    I might be fired the 2nd time web developers

    I might be fired the 2nd time

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 11:06 AM PDT

    I work as a web developer in a smaller company and I am one of the slower ones (I am a junior developer with officially around 2 year work experience). The first time I was fired working at a bigger company and there was some pressure with big projects. I struggled to finish big projects because there was a huge mental barrier and I wasn't / am not that good in analytical and complex thinking. So the leader decided to fire me.

    Currently I work at a smaller company where we make web projects for customers. It's simpler to develop projects there vs at the company before because we make small projects with angular, react, WordPress and/or laravel. BUT I still struggle to work precisely. I often forget small things, especially when I have to change something later. I often oversee an important code line and then it doesn't work anymore as it should. I don't recognize that, but the software tester does. Especially the graphic designer finds over 100 things that are not correct (mostly it's just banal css stuff but there are also other things like a wrong frontend output because I have made the database query wrong f.e.)
    The bad stuff is that I feel confident that I have finished the projects but then I get feedback that there are many things wrong or missing and I haven't noticed that. IT'S LIKE MY BRAIN IS LAZY AND GOES INTO STANDBY AFTER I THINK I HAVE FINISHED.

    I am also lazy to test my web application properly AND WHEN I DO IT then I OVERSEE MANY ISSUES. It's like my brain prevents me from doing the things I have to do but am to lazy to do it.

    Laziness or let's say focus is an issue in my life general. I live my life passively even though I try to change myself through personal development (I read/watch self development books/videos and try to implement some stuff in my life). But it's not that easy to change my automatic behavior. This laziness and feeling a bit indifferent to work costs me maybe two career paths.

    I feel kinda lost and don't know what to do. In a way I do like my work because I do earn not that bad and I can work at home at times and I don't know a job currently that would be better for me. As a child I liked to create web apps and so on. Maybe someday there's a better job out there for me but currently I think it's pretty okay. Or it's just in my mind but my subconsciousness tells me that I should find another one.

    BUT I want to improve my cognitive skills, be more focused, be able to think logically and be able to work more precisely.

    The bad thing is that I don't seem to learn from mistakes. It's my 10th project now (or even more) and I still seem to make many mistakes where I don't think before I change something (which even lead to crashes in the past) and/or oversee many UI styling stuff (like a wrong margin, gap, etc.). Also I AM WORKING SLOW and I doubt if it's even the right career path in my life. Maybe I should study something or search for a completely other career.

    When I have to rate my happiness with coding in general it's around 6-7 of 10 points (on some days even 8 when I feel motivated and energetic). Private projects might be fun (when I feel motivated) but when I have to work for someone else and I have to think a lot and it gets complicated then my motivation drops a lot!!

    What tips would you give me? Am I the wrong type of person to be a developer? Maybe it's the end of my current job but I currently don't have options for a completely other career because I don't know a job that I would find interesting. Maybe going to study something else. If I continue my path as a developer, what tips could you give me in order to be more motivated and get over my thinking fatigue, work more precisely and faster? Or are these signs that it's the wrong type of job?

    Tech stack recommendations for first time web app developer

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 12:31 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    I want to make a glorified ToDo app, ultimately I'd like to make mobile app implementations but for now I want to start with a web app. It needs to have authenticated sessions, and other than that I don't think there's anything too special.

    I am not a web developer, but have years of experience in languages in the game dev world, particularly c# and to a lesser degree javascript, lua, and python.

    Could you please suggest some good solutions for a 1 person team in 2021?

    Thanks!

    Just introducing myself, nothing important to see here

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 03:22 PM PDT

    Hi everyone, I'm HappiestMeal. I'm taking a Udemy class, the 2021 colt steele one, for web development. I took his class before he updated it and I felt like I had a good grasp on everything until we got to back end. That led to frustration, so while I finished the class and project I didn't feel like I understood the material and didn't practice further. So I'm hoping that by joining a community of web developers and students that it will help with my motivations and inspirations.

    Thanks for reading.

    How can I make divs which float side by side have the same height?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 08:14 AM PDT

    How can I make divs which float side by side have the same height?

    The div which has less "vertical content" (so to speak) needs to match the height of the other div.

    I am essentially using the code from this w3 lesson: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_zig_zag_layout.asp

    The only solution I can think of is manually setting a height for each row (the parent element) and setting the divs to height: 100%

    I'd like to make a site that allows users to make flow charts. Each step of the flow chart needs a centered name for the step but then numbers on each of the corners. Is there a library that can do this already?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 03:47 PM PDT

    I'm kinda a beginner in actual design. Any suggestion you might have would be great. I've looked all over and have found several libraries but they seem to be very restricted as to how everything looks after it's done. I'm also concerned that a lot of the free options aren't really updated (but then the paid options are $$$$$$).

    Maybe I should just bite the bullet and make a package that does this?

    Building out Dribbble/Behance designs to actual apps to hone in your skills

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 03:36 PM PDT

    I've really become interested in design lately and I've posted about it before, but I really don't know design at all. I can tell what is good design and bad design but that's about the extent of my knowledge. I can't come up with anything and it just look good like people do on Dribbble and Behance. I'm just a simple coder and code is life, but I REALLY want to get better at styling, or at least building sites that look decent. So I started looking at these sites and the things that people can make are amazing! And I would love to take these concepts and designs and just try to build it out on something like Codepen to practice just to see if I can do it. The only issue I run into most of the time is, they use images, svgs, icons, etc, that aren't available which makes sense because that would just be giving away their own designs for free.

    Anyway does anyone else do this? What other websites do you like to get inspiration from and make you want to bring a design to life on the interwebs?

    This is one design I found on behance and I really struggled with it for a while. I still don't know how to get the background to work like it does in the design but I like how it turned out.

    Front-end - Outside of languages/frameworks, what can be done to improve site/codebase?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 11:12 AM PDT

    For example!

    - Figma to build UI/UX

    - Web accessibility with proper ARIA

    - Integration testing, unit testing, end to end testing

    - Performance testing with lighthouse.

    ​

    Am I missing any others?

    Creating a client-side shell, need advice for user input

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 02:23 PM PDT

    so i am attempting to create a shell for a text-based adventure game.

    The following is basically what I have:

    <div id = "shell"> <p>Welcome to the shell</p> </div> <script> var i = 0; while (i < 5) { write_to_shell('> '); i += 1; } </script>

    and write_to_shell() is :

    function write_to_shell(write_text) { var tag = document.createElement('p'); var text = document.createTextNode(write_text); tag.appendChild(text); var element = document.getElementById('shell'); element.appendChild(tag); }

    so basically, I'm writing a prompt to the console, but i don't know how to wait and get user input.

    The idea I had is to create a form that can take in user input, hide the submit button so 'enter' will be the only submit option, then lock the form after it is submitted. I don't know how to do the wait part.

    Instead of the while loop, i could just have another prompt append itself after the submitted one for that. I'm not sure how i would go about that, though.

    I'm trying to do this all with vanilla HTML/JS, no libraries or anything. It's a personal project for the sake of learning.

    Any input is appreciated, thank you

    Do people use clamp and vw to create responsive pages in a production setting?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 01:57 PM PDT

    That's a mouthful eh?

    Long/short, I have this simple CodePen as an example: https://codepen.io/DouglasGlover/pen/WNpMKZd

    I'm using a few features in tandem that I believe make a good responsive site:

    - CSS clamp on font sizes
    - viewport width font sizes as the base size, px value as min and max (within the clamp)
    - Using `orientation: portrait` and `orientation: landscape` as my media queries (as opposed to what seems typical: min-width pixel values)

    I am aware with the last point of a few caveats at least specifically with Chrome on mobile (focusing on an input field opens the keyboard, causing a page resize, potentially breaking layout while typing).

    Beyond that, does anyone have any major flags regarding this approach? The approach feels good to me personally and I've used it with some success on smaller sites, but I'm curious about opinions on it.

    I have been freelancing and it has been a while since I looked for a job. After losing so many clients last year, I am looking for a more solid future. I assume it's a mix of technical leads, recruiters and hr. I want to unerstand the user personas before a redesign.

    Your most common frontend combo?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 01:02 PM PDT

    What's your goto frontend combo and why? The most common I've seen is react+mobx though my preference would probably be react+redux+redux-saga (yeah I know it's a lot of boilerplate code to handle but I find it very convenient once you get the hang of it).

    Assuming you'll start a new project that should scale (to a group of developers that is) what will be yours? And why?
