| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 03:18 AM PDT Like these ones: I don't have anything against this people, but it's a) strange and b) unreal. Any experienced dev knows things aren't this easy or pretty. There's no trace of deadlines or estimations, they make start working at Twitter/Facebook/whatever look as easy as doing some networking and voilà , you're in. Barely no work done in a 13 hour day, it's all eating, playing and drinking tea with your team with a little coding in the middle. No boss asking you to speed up things because the product/feature must be delivered by tomorrow, it's all fun and cakes. It's basically an Instagram influencer take on working in a big dev company. I don't know if this is a thing, if I'm the only one seeing this in their recommendations, but I think it gives the wrong impression of what a dev life is. That's the top 5% of the Gauss curve, we all know it's not like this unless you work very hard and have a lot of luck. Chances are you end up in a good but way less cool job with no puppies, free food or three hours of free time in your day. Is this a new trend or something?

| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 02:16 PM PDT I work for a company that sells lasers. We calibrate those lasers on a yearly basis. We currently take our measurements, input the data into excel for deviation calculations, then copy and paste this data onto a boiler plate document. It's sloppy and looks sloppy. I know this can be done better. I would like to save the data from each entry for later recall. This would require some sort of database. Then I would like for the data to be automatically placed into the document (live link?). Honestly, I'm not sure where to start and how. Looking for some help and guidance on how I can make this process better for me and my colleagues. Thanks everyone. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 10:15 AM PDT Background: I have memory problems. I lean heavily on self-written notes to function, especially post-its stuck on the things/places where the note is relevant. The problem is that space on the note is limited, and they tend not to stay where they're put. So I've come up with a project to make the whole thing work better. Now as I mentioned in the title, I'm an experienced developer but not in web services. So I already have all the knowledge I need to make something that barely works and is horribly unreliable and insecure. I'm looking for some pointers toward existing libraries and services that are appropriate to what I'm trying to do. Which is:
And that's it. I plan to run my code on AWS or GCP. There are mainly two problems I want to solve without reinventing the wheel (badly, no doubt):
Thanks very much! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How to have a full-page, long, background image like ColourPop? [link included] Posted: 13 Aug 2020 01:57 PM PDT Hey guys, Could somebody give me some guidance on how to get a long, vertical background image like the one on ColourPop here? is this as simply as designing a long image and putting it in the html section of the doc, or is there some fancy repeating image stuff in the css? Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How do you create user-friendly “UIDs”/game codes? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 01:37 PM PDT Hey everyone, I've noticed many online games that allow you to begin a new game and then invite your friends using a 4-6 digit code made up of letters and numbers, and I'm wondering how these are typically generated. When a new game is started it will be given a UID in my database, but these are really long and not reasonable for a user to type in. How do you create a shorter code and also assure that it's unique with respect to the currently active games? TIA for your advice!! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| OAuth tokens, what to do with them once the user is authenticated? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 03:44 AM PDT This is not limited to a single coding language, it's more a logical thing. So I have a project where a user can click "Login with Strava", which returns the access code, which in term gets traded for the access token, refresh token and expiry. Now what do I do with this data?
Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 04:23 PM PDT Hello, I am building a hub for my game's community. I'm currently at the phase of finishing my user system. I know the session_start function is used to create sessions, in which I can then store information about the client however, what I am looking for is some help to secure sessions and stop them from being exploited from things like session hijacking. I came up with a functionality where the cookie changes every time the client loads the page however, as you know, you need to set one session/cookie in-order to log a user into the site. If the cookie changes every time the pages loads, then users won't be able to use any features on the site. So, what I ask is, does anyone have a good method for securing php session cookies and variables. I've watched roughly 7 youtube tutorial videos, the php 7 manual and a few different places on stackoverflow. I can provide links to places I've used to gather information. If anyone needs those. You might be able to pull together a better solution for this. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Selling Development Services Objections when prospecting. Posted: 13 Aug 2020 04:14 PM PDT I always have people tout "we have a facebook page", over an actual website, and this stonewalls. This is the most common objection, that or they end up trying to use something like wix jfc. Is web development becoming a specialist field, or what?

| How To Develop A Website to Gamify Life Posted: 13 Aug 2020 04:06 PM PDT Recently, I read an article about turning your life into a game through gamification. I though that was a really cool concept and I decided to try it with my own life. I found some websites that do this like "Level Up Life" and "Habitica" but these were not exactly what I was looking for. I would like to develop my own website to gamify life. My website would not just be a simple to-do list with a points and level system, It would be a full fledged interactive website with tons of features, graphics, animations. Unfortunately, I have no experience with developing a website. I know exactly what I want the website to be, I just don't know how to make it. I know it is silly trying to develop something like this with no experience but I really love this idea and I want to make it a reality. How would I go about developing this website? What is the process for developing a website like this? Would it even be possible for me to make this site despite my lack of experience? I really want to make this website so any help would be great. Thanks and happy developing. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Looking for a modern MERN stack tutorial Posted: 13 Aug 2020 03:23 PM PDT tl;dr: does anyone have recommendations for a modern MERN stack tutorial? All the top posts seem to be 2+ years old, which is a while for web development. Longwinded: Hello! I'm a former Java dev that took 4 years off to do non-CS grad school. That's finishing and I want to get back into a software/web development career — but something more modern than Java. I already have an app I want to build that I had a working, frontend-only prototype for. I want to remake it, then fully deploy it with the hopes that I would get some users and also a good side project to show I can still code. I figured the MERN stack would be good for this, and would love some tutorial suggestions. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Beginner Project: Inventory Manager? What technologies needed? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 02:26 PM PDT I'm looking to build an inventory manager, but not sure what technologies I'll need. Use case: Users can sign in to their own account and manage their list of lets say books with attributes. Already have a domain to purchase in mind. I see that I can use digital ocean to get a web host for $5/month, but does that include a database to manage users and their list of items? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 01:34 PM PDT How do u guys implement 2fa (authy/google auth/...) on websites? I'm searching for a long time, but no success. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 01:15 AM PDT I've tried a few tutorials now and I'll be honest, they don't help me at all. It feels great building something throughout the tutorials however when I go to attempt at making something from scratch, I have 0 idea how to begin nor I have an actual clue on what most of the code is or does as the tutorials just provide a very vague explanation and just get you to type it. This keeps happening and I've realised that the tutorials just don't help me actually learn but have put my brain in a copypaste frame. Can you recommend materials/links that will teach me the very basics of Javascript and then potentially the next steps from it? I really want to know how to code myself and not how to copypaste code.

| Choosing a good domain name for travel & photography Posted: 13 Aug 2020 01:01 PM PDT Hi, I currently have nicolas-duclos.com which is my name Nicolas Duclos. However, I'm looking for help to improve the domain name related to what I'm doing which is photography and travel blog. Nicolas Duclos may be good enough, but I feel like it will not evolve great if I meet someone who wish to also share travel in the future. We can't be a couple under one name, but I also feel like a random name may look unprofessional when looking for a job as a photographer or marketing. Here are some ideas from my brainstorming, but I need some advices about if I have good reason to get new domain or I'm just stupid and asking too much on myself.
I'm thinking that my name may be good as a start, but I read somewhere that it's not recommended to change name afterward if I decide to sell stuffs with other text than my name. Also my name is not spelling good in English which is also why I wanted to choose something else. Do you think it will be a problem for foreigner to have a very French name or people will just call me Nic? That's the only thing I need to figure out before I start creating content, because I don't want to change name each month. Thank you for your help and advices concerning choosing a good name. I asked on a lot of subreddit and Facebook group already, but nobody seem to care about that. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Creating an easy and editable digital restaurant menu Posted: 13 Aug 2020 01:32 AM PDT Hi, my dad has a small restaurant and has upgraded his menus to some digital screens to show the menu. He asked me if I could create something pretty which even he was able to edit the content. For example change the price, edit the name of an item or add/remove an item. What I thought would be easy is just set up a web page for each screen, and an easy backend for editing the content using forms. But I haven't done any web development in the last 10 years, so it is a whole new world for me. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or share some tips on how they would have solved it? Or even a better solution than doing it as a webpage? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Is LinkedIn learning worth it compared to other learning platforms(For junior devs) Posted: 13 Aug 2020 04:01 AM PDT Hi I'm a junior dev with around 2 years of experience and since training isn't really available with my current employer, I've been looking around for good platforms to do some courses. LinkedIn has learning courses on a lot of stuff together with its premium benefits. I was thinking this would be a more efficient option since you get 2 benefits at relatively the same cost as other sites. However, I'm not sure if the quality of them is as good compared to Udemyor Pluralsight courses. Would love to hear some feedback if you guys have experience with the different platforms.

| Should I continue with Django or pick up NodeJs? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 05:09 AM PDT I did tutorials in NodeJs through Colt Steele's course which taught us a handful of projects. Then you guys suggested me to create a hands-on project and get out of tutorial hell, I would always be thankful for this advice. So, I brushed up some concepts and started to do small stuff and applied for a web dev internship. I got selected but then the internship people tell me to take 3-4 days and learn Django because we'll be building an E-commerce in it. I learnt as much as I could and along with other peers in 30-40 days we built the entire Backend in django. These 30 days made me so good in Django which 6 months of tutorials couldn't in NodeJs. Now I prefer the structured way of Django, and NodeJs feels very messy. Would you guys suggest me to continue Django, I am thinking of learning React along or should I focus on MERN stack?

| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 12:34 PM PDT Hey guys. I'm currently trying to create a file and have it uploaded on a Google Drive account using the Service Account auth method provided by Google (since it'll all be server-side on the final product, I don't want users to have to authorize access, so no OAuth per-say). I'm currently able to connect with the Service Account and upload the file, but the file doesn't show when I'm navigating my Google Drive. (I was able to have it work (both upload & render) using the OAuth method; where I would manually authorize the application prior to the upload, so I'm pretty sure the code is working) Also, another way that I know it's working is, once the upload has been done, I'm returned a file ID. If I were to go to "https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/view?usp=sharing", I'm met with "Authorization is required". Is there anything I should be doing when creating the Service Account so that my Gmail account can have access to the files? ---- For informations, here's the way I'm connecting to the API (Server-side): https://pastebin.com/3HacF02F [link] [comments]  |
