Feeling like I let myself down with Front End development Posted: 07 Oct 2020 02:55 PM PDT Lately I been stressing out with my current position, I was given a chance at a front end development role, I did well in the interview and have been in the role for just under 2 months now but real world experience versus what you learn in school/odin project/etc are has blind sided me. We're working with Angular, and I have never touched Angular before, so its a whole new concept/architecture for me. We have engineers who have been working with Angular 1.6 to angular 10 for 5-8+ years. So when there are tasks to do, it isn't uncommon for these senior level or staff level engineers to respond to our program manager with "this should be easy to do" then hand it off to me. It has been overwhelming with the work I have been assigned, and even though I am able to reach out and get assistance by some of our senior level engineers, I know they probably don't like wasting their time to help. Each time I get tasked with something, there are moments I feel lost even if the logic or concept makes sense, I have difficulty trying to accomplish it. Or sometimes I have no idea what to even do. It makes it even more terrifying that I am going to lose my job because I am honestly lost, to the point I say out-loud "I don't know how to do this". I try to do some google research, but a lot of the work we do feels like you can't find online material or resources that help. It is so unique and inhouse built, that typing it in google, you don't get clear responses. Even when I look up angular examples they are different than what we have used or set up. For example, the flyout option, is explained one way on the Angular.io forums, but the way we incorporate and write them is different. There are just too many times where I am not learning fast enough, and I feel as if I am letting myself down and eventually letting the team/business down. Just need to get this off my chest, its just one of those "its barely Wednesday" type of days. [link] [comments] |
Should I put my progress on codewars on my curriculum/portfolio? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 07:09 PM PDT Hello there, I just wanted to know if it's good to show your codewars progress to employers in someway. Do they pay attention to it? Or it doesn't matter so you shouldn't put it? Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
How often do you do side projects of your own? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 08:32 PM PDT What I mean by that is do you make one randomly out of boredom, after work or you just want to build something because you just feel like it, and how often? [link] [comments] |
Does taking a long time to solve a problem make you a bad programmer?? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 02:29 PM PDT When I am working on a problem or a challenge, I find that even the medium difficulty challenges take a long time . Did anyone struggled with that when they started reprogramming and did you get better and how did you improve? [link] [comments] |
Automating billings and entries at work and checking for accuracy Posted: 07 Oct 2020 09:42 PM PDT I was wondering if anybody knew which programming language would be in my best interest to focus on to automate tasks within the company business applications. I am looking to do away with these tasks to focus on more important things. I am not super technical so please work with me a little bit if I don't phrase things the right way. [link] [comments] |
Automating PDF data extraction? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 09:35 PM PDT One thing I do as part of my job is to take client information from PDF forms that they filled and input it into a separate database. Unfortunately, I doubt that I will be able to use an API or some other method to directly interface with the tables of the database since it is out of my control and a relatively small application, but I noticed that I can navigate the forms I must fill quite easily with the "tab" key. The nature of these PDFs is strange in that the availability of some information and the layouts aren't constant. However, a common constant is the ability to "control + F" and search for the name of the information you want, ex. "Age", and have the value for age available right next to it. If the page search returns no results, then that information isn't available. I was wondering if there was a way that I could feed a program these PDFs and have it extract the information needed from the PDF. Then, it should compile that information into a macro that tabs through the entire page and automatically enters all the values it extracted from the PDF. Based on experience, I heard python might be good for this but I am open to anything. Where do I start? What APIs and libraries do I need to be able to do this? Any tutorials available online? As you can tell I'm not too familiar with this :( [link] [comments] |
Posted: 07 Oct 2020 09:33 PM PDT I thought the project was simple at first. I need suggestions for the project. I don't know if the project itself is feasible. My project involves creating an Android App for price comparison. Its main function is to show the price of the "Searched item" from different e-commerce sites. (For eg: If I searched for an "Adidas shoe" then the app will show the result from Amazon, eBay, etc along with their price)(like Trivago) I intend to make the frontend with flutter and backend with Django python for scrapping. I got stuck at scrapping. It seems e-commerce sites have anti-scraping techniques. Also, I realized it late but scrapping every time a customer search for a product is not feasible. I am looking for any suitable free e-commerce API that can provide me some data. Any suggestions? sorry if I am not making sense. [link] [comments] |
[Java] Need help creating a specific pattern with a given string? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 08:36 PM PDT Hi, new to Java and I'm stuck on a difficult question that I have no idea on how to get started. I have to print a diamond shape with a specific pattern when the user enters any string. It looks like this if the string given was "SAMPLE". [link] [comments] |
Learning C takes about how long? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 08:25 PM PDT Currently enrolled in my C class since beginning of September. It's all online but I attend classes and read the notes so it's not a problem. I'm just learning pretty slowly. Realistically can I learn C within the semester (4 months). I'm just picking stuff up quite slowly right now [link] [comments] |
Stuck with my python assignment Posted: 07 Oct 2020 07:59 PM PDT Basically, I would like to know why my code does not store the correctAnswers and incorrectAnswers properly. If the studentAnswers is not 100% equal to the answerKey then I will get 0/20 questions right even If I correctly input 19 answers; it always tells me I either get 0/20 or 20/20. I also want to know how to compare each individual value of studentList with the answerKey and sent the wrong answers to the incorrectList. For this one I did research but all I found was how to get the differences between both list like substracting list2 from list1 or using sets, I used both but after trying it and thinking about it both list are full of ["A","B","C","D"] so there wasn't any difference I think.

What languages/things would I need to know to create a Reddit client for iOS? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 07:54 PM PDT If you go on the App Store you'll see tons of them when searching Reddit. I want to make one that is focused around education and educational subreddits but don't know where to begin and what to learn to make this. I have very little programming knowledge but I wanted to set a goal/project to work towards. [link] [comments] |
Paramiko Not a Valid RSA Key Error Posted: 07 Oct 2020 11:10 PM PDT So i'm using the Paramiko library to SSH into a host and i'm passing the RSA key as a parameter and it keeps throwing an exception. Below is the traceback: I've made sure that the ssh-key is in proper RSA format: Below is the code where i'm making the call: ``` session_user = subprocess.check_output('whoami').decode() private_key_location = '/home/{}/.ssh/id_rsa'.format(session_user.strip('\n')) logger.error("SSH Key Location: {}\n" "Logged In User: {}".format(private_key_location, session_user)) pkey = paramiko.RSAKey.from_private_key(StringIO(private_key_location)) def connect_bastion(bastion_host, user, private_key): try: client = paramiko.SSHClient() client.load_system_host_keys() client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()) client.connect(hostname=bastion_host, port=22, username=user, pkey=private_key) except AuthenticationException as err: logger.info(f'Authentication failed: {err}') logger.error(err) raise err return client ``` Any assistance would be greatly appreciated [link] [comments] |
My brain refuses to take any more programming info but it's okay Posted: 07 Oct 2020 03:33 PM PDT With zero prior computer science knowledge, I began studying python on August 26—and fell in love, lol. I work full time as a research assistant on a liver care-related study but I've been one-track mind obsessing over programming, studying for hours every single day. I've finished two books, built a few little personal programs, I'm working on my 3rd Django project, learned my way around HTML and CSS, finished 50% of freecodecamp's python track, completed Carnegie Mellon's python MOOC....... I have been busy. And my brain has QUIT. For now. When I sit down and start reading about programming, my eyes get heavy even though I'm not tired. I can barely string the concepts together mentally, though I can read novels for hours without feeling the same strain. I realize I need to take a break and I'm okay with that. I'm just really excited to have found something I'm so interested in. I'm 24 and dropped out of school a while back after 3 years because I couldn't see my education taking me somewhere I'd want to go; if I'd known programming and I would get along so well, I'd have done it from the beginning. It's one of the nice things about not being in a formal education setting that I can say "Hey self, in order to keep progressing in this subject you really enjoy, let's take a few days off and try to focus on other things so your brain can rest" and not have to worry about deadlines or external accountability. At least until I (hopefully) get a job. I guess my point for other fellow beginners if I had to make one is, listen to your mind and body. Don't force yourself to work against your mind when it needs some time. Most importantly, don't look at momentary burnout as the be all end all and quit. Just take some time off and try again in a day or two. If your mind still says "NO" then take another. The point is to just keep coming back to it consistently over time, and not give up even if you have to take a break. Consistency over intensity, every time! [link] [comments] |
Posted: 07 Oct 2020 10:50 PM PDT Hourglass of Stars I feel my head vs tail recursion is off here but I don't know what exactly is the problem. If anyone could give me any suggestions or advice to fix my code please comment below. Thanks! p.s. I have to use recursion and cannot use any sort of loops, range, shortcuts, etc. I would rather keep my code the way it is too. Also, this is scala syntax! Wanted output: How many stars do you want on the first line? 4 **** *** ** * * ** *** **** This is all the code I have so far: [link] [comments] |
Posted: 07 Oct 2020 10:37 PM PDT I'm working on improving the page load time of my site. I ran it through PageSpeed insights and I'm going to try to defer certain render-blocking resources. The problem is I can't determine whether to defer them or not if I don't actually know what they are. Some of the resources just look like a text file with thousands of symbols when I open them up, so I have no idea what the file does. Is there some way to interpret this? Beginner question I know.

Arduino practice problem resources? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 10:27 PM PDT So my microprocessor design class is using Arduino in the labs, and I went and found an Arduino "cheat sheet" on the web (the prof also gave us a link to an Arduino reference). That got me thinking - I'm generally bad at circuit design, but I've heard that Arduino is easy to use, and you can make super cool things with it. Does anyone know of a resource for Arduino practice problems so that I can hone my skills? I think there are project ideas on YouTube, but I want to have a decent grasp of the language before doing those. [link] [comments] |
(Python) How to make a code where you can select options in a menu? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 10:21 PM PDT You can tell from the title that I'm very new to this. I started learning programming about a week ago with Automate The Boring Stuff, and I've written a couple of program ideas I've had. All of those ideas have something to do with main menus and options you can select, which I have until now written like this: I know the title says otherwise since I technically can in fact write such codes, but my question specifically is: Would this be a good way of doing this or is there a better, more professional way of writing such code?

Posted: 07 Oct 2020 09:41 PM PDT URGENT...Need some ADVICE guys.. I have started learning python a few months ago and I'm through with the basics of python after doin the mit ocw 6.0001 course(intro to cs with python). After that, I did not continue with data structures and algo in python (which I suppose is the next step I had to take). Rather, I had started working on a small project (a mini web crawler) which made me learn a bit of MongoDB and a bit of http stuff (all the basic things which are required to know for making a crawler). I have completed the crawler just a few days back. And after that, I had applied for a college project(making a placement portal website) and was selected, which involved backend dev but the thing is, the project completely involves javascript (react, express and some other frameworks) . The main reason for which I applied for the project is I was desperate to fill my resume(it's almost empty ) as I will be sitting for campus placements(for an internship) in a few months and also I want to explore backend dev. The project involves MongoDB (the reason for which they selected me, as I was familiar with databases) but this time I have to use MongoDB with JS. And for contributing to the project, I need to learn JS(I have to, from scratch). I have to learn JS and start contributing in 1 month. The dilemma for me here is, I'm having doubts in learning a new language and forgetting python or not getting enough experience in python . I have not yet started learning DSA in python. Should I learn DSA in python and learn JS side by side or should I put a hold on DSA and learn JS and some framework in JS? I'm desperate to work on this project guys. Will it be possible to learn DSA in one language and learn another language from scratch side by side? Also can you suggest me any resources for learning DSA in python quickly and efficiently? Can you suggest me the next steps I have to take afterwards, for exploring backend dev and getting some experience in it? [link] [comments] |

Posted: 07 Oct 2020 09:24 PM PDT Hey, if user have given some value in function via scant. How can I call that value in another function to multiply that with specific number? (Program language C) [link] [comments] |
Where do you look for programming terminology? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 09:22 PM PDT Where can I find good explanations of programming terms? For example:
On many websites people use these terms interchangeably and I'm never sure what is what and which term should I use when asking a question. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 07 Oct 2020 09:21 PM PDT Hey all, I'm pretty anxious about a job interview for a Software Engineering position I have tomorrow with a company in the bay area. I am currently a junior web developer and I am trying to get to the next level by applying and trying to get a new position. I think I'm anxious because I feel like I'm not good enough (Imposter Syndrome) and I haven't done enough leetcode to be comfortable with it. I tend to look at the solutions and work backwards by trying to understand the problem. I feel like I'm very behind on what I'm trying to accomplish. Sometimes I feel like I'm stretching too far trying to get to the next level and I should be where I'm currently at. I feel stressed out too because it feels like there's so much for me to learn in so little time. [link] [comments] |
