players such as Linode and DigitalOcean. I thought that Heroku was simple but limiting, whereas AWS was quite overwhelming and not that cheap. Can you share your experience working with these platforms? Can you recommend one? Is there anything in particular that I need to watch out for when I'm looking for a cloud provider? How much do you think I should be prepared to spend, roughly? Also, can you comment on the general distinction between the major players like AWS and GCP vs the boutique companies like Linode, because the smaller ones seem to be cheaper but I suspect there's gotta be a catch? Many thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| I have a database of over 2000 companies that don't have websites that I don't know what to do with. Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:55 PM PDT I originally was just going to cold call and ask if they need web development services, but that seems like a not-so-great idea. My ideal setup is obviously 1-2 long-term contracts. But that doesn't seem feasible from cold calling. I looked at the subscription model plan, but that's very niche. And that would take me more time -- to develop reusable software, etc. My last resort would be making static websites or one-off projects. I don't want to do this. Can anyone help?

| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 02:52 PM PDT I'm on the verge of burning out. I know I need to just sit back and read/watch videos to learn right now but I'm not even sure where to look. My background:
Now I'm trying to create my capstone/thesis project. I'm trying to create a game (in the spirit of social distancing) utilizing React, Webrtc, and Sessions. The ELI5 would be a video chat (for 3-5 people), with some buttons on the side to play a simple game together. The backend: I have a small vps with ubuntu 18 lts running nginx, with a reverse proxy to my node server. The node server is using passport(local), mongoose, helmet(default + self srcs only) and that's basically it. The frontend: React. That's kind of all I have so far. I'm using React and axios to contact the api routes on my backend. I learned about sessions from FCC but that doesn't seem to be very helpful for react/axios. I'm thinking react router plus routes in the backend could mimic a normal html website and make sessions viable? I'm really not sure anymore. I'm having a problem understanding how I will manage the game state with React. I've tried Redux with Thunk to manage the global state but I ran into problems with types, and without learning Typescript and adding that, I couldn't see a way forward. So I backed up, I would like to use as few packages as possible. But I also want to have my project done sometime this year. Any help is appreciated. I hope you're all staying safe. Thank you. edit: I just wanted to add that i have been attempting to use functional React and hooks. I'd like to avoid learning 3 versions of react... [link] [comments]  | ||

| I am 15 and I want to learn web development but I have a question Posted: 16 Apr 2020 08:50 AM PDT I have been programming like 4 months ago for a few weeks when I learned the fundamentals in python and did some easy basic projects.Than one week ago I get back into programming and I learn a little bit of html and css from freecodecamp to see if I like it and I finished the responsive web design.Now I bought the Zero to mastery web development course and want to get more into web development. But do I need to take a computer science course like cs50 before getting more into web development? Keep in mind that I still want to go to a CS colleague. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Should I learn a js framework (react) Posted: 16 Apr 2020 08:19 AM PDT So seeing as we have this pandemic thing and I haven't left my house I've been doing a lot of learning. One thing that has always been on my mind to learn is a js framework like react. I'm very proficient in js and idk if it would really help a lot. Any input is highly appreciated Edit: I should probably say, the only reason I have doubts about learning it is because I don't see how react would help me if I already know js [link] [comments]  | ||

| How do I allow users to upload photos to a form using a mobile device (android)? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 02:46 PM PDT So I have spent the last couple weeks building a project for a client of mine and I am now faced with a major issue that seems to be rendering this whole project useless. I built a web application where the goal is to allow the user to take a picture with their phone, and upload it as a part of a form. I tried testing this on my android phone and I kept getting the error " Unable to complete previous operation due to low memory" which means that chrome ate up all of the RAM available and the upload failed. Tried playing with some settings in developer settings but with no success. So I tried installing firefox. Firefox seemed to work a little better but still not great. Apparently when android is doing something RAM heavy, it closes other apps and then reopens them when finished. This means, by the time the picture is uploaded, the page gets refreshed and the image is lost to the form. I cant find any solutions to this that are not less than a few years old. This seems like a pretty big drawback and there must be some way to get around this. TLDR: I have a form for users to upload a photo but android does not seem to have a good way to handle insufficient RAM during the upload. How do mobile users use a file input on a form?

| Changing licensing terms after purchase - opinions wanted Posted: 16 Apr 2020 02:06 PM PDT Hi everyone, I wanted to get opinions on an issue that I am dealing with regarding the licensing of a library. I am purposefully going to be vague about the company and the library, as I don't want to, in any way, shame them or imply they're shady, I'm merely posting this to see if I am way off base here. We purchased a perpetual license for a library 3+ years ago with a 1yr support package that entitles us to upgrades, then subsequently renewed support for a second year. The support lapsed in October 2018, and since the product we used the library for was in maintenance mode, we did not need to renew support since updates weren't a priority. When we purchased the library, a support package was optional but 'highly recommended'. We were heavily in development, so I thought that getting the support package was a good idea since a new major version was pending, and I wanted the new version. When we purchased the library, their website and receipt that was sent to me, said we are purchasing a perpetual license, and if we wanted to receive updates, we'd just need to purchase a 1yr support package that includes upgrades. Nowhere on the website, terms of use, or receipt did it say that there was a 'retroactive' charge for years that you did not pay for support. I looked at Archive.org and at the time of purchase, their current retroactive charge was not disclosed (it is disclosed now on their live site).. essentially, my suspicion is that they added this requirement after our purchase, and did not notify us regarding their terms of use change. We're in a pinch because there are some system changes that will require us to upgrade to this library's newest version. When I try to purchase a 1 year support package, so I can access the newest version of the library, their system is updating my shopping cart, forcing me to purchase 2+ years of support. I thought it was a bug in their cart, so I called the company, and the person I spoke to said "Oh, it's just retroactively charging you for the 1+ year that you didn't have support, to bring you up to date, then charging you for another year". I tried to explain to the person that this was not a requirement before, and of course he denied it, even though I pointed out the lack of disclosure of such policies on their archived website.. he essentially told me that "He'll have 'legal and finance' look into it".. this is a small company, I don't think they have a legal or finance department, but I digress... Anyway, I'm in a pickle because we do not have enough time to source a new library.. these pending changes are only weeks away, and we really don't have time to implement a new library. I've sent the company an email with all of my receipts, screenshots, correspondence and so on, and awaiting their response. I wanted to get opinions on this. Have any of you even heard of retroactively charging for support? I mean, if you think about it, this library is $1499USD to license, and $749/yr for support (a solid 50% price increase from 2 years ago I may add..). It's actually slightly cheaper for me to purchase a new license at $1499USD (without support), just to access the new version. The company is asking me to pay almost $1900USD just to get my support up to date, which will also give me the newest version. How does this make sense? I don't know guys, I've been in the development business for 21 years now, and I've never come across this... am I just lucky or is this completely out in left field? Asking for opinions here, I don't want jump the gun and get into an argument with them but I really feel something is off here.. Any opinions / advice would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Is sending form data to server preferable to query string parsing? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 12:32 PM PDT I am pretty new to web dev so I am trying to be as accurate as possible but I may get some of the terminology incorrect. I have a single page web app that, on load, connects to my Express server endpoints which make API calls (1 for weather, 1 for train schedule) and returns the response to the client, which then displays all the info to the user. The API calls use parameters sent from the client (two sets of coordinates for the weather, station ID for the train). The page loads, a Page object is created, and then an init method is called which is where the weather and train objects are created and the requests are sent. This all works as intended except the parameters are hard-coded and I want to get the parameters from the user on a previous page. Project is here: https://github.com/BlairCurrey/commute-dashboard I saw this stack overflow post which seems to answer my question but also seems to suggest I not use this solution if I can help it. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14693758/passing-form-data-to-another-html-page So either make query string from form, go to dashboard, parse from url, then send request, or I send form to server, ???, then send to client? request from client? I understand the steps to number 1 (I think) and I think it would require much less work. String is made, then parsed and then I just add the input as arguments when I create the Page object like I imagined. No refactoring required. However I think I should understand the second option better, especially if it is preferable. Would I need a database? How would I handle multiple requests otherwise? Are there other methods I am overlooking? Thoughts on using the query string instead? This isn't meant to actually be deployed wide scale but I do want it to reflect well on my ability.

| the new keyword and prototypes (Js question) Posted: 16 Apr 2020 12:14 PM PDT Im a little bit stuck on this - "the new keyword sets the new objects prototype to the prototype property of the constructor" What is a prototype property of a constructor? I would assume its a property in a prototype object but im still having trouble putting this concept together [link] [comments]  | ||

| What are good options of WebRTC services out there? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 11:13 AM PDT Hey y'all, I need to add video chat features to an ap and that's a subject I'm not familiar with. All I need is 1:1 streaming and saving the recording to S3 or DO spaces. I've seen some SaaS and in-house implementations, but would like to ask you guys what you've used and like. Thanks so much!

| NEED HELP with kinda quiz web app. Is there a way to do it without AJAX ? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 07:05 AM PDT So I have to give back my diploma work in two weeks... So the things is that I've create a guide to learn the basics of online privacy in a quiz form with different chapters. Each chapters have subchapters and I want each chapters to be a html file, the problem is that every subchapters have many screens like the introduction to the subchapters, first question, first answers, second question second answer,etc... Each screen is minimalist kinda like a phone app but I don't want to create an entire html file for each screen sounds stupid to do it that way. So I want that when the user click on the answer he go to the answer screen without reloading the page. A friend tell me about AJAX but as a front-end student dev learning a new technique in less than 2 weeks with my JS skills looks discouraging. Do you think you have a pure HTML, CSS and JS way to do it ? [link] [comments]  | ||
