    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 01:16 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, 12 days ago I had made an announcement about the JavaScript technical interview workbook. It's up for pre-launch here https://gum.co/JieDN

    There is tons info there about why I wrote it and what's in it. Sorry if this seems like a shameless plug, I'm running low on time today!

    Before launching a website, what's your general go-to list of requirements before going live?

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 12:51 PM PDT

    This is a repost of this 6 year old post. The top post included the below list but it seems a bit dated now.

    • Make sure minifier is working
    • Canonical URLs in place
    • Non-www redirects to www version
    • Check it works across all browsers (spoon.net rocks for this)
    • Check the site on gtmetrix.com
    • Run Xenu link sleuth to check for 404's
    • Make sure analytics are installed
    • Make sure webmaster tools verify code in place

    Babel & Webpack fundamentals (minus all the React, Vue, etc framework stuff)

    Babel & Webpack fundamentals (minus all the React, Vue, etc framework stuff)

    Boilerplates & CRA are great to get us started without worrying much about the build step. But, often this leaves a hole in our understanding of how the code we write transforms into the code that executes on our visitors' browsers.

    This post contains code snippets with vanilla JavaScript to explain how & what babel & webpack work. Things like:

    - how do webpack loaders & plugins differ

    - how does importing babel polyfill differ from using babel-preset-env

    If once an api is developed, Should you make changes to it to ease jobs of front end devs??

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 03:24 PM PDT

    I'm doing this freelance project on upwork and my client has hired another dev for front end application, I had developed the entire api before the front end dev started working on the app, But he keeps requesting me to add stuff to the api so that he has to do less work on frontend for ex like Change the error format so he does not have to write multiple methods to check error

    Domain + Webhosting + creating a website for an old fashioned mom and pop shop

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 03:19 PM PDT

    I've been tasked with creating a website and realigning the online presence for a store that has been around since the mid 2000s. The stores online presence is extremely messy and all have been pretty half assed attempts at making social media accounts to connect with their community.

    There are mainly two things that they asked for in terms of the website aside from the basics (address, phone number.)

    1) The ability to add items for sale on the website (they have well over 2000 items but they mentioned they wanted to start slow and build up)

    2) Add pictures of their location along with adding the different social medias they have available.

    So far it seems like what i need are :
    A domain name (apparently not godaddy), a host site (apparently not bluehost), and something like wordpress to actually build the site.

    I'm also aware that sites like wix.com and squarespace.com exist but don't know if they are a good option to sell from vs just using them as like a regular blog type webpage to post pics of your cat.

    The main concern is the "having listings for sale" portion of the site as I don't know how difficult of a system it is to implement into a website (since this is my first run at the rodeo.) and if it would be better to go with the domain + host + wordpress route or head for the prebuilt wix esque website route.

    Thanks and sorry for anything i mightve said weird. :V

    How much should I be paid for website design?

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 11:55 AM PDT

    Hey everyone I need help answering this question. I'm a comp sci student and one of my coworkers reached out to me to help her design a website for her dad's restaurant. I don't have the skills to hard code it so I'm using wix so that after the website is published and I'm long gone she can work on any changes and have autonomy over the website. I've worked on multiple pages for the website, the menu for the restaurant (its an Indian restaurant and I've helped out with the menu setup and the descriptions of the dishes bc many of their patrons are white). And I'm building a system which will allow them to collect emails from their patrons and modernize their restaurant orders. Anyways I'm not sure how much to charge them, whether it should be hourly or a one time commission. Does anyone have any advice?

    So I can make static website and now know HTML, CSS, and JS; now what?

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 04:23 PM PDT

    I was reading a thread from a few weeks ago where a user was asking advice on what marketable skills they should learn during the quarantine and a lot of the advice seemed to be learn web dev. Even though the assumed time frame back then was only 2-weeks, some users commented that it would still be worthwhile and profitable to be able to make even just basic websites.

    I've been studying web dev (HTML, CSS, and JS) for about a year of off and on learning. I got pretty excited hearing about this because hadn't really considered making any money at all at this level. Realistically I figured it would take a lot longer and learning frameworks as well as some backend stuff first before I could make any sort of money / start applying for jobs.

    I just wanted to come here and ask whether or not it is realistic to make money with the skills that I have now, or if I need to learn something specifically first?

    I know finding jobs for this sort of field is difficult, and with the pandemic and all I'm sure that hasn't changed much but what advice would you have for someone wanting to work on gaining employable skills during this time?

    Edit:

    Also how realistic would it be getting a remote job in this field given the current situation with the pandemic? I'm in Canada with reliable internet and some entry level podcast equipment.

    How do I reduce the frequency of CloudFlare protection redirects on certain websites?

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 04:09 PM PDT

    So there's one database website that I find very interesting which uses CloudFlare protection (voterrecords.com, which shows publically available voter registration data from the states that release it; I've found that it's a great resource for looking at correlations in the politics of police officers accused of brutality, of which I'm yet to come across one in these states who is registered as a Democrat). Basically every 5 minutes it'll reperform the same CloudFlare check, and I'm finding that this is having a significant impact on me browsing the site.

    In the past couple of days it's begun all of a sudden to ask me to enter a captcha every time the cookie resets itself. I don't know why this is, but according to CloudFlare's website, it was most likely that it had deemed my periodic long sessions on the site to be "suspicious" and possibly reminiscent to that of a bot or crawler, even though I'm a real person.

    I've tried editing the CloudFlare cookies on the site to extend their expiry date, but they still seem to refresh after the 5 minute or so time period. Is there any workaround I could use to reduce the significant annoyance of this?

    Help picking a software

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 03:50 PM PDT

    At my work I currently use Dydacomp's Multichannel Order Management software. This software interfaces with our website, FedEx, and allows for dynamic shipping (e.g., if they order 2lbs of X shipping is $42, 2lbs of Y shipping is $35, if they buy 6lbs of product X shipping is $58, etc.)

    A few years ago my company built a website on shopify, however, they found shopify to lack dynamic capabilities, requiring all purchases to have pre-set shipping costs essentially built in. As a result, the site was abandoned.

    Fast forward a few years to the present, and I, a neophyte, have been tasked with reattempting this and building a shopify site to sell our subscription services with factored in shipping.

    Does anyone have have any recommendations as far as software to interface between UPS, and shopify?

    Thank you

    Should I move from Vue to React?

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 03:53 AM PDT

    Hello guys, I need some advice on whether to move on from vue to react because react has more job opportunities than vue here in my location (SEA). For me, vue is the go-to framework because it is the first framework I've used and I've read that it is much easier than react. Also, the reason why I asked this kind of question because I'm planning to get some bigger salaries.

    What do you think guys? Will I have a hard time transitioning from Vue to React or should stick with Vue?

    EDIT:
    Thank you guys for the wonderful advice on this topic. Before I make any decisions regarding with this I will surely keep in mind the lessons I learned from here.

    What can you expect if you want to begin freelancing in 2021 as a mediocre developer?

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 12:00 PM PDT

    Willing to learn to specialize in something, but I still doubt I would end up in top 10% of all the talent out there.

    Because that's what for example toptal.com is about. The top 10%. I don't feel confident about applying to freelance on that site. Plus I would need to first of all specialize in something. I just don't think I'm a top 10% developer.

    I wouldn't be too opposed against the relatively bad contracts on sites such as freelancer.com and upwork.com but, I have read about and experienced their shady staff trying to rip off their freelancers by freezing their accounts and taking their earned money.

    I'm not good at socializing, and networking doesn't exist in my little world :P

    I worked in sales for a web dev firm where my job was to cold call businesses all day and just ask them if they want to see a website I've built for them (had not actually built it for them yet, but the company would build a sketch for them before the booked appointment if they say yes), and I was surprised that I could call hundreds and hundreds of businesses who all would say no thanks. They don't have any interest in even taking a look at a website that is already built for them, no price mentioned.

    So, just saying that because I've seen people recommend that you should look for businesses with a poor website, build one for them and then cold call them and see if they want to buy it. But that doesn't work in my experience.

    It just seems to me like if you want to freelance you need to:

    - Be very charismatic and sociable and good at networking.

    or

    - Be a top 10% developer. The type that web dev firms bring in to fix difficult problems that their own team of developers can't.

    or

    - Work on sites such as upwork.com where you work for relatively small payments, with the risk of the staff scamming you.

    But if I'm wrong, please let me know what you recommend specializing in and where/how to get paid for it.

    Advice for first web development job?

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 03:45 PM PDT

    I'm about to start my first full time web development job and would love any advice. I did well in school but never really did any independent coding or side projects and have a little imposter syndrome about starting work. I know from school I can pick up any language relatively quickly but am worried about the intricacies of a real work environment and my imposter syndrome impeding my ability to learn on the job.

    Thanks!

    Does it ever make sense to include a body in a GET request?

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 02:53 PM PDT

    Supposing you want to send a GET request with some JSON data (e.g. very long lists, etc) , should you just be making a POST instead (one that doesn't actually update anything)?

    Stop what you're doing and search your project for "console.log". How many did you find that shouldn't be there?

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 02:50 PM PDT

    I found 1. That's a new low score for me.

    Should I learn Ruby on Rails?

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 08:39 AM PDT

    I am still using plain PHP and html for my projects, do you think I should switch to Ruby on Rails as that is what many big companies like Airbnb, Shopify and Twitter use?

    Would it be worth to start learning a completely new language and what might be the benefits?

    Server Side Optimization Questions

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 02:30 PM PDT

    Hello.

    ​

    Like the title says, I am working on a Angular PWA being served through a nodejs express server via heroku.

    ​

    I have enable compression & https redirection however when i run a lighthouse audit I still receive multiple warnings about enabling text compression and serving assets without https.

    ​

    Here is my code, is there something I am doing wrong? or anything else I should be doing instead?

    //required to compress data sent to client app.use(compression()) app.use(express.static("public")); //minifies css & js files sent to client for optimization app.get('*.js', function(req, res, next) { req.url = req.url + '.gz'; res.set('Content-Encoding', 'gzip'); res.set('Content-Type', 'text/javascript'); next(); }); app.get('*.css', function(req, res, next) { req.url = req.url + '.gz'; res.set('Content-Encoding', 'gzip'); res.set('Content-Type', 'text/css'); next(); }); // Redirect Users to "index.html" if route not accessed using client side routing app.use((req, res) => { res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + "/public/index.html")); }); app.use(function (req, res, next) { if (req.secure) { // request was via https, so do no special handling next(); } else { // request was via http, so redirect to https //required for optimaztion res.redirect('https://' + req.headers.host + req.url); } });

    Thank you. This is my first large scale project and appreciate any advice you can provide

    Career question for fresh grad (Canada)

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 02:12 PM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I graduated in April from a 3 year advanced diploma in web/software development. I unfortunately don't have any internship or coops (kinda regret it now).

    I've been applying to frontend positions since the last 3 months(~ 150 apps) got 2 phone calls and 1 interview which I made to the second round and still no job offer so far.

    I did a 4 months capstone using react, html, css but I assume employers don't see that as experience.

    Been upgrading my skills since then but I don't know if my portfolio and skills are worth a junior position or not.

    Does anyone know how is the job market in Canada right now, especially in Toronto and KW area for fresh grads and the skills necessary for an entry level? (all entry level positions requires 2+ years of experience... No sheet). Can also dm my portfolio :)

    I'm pretty much looking for anything right now... Full time, part time, interships or even unpaid internships.
