| Worst Interview I've Experienced Posted: 08 Jul 2020 06:56 AM PDT I'm a self-taught dev looking for my first job and I had an interview yesterday and it was... odd. At first they wanted to do an in person interview, I live in a mid sized city that is seeing a spike in Covid cases right now and so I was not comfortable. So the interview was switched to zoom. It was a full stack dev and the job description had no specified stack, just a general description of the job. I get on the zoom call and he starts the interview by saying "Tell me about yourself". So I start talking about myself then talk about some of the projects I've worked on. He seems a bit confused and starts asking me about c# and talks about the stack they use, none of which I have ever even heard of. It becomes clear this guy didn't even glance at my resume. I'm a JavaScript dev with a focus on a Vue, Laravel stack. No where in my cover letter or resume do I even mention c#. The interview goes on awkwardly for a few minutes as I tell him about the stuff I have done and he keeps asking if it's related to whatever stack they work on. Finally I end up giving him the link to my portfolio, that is on my resume and in my cover letter and the interview mercifully ends. My resume is one page, this guy did literally zero prep, and honestly wasted both of our time. I looked up the company beforehand. Looks like a small place 8 to 10 devs, all dudes in their late 50s early 60s. Seemed like they had a very narrow view of what Full Stack meant. [link] [comments]  | ||

Here is a blog post about the technical stuff: https://blog.quidsentio.com/posts/building-a-shareable-personal-journal/ Here is the web app: https://www.quidsentio.com/ It is a personal journal for text and voice that you can share with trusted friends.

| How much does a typical e-commerce website cost? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 10:06 AM PDT I don't know if it's against the rules to post this, or even if I am at the right community, but I wanted to hire someone to build an e-commerce website. I am shortlisting some freelancers and one of them claimed that typical e-commerce webapps are sold for $2000. Is that accurate? I feel it is a little too much, but then again, I am not a freelancer and just started with basics of web dev. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Why won't React generate components in a loop? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 02:23 PM PDT I am trying to render react components based off of a set of arrays, that contain the values to pass to the Pokemon Component as Props. For some reason it always says that these values are undefined when I console.log(pokemon), which should be an array of components, but all of the props are undefined. Anyone know how to work around this? [link] [comments]  | ||
| When do I know I'm ready to apply for a job? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 11:37 AM PDT For reference if it matters, I'm 22 years old living in NJ with only a high school degree and no college experience. I'm doing Angela Yu's The Complete 2020 Web Development Bootcamp course, currently about a quarter way through the course on the DOM section (section 11.) Prior to starting this course I spent about 2 months learning Python and a little bit of HTML/CSS/JavaScript. I'm going to keep studying daily as I have, usually 8-12 hours a day, and I've made a lot of progress and I want to start applying for a junior position as soon as reasonable. Should I skip the backend sections like Node, go straight to React, learn its fundamentals and make a few projects, a portfolio and resume, and apply to junior front end positions with HTML/CSS/JS/React on my resume while completing the backend section of the course? I am going to be employed in the future, I know that it is just a matter of time and that I have what it takes since I'm working extremely hard. But ideally the soonest I can get a job the better regardless of pay so I can get my foot in the door, and I can also study on the side of working to climb the ranks of a company or apply for higher paying positions as time goes on and also have experience under my belt. But as I said, as soon as reasonable. Is it a reasonable expectation to self-study full-time bootcamp-style and learn as quickly as possible to get a job with the lowest qualifications as soon as possible? And if so, what is the most reasonably low skillset I should have? Is HTML/CSS/JS/Bootstrap/React skills from Angela Yu's course enough? Obviously I also will have to build things on the side to prove my skills. Or should I slow down a bit, wait, and study for a few more months before applying to jobs? I feel like applying will help my motivation levels, although I haven't built anything that isn't from the course or made a portfolio/resume. Hell, my github is completely blank and I just barely know the essence of version control like committing/branching. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Should I Be Studying Longer If I Want A Career In This Field? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 10:32 AM PDT For Background: I began learning Javascript last December, so far i have made the following apps: Clock App, To-Do App, Rock paper scissors app, calculator app, and i'm currently in the process of making an expense-tracker App with REACT. The thing that gets me though is that I'm only studying about 2 hours a day, when I know there are other self-taught people out there going for 4-8 hours of study a day, which makes me doubt myself that I'm not putting in my full effort therefore not going to be cut out to get a job in this field. Would love some insight on this, thank you. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Tips for starting out as a freelance web developer Posted: 08 Jul 2020 11:58 AM PDT Hi, I want to start my journey as a freelance web developer but have no idea where to start. My main issue is with hosting, and I don't know the best place to host lots of websites for multiple clients. I also don't know whether it's worth building websites for clients from the ground up using html/css etc. or whether I should use Wordpress themes. I wondered if anyone had any tips to help me out :) [link] [comments]  | ||
| Sending confidential information from forms through email Posted: 08 Jul 2020 01:35 PM PDT To avoid having a backend infrastructure for my static site, I was thinking about sending the client's form data through an email server (serverless function) to the business' email. I am concerned though that this 1) may not be legal as the forms will contain confidential information. 2) not secure, if someone were to infiltrate the business' email, then they would have confidential information in plain text. No matter what to be secure, it seems like I will have to have some kind of backend system in place to encrypt the confidential data. Is there an existing alternative out there that will handle the storage and security aspect for me? Thank you [link] [comments]  | ||

| Change /#section to /section in URL Posted: 08 Jul 2020 09:08 AM PDT I have a static website that I'm using as a portfolio. The way I identify sections in my portfolio is by giving each section an ID using "#". However, the annoying this about this is that when the URL shows up on the live site, it shows www.mywebsite.com/#section. While that's completely functional, I think it looks kind of unprofessional. Is there a simple way to remove the "#" so the URL is www.mywebsite.com/section ? Would appreciate some help. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Does using more packages on your project decrease performance? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 08:48 AM PDT Hi As per the title... I'm wondering if it's best to try to use as few packages/libraries as possible for performance purposes. Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 03:47 PM PDT Hi fellow redditors! im part of a school system and we are developing a platform aimed at teachers, they will be able to better present and record classes. Right now, we use google meet and probably will be shifting towards Zoom in the near future. My question is: is there any way that i could publish the media captured stream (the browser) as a webcam input source, so that zoom or meets doesnt just cast the Tab or window but shows the browser as a "webcam" source?

| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 02:36 PM PDT I need some advice please. I am creating a website and I have already purchased the domain name via namecheap. I am not sure where to host this website because it will have a blog linked to it but other than that the page will be mostly static. I have some experience with Python/Django and Digital Ocean but I think it might be overkill because of how simple the website needs to be. Any ideas of what to do? Thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 02:18 PM PDT I've seen it done with AutoComplete() but not with AutoCompleteService(). I have grabbed this ( https://material-ui.com/components/autocomplete/#GoogleMaps.tsx ) example from the mui docs and after getting a api key it works fine, but I'd like to make it only return city names, or only addresses, filter by country ect. How am I able to pass these options? In the code provided it has a setOptions state and effect, but I'm not seeing how to pass them here, and what I tried to pass raised errors. Here is a code sandbox of the component: https://codesandbox.io/s/27st8 [link] [comments]  | ||
| .XXX TLD to Protect Client's Brand Posted: 08 Jul 2020 01:30 PM PDT A client of mine was recently encouraged by her publisher to purchase the .com domain of her first and last name because she is growing in popularity in her field and as an author, even though her primary website uses her company name for the domain. It was a $3,000 purchase but she agreed that she wanted to protect her name for the future. That being said, it occurred to me that for the same reason she might be interested in purchasing the .xxx version of her domain in order to protect her brand from being associated with the adult film industry. Is that something I should recommend or is that not really necessary? How much do adult film stars/companies actually use the .xxx TLD? [link] [comments]  | ||
| What is the best way to check for aria-pressed="true" with chrome extension Posted: 08 Jul 2020 01:28 PM PDT Specifically looking for a way to look for aria-pressed="true" or aria-pressed="false" and making a 1 or 0 appear in bottom left of webpage using a chrome extension. They also have an aria-label value I would need to check. So in the bottom left, I would want, let's say three rows, and then showing the value of each or those aria-pressed values either in 1 or 0.

| Set of "open standard" rules for the internet you wish became law? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 01:19 PM PDT I'm writing a sketch for a set of rules which I think could help the internet to be more open and free, in the same way as there are laws concerning monopolies, cartels and trusts. What would you personally like to add/remove/change? 1- No service is allowed to discriminate email providers based on a whitelist. This means, for example, you cannot make a website that only accepts email accounts from gmail and hotmail. 2- No service is allowed to restrict users based on being members of another service (eg. having a facebook account). If some functionality of the other service is needed, the interface should be appropriately documented and "duck typed" in such a way that alternative partner services could be chosen. 3- No service above a critical mass is allowed to force the use of a given client application. Every service above a critical mass should provide an open interface for alternative clients. 4- All data that is collected should be publicly available, with the appropriate degree of anonimity (criptographed user ids, for example). This mechanism should be auditable. 5- Every recommendation algorithm (search engines, timelines, recommended feeds, videos, songs, etc) which affects a number of users above a critical mass needs to be auditable.

| Building my website so I can break it... Posted: 08 Jul 2020 01:12 PM PDT Hi, So I am eager to learn more about web security and I know one of the most effective ways to learn is to actually build and exploit a site yourself. I have a couple of years of webdev experience (HTML, CSS, JS) and I'm getting my masters in infosec currently. My question is if I want to learn more about security vulnerabilities on the web like injection flaws, cross-site scripting, or security misconfigurations how should I build my site? Should I just go the basic route with vanilla JS, HTML, CSS, or use a framework? I originally wanted to use the React framework and Nodejs for the backend. (I'd set up the web server on my Raspberry Pi for hosting) However, I read that React already has decent built-in security, although I know it has its own issues like XSS attacks. I also may use this site for a friend who needs a website for a small church. I want to make it the most unnecessarily secure dynamic church website possible. TL;DR - How should a build my website to learn more about web security, a framework or vanilla JS, HTML, CSS? [link] [comments]  |
