    My dad killed himself and I stopped trying so hard to be a great developer. Is it ok to be decent, slow paced and not great?

    Posted: 19 May 2021 01:00 PM PDT

    - 28 years old
    - Immigrant in the US, left my country, family and everything when I was 24 years old.
    I have 1 year of professional programing experience in web development and mobile development. Since I started learning to code (2 years ago) I was 120% committed to learn as much as possible as quick as possible to find a good paying job, and I got it. I'm proud of it.

    I was stepping on the gas pedal when I got my first job. I would work my regular 8 hours and code at home all the time. Building small projects to grasp concepts, reading documentation, reading programming books, chatting with colleagues. Read posts, blogs, get involved in the local tech scene a little bit . I was happy because I was able to manage it and my improvements were noticeable. I was progressively getting better at this craft.

    Soon I realized that the more I learn the more I would feel impostor syndrome. But I was able to manage it decently enough by accepting that the more you know the less you think you know.

    Besides that I was feeling great and started to poke around with some co-workers about the idea of building a product. Take advantage my skills. I was practicing, studying, researching all the time to the point that my wife would tell me that I wasn't ever there for her. Even though I'm not rich (not even close enough), money wasn't a problem at this point anymore.

    Then my dad died, he killed himself, and at that very moment my life changed completely. My perception of life, time, work, family, relationships, friends, etc. Everything changed inside of me. And I realized that everything that I was doing was to make my parents proud of me. To prove them their sacrifice as parents for me wasn't a waste, wasn't in vain. To give them the best life they ever imagined.

    My dad died alone in my home country. Last time I saw him was at the airport 4 years ago. He was proud of me, but most of the time I was absent because I was grinding, studying, coding, working. And I'm not able to go back again and change it just like you would in any videogame, app, git, you name it.

    Now I don't feel like trying to be great anymore at software development, or founding a company or something like that. It's my job and I want to keep it because I enjoy it and the pay is great for just a being a Jr. I want to be good, contribute, know my shit and all that. But I don't want to code all the time anymore.
    Now I just think it's my job and I should put my spare time in more valuable things. Things you take for granted but THEY ARE NOT:

    Taking care of my mom. Taking care of my wife, my dog, my family.
    Go camping with family and friends and enjoy nature.
    Play sports I like. Soccer. Learn paragliding.
    Play guitar. Before being a developer I would play, write and record songs all the time.
    Read literature.
    Eat well.
    Etc.

    I can't go back in time. There's not enough money in the whole world that would bring my dad back or make me feel better about all the time I had the opportunity to LOVE HIM which was the only medicine, cure, requirement that he needed to fill up the void of not having his only son with him. He was screaming for it I knew it in my heart but I was "too busy".

    Dangers of allowing users to upload custom CSS files?

    Posted: 19 May 2021 02:18 PM PDT

    I'm creating a website that allows users to create custom subchannels (like subreddits). And I want to make it so that users are allowed to upload their own CSS files that would override the default styles for their subchannels. Users would also be able to opt out of custom styles. I've only heard of a few websites doing this so it's kind of hard to get info on the risks involved. Would there be any potential security risks involved in doing this?

    Update website content without having to send new content and updated HTML, CSS etc to hosting provider every time?

    Posted: 19 May 2021 03:21 PM PDT

    Making websites for clients that will be hosted by an external hosting provider (for boring security reasons) .

    It costs every time we want to make an update.

    Is there a way that we could make simple changes like text tweaks and adding images without having to send the files to the hosting provider and have them update it (incurring a fee)

    We're making static HTML sites with no frameworks.

    My country is on a downward spiral. Suggestions for countries to move to as a web-dev

    Posted: 19 May 2021 03:40 AM PDT

    I live in a certain SEA country and it has gone to utter shit. There's really no hope for a dev career in this country and I'm thinking of moving in 6 months or so.

    I'm not asking for a definite best country to move to, of course. I just want to hear some suggestions from my fellow web devs.

    I have a grocery site I'm freelancing on that I can use as my portfolio. Is there anything else I can do to prepare?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Best way to make a scrolling music editor that supports thousands of notes?

    Posted: 19 May 2021 10:36 AM PDT

    So, for many years I've been trying to make a custom MIDI sequencer using JS / HTML / CSS.

    My program has multiple "tracks" visible at once, each track can have multiple "clips" and each clip can contain multiple notes on it.

    When a midi song is loaded in, that can mean thousands of notes, hundreds of clips, and a dozen or so tracks.

    Originally I made the entire thing out of DOM but when a complex song is loaded things CHUG when trying to scroll. I need scrolling to be at least 30fps, but it dips to 1 fps when a complete song is loaded.

    So... DOM is apparently too slow. So I decided to try one-canvas per track approach, and just render the entire track to a canvas.

    The problems with this is:

    • canvases stop rendering after 10,000 pixels wide, and songs can easily be that wide if zoomed in or etc.
    • canvases are annoying to work with because tracks can resize and then the pixel scaling is off and gotta redraw the canvas
    • redrawing each track takes a second or so, so redrawing the song everytime something changes stalls for several seconds

    Canvases did however, scroll perfectly smoothly.

    My next idea is just to use one canvas for the whole screen and handle scrolling by redrawing the canvas.

    The downside of this is drawing the entire song and all tracks is extremely slow so no where near fast enough for scrolling.

    This means I would have to filter what is theoretically visible to the users viewport and only draw those items.

    I could do this, but I'm afraid it will still be too slow.

    I also tried using hidden canvases to act as buffers and pre-draw clips so I could just draw the relevant clips, but the process of redrawing all the buffers was painfully slow and froze everything while that job completed.

    My next idea is to use Three JS or Unity to make a web GL container and just generate polygons for the entire scene with an orthographic camera.

    I feel like this would work fast / well, but the idea of using 60fps GPU work just to have a music editing interface is over kill.

    Plus, all the canvas ideas require me to write my own UI interacting layer for clicking, selecting, dragging things.

    I just can't wrap my head around how it would be possible to write a fast rendering program that shows multiple tracks, with multiple clips, with multiple notes up to thousands of notes.

    Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

    Should i make "fake" websites for my portfolio?

    Posted: 19 May 2021 03:24 PM PDT

    As the title says, i'm wondering if i should make websites including both frontend and backend (webshop, blog etc). And then have them in my portfolio to showcase my skills?

    These websites wouldn't serve any purposes other than showing what i've done and showing some skills, that's why i call them "fake".

    Or is there anything else i could do to fill my portfolio?

    Also, do you think employers want to see websites done in WordPress, .NET framework or pages done without CMS or frameworks the most? Im thinking a mix of all three.

    Is Microsoft blocking GMX mails?

    Posted: 19 May 2021 10:12 AM PDT

    Not sure where the best place is to post this, but I figured you folks might know...

    I've been using gmx.com as my mail address for automated scripts. This is because it's easy to sign up for addresses and they don't ask too many questions. I use these for sending myself alerts on things like servers rebooting and websites being unreachable. I like doing it this way since I can put my email credentials into a config file and not expose the email credentials that I actually use for my important emails.

    Recently I thought it would be fun to send myself a daily update each morning, where I pull interesting links off of Reddit and other RSS sources, saving myself the effort of paging through the Reddits (so hard...) I formatted this as an html email and when I tried to send it, got the following error:

    reason: 550 5.7.1 Unfortunately, messages from [82.165.159.42] weren't sent. Pleas
    e contact your Internet service provider since part of their network i
    s on our block list (S3140).

    When I looked up the IP address, it actually maps to GMX. Thus it appears that Microsoft is actually blocking GMX mails. I mean, maybe they should be at this point, but uggh! it's really messing with my unnecessary automation game.

    Looking for a sepcific kind of SMS service.

    Posted: 19 May 2021 10:55 AM PDT

    Cross-posted from /r/web-design, which was probably the wrong place.

    A client wants the ability to allow their users to send bulk SMS messages based on phone numbers from a custom database built with the Knack platform. Knack's extensibility is limited to client-side javascript. CORS won't allow me to make POST requests to Twilio or other SMS platforms from the user's browser, so I need to figure out another way to actually send the messages.

    I was wondering if maybe there was an SMS service out there that had a UI for sending bulk messages, and also allowed a draft message to be "queued up" with a redirect, pre-filling the message fields (to, from, etc) from information on the URL query string. If that exists, I think I'll be able to include a link to tee up the message that the user can then send themselves in the SMS platform.

    I know I can stand up a service to get around the CORS constraint but I'm trying to avoid going down the custom service path based on the client's feedback.

    Any idea if something like this actually exists?

    What is the difference between :is() as a psuedo-class and :is() as a selector?

    Posted: 19 May 2021 06:54 AM PDT

    I've been trying to wrap my head around CanIUse and MDN's browser support shown for the :is() CSS feature, and I'm coming up with mixed results.

    As a pseudo-class, it's fully supported in Edge. As a selector, it's not supported at all according to these sources...but what's the difference here? I understand the difference between a pseudo-class and a selector, but I'm not clear on this differentiation with regard to :is(), and everything I've attempted to do with :is() has worked as expected in Edge, further muddying the waters.

    What next after a full stack course on internet? Please help.

    Posted: 19 May 2021 11:14 AM PDT

    I will be completing the Web dev course on Udemy by Angela yu shortly. So in regards to that I wanted to know what next should I do after getting this course done?

    So what I thought of after completing the course is as follows:

    1) Html and css bootcamp from freecodingcamp in order to improve my breadth of knowledge about html and css and also brush up those skills.

    2) Javascript bootcamp in order to strengthen my coding as well as improving by grip on DOM manipulation , handler functions and animation.

    3) Node and express.js bootcamp

    4) Improve my understanding of databases and learn Postgres SQL.

    5) React.js and redux bootcamp course

    6) Know about firebase

    Project which I am aiming to do in order to put it on my resume for internships:

    1) My portfolio website

    2) A Netflix/Disney+ clone

    3) Web app with facial recognition and voice recognition.

    4) A discord bot and possibly a reddit bot using node and js

    5) A photo editing web app.

    ​

    I also have done other projects along the way which were present in the Udemy course which I can use as well. Any other Ideas which would make up a good project for MERN stack?

    So web dev's of reddit what do you think should I add to this bucket list and what other things should I keep in mind? Will this give me a working knowledge on MERN stack enough that I can score an internship? I am thinking this to be dealt with by the end this year. Is that a deliverable deadline?

    I also have to do some leetcode for internships and placements and I know C and java as well.

    ​

    Sorry for the huge wall of text and bad formatting please bear with me for this one.

    Providing an RSS Feed from MERN

    Posted: 19 May 2021 04:33 PM PDT

    I'm building a mern stack application, where express loops through posts from my database then generates and returns an xml RSS feed. My question is, if my site url (site.com) points to my react app, but the RSS feed url is different (api.site.com), am I to expose the api endpoint? Is there any security concerns I should take into consideration?

    Do frontend developers hand write code nowadays?

    Posted: 19 May 2021 04:14 PM PDT

    After learning html css JavaScript, Feeling a little discouraged with all of the other technologies out there that dont require code. Why learn to code when you could just use wordpress or convert adobe xd to code. I get there are certain things you cant do with templates and such but is it really worth all the effort to learn to code from scratch?

    Difficulty proving experience

    Posted: 19 May 2021 05:35 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I just had another round of interviews yesterday and feeling pretty defeated.

    I have been in the front end development space for well over 10 years now. I have been asked questions on webpack, accessibility, security, performance methods, but I couldn't answer most of them because most of my time at jobs, they only give me the small fry stuff to work on. Cosmetic changes, bug fixes, create prototype dummy pages based on design comps.

    I feel the ladder is getting taller and taller and I have nothing to show for. What do I do, or what do I need to do to show I can understand these more, deeper (and what seems like more and more senior frontend) topics?

    Can working on simple at home exercises prove enough of a point to employers?

    Thanks for reading.

    What would you find impressive in a personal coding blog?

    Posted: 19 May 2021 04:05 PM PDT

    I'm working on my coding blog right now and I've been debating whether to use it to document my little wacky programming side projects/ventures/processes that aren't included in my resume or portfolio and then listing the steps I took, so that others can try them out and I can look back on them.

    So for example, I've used fiddler to test the JS of .io games to see if they can be exploited or not and test security of sites by pausing the JS script and changing aspects of it to see if game values can be changed in real-time. And seeing how different sites have different exploitable values.

    Or, I've figured out how to use XAMPP to host PHP while using VS code. Or how to test a PHP email contact form offline through some tool that creates emls. And a bunch of other little things here or there that aren't mentioned anywhere and I've done for fun or personal convenience.

    None of these are that complicated but it did take quite a bit of digging and researching different sources to figure out how to do these and fit it all together for the specific tools being used.

    I know it's my personal coding blog so it's up to me but at the same time, would this be really for a relevant or "impressive" for a developer portfolio blog?

    Can this SVG mask interaction on scroll can be done using Locomotive Scroll?

    Posted: 19 May 2021 03:58 PM PDT

    My experience with JavaScript is quite limited. I was able to create this neat little interaction on scroll using Vanilla JS: https://codepen.io/xavier_godbout/pen/wvJoNma

    Unfortunatly we need to use Locomotive Scroll on our project. Now, the scroll event is simply not working. I don't even if it's possible anymore. I'm open to all solutions! Thanks in advance if you can help!

    If I made a site for someone close (ex. a WordPress site) and it's no longer being used, is there any way to still use it as a demo of my work?

    Posted: 19 May 2021 03:57 PM PDT

    For example, with permission, would it be possible to save the code and use a free host service just to host it as a demo? I worry that it won't fully run due to some paid services that may be missing if I were to try hosting it for free.

    I currently only have one WordPress site under my belt and I'd like to have it as a demo. What would be the best approach for this?

    website to present a java cli program

    Posted: 19 May 2021 11:27 AM PDT

    I am quite new to web dev. Most of my programming experience has been with CLI tools. So many projects are CLI based but I have not seen any way to deploy them on a website. Perhaps this is difficult to achieve such a general scenario, so here is my use case.

    I want to build website to present a toy Git implementation I built in Java. In a desktop environment this is done with invoking the command in terminal within a desired directory where you want to keep track of your files. I want to make this program available online, which basically means presenting a CLI interface as the front end and a shell like environment in the back end.

    I would also like to make the website more general. If I have more CLI project in the future, I can just add to existing website.

    Is this achievable with containers or existing technologies (like WASM)? Can you point me to similar project/resources? The closest thing I can think of is Replit and Glitch. But I want a stand alone project not based on a platform.
