    Is it normal to feel like complete trash after failing a technical interview?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 12:12 AM PST

    I'm a self taught front end focused dev (no degree or any sort), and my portfolio has been able to land me a few callbacks from employers.

    unfortunately, I've failed the technical aspect of the last few interviews.

    I've received questions like "is sass case sensitive? true or false". the question itself is so easy, and i've built pretty complex projects, I've just never really thought about whether it's actually case sensitive..

    to summarize, I feel like garbage (I'm not looking for sympathy of any sort) after the technical interviews.. I'm wondering if this is a normal way to feel, when applying for your first role

    At what point did you consider yourself "proficient" at coding?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 01:08 PM PST

    Hello All,

    Some background about me:

    • Corporate Finance professional currently working on launching a legal tech startup.
    • Working with a developer to develop an MVP (productivity platform)
    • Currently learning HTML, CSS, and Javascript

    I have only been learning to code for about a month and a half now. So far I've built a coming soon landing page, a very basic website, a sign-up page with "sign-in" "sign up" toggle tabs, and a calculator - all using HTML, CSS, and JS.

    Now of course I am making a ton of rookie mistakes. For example, while building the calculator I kept getting an error message in my console log and my js wasn't loading and it was because I linked the js file in the header of the HTML file along with the CSS file (LOL). I constantly am forgetting the ";" after functions in JS, and sometimes my "()" are spaced too far apart, i.e.: background-image: url (pic1.jpg).

    I know I still have a lot to learn and I am far from being "good" at coding. What was the moment when some of you realized that you were proficient (this may mean different things to everyone) or at least really really good?

    TLDR: when did you know/feel like you were good at coding?

    Is this a new way for a website to interfere with ad/content blocker? Whenever I want to pick a specific content to block, the website goes blank.

    Looking for a good current site that offers stock graphics such as svg graphics or icons.

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 02:18 PM PST

    I really focused on programming in my stack that I couldn't really create nice logos or graphics on my own. Looking to see if there are some good sites you all use for these?

    LPT: Comments are the holy savior

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 08:07 AM PST

    Mods, please remove if this is not allowed.

    I just wanted to share that if you are new to creating websites or a veteran. Please use comments in your work. It helps others who go back quickly identify what something is doing and also when if you quit working on something and come back to it. You can read your comments and quickly get back up to speed.

    E.G. I am currently working on a project and I am having to sift through the code to remove all the extra code that is not needed. But if it had comments, I would be able to easily identify what each part of the code does.

    Good intermediate-advance fullstack web dev courses?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 01:23 PM PST

    I'm a SWE with a few years of experience doing some java and python work, backend and systems work mostly. I enjoy my current work however I want to move back towards a more-product or fullstack oriented role. I have some web development experience from personal projects, school projects, and a little bit of backend work in java from work however I was looking for an online course that can help bring me back up to speed with more modern tech stacks (thinking along the lines of javascript/typescript, maybe a framework, etc) as well as working end-to-end from building UIs to deploying on the cloud. Does anyone know of a good course(s) that covers this kind of stuff?

    I have Colt Steele's Web Development Bootcamp from a while back and saw it was updated recently, would that suffice to cover intermediate-advanced topics as well or is there something better out there?

    Thanks!

    Feeling down about peoples hate for PHP

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 04:27 AM PST

    I'm a young developer been doing it for 3 years or so now and mainly I know the general HTML,CSS,JS and PHP.

    I'm wanting to build my portfolio and make cool projects but every agency I speak to keep telling me that React and VUE ect are the most employable which is sad to me because I am not a fan of them. I love PHP. I'm in the midst of doing a CS degree at uni and every student mentions their hate for PHP meanwhile I'm thinking I love how lightweight and easy to use it is.

    What I'm trying to ask is, even though PHP isn't favoured by many if I want to make projects using it would it still be worth it and will it get me employed in the future? Or should I just listen to all the agencies and improve my skills on React ect...

    Hearing everyone's hate for PHP makes me feel like I should hate it too and that it isn't worth my time.

    Codelab?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 01:49 PM PST

    Hi, what's a codelab?

    I was trying to do the tutorial for yeoman (https://yeoman.io/codelab/index.html) and it just referred to itself as a "codelab" without explanation. I can find lot's of examples, which make them seem like:

    Damned if I can find a straight answer on the definition of "codelab", though.

    Thanks.

    Does D3 play nicely with Vue or React? Is there a better charts option nowadays?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 02:56 PM PST

    Title says it all. I'll be building a data-focused app and good data visualization will be a huge part of it. I'll need to be able to take data from users, put it into a db, call from database, and display nice charts and graphs on the frontend. Concerned with the frontend playing nicely with a data viz library. I need enough functionality on the frontend to justify the use of Vue or React, so that's already decided. Thanks!

    On Choosing a Web Framework

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 01:46 PM PST

    One way of choosing a framework is by its language: if I code in python then I choose Django, if javascript then Node, if Ruby then RoR and so on. But, is this the right approach to choosing it?

    I know that a lot of great startups use RoR for all of their platforms, because, for what I've read, it has a bunch of stuff that makes it easy to ship quickly. Why is it? which are those features? is it because of gems? how does that differ from, say, npm packages?

    What sort of things I can accomplish with one framework that with other don't?

    What am I missing that its important to look when taking this decision?

    How many libraries does a commercial React + Node application use?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 01:43 PM PST

    I'm sure the question can vary a lot, but I'm curious about anyone's professional experience. I try to avoid adding too many libraries to my projects nowadays but I wonder if I should try using more just for the hell of it, or if that's a dumb idea.

    Really Confused on Solutions for my Forum Website please provide clarity

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 01:41 PM PST

    So I would like to learn web dev and get a forum website up and running. In my research people keep suggesting stuff like flarum and what not but what exactly are these? I was under the impression I would code and have to use like azure or aws server infrastructure to host. But what are these prebuilt stuff like flarum? Do i code on top of them if i want functionality or....? Is it boiler code or are these 100% built and established solutions for people who want websites but dont care about learning the process and coding? Im lost..

    Ways to let users record and upload lots of audio to my site without actually using any of my storage?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 01:36 PM PST

    Is there some sort of Third party tool that could handle this record and storage function of audio?

    Edit: Users' uploaded audio needs to be playable by other users.

    API token added to GitHub Secrets in my repo, deploying GitHub Pages, how do I access this Secret in Javascript? (Simple Node.js project)

    API token added to GitHub Secrets in my repo, deploying GitHub Pages, how do I access this Secret in Javascript? (Simple Node.js project)

    https://preview.redd.it/i5a33pqazk961.png?width=1149&format=png&auto=webp&s=62a99e99bdf589d0d1120ed8865ea09f3a9454fa

    This is added to the GitHub pages branch.

    My package.json
    at the moment looks like this:

    { "name": "project", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "project", "main": "app.js", "dependencies": { "dotenv": "^8.2.0", "gh-pages": "^3.1.0" }, "devDependencies": {}, "scripts": { "deploy": "gh-pages -d ." }, "author": "", "license": "ISC", "homepage": "https://steviejeebies.github.com/github-pages-test" } 

    Up until now, I've stored my Token in a token.js file (which was in .gitignore), imported that into my HTML through a <src>.

    When I've deployed the app with npm run deploy, I don't know exactly how to access this token value. What do I have to change in package.json, and in my Javascript?

    How to make API calls from my **possibly flask** backend

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 01:02 PM PST

    Any suggestions welcomed!

    I was playing with IBM cloud services and interacting with their APIs in Python. I managed to used the service to achieve what I intended to do but I want to build a front-end for this functionality (for my own usage and learning purpose). I understand I shouldn't be putting my API credentials on the front-end so I'm thinking maybe I'll have a back-end to keep my credentials and make API calls to the IBM servers for me. I'm thinking of Flask because it's light weight and suitable for my simple task (I think) and it's in Python. My experience with web dev is plain vanilla HTML, CSS and some JavaScript.

    I skimmed through some YouTube tutorials about Flask and they seem to be focusing on two types: 1). making a REST API; 2). connect with a database to perform some CRUD operations. So not exactly what I'm trying to do (I'm obviously a beginner). I'm pretty lost so my questions are basically:

    1. Is my task achievable with Flask and is Flask a good option?
    2. where do I go from here?

    Thank you for reading and hope to hear your feedback!

    Hackerrank Front End Web Dev Test

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 12:43 PM PST

    Hey y'all it's me again. Almost 1 week into my job search journey and after about like 25 applications I'm at 6 rejections and one hacker rank coding test I was invited to take this morning for an internship position.

    The test is due by 1/18 so that's a good window for me to take advantage of. As of late I've been working on being proficient in scss, but now that's this came up I wanted to ask for you guys' opinion on the best way to prepare for this and which resources I should use.

    Also if you have any experience with a front end hackerrank test please let me know! I'm assuming it'll mostly be writing logic with vanilla JavaScript.

    How much should I quote this client?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 12:14 PM PST

    I've potentially landed an awesome freelance project for a record label that needs a website for one of their artists. They are asking me for estimates on both:

    1) a single page website that includes links to socials and artist photos

    or

    2) a multipage website that includes the above as well as more content

    What would you quote on either?

    Not sure if this is relevant info, but I use HTML, CSS, JS & React.

    I built a Google Photos clone as community project an looking for Ideas / Tips / Contributors

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 11:41 AM PST

    Photos.network is an open source project for self hosted photo management. Its core features are: - Share photos with friends, family or public - Filter / Search photos by attributes like location or date - Group photos by objects like people of objects

    The project is in early development right now, and lacks a frontend. So it would be nice to get some feedback and ideas or at best some contributors.

    Requirements: - run on low level hardware (rasperry pi, odin) - caching support - beginner friendly code (increase the willingness of new contributors)
