    Is it normal for an agency dev to hate every project they work on?

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 11:10 AM PDT

    I work for a marketing agency and just realized that I've never actually enjoyed working on a project. Every project suffers from the same things:

    • Amateur/ugly designs by designers more focused on print
    • Designs made in InDesign with no consistency anywhere (why does every button have different padding?)
    • Poor timeline management by PMs that know nothing about web development
    • So many internal change requests over email despite having bug management software
    • Everything developed needs to be "plug-and-play" yet also full of client-specific changes

    These things bum me out so much. Is this normal?

    Senior devs, what was the thing that helped you the most with the process of learning new stuff, when you were a junior dev?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2021 11:49 PM PDT

    And did you have a mentor giving you the the correct amount of work? Because I see juniors being assigned overwhelming tasks kind of everywhere.

    I feel utterly defeated. CORS Issue with Vercel/Heroku React-Node-Express-PostgreSQL App

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 04:18 AM PDT

    Hey there. I am hoping someone can help. I feel like I have exhausted all options and I don't know what else to do. I am at the end of a 6 month fullstack boot camp and working on my final project which is a fullstack app. I had to use React for the front with Node, Express and PostgreSQL on the back. According to the requirements for the project, I need my backend hosted on Heroku and my front on Vercel.

    It took me 3.5 weeks to build out this MVP while I also added learning JWT for user auth. Got everything working locally just fine across the board. Now when deployed I am running into a CORS issue. It's very strange, I can register a user and it posts to the database, but if I go to log in with it, I get the CORS issue below: 

    Access to fetch at 'https://desolate-reaches-15214.herokuapp.com/api/auth/login' from origin 'https://mind-your-fitness.vercel.app' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled. auth-api-service.js:48 POST https://desolate-reaches-15214.herokuapp.com/api/auth/login net::ERR_FAILED

    I have tried I feel like everything. I am using the cors npm package. I've tired passing the origin into app.use(cors({origin})). I have tried just using app.use(cors()). I have tired adding headers into my fetch. I don't really know what else I can do.

    Is there anyone willing to maybe take a look at my code and see what I am doing wrong? I will gladly reward you with a coffee or 2 for your troubles. Let me know.

    Looking after a shithole of a codebase, need advice

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 10:26 AM PDT

    I recently took over an online store written in Laravel/Vue.js, I won't get too much into details but it's a complete shit-show, previous developer copied an old project of his, botched things here and there and didn't even bother removing unnecessary parts. Vue.js is utilized to only 1% of its capabilities, it's bad, like using jQuery inside of Vue bad, setting variables on the global object inside laravel templates to load them inside Vue components bad. PHP side of things isn't looking good as well, we've got random 300 line methods and so on.

    ​

    I am slowly starting getting accustomed to this esoteric beast but would like to hear from more experienced developers, what is the best course of action here? Should I try to tame it or let it ride and just rodeo this mf hoping it won't drop me off? Have you been in a similar situation? what happened? Apart from this situation, this is a pretty good side-gig for some extra income and I'd like to keep it but not if it costs me my sanity.

    Tools for developing front ends quickly for primarily bad end devs?

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 01:03 PM PDT

    Is there a toolset that allows someone who is a back end dev to quickly build front end UI quickly and for simple purposes? I am looking for something that is easy to learn even though it may not have all the bells and whistles of a full fledged front end development suite.

    Easy to follow OOP Javascript Tutorial

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 11:12 AM PDT

    I tried buying 5$ DigitalOcean droplet with my PayPal for testing, but had my account locked straight away without any extra information. It's been a couple of days since I opened my ticket asking what happened, and I haven't received an answer. Should I create a new account and use my card to pay?

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 10:23 AM PDT

    Has this happened to anyone else? I was super surprised to see that my account was locked straight after paying with my PayPal. The payment went through, then I was refunded my money back and my account was locked. No information was given about why my account was locked, so I opened a ticket 2 days ago, but I still haven't received an answer. I googled the issue and saw that a lot of other people have experienced the same thing, but usually they can't determine why either.

    I literally just wanna get a 5$ droplet and test my stuff on it. Should I create another account and try paying with my visa this time, or wait for response first? If they don't answer, what other alternatives are there to DigitalOcean which I could use and which have good documentation and easy to use by people with no previous deployment experience?

    Can I host my webapp on a raspberry pi?

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 03:35 PM PDT

    I'd like to buy a raspberry pi just to host some small projects of mine and not have to pay for a subscription, as I think I'll be hosting these sorts of things well into the future. I've done some looking around but I'm not really finding any conclusive answer as to whether this is a good idea or not. I want to host my webapp which has a backend and database. I'm expecting very little traffic, it's mostly just for me and my friends to use.

    Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated :)

    If I were to integrate Stripe and Paypal for purchases on a website, is there and legal actions I would have to take in order to do so?

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 03:21 PM PDT

    May be a dumb question but would I have to do anything in particular to accept payments from people legally without consequences or can I just integrate the API's and i'm good to go?

    15 week full stack dev bootcamp!

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 01:29 PM PDT

    Hi there,

    I recently made an interactive google sheets dev bootcamp schedule that you might find useful! It covers almost all topics that will get you on your way to become a full stack developer. Check it out here:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nLnd40qHDuiZg14f_jPUOtowXiUhek8376rO13R3z1U/edit?usp=sharing

    I first got the idea from appacademy's 16 to 24 week courses.. though I saw that you have to literally pay thousands upon thousands for their bootcamp...https://blog.appacademy.io/16-week-vs-24-week/?utm_source=appacademy&utm_medium=main-nav&utm_campaign=common-questions&utm_content=1

    There is app academy's free vsn which I took a look at that as well. Though I didn't really want to learn ruby on rails. I also wanted to focus on integrating AWS as I think learning one cloud as a developer is more future proof.

    The overall cost of my "bootcamp" per se is only around $100 through all the udemy classes lol.

    You don't need any prior programming knowledge as you'll be taught basics to advanced stuff in the first 3 classes! Let me know what you think about this!

    EDIT: I didn't think this would become an "actual" bootcamp. Just only resource lol but I made a discord if you'd want to share or exchange information regarding this! https://discord.gg/B9pZjtdMCE

    Best practices and advises to make IoT web app?

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 09:27 AM PDT

    Best practices and advises to make IoT web app?

    By the time I asked in webdev related subs, I've been making an IoT app with my friend who handles computer vision (mostly object detection).

    So basically I've made an app with Flask framework + MQTT for sensor/actuator transmission and then displays their statuses in a dashboard such as person count, temperature, and power management. For features, it can do automatic (from sensors) and manual (from web input) response for actuators which has to be signed in to do full control. The sensor values will be displayed in graphs which require database.

    For display, I think this will illustrate my simulation:

    I'm learning graphs, but I haven't display here yet. Those features are in full control as i logged in

    A couple of questions I want to ask and say, i think mostly from data storage and display stuffs:

    1. For sensor data. It should be stored on database. SQL should be enough for this, but i believe realtime DBMS should be ideal (and stored in a cloud service instead locally), doesn't it?. I think I need explanation for database stuffs. Currently I'm still learning with flat csv
    2. For account management. With sensors already in database, should account management merged with sensor data? I assume sensors use RT-DBMS whereas account can simply use SQL
    3. Is CORS a must for web app, or otherwise? I have issues when calling local files (i still use csv) until i use CORS.
    4. Are there tool recommendations for calling the database (csv or dbms) where i can display later on to the graph?
    5. (later implementation) what kind of security to use to deal with those data?
    6. (later implementation) If I want to deploy in production, let's say in heroku, what are best practices for deployment stuffs?
    7. I think making an IoT app should be light data usage, shouldn't it, if mobile is a concern? This leads me to pick how to display sensors in a graph. I'm currently use plotly (~2 MB? i forgot) but that library size is big. I saw amcharts too but the size is even worse (~7 MB). My wanted high end feature will be adjustable date range to see data in a period of time. Other solutions i searched are using lightweight chart library like chart.js or c3.js added with separate date range picker. Currently data usage isn't on the concern as my app develops until time i actually completed the feature

    I'd welcome for general suggestions for making basic IoT web apps, UI stuffs are welcome too (Bootstrap at least works for now, no plans to change though).

    Front end for access database(->sql), 1 table

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 01:04 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I have an access database, which I saw I can export into an sql format. I'd like to out it online and be able to use it, but I don't know wether it'd be hard or even, say I pay somebody, expensive, to make this happen. Could use some advice on this.

    The database is just 1 table.

    Advice on drag & drop functionality

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 12:53 PM PDT

    Hello,

    ​

    I am looking to create a function on a Javascript web application where someone can drag a shape from a set location to another, then I want that shape to open up and reveal something inside (much like opening a pack on Hearthstone).

    ​

    I am planning to start learning how to do this just using CSS, Javascript and HTML. Are there any other languages or resources anyone can recommend to help me achieve this?

    Vanity SSL or Private Key and certificate recommendations

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 11:45 AM PDT

    I am trying to locate an inexpensive SSL certificate for a domain of mine. My hosting provider is completely useless for much help on this topic (Bell Aliant). I have been looking at Lets Encrypt or Certbot, but I have no idea what options I would choose to generate a certificate.

    They, Bell Aliant, do except vanity SSL or a Private Key and Certificate. So,I'm thinking I'll do the private key and certificate thing, but I have no idea where the best place is for something like this.

    Any information would be so greatly appreciated.
