Are there too many people in web dev ? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 06:15 AM PDT Since the pendemic started a lot of people lost their jobs and I've seen hundreds of people who turned to code. Firstly I think this is great, I don't mind if there are a thousand people who decided to code and switch jobs, what bothers me is quality. Seems like every person who can't get a job through their mechanical/electrical or even commerce degree decides to take a Udemy course and declare themselves a web developer. Now in some cases they take it seriously and that's good, but there's a few good developers out there and the excessive bad ones seem to be causing a decline in quality and less demand, atleast in my area which is really frustrating [link] [comments] | ||
Crashed my first production server Posted: 05 Oct 2020 09:12 AM PDT I wrote a script to convert some videos into another format and update the db once the conversion is completed. The thing is I forgot to close the connection to db after done with a record. After some point it hit the connection limit and the whole website went down for a couple hours. Whoo feels like I hit some kind of an milestone [link] [comments] | ||

Sorry to complain but this is hurting not helping, and I know a lot of web developers read this subreddit. [link] [comments] | ||

What tools are you using to ensure your website is meeting accessibility standards in the USA? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 07:08 PM PDT Specifically I am interested in site audit and testing tools but any insights will do. [link] [comments] | ||
Why bother with CRLF line endings in Windows? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 09:10 AM PDT In 6 years as a full stack dev, I've run into issues many times with crlf line endings finding their way into a program meant to be run on a Linux machine and causing havoc, but I've never seen anything bad happen the other way around, where somehow pure LF line endings cause issues for me developing/running something on a Windows machine. If I use my ide or linter to convert all line endings to LF, everything appear to work and run exactly the same on my Windows machine. Is windows fine with LF endings? Why wouldn't I just force git/my ide/linter etc to always use LF, even when I'm on Windows? Why does the core.autocrlf setting even exist in the global git config? [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 05 Oct 2020 05:55 AM PDT I don't know if I should switch career. Before starting out, I read that front end dev is a creative career, but I just don't see it in my everyday work. Sitting at the computer all day long and churning out code by following the design is just not my thing. How's your experience as a front end developer? [link] [comments] | ||
How do you deal with LinkedIn Recruiters? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 11:54 AM PDT Seriously, what's the deal? I get at least 5 DM's a week from these people asking if I'm interested in new opportunities. Anyone ever have success with a random recruiter? I'm happy at my current job. [link] [comments] | ||
Contract cancelled, what would you do? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 11:44 AM PDT A long standing project for my boss has started at last. I was originally offered a position in his new company with an outstanding opportunity to earn some serious money. He originally wanted to give me the contract before we build. He then changed his mind till it's completed, and no it's finally underway, he just took my contract off the table... And still wants it's built. Problem is, our team is employed by him. And he's now building the project during work hours. I feel like walking away entirely. Having it taken away twice has made me lose faith, trust and confidence in him. What would you do?

How much are you expected to know? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 10:16 AM PDT Let's see the true full-stack for a modern web application involves: SPA development(some JS framework like Angular, Vue, React) HTML, CSS, JavaScript skills Responsive Design Bootstrap, Material Design, CSS frameworks REST API development Microservice architecture NoSQL and SQL database design ORM, Data-access layer development Authentication(OAuth2, JWT, etc..) Docker/Kubernetes Testing Azure/AWS platform API knowledge - things like blob storage, serverless, app hosting, databases CI/CD How many of you do ALL of that and do it 10/10? Just curious because that is the unicorn companies keep advertising for and I wonder how often they get their man. [link] [comments] | ||
(HELP) Did this guy actually speed up my page ??? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 05:38 AM PDT So I hired a guy from Fiverr to optimize my page speed and I tested the speed with gtmetrix before. He said he finished working on the site but said GTmetrix is having an issue so he tested the site with another speed tested called Pingdom and my site is under 4 seconds which is good. But I tested my site just now on Gtmetrix and google page speed and the site is still very slow! The speed seems to be the same as before I hired him. I understand it says under 4 seconds on pingdom but I can't ignore the fact it's the same on GT metrix snd still slow according to google page speed I don't want to have cancel the order because I sell on Fiverr myself but I mean I feel he hasn't done what he said he would do. I'm not good with coding and web development so hopefully you guys can give me some insight. Thank you. [link] [comments] | ||

Client has botched backend code, can I do this? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 02:17 PM PDT So i know someone where they hired an overseas dev and they can't get the payment system right. I don't know the backend framework they're using (Laravel) but I'm confident I can do it in NodeJS. I know this isn't optimal at the least but should I have the app make an API call to my server containing the payment code that's hosted separately from the main backend? Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
How does your team handle hotfixes? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 02:02 PM PDT I know this is borderline devops and less related to webdev, but I'm asking it here because I know a lot of people in this subreddit deal with this. My team is currently struggling with some of the following questions related to hotfixes. (FYI we are following GitFlow). 1) should we allow the hotfix branch to be deployed to a lower environment like UAT to test? would this disrupt UAT if there's an active UAT cycle? 2) should we allow the hotfix branch to be deployed directly to production, so we can truly verify the fix in its appropriate environment before merging into master? 3) once we merge into master, is it okay if our master pipeline triggers another redundant deployment? How does your team address hotfixes? context: enterprise software with ~70,000 monthly active users [link] [comments] | ||
Is ASP.NET/AngularJS good enough for freelancing? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 08:23 AM PDT Most companies in my region use ASP.net and Angular, so I decided to learn them. My question is, if I was not able to find a job, is this stack good enough for freelancing on sites like Upwork? Especially as a beginner ? Also, Tailwind vs bootstrap, which is more common in freelancing? If this is not the case, I hope at least it will be easy to transition from ASP.net to PHP. EDIT: Sorry meant to say Angular9 [link] [comments] | ||
Why do I need to create my own web server for each project? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 09:14 AM PDT I'm currently following a course by Angela Yu and I started to learn about back-end development. After learning a bit about node.js, there was a module about express.js, which helps setting up a web server for your website. Up until this point, I used js files to create the "logic" of the app (i.e a symon game) but I have trouble figure out why I even need to create a web server? Why can't I put my code in the js files?

how does a tool like httptoolkit work? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 10:47 AM PDT You run it in terminal then it it's able to intercept http request even if they are over ssl? [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 05 Oct 2020 12:49 PM PDT Basically what the title says. I have been trying to use jQuery code to run inside a While Loop, and although the code runs once, it does not loop again. Whereas, the other non-jQuery code runs just fine and loops the specified number of times. Any help regarding this would be highly appreciated! I have provided an example of the code below: function whatIsLooping(){ $('#btn').fadeOut(); setTimeout(function(){ $('#btn').fadeIn(); }, 3000); } function loopTest() { var i=0; while ( i < 3) { whatIsLooping(); console.log('loop test') i++; } } loopTest(); [link] [comments] | ||

What skills do I need to get this website up? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 10:22 AM PDT So I had an idea for this website. Its a bit like YouTube. People can upload their video and have their own profile. There will also be a trending page. I'm 18 years old right now and was wondering what languages/ software skills do I need to know to pull this off. I currently know a little bit of HTML and CSS. Since people will be uploading videos I know I'll have to know backend development as well due to servers and databases. It would be great if you could help me know what other software skills like bootstrap or JavaScript do I need to learn as I intend to get this website up as soon as possible. Thank You [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 05 Oct 2020 03:45 PM PDT I'm not sure this is exactly the right subreddit for my question, but I'm not sure where else to ask it! I am building a webapp in which people create accounts and profiles and other people with accounts can interact with them. Nothing like, say, uber, but the same in the way that people have accounts and can rate the "workers". In my app, it's possible to for users to give workers a star rating (1-5). The rating is only seen by the account holder, like when you rate a tune in iTunes. Nowhere on the site does anyone (including the worker) see an average rating themselves or for anyone else, or see anyone elses individual ratings - a user can only see their own rating for a worker. I started with "Rating", then after showing it to some people I changed it to "Your Rating". There is help text, but new users still think it's a public or average statistic, or want to see what the average is, and I can't think of how to word something short (the label is beneath the 5 stars) that gets across this relatively simple concept that it's just to help them remember which workers they like.

Need help with conditional value Posted: 05 Oct 2020 11:56 AM PDT I have the above block of PHP, but I want to be able to conditionally not display the <tr> row if for example $_POST['name'] is not filled out. I have tried the following but it's giving me a 500 error. [link] [comments] | ||

Posted: 05 Oct 2020 11:53 AM PDT If you're a golfer and have used websites like golfnow.com or teeoff.com, it sucks when you have to keep refreshing in case any tee times get cancelled especially when you get a free afternoon. I'm not fluent in writing code but I'm wondering if it'd be difficult to create an add-on or a website that notifies you via email or text when an availability opens up during a specified time window. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
