| Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread Posted: 01 Oct 2020 05:10 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: Front End Frameworks (React/Vue/Etc) 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. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Job Search is starting to get me down, looking for some Feedback. Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:27 PM PDT Hey ya'll. Sorry if this is a long one, but I have a lot I want to share to kinda give the whole story, and where my brain is at because I think im starting to get a little to down on myself and I don't want it to affect my job search since its pretty important I get something. So far I have sent out close to 500 applications over 5 months, and have reached about 10 final interviews, and did an internship(pre-seed startup) in between these 5 months of a job search. 90% of the interviews have also been for Bay Area based companies as I live in San Francisco. I have put countless hours into pretty extensive take-home's across a diverse plain of languages, and frameworks. I really put a lot of effort into my cover letters for companies I find I would really enjoy, and I really think i express a lot of positivity and hunger to learn and grow with a good team. I would say im a Generalist Software Engineer, or even Full stack engineer, I don't know though names have been always weird for me, I just like to code, and will figure whatever it is out. Its kinda always been like that since I was young writing scripts for bots in RuneScape and what not, and slowly moving to robotics, then the web in college. So a little back story too, I have been coding since I was probably 12-13. I wrote in java and C++ when I was younger then did more javascript in college. In college I had a little bit of personal dilemmas with how I saw things. I had left home at 18 1/2 years old, and was completely on my own across the country supporting my way through college, and decided I go against the grain like a happy go lucky idiot my last year (I mean this in the most loving way for myself) :), so I ended up leaving college a year before getting my Applied Math degree, and walking vertically across America twice. I literally threw out or gave away every single thing I owned, deleted my GitHub(This is the one thing I regret to this day !!HUGE LESSON-dont delete your Github!!), and a-lot of other platforms I was on and kinda just went for it. It was the best decision for me as it taught me a shit load of super important lessons and values about life which were absent for me. It also made me realize that I was extremely lucky to have something like coding, and a love for math. It was a no brainer, I had enjoyed my adventures, and some (rode a bike across the U.S with my bud not to long after the second trip) and had decided I would enroll in App Academy, and put myself around some like minded individuals and kinda fast track my way back in the tech trajectory. Here I am now 5 months after I graduated, passed the TripleByte generalist exam, and continuing to code or study A LOT! I have always had a huge passion with cryptography since college, and network protocols so i tend to read a lot about both, as well as work on side projects, and cool unique niches such as steganography. I think one response that has really been killing me is 'Were looking for someone a little more senior thanks.' I cant express how much that didn't tilt me early on with final round interviews to how much it tilts me now after putting so much fucking effort into companies interview process. Like I end up getting such good feedback from the engineer/engineer's and have really good technicals to getting shat out an elephants ass by HR. Its just been pretty painful lately. Like this morning, I put this on, put my headphones on and paced my room for 3 hours just jamming to this playing air guitar. Im literally losing my mind. Incredible song though. I guess im just looking for some advice/criticism. Maybe im doing something wrong, maybe i need to change my attitude. I really don't know. I have so much more to learn and contribute to, im so hungry to work and crush it but damn I just need someone to put that trust in me. I'll also attach a link to my Github, and maybe some more senior engineers here can maybe point to some projects they rather see that would be a better seller of my knowledge and skills. Thanks again for reading through this novel. I apologize it being so long, I just needed to write i guess. EDIT: Heres my portfolio site as well. One thing the portfolio desperately needs which i should really take care of is loading the large geojson data on to the map. It takes about 16 seconds to query then load I think its 20 MB worth of geojason data which is horrible. I should really take care of that because I dont think itll be that difficult to increase load time but yea thats one criticism i definitely think about my portfolio. [link] [comments]  | ||
| I need help I don't know what I should do Posted: 01 Oct 2020 05:28 AM PDT I work as remote, Recently my company require me to install a software that share my live screen ALL THE TIME (8hrs) because they're on a deadline and they think my performance is getting low even though nothing changed, but they just don't understand how much this task requires time and we're on stage that things are just harder than before. How would deal with this situation when there's no trust left between both parties? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Do people actually respond well to sites where things move around and shift as you scroll? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 08:38 AM PDT I was going to this site: https://store.google.com/product/chromecast_google_tv (on desktop fwiw) and it's so disorienting. I hate it so much. So my question I guess, is: Did someone do research on features that people like on websites? A company like Google would surely know what's best, what's going to get them the most sales, etc., but I just can't imagine someone going to a site like that, feeling like it's intuitive, and responding more positively than a much simpler site. Do sites like these get made because they're "impressive" to their bosses? Is a developer just excited and flexing or something? Who does this serve/benefit and who is happy with the result? I'm not totally trying to criticize it. Maybe it has its merits and maybe it IS effective, I just don't understand and would love to know what the consensus is on things like this. edit: also I'm not trying to single this site out. I wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't see sites like this all the time. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Is there a JS library to move elements horizontally on scroll? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 01:31 PM PDT Are there any javascript libraries to target elements on a page and move them horizontally/vertically and change things like opacity based on scroll position? I'm trying to do an effect like this website: https://wordpress.com/ Would ScrollMagic be the best tool for this? If I can't find a good solution I'm going to write my own library for this. Thanks for your help. If you have any advice at all about the best way to emulate that Wordpress homepage I would be grateful! Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Quick Ballpark Figure - How much would you charge for this web project? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 04:54 PM PDT Super quick ballpark figure. What would you charge? Doesn't have to be super accurate. Can be a range or a rough number.

| How does the lighthouse performance metric work? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 04:36 PM PDT The website I'm looking at had a poor performance score (11) with the worst offender by tenfold being that offscreen images are not deferred on page load (for a 25s savings). After implementing a lazy loading system it no longer complains about the offscreen images, however it still has a score of 11. I've also looked around at multiple sites and everybody has a poor score. How does this work, why did I get no improvement to the score despite the savings? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:57 PM PDT Hi Web Wizards - Does anyone know of a good Parallax library or similar that's particularly efficient, not relying on jQuery and can be used on DIVs rather than image tags/background images. I only know of Rellax but it can be temperamental and it's many, many options are verbose. [link] [comments]  | ||
| How many hours to build an online marketplace? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 05:08 AM PDT I'm curious to know how many hours it takes to build an online marketplace such as an auction website in Next JS? I want to know because currently I am on 160 hours building an app for a client using Next JS and I think it'll take around 300 hours. Am I taking to long? [link] [comments]  | ||
| American Express Transaction API Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:13 PM PDT Anyone know if how I can get access to an API or something that allows me access to my own american express transactions? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Salaries seem very low on r/remotejs Posted: 01 Oct 2020 12:13 AM PDT Hi all, I just have a question on what a experienced web dev usually earns? I looked at most most "for hire" posts on r/remotejs, most people who have 5~10 years of experience are asking for 20 dollar per hour. I'm wondering if that is the norm in the industry? It seems quite undervalued as they all have worked with more than 5 different languages and frameworks, if that translates to 20 dollars it is very scary! I hope it's not a stupid question.

| just seeing other web developer portfolios makes me feel bad and dumb. Posted: 30 Sep 2020 08:46 PM PDT I've been learning web development for the past 4 months and I have finished one of the many online courses I purchased Udemy, I decided to look for portfolio examples and I was just blown away with how people have designed their portfolios and projects I'm not sure whether I'll get a job with the knowledge I have, that was such a confidence shattering experience.

| Are opacity: 0 and visibility: hidden the same? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 01:41 PM PDT I know they differ in terms of pointer events, but are they the same when it comes to rendering and is it necessary to add a visibility: hidden after a fade transition? This is what I found when changing a div element's text in Chrome 85:
^ I don't know if these test methods are conclusive. [link] [comments]  | ||
| React, Django / DRF, and Azure Active Directory Posted: 01 Oct 2020 09:41 AM PDT First time trying to implement something that uses third party (i.e. Microsoft, Facebook, Google, etc) authentication. Have a ReactJS microservice and a DJango / DRF API microserivce. It is just a portal employees use and we want to have them use the Azure Active Directory credentials instead of maintaining another set of credentials. Just curious if anyone has had to do this implementation before and any pointers. Any particular libraries to avoid? Also, hard to find any material on this particular implementation, so I imagine I'm to have to find a ReactJS AAD library and get it working with a Django AAD library. Understandably, the documentation so far assumes that if you are using ReactJS you are using ExpressJS; Django, then you are using Django to serve ReactJS. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 12:29 PM PDT I'm looking to get an app developed for a my business's MVP. To cut down on costs the agency recommended a PWA instead of a native iOS or Android app. I'm not sure how many people would actually download a PWA, though. Apple continuously makes users feel safe when using their products and services, and I'm afraid people aren't going to install something that isn't from the Apple App Store itself, even with a pop up that directs them to install it on their home screen. Should I just go for the native app or would a PWA be fine? [link] [comments]  | ||

| How can I make 1-5MB images load faster? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 12:16 PM PDT I'm building a simple image gallery portfolio site for my friend as a first project. I've been learning web dev for about 2 months and I only know HTML, CSS, JS, and some Git version control. The website has been looking nice and i'm pretty proud of what it looks like so far, only problem is the images (only 22 pics so far. still need to add more) take too long to load. I've compressed them on image compressor websites and I got them down to around 1-5MB each. If I go any lower, the images look bad and low quality. How can I work through this?
