    Can you automate Lighthouse tests?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 01:17 PM PST

    I'm looking for a way to automate Lighthouse tests. Like to test my list of production websites once a day, so I can see the variance, and probably have an overtime progression of how its going.

    I would prefer something I can install on my server that will just query and save the result, maybe with an interface to see the results overtime, or a free service website like UptimeRobot could do.

    I really got no luck trying to google 'lighthouse automate testing'. Just gives me a ton of just straight lighthouse links.

    When choosing your Top Level Domain make sure you select one that’s not a country with high levels of terrorist activity or maritime piracy.

    I'd like to use Notion at work, but because the Notion team selected .so as their TLD the website is blocked on my work network(Army).

    .so = Somalia

    Your url may be clever or trendy, but you may be inadvertently limiting your user base.

    Have a second interview but it's in person, I do not have the money for a suit, how bad is it?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 07:42 AM PST

    I have dress pants, shoes and a button up shirt but cannot afford a blazer and tie right now. How harshly do recruiters judge in the field for this? All the interviews I've had have been over zoom and business casual.

    I don't understand tokens (auth/refresh)

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 08:13 AM PST

    If a user can always see my refresh token, whether saved in localhost or cookie or ... well httpOnly cookie, since they can get it from dev console. What's the point of having 2 tokens ? one short lasting and other long lasting ? If a person who steals my refresh token can use it to get new auth tokens anytime they want, why should I have 2 ?
    I read an article that suggests to save refresh token in httpOnly cookie since it isn't accessible by JS so less prone to attacks. It also suggests to save auth token in a local variable!

    So I have following issues:

    - If I save auth token in local variable, it doesn't persist on refresh, so say.... right after login, If I redirect the user to dashboard page, even then I'll need to make the get auth token request using my refresh token and save it again, on the other hand , most persisting mechanisms make use of localStorage, so again that doesn't make sense

    - Even if I were to find a way to save neither of them in localstorage or normal cookies, anyone can just come and check cookies in my browser :/ and if we are not concerned about that, then why have 2 tokens ? I can simply use one token and use it in httpOnly cookie. Why have the overhead of another short lasting token and refreshing it ?

    Are these correct responsibilities of a web dev?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 10:42 AM PST

    Hi there, so I've been with this company for about 3 years now, and I'm getting kind of burnt out. Not on web dev, but in my responsibilities at the company. You could say we are kind of like a startup, and I feel like a contractor since COVID hit there's been little to no proper collaboration with any team members.

    Anyways, I am wondering if these are the tasks of a web developer or if I'm spreading myself too thin, this isn't really what I signed up for, I wanted to just code and manage my tasks regarding coding, as well as work with other developers and meet with them, but instead, I'm doing this:

    1. Managing our clients via basecamp and Kayako ticketing system - hosting meetings with them, and gathering project requirements. All checking my emails and managing clients there.
    2. Creating estimates for entire projects on an excel spreadsheet, which usually go 100s of hours over my estimate since they rush the estimates to be done in a day or two for massive projects.
    3. On top of that, they also expect around 130 hours of BILLABLE tracked time per month, that's not learning time but tracked work.
    4. Working on 3-4 different things per day, can't spend too much time focusing on one thing or everything else slips.

    Gladly they don't expect overtime, but they would welcome it if I were crazy enough to actually try to close up all the tasks. I constantly feel behind and not getting anywhere, even though I'm closing off tasks every day.

    My friends work at product companies that used to work here, and they say it's super chill they just get a project and finish it within their sprints, no client meetings, crazy estimates, etc. They have proper project managers to do all that. The only reason this company is still a startup feel is cause they can't scale as we're not making enough money.

    I love my career but this is giving it a bad taste, and yes I am applying to other places and trying to get out, it's just been hard with the holidays and COVID. I want a job where I can just code, and do discussions internally, but mainly focus on code. I don't expect there to be none of the stuff above at all, but I feel like I'm wearing TOO many hats, with crazy expectations.

    Is this reasonable? I know a lot of people probably work at crazy companies too, and it's a tough career, but there has to better places where the focus is more code? are all agencies this bad?

    Thanks

    Need guidance on completely redesigning an already done project's interface

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 04:05 PM PST

    Hello

    this is my first time dealing with another programmer's code and not starting the entire project from scratch by myself..

    i was given a certain visualisation website, it is just one html page..i was given a new UI design using Adobe XD and asked to redesign the site to it while maintaining almost the same functionality..i completed the UI design within a day, it was the easiest part..

    but when it came to integrating the scripts into it i completely stalled, the code was all over the place, there are many in-understandable comments and many commented chunks of code, the original HTML document had script tags all over the place (usually scripts come in the end of the body tag or in the head tag) but here i see "random' script tags between elements and i don't know what to do with them..also many of the scripts alter the interface dynamically in a way that won't be needed with the new design..i thought of just typing most of the codes by myself and just taking the original visualisation functionality codes from the old project but it's so messy i can't find where is which..

    there is a "documentation" that just describes how and what the project does, no flow-charts, no function description, and no user-case diagrams either, also it mentions that a framework which was used in the beginning of the project but then it was left out..the codes and framework files are still there though and i can't recognise which is which

    my deadline is the 10th of this month, this project would be a great opportunity for me as where i live any opportunities are almost zerofied in these times especially for fresh grads..

    i'm sure many programmers went through similar experiences in their beginnings, any tips or guidance on how to deal with this issue would be gratefully appreciated!

    Any designers want to team up?..

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 03:55 PM PST

    I'm working on a personal project and I'd like to team up with someone who enjoys doing web design.

    I want to continue to work on the functionality of the site but a good design requires a lot of time as well. So if you enjoy HTML,CSS, flexbox, CSS grid, colours, layouts, icons, UI/UX then feel free to reach out to me.

    Thanks

    Debugging web performance with the Chrome DevTools Network tab

    I start my first ever job as a web developer and it's likely it will start remote due to lockdown

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 11:07 AM PST

    Hello Reddit, I landed my first ever job as a web developer last month and start late January, however due to recent spikes in covid cases (UK) it is very likely I will be starting during lockdown.

    Now, it's natural to be nervous at the start on any new career, and for me, being in the office getting used to my new colleagues and environment is very important to adapting and excelling at a role. But because it's likely starting my job during lockdown, the company will be forced to work remotely.

    Now this scares the heck out of me, because I never worked in this industry before and the guidance and experience in office would be valuable. Personally, I would not even know how to start or what to even do when a junior starts a job at home.

    I think I won't be alone in regards to other juniors also starting, so I would love to ask what advice or what to expect as a junior developer starting remotely during a pandemic?

    Thank you for taking the time to help junior developers feel more at ease when starting a new job remotely :)

    Courses you should pick up during Udemy's New Year Sale

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 02:52 PM PST

    If you are beginner with no prior experience in web development, and are ready to take yourself to the next level and learn to code I recommend:

    Those were the first two courses I ever paid for. Prior to buying them I learned almost exclusively via W3Schools and a shit ton of YouTube videos. What courses do you recommend?

    Why are Smart TV Browsers terrible and will they ever get better?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 02:42 PM PST

    The connected/smart TV market is quite fragmented: Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Samsung, LG, Apple TV, Android TV, etc. Yet from my experience, none of these have good browsers that can run web applications. While I haven't tested each of these, I just tested my (relatively new) LG TV and I could not load Reddit on the web browser.

    My question is why do these devices not have good browsers? Is it really that hard for these devices to have the ability to run Chrome or Firefox?

    Right now it seems like web developers are kind of kicked out of the smart TV ecosystem. Do you think this will change going forward?

    Is it normal/healthy to feel so worthless when you take time to code or aren't able to code?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 10:40 AM PST

    Posting this in this community because I'm currently interning as a software developer.

    I just, it's so difficult. This internship had made me grow ALOT but at the cost of my mental health. Never have I felt like such a loser before. I have always gotten good grades, I've never faced something like this before.

    It has been nine months, and still, when I'm not able to solve the problem fast or make a logic fast enough, I feel like utter shit. The opposite is pretty true too. Whenever I actually feel like I learned something, or finished the tasks on time, I am seriously so happy. But the thing is, I learn something everyday, even if I get my work done or not, because that's the stage I am in.

    I shouldn't feel this upset and anxious right? I have terrible, terrible anxiety when I have to start a new project. This is my third and it just never gets easy. I hate how the feeling of worth depends so much on my work.

    I'm sorry if this post seems like a mess, I was just really upset. I probably could have done a better job explaining my situation. Sorry about that.

    Relative beginner looking to add (I think) something a bit complicated to my website - any advice?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 02:05 PM PST

    Hello my guys, I am a relative noob with very little coding experience. I have built a few websites before but these have been pretty basic.

    I have created a website for one of my hobbies using wordpress with the elementor plugin as I find it easy to use. I am looking to have a page where you can check if a certain item is available on one or more platforms. An example using apps would be -

    Is <type in app name> available to download?

    and the return below it would be:

    App X is available on iOS store

    App X is available on Android store

    I would think that if I had a CSV file or similar with the apps available for each platform then it could look up to the table and provide the return - but how on earth would I go about setting this up? Even if someone could point me towards learning resources it would be appreciated.

    Front end developers: what else are you doing during your day besides implementing the UI itself?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 06:01 PM PST

    When I say implement the UI itself, I mean take a wireframe and "make it come to life". I imagine there is more to the job that writing the UI. What are some of the behind the scenes functions you perform as a front end developer that makes it all happen? This could be something like configuring a CMS, connecting to a CDN, etc.

    I'm just looking for ways to better familiarize myself with a real day in the life outside of writing HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

    Form submission from one form to another

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 01:50 PM PST

    I'm quite a noob working on a project where I want to take some input from a form, submit it to a form on another site and then return a message.

    So currently I have a PHP form where I can add information for multiple submits on the third party site. I then loop through the data in $_POST and submit it to the other site.I achieved this with Goutte and tested by simply making some queries to wikipedia and then return the text.

    All fine and well so far.

    But then after having a look at the website I want to submit to, it turns out that it runs some javascript, so there goes Goutte.What is worse is that the site requires a login which I cannot do myself. So basically I need the user using the webinterface to login first, and then run the script from the same session.

    I then started looking into Selenium webdrivers, but as far as I could understand, I won't be able to run that solely on a website.

    So now I'm quite at a loss on where to go from here, does anyone have any ideas on what I could do/use to make this work?
