Is working in a small company always a chaotic experience? Posted: 09 Jul 2020 11:48 PM PDT So, I've just left a job as a "senior" Python backend dev. On my first day on the job, the owner of the company introduced me as a senior dev, which I found kind of funny at the time, but now it's all starting to make more sense. The job description didn't mention the position being senior and I also mentioned at the interview that I had only been working in Python for about half a year in my free time, my previous position being a Java quality engineer. So it must be clear to any technical person that I'm very junior. The salary also was nowhere close to a senior position. I just assumed it was a slip of the tongue. But then again, the manager who hired me was not technical at all, so I guess he had no clue what I was talking about and I passed the technical test, so he just didn't think twice about it. Maybe he really did think I was senior. But anyway, the first month was okay, but I quickly noticed that the working environment was very different from my previous job and not in a good way. There was little to no specification on any tasks, zero documentation of anything, the code was kind of hard to read, since it was full of one letter variables and built on a custom framework from like 2008 with also zero documentation. No code review or automated testing was being done. About two and a half months in, the manager called me and said that he was happy with my performance, so he'd like to include me in a project that was critical for the company. The tech lead on the project said in the beginning that they were already a bit behind schedule, so it had to be done fast, otherwise they might lose the customer. You can imagine that it didn't go very well. My job was to rewrite an old administrative system from scratch, the code being something like what I described above. The tech lead gave me no specification what so ever, there was no prepared architecture, nothing. I was just supposed to read what the old code does, including the ancient undocumented framework, and rewrite the whole thing. I was kinda slow and whenever I asked the tech lead something, he would just refer me to the guy who wrote the old framework. This other guy mostly answered my questions, but just the absolute minimum. Sometimes he'd just ignore me or give me a bullshit answer, like that he doesn't know much about it, despite him actually writing the damn thing. A couple of days ago, the manager called me and said that the job I had done was not good and that he was surprised to see that. And that unless one of the senior devs intervenes, the project might be dropped and the company might go under. Well, no shit. If they bet their whole existence on a newbie dev who had been with the company for a couple of months, then maybe they deserve to go under. They are also still trying to wiggle out of paying me the hours I spent on it. So we both agreed that this is not going to work and I left. This was my second experience with a small company. The other one was not IT-related, but in many ways it was similar. A lot of talk of growth and such, but no management skills and nobody to help you, when shit hits the fan. Is this common, am I missing something, was it just me being incompetent or was I simpy unlucky? TLDR: I've just quit a job in a small company where nobody would plan, document, review or test anything and I was blamed for almost losing a customer, because a critical project hinged on me, a newbie who had only been in the company for a few months.

Looking for responsibilities for a Senior UI Developer Posted: 10 Jul 2020 02:16 PM PDT I'm looking for any senior front end UI developers/designers who are or have worked in companies/corporations who can discuss what they have considered responsibilities for themselves, along with any ideas or examples of when you have had to teach your team about things what do you do or bring up as topics to teach.

How To Handle Hosting For Sold Websites? Posted: 10 Jul 2020 01:13 PM PDT Hi guys, I was wondering how you manage hosting when it comes to selling a website. Let's say I sold the customer a website which needs a NodeJS backend, frontend and a database. Where should I host this? Let's also say I'm gonna have multiple customers - Is it better to go with something managed then? It's obviously more expensive then. Furthermore, what's your approach with the pricing? Do you take a fee from your customer for hosting only? Or do you offer them like ~6 hours potential dev work for the amount of X including hosting? Thanks for your thoughts [link] [comments] | ||

Posted: 09 Jul 2020 10:47 PM PDT I'm a front-end developer and I've gotten bored with churning out React/Angular CRUD apps and I'm trying to find something more interesting and potentially better paying. I loved making small games in C++ when I was younger and I'm struck by the idea of working with 3D graphics in the browser. Could someone tell me what the market is like right now? Are there careers in 3D browser graphics and what would I need to work there? Thank you very much in advance! [link] [comments] | ||
React.js vs Vue.js. Which one do you prefer? Posted: 10 Jul 2020 09:52 AM PDT I am looking forward to learn a js framework and am thinking about react or vue. My end goal is to learn both, but I need to start somewhere. If you choose an option please comment why you have chosen that. Thanks reddit! [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 10 Jul 2020 01:35 PM PDT I can't seem to get my exported code from my Webflow site and paste it into Mailchimp's custom code email feature and have it display the same way it looks on my site. Is it not possible to export the HTML and CSS to the edit code feature in Mailchimp and have it look the same as the static page on my website? [link] [comments] | ||

Is there an easier way to change common page content? Posted: 10 Jul 2020 04:04 PM PDT I have just ran into not so much an issue, but one of those times where you ask "surely there must be an easier way to do this", when I realised I needed to change one of the names of the pages in my navbar. My site is now many pages large, and due to the fact that I've simply copy and pasted "common" html to each page, like header, footer, and navbar, it means I'd have to go through all x amount of pages and manually change the html- I already realised this with the copyright 20XX date on the bottom of my pages by using :after , but never thought to use it elsewhere. How does everyone else do this? How do this on sites like ebay where there's thousands of pages? Thanks. EDIT: I fixed it this time using find and replace all in notepad++ EDIT2: I learnt why using find and replace all can break a whole site if you accidentally put a space at the end of your replace with term.

Posted: 10 Jul 2020 09:56 AM PDT Hello. I'm currently studying to be a self taught developer. Right now, I'm learning JavaScript. I typically study using books and video tutorials for a couple of hours or so earlier in the day, then I use websites such as Edabit as a way to practice algorithms, problem solving, etc. Once I become more proficient with the DOM, I'll start practicing code on my own websites. Until then, is this a suitable way to practice code? [link] [comments] | ||
Simple Question about images (Back-End) Posted: 10 Jul 2020 03:21 PM PDT Friend just reached out to me about a website he wants to make for a pawn shop he works in. They just want a simple HMTL, CSS, JS website that is informative and allows them to upload and delete images of inventory they have. I was thinking an AWS server for inventory but I know they don't have that type of money. I'm still in school and don't have the time to set it up and don't have to much experience. Anyone have any other ideas? I could change the images myself within the HTML but I know there has to be an easier way that's not a wix or square-space website. [link] [comments] | ||

How do you conduct your interviews when looking for new hirers? Posted: 10 Jul 2020 02:38 PM PDT We're hiring for a few positions and never hired anyone before, just wondering what type of syllabus people follow when going through their interviews. How do you conduct your interviews when looking for new hirers? Also how do you handle individuals who you feel are may be over qualified for a job? Do you still interview them since they could be a great asset, or do you feel like these individuals would end up not taking the job or leaving after a short period of time? [link] [comments] | ||

How does job scheduling typically work? Posted: 09 Jul 2020 07:59 PM PDT How does job scheduling typically work in an application? For example, an app that allows scheduling social media posts, scheduling emails, etc for their users. I know languages like Nodejs have a number of libraries that allow cron-like scheduling, but that doesn't seem very effective if you have a bunch of those running. My thoughts were using something like Redis in some way? Or maybe Rabbitmq? Would love any help or to be pointed in the right direction! [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 10 Jul 2020 02:09 PM PDT Hey All, Amateur hour here but I am having trouble with my personal website. And was hoping one of you could spot the issue quickly If I send out a link like this: www.example.com/123 it will go to the subpage 123. However, if I send out the link without www like this: example.com/123 it redirects to example.com homepage. I am using Google Sites through GSuite. Super basic. These addresses: example.com www.example.com http://www.example.com All go to https://www.example.com if that helps. All I want to be able to do is send out links like example.com/abc and have them go to the subpage and not the homepage. Thanks for any help or advice! [link] [comments] | ||
How can I use grid to make it so the image is on the right without the text? Posted: 10 Jul 2020 01:13 PM PDT So I'm learning grid and flex and making a practice site.

How can I make it so all the words go on the left and the image to the right? Please help. [link] [comments] |
