    I failed a home assignment as part of an interview process, and interviewer is not giving feedback as to why. Anyone feel like helping out?

    Here's the test:

    Your task is to develop a reusable UI component that retrieves JSON data from a given URL and shows it in a tree view where nodes can be expanded and collapsed. The component should be able to handle any valid JSON, without any expectations regarding its structure. To clarify, please don't rely on a 3rd party component to render the tree, but rather implement a simple tree using basic HTML/CSS building blocks.

    The page that contains the component must be able to control the URL from which the data is obtained. The URL is assumed to be publicly available without authentication. Changing the URL should fetch the data and update accordingly.

    The choice of visual style and technology stack is up to you.

    And here's my solution code:

    https://github.com/danielm82/anon-test

    which I sent with this note:

    Note that APIs with CORS enabled will not work with the app. This could be fixed by routing the requests through a simple node.js express server (which I can do if you want), but I felt it was outside of the test parameters.

    In any case, here are some APIs I used to test the app:

    https://api.arcsecond.io/swagger.json

    https://breakingbadapi.com/api/characters

    Any feedback would be most appreciated

    A website that helps you practice web development skills through projects.

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 02:20 PM PDT

    Hello fellow web developers,

    A few months ago, I asked the community about their coding journey and what they were struggling with. One theme that was mentioned consistently was how it was difficult to get started building projects, despite them being a really good way to improve technical skills.

    Since then, I've created a website with several free projects to help others practice their JavaScript skills and ultimately showcase their work on their Github/portfolio.

    If you find this resource helpful, I'd appreciate you visiting the website and leaving any feedback or suggestions!

    Figma DIY: Building a color system plugin (a design-code tutorial)

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 09:13 AM PDT

    If I contributed just a little bit to a project, can I still put it on my resume and portfolio?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 02:46 PM PDT

    Basically another developer at my full time job built this pretty big web application.

    Once it was launched, I've added some small but useful features to it. Part of me is saying that I can't use it in my portfolio because I didn't build it, but I have built features into it that have brought business value.

    I just don't want to feel like a fraud in interviews talking about it.

    Would it still be okay for me to feature it on my portfolio and resume?

    Does putting WordPress on a resume hinder someone from getting interviews in today's 'modern' front end developer landscape?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 08:42 AM PDT

    Even though I used to build WordPress sites exclusively in the digital agency space, for the past two years I haven't done so. However, I did exclusively build WordPress sites for about 4 out of my 6 years of being a front end developer. So.. it is under my 'skills' section as well as in past jobs section when I list out technicalities.

    I did have a DM with someone a few months back on this subreddit, and she mentioned that once she removed WordPress from her resume, she notices a huge difference in interview callbacks for either front end developer or React positions.

    Is it really that bad to have WordPress on your resume, even though that's what you did use? I guess it's akin to having jQuery on your resume.

    How do I get two functioning slideshows on one page?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 02:54 PM PDT

    Please forgive me, I am a novice teenage developer so this may be a very inefficient way to do it, but here is the code I came up with:

    var slideIndex = 1;
    showSlides(slideIndex);
    // Next/previous controls
    function plusSlides(n) {
    showSlides(slideIndex += n);
    }
    // Thumbnail image controls
    function currentSlide(n) {
    showSlides(slideIndex = n);
    }
    function showSlides(n) {
    var i;
    var slides = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides");

    if (n > slides.length) {slideIndex = 1}
    if (n < 1) {slideIndex = slides.length}
    for (i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) {
    slides[i].style.display = "none";
    }
    slides[slideIndex-1].style.display = "block";
    }
    var slideIndex2 = 1;
    showSlides2(slideIndex2);
    // Next/previous controls
    function plusSlides2(n) {
    showSlides2(slideIndex2 += n);
    console.log("It worked");
    }
    // Thumbnail image controls
    function currentSlide2(n) {
    showSlides2(slideIndex2 = n);
    }
    function showSlides2(n) {
    var i;
    var slides = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides2");

    if (n > slides.length) {slideIndex2 = 1}
    if (n < 1) {slideIndex2 = slides.length}
    for (i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) {
    slides[i].style.display = "none";
    }
    slides[slideIndex2-1].style.display = "block";
    }

    The issue I am having is that only one of them appears visibile while the other one just has an outline with no picture. How do I fix this?

    Is there a way for the end user to tell if an SSL is using DV, OV, or EV?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 10:45 AM PDT

    We had a commercial SSL cert expire over the weekend and the client is understandably fussed over it.

    In my view there's no reason why we can't just have a Let's Encrypt SSL running on the server set to autorenew.

    I'm pretty sure the commercial SSL that was already set up on the server is only DV level, but I'm not sure how to verify that myself, I don't know what I should be looking for.

    news website idea.

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 04:22 PM PDT

    in order to combat clickbait, had an idea for a website...

    rather than base revenue on clicks per article, it'll be a point based system similar to reddit. community upvotes give points, fact checking gives points, but not specifically via number of views. system'd need a little tweaking and reworking over time to get it just right, but by doing this and basing ad payout on these metrics instead of clicks, and by adding minus points for things like disproven points or misleading titles, i think a community could be built pretty quickly.

    the key would be ad revenue. it couldn't be plastered with sketchy ads like so many "news" sites nowadays, and the ads cannot be article specific. throw up a disclaimer saying the ads have nothing to do with the content or something legal, and make it so if you advertise with the site, you ad could literally appear in any article on the site. the point of this is to pool ad revenue rather than issue out percentages per click. article revenue would then be issued based on the point system when compared to the competing pages and total pool of revenue available after basic costs.

    i feel like i might be missing something though.... maybe a way to prevent the echo chamber effect, but not sure.

    Where can I get better at HTML and CSS

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 04:23 AM PDT

    I know many people ask it and I know that the most common response would be build something by yourself, which is actually what I do but I don't like the way it looks. I would love to make more beautiful pages. I am good at backend but nowday fullstack skills are valued a lot. So what could you suggest me? Thank you in advance:)

    Anyone use eHopper POS with WooCommerce?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 03:49 PM PDT

    ehopper tutorial use Lightsail but the store I run isn't hosted there and satisfied with the current host. Asking "tech support" why Lightsail only gets "it's what we tested it on." So it should be possible on another host I assume as it's just linking and syncing. It looks like its just downlosd their package, sudo and sync in the admin. Anyone use it before? Any issues on a non Amazon host? Tips?

    WebDev Help

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 03:36 PM PDT

    I just wanna say thank you to all the helpful users on this sub group!

    Posted: 11 Oct 2020 07:37 PM PDT

    I went to school for music production/audio engineering and have ran into situations where a more novice producer is loading me up with questions that didn't fully make sense due to lack of knowledge on correct terminology and just lack of knowledge in music production. I tried to answer the best I could but stuff wasn't clicking or there was just 5 more follow up questions. It can get frustrating and annoying.

    Well I'm that novice newbie guy today. The roles have done a complete 180. I asked a decent amount of questions on this group today that were super basic and tough to understand (cause my terminologies off) but I still was showered with helpful replies and multiple different ways of explaining the answer from some kinda users.

    It sucks being bad at something but this group has really helped me out a lot!

    Best practice for a static login variable?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 09:58 AM PDT

    For context, I'm using Blazor as I'm primarily a C# dev and trying to dip my toes into web dev.

    I want to store the user's information in a globally-accessible variable when they log in, which is otherwise null if they are logged out. So, where and how should I implement this? I've been thinking, should I have a Javascript file that only stores a class with a static variable and initialize that on the host page?

    Thanks in advance. :)

    Traumatized by a past firing even though I landed on my feet

    Posted: 11 Oct 2020 06:11 PM PDT

    It's like that one breakup that still haunts you even though you're in a better relationship for you now.

    3 years ago, I was fired. 50% of the reasoning I could see why. The other 50%, I still don't know to this day. I can speculate and believe me, I've been going over it in my mind many times. I don't really care for the exact reasons anymore because I've landed on my feet. In fact, and I know this is cliche but it really is like that Steve Jobs saying about how you can only see the dots connecting looking back. I think it's made me into a stronger professional and I think in the long term, it was a good move for me. If I had stayed with that company, it wouldn't have lasted long as they didn't do especially well and COVID was kinda the nail in the coffin.

    But I can't help but take it personally. It's like someone with PTSD. Something will happen at work and I'll over-analyze it as a sign that I'm about to be fired. I'm like a paranoid person and there's already been a few times where I've reacted with angry emails. It damages my career and my reputation and all the hard work and results I've gotten.

    Mainstream media always tells the story of the "it worked out in the end." Like the character suffered some major setbacks and trauma but found his/her way and lived happily ever after. Except that's not how it works.

    Past trauma or heartbreaks, even if you've recovered and you're in a better situation now, it continues to haunt.

    It's like a divorce or a devastating breakup. And you don't know exactly why that person left. Like you kinda know part of it but not the whole picture because they for some reason won't tell you. So you're left wondering, "am I shitty person?" "Am I a piece of garbage?"

    This trauma has seeped into my personal life. My girlfriend can't understand it. She doesn't really know the details of what I do but to her, I recovered and I'm doing well now. Those bastards were wrong. Not as simple as that. The people who fired me, I respected and trusted them. They were people I had known professionally for a long time. I thought I had the same respect from them.

    It seeps into my personal life. There are many times on weekends and evenings where something will trigger it and it brings me into this spiral. If I'm drinking alcohol, sometimes I'll get into this angry mood swing. There was even a time when I responded to a work email angrily over the weekend and the poor guy on the other side totally didn't deserve it but something he said triggered an emotion.

    One silver lining is that I've had to fire people recently. And if I have to get rid of someone, I'm very honest about their shortcomings. It's partly because I'm a blunt person but also because I want them to learn a lesson.

    It's better than the way I was fired. I wish they had sat down with me and explained to me what had gone wrong and why I was being fired. I think that would have brought an easier closure.

    Instead, it's kinda like how that ex-girlfriend of yours one day just said, "yeah I don't have feelings for you anymore. don't ask why."

    It's hurtful. Especially for a dedicated professional like me. Work isn't everything. But work and your profession takes up a large chunk of your life. And we've all worked hard for it. I'm proud of the things I've accomplished along the way and I think I bring value to all the organizations I've been a part of.

    A large part of my self-identity and pride comes from my professional life.

    Sorry for the rambling.

    Any tips when trying to pretty format a huge HTML file?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 07:38 AM PDT

    I am trying to pretty format a HTML file that is easily 50 MB.

    I am using HTML Tidy. But it is taking a lot of time... in fact it is still running. Not sure if it will succeed. My computer is very low spec. (Core 2 Duo, 4 GB ram)

    Any tips to speed it up? Is there a better tool? (I am guessing fast xml parsers written in C, but I really a n00b so...)

    Declining a Coding Interview

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 03:52 AM PDT

    I currently work as a manual software tester, so I don't write a lot of code. However, I want to get a new role in development.

    I am to have a coding interview but I want to decline? Because I know my skills are below par and I wouldn't want to waste the interviewers time.

    I'm thinking I should decline and explain my reason in the mail, then go ahead to sharpen my skills.

    Would that be okay? Please help, this decision is stressing me out. Thank you
