    Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 05:13 AM PDT

    Due to a growing influx of questions on this topic, it has been decided to commit a monthly thread dedicated to this topic to reduce the number of repeat posts on this topic. These types of posts will no longer be allowed in the main thread.

    Many of these questions are also addressed in the sub FAQ or may have been asked in previous monthly career threads.

    Subs dedicated to these types of questions include r/cscareerquestions/ for general and opened ended career questions and r/learnprogramming/ for early learning questions.

    A general recommendation of topics to learn to become industry ready include:

    HTML/CSS/JS Bootcamp

    Version control

    Automation

    Front End Frameworks (React/Vue/Etc)

    APIs and CRUD

    Testing (Unit and Integration)

    Common Design Patterns (free ebook)

    You will also need a portfolio of work with 4-5 personal projects you built, and a resume/CV to apply for work.

    Plan for 6-12 months of self study and project production for your portfolio before applying for work.

    Companies that post these types of jobs deserve to be publicly ridiculed and reported. Minimum wage for a highly technical skill set with proven work experience, expertise and experience in sub areas? The fucking audacity of this post.

    Should I store theme information in cookies?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 04:41 PM PDT

    In my site, I allow users to pick from a variety of dark and light themes. I store the user's favorite theme in LocalStorage and every time a page loads I run a javascript that sets the css to the user's choice.

    The problem with that is, there's a very brief flash of the default theme before javascript can run and apply the user's favorite theme. That is annoying, especially if the user picked a dark theme and the default is light. In Firefox, that flash nearly always happens, in Chrome it happens less often.

    Because of that, I'm wondering if I should just store that information in cookies and let django deliver pages with the correct theme instead of relying on javascript's speed.

    What do you guys think? Would it be bad for performance to mess with cookies just for that?

    Ideally I would stick to LocalStorage, but the flashing is a deal breaker to me.

    Any ideas why a minor spike in Russian traffic would bring a site down?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 01:28 PM PDT

    This website is hosted on a VPS with InMotion hosting along with some other sites.

    It averages between 25 and 50 concurrent users. However, over the past 6 months or so, every 2-3 weeks the site gets a spike of traffic from Russia that gets up to about 200 concurrent users and this makes the sites go down. Either says "cant connect" to the site or it will spin for a long, long time and never come up.

    I know it's Russian traffic because whenever the sites go down, I immediately check Analytics and there's always about 180 concurrent users and 95% of them are from Russia (or Ukraine).

    When this happens, the sites are down for on average 20 minutes and then the Russian traffic starts trending down and things go back to normal, until it inevitably happens again.

    InMotion fully admits that my VPS should be PLENTY able to handle 200 concurrent users. I thought they would try to upsell me to a higher VPS, but they admitted the VPS I'm on should not be having this problem.

    I've worked with them as much info as possible and they had me:

    • increase max mySQL connections from 100 to 200
    • increase PHP memory_limit from 32M to 2 GB
    • specify CPanel quotes for all sites, rather than leave them all unlimited

    None of those things worked because it happened again today.

    I also did some stuff on my end:

    • blacklisting one particular Russian IP range that kept causing a server error with "WEB_ATTACK/COMMAND_INJECTION" in it
    • optimizing all the mysql queries, although they are all very simple queries to begin with and the main database table that gets queried by each visitor is only like 4,000 rows.

    I spoke with InMotion again today while the sites were down and the support tech said she was confused because everything with MySQL looked fine, the CPU usage was low and the memory was low but that there were "tons of processes running on the server."

    Ultimately, she escalated it to higher level support but said they simplydon't know why this keeps happening and suggested I blacklist all Russian traffic. I'd really like to avoid blacklisting an entire country so was just curious if anyone had any ideas for me to try or other things to look for?

    This site has definitely gotten lots of US traffic before (more than 200 concurrent users) and that didn't bring the site down. So I feel like something is definitely up with the Russian traffic, but no idea what it could be. It's not all from the same IP, so it seems to be legitimate traffic, but who knows.

    Thanks for reading and if you have ANY suggestions, please fire them at me because I'M DESPERATE TO FIGURE THIS OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL.

    I am getting sick of Google's search console and pagespeed insights.

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 03:26 PM PDT

    Google wants to dictate what you can or cannot do on your site based on their arbitrary standards. Search ranking should be based on content only, not the size of images, whether the layout shifts, number of scripts loaded, etc. If a visitor wants to leave the site because it takes to long to load, they certainly can.

    Are we all supposed to go back to boring text-based sites -- or pay for AMP?

    Ever been asked how you did something as if it were simple enough to explain in a few seconds?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 06:39 AM PDT

    You show a non-technical person, co-worker, manager, whatever that thing they asked you to do because they didn't know how (webpage plugin, api call, form, script, spreadsheet function etc). Then they ask "how did you do that, no seriously what did you do?" I always say I did what i've learned from years of experience. I think a lot of people think technical people are wizards and yet at the same time think there is just this "one quick trick" to be able to do the same thing.

    How is having a College Degree affect you in landing a Job in Current times? Or does it even matter to get one?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 03:52 PM PDT

    It came from my observation that most people who said that "You don't need a College Degree. I Made It." Are from the Boomer Generation or Past Generation who made it in the IT Field/Web Dev without a College Degree.

    With current times and Technology developing fast how does having a College Degree in our Current time matter for being a Web Dev?

    EDIT: Do you also need to be good at math? Or how much maths is there in a CS Degree? Is the Military a good option to get your foot started?

    How often do you need Data Structures and Algorithms in web development?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 03:47 PM PDT

    I am a self taught full stack developer. My main technologies are php with laravel and vue.js for frontend. In my career as freelance contractor I have never stumbled upon a scenario where I would need to use some kind of more advanced (Binary trees, A*, Breadth first search / Depth first search, just to name a few) alogrithm or data structure or if I needed - frameworks would handle everything for me.

    I'm interested to know if other people tend to use these concepts in web development regularly? Is there something I'm missing out and I should learn these DSA concepts?

    P.S. I am not talking about things like design patterns (singletons, factories, etc).

    #Help Excel Data into a Webpage

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 03:45 PM PDT

    I cant figure out how to have a website read data from an excel ... say in google sheets ... and then display it live — meaning any updates instantly display.

    Here is what I'm try to do ... take results from a kahoots excel and display it through a web page to display a leaderboard.

    I use Webflow mainly. Thanks for any help!

    SaaS Startup - Custom web design or wordpress theme modification?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 02:46 PM PDT

    Need to get the website setup, was initially planning on getting custom website designed and developed. However, it seems a lot of people advise against it for startups with limited budgets, because design + transferring it to custom html/wordpress takes a lot of time and money.

    Custom design has a benefit of bespoke look rather than some generic template, however, I'm not sure about the development effort required in taking PSDs etc and converting them into functional website? On the other hand, if I can get a designer to polish up and customize an existing theme, that would probably be very economical and quick.

    Since I'm new to this, wanted to get your opinion?

    3D First Person Art Gallery - No Javascript!

    My PWA sometimes shows the little Chrome icon when added to the Home screen, even on the same Android version (Android 9, on different devices)

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 04:23 AM PDT

    I can't understand how to fix this issue. Installing my PWA sometimes results in the weird little Chrome icon showing on the bottom right of the app, just like this screenshot:

    https://i.imgur.com/JsD5GNm.png

    This is happening on Android 9 on different devices. Sometimes it appears, sometimes it doesn't. The app is correctly installed as app (it's not a bookmark) and it appears in the apps drawer (so it needs to be "uninstalled" if I want to completely remove it).

    What I don't understand is "why" sometimes it adds the Chrome icon and sometimes... It doesn't. What's the logic behind this behaviour?

    SOLVED

    You must have an enabled Google account on the device. If you use it anonymously (example: you just need to configure a tablet for a client) it will always show the little Chrome icon. If you want to avoid the little icon you can follow these steps:

    1. Login with a Google account on the device
    2. Go to the PWA page and install it (add to home screen)
    3. Logout and remove the Google account from the device

    Android will keep the correct icon without the little Chrome badge.

    Chrome not opening HTML files

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 01:40 PM PDT

    I had this problem on MacOS and fixed it by going into macOS system preferences, then privacy, then chrome and then allowing access to files.

    However, I'm having this problem on windows now. I've tried many solutions such reinstalling and others I've found, but no luck.

    Any suggestions? I'm primarily a macOS user.
