    Just Do It.

    Posted: 02 Sep 2021 07:48 PM PDT

    TL;DR - Almost didn't bother applying for a web dev job, ended up getting the job. Apply for your dream job because you never know what will happen.

    A few days ago, a Junior Web Developer position became available at my work (I'm currently a support agent there).

    I felt an immediate pull to apply to the position, however in the back of my mind I had already not gotten the job. I didn't think I had enough education or experience, especially when compared to some of the other applicants who had formal dev education, and that was OK with me. Just the fact that I would be considered was awesome, honestly.

    The next day, I was given a code test to re-create a page that was pretty complex, and again my thought was "well if I can even get close to recreating some of this page, I'll be happy".

    A couple days after I submitted my test, the team lead on the Dev team invited me to an ominous meeting titled "Code Review". In my mind, I was sure I was about to get something along the lines of "some of this is good, but you have some work to do. here are some steps to make it the next time this position becomes available". Again, that was perfectly fine with me. Happy to just get some more direction.

    This past Friday, I was offered the Junior Web Dev Position! Not many times in my life have I been blind sided with such great, life changing news! To say I was blown away is a terrible understatement.

    I am so incredibly humbled to be working with some of the best humans/devs I have ever met, and I am giving God absolutely all of the glory! I have never been more excited for the future of my career. I'm hopeful that this is the beginning of a long, dedicated career in Web Dev!!!

    Your portfolio and the real life

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 02:07 PM PDT

    Good afternoon, everybody!

    After seeing a lot of beginner/junior portfolios in this and other subs, I'd like to share some thoughts and some advice in hopes that someone might find them useful.

    Who the hell am I and why should anyone listen to me?

    I'm just a random guy on the Internet. Currently I'm a front end developer at a very large tech company, formerly a full stack developer, formerly a team lead, formerly an employee of a bunch of startups, a bank, a university, several video streaming services, a fin-tech company, and a video games company that you've all heard of. I've been doing this for 20 years, interviewed at countless companies, and myself interviewed countless candidates. (In case someone cares, here's how I got into this and what tech I worked with in a bit more detail.)

    Edit: This post only applies to working for companies with engineering departments as a full time employee. I have no experience with freelancing, contracting, working for an agency, etc.

    Anyway, if you are still here, let's get to the point:

    The most important aspect of your portfolio is its focus. Play to your strengths and show off your primary skill. By this I mean that if you are a programmer, you don't need to have a gorgeous site with animations and transitions and art and all that. If you are a designer, you don't have to build a working version of your design. You just need to convey to the hiring manager that you are good at what you say you are good at.

    Some people are extremely talented and good at everything. If you are one of those people, that's awesome and I envy your ability. Still, no company has a "Super-talented Generalist" position. They will be hiring engineers, designers, product people, testers, etc. The person hiring you will be glad to see that you can also dance and play the flute, but they are primarily interested in your ability to do the job they are hiring for. So don't make your site so strikingly beautiful, that they'll think you are a designer and won't even look at your code. (And vice versa.)

    Ok, moving on.

    Your portfolio doesn't really benefit from "mock company" sites or "todo list" apps. This isn't what most hiring managers/teams are interested in. We want to see clean code, competent use of your chosen technologies, and most of all we want to see your passion projects. Nobody will ever believe that Generic Shoe Company Site #451299 is your passion project. Show us all those things you wrote for yourself, the little tools, the pages for something you care about, etc.

    In my own experience I've had several job offers from companies whose interviews I failed, after they took a look at my site. What do I have there? Not a single fake company page. Mostly little web games, little tools, browser extensions, etc. Small things that have nothing to do with the company's focus, but they do show off my skill and the fact that I love programming and am good at it. That takes precedence over the fact that I may not have traversed the binary tree in the most efficient way during the interview.

    Now for what not to do.

    Avoid demoing anything that you can't write/draw yourself. If I see some functionality on your site, I will fully expect you to be able to recreate it without excessive googling. If it's not your code or design, don't use it. If you absolutely must use it, clearly and visibly credit the creator. Naturally you don't have to credit inventors of computers, Linux, JavaScript, React, etc. Using a tool if fine, so long as you actually know how to use it. Using someone else's code isn't fine.

    Please don't rate your own skills. There is nothing more cringe-worthy than seeing a person's site with stars or bars, or percentages next to HTML, CSS, JS, etc. That's a bad way to show off how good you are or how modest you are, or anything else really. It's just an all around bad practice with no redeeming value.

    Please, please, please proofread all of your text. If you know you aren't good at spelling/grammar then have someone else proofread it. If your site is in English and it's not your first language, have your teacher/professor/English-speaking friend/people on Reddit proofread it for you. Programming or design or whatever are your second most important skills. The first is communication. If you cannot communicate clearly in the language of the company, nobody will want you even if you are a brilliant coder/designer/other. (I'm using English just as an example, this applies to all languages equally.)

    Please don't describe yourself in a pretentious way. It doesn't make you stand out, it just makes you look obnoxious and unpleasant to work with. Just say something like, "I'm a junior developer with skills in such and such technologies, interested in contributing to and learning from an established team." Don't write nonsense like, "I'm a highly passionate and motivated individual with a keen eye for elegant code, an evangelist of industry best practices, and a staunch supporter of accessibility in web design, as well as a tireless perfectionist." While all these things are objectively good, this sentence reads like, "I'm an annoying jerk." Don't do it.

    Please don't force me to play a detective just to find the basic information I want from your site. Don't hide it behind scrolling, and animations, and whatever weird design choices. These things only look beautiful to you. To someone who is trying to find information about you and see examples of your work, these are incredibly annoying impedances and they will make you look worse compared to other candidates.

    Not portfolio, but still hugely important.

    Remember, you will be working with people. Not with customers but will colleagues. You'll interact with managers, product people, and with other engineers/designers/testers. I already said that communication is your primary skill, but in addition to that being able to get along with people is absolutely paramount. You can be an introvert, many are, myself included, but you absolutely have to be able to be pleasant, approachable, etc. If you aren't, work on it. It's a skill, same as JavaScript or Figma. Develop this skill and make sure to mention it on your site/portfolio/resume. You'll be surprised how much easier your life (including getting hired) will be.

    Final thoughts.

    All of the above are my opinions, which are based on my own experiences. Some people will have had different experiences and will disagree. Some people will disagree on moral/philosophical grounds. That's ok. Take whatever advice you feel will work the best in your individual case. What's important is the result that you get in the end.

    Good luck! Here's to your productive and fulfilling career!

    What API / service can I use to integrate musical excerpts in my app?

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 09:48 AM PDT

    Hey, so I wanted to build a mobile app using JS that would be able to playback songs and parts of songs. I've looked into the Spotify API but it's really inconvenient considering 1. the user needs to have premium and 2. it pretty much just controls their Spotify, making the user experience pretty inconvenient. Any other alternatives to this? Any service I can use to achieve what I want to do?

    Text Input is Reversed Occasionally?

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 01:06 PM PDT

    Text Input is Reversed Occasionally?

    I am at a loss, research shows this is most likely a Chromium bug as I cannot reproduce in Firefox. Using .NET 5 Blazor WASM. What's more frustrating is the exact same logic is used elsewhere in the app and this doesn't occur. Code is using @oninpupt to capture the text changes. Only happens after the parent component is re-rendered. Thoughts?

    Why does my Netlify CMS break (e. posts in Netlify CMS gone but still present on Website) when I perform git push from local repo to remote repo?

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 09:41 AM PDT

    I followed a tutorial where I deployed a Gatsby Netlify starter to Netlify and just logged in to the Netlify CMS from there. Then, I exported this template to github and cloned it to my local machine so I could do gatsby develop.

    However, it stopped working properly after I did git push? What could be the reason and how can I solve this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Trusted By

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 09:17 AM PDT

    Why do so many people put trust by and then name off these massive companies. Are they actually trusted by them? Do they just have one person with an email from a large company with an account, or is it all just a sham? Personally, after seeing this on so many start-ups and such I've started to not trust what their offering, I can't imagine something with a few hundred starts on Github is trusted by Google, Microsoft, etc.

    UK based webdevs?

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 09:11 AM PDT

    My question is really simple. It just surrounds how the process is in becoming a web dev, especially in perspective to being self-taught as I am (non-CSdegree).

    It's definitely true that 95% of job market reports generalise on the US job market, so I was wondering if anyone noticed any differences.

    I was going to post my own observations but then I stopped because I would really like to hear other people's just unfiltered observations without commenting on my own.

    I am trying to get the data from here and do some calculations in JS and display it on a website with HTML. How should I approach this? I never used SQL so I dont really have any idea.

    I did some reasearch,couldnt gather much info but I saw that some people do not recommend using JS with SQL.

    "Cascading" in CSS

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 10:31 AM PDT

    I'm just beginning to learn CSS and wanted to know what cascading meant. From what I can understand I think it's referring to how CSS decides which rule to apply to a certain element if they overlap. Like if I declare that I want h1 to be red, then say it should be green, it will pick red first, and then ultimately choose green. But I could be entirely wrong on this, can someone correct me if I am and put it into better words?

    Craft vs. WordPress

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 10:29 AM PDT

    I am leading a website redesigns and CMS transition project for a non-profit with a budget of $50-80K. We need a great looking, SEO friendly, and easy to manage website and CMS and will hire a developer/design agency for the implementation.

    I was planning on using WordPress, but am getting increasingly interested in Craft. I know WordPress is more mature, but is also fundamentally built for blogging and has a lot of legacy code and challenges keeping plugins updated. On the other hand, Craft is still fairly new and may not be as stable as we would like at this point - but it also feels like it may be the future.

    I would love some thoughts from the community here on what might be our better option.

    How can I get into programming? Zero experience.

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 01:28 PM PDT

    I went to a 4 year university for a psychology. Realized a 4 year psych degree would do me no good. Droped out. Currently enrolled at my local community college for an associates degree in computer science. The problem that I have is that I have to take electives (which feel useless) plus math (4h+ on hw everyday). Not sure If I should complete it or just get a certificate. I heard a lot of good thing from coding boot camps and being self taught, but I wouldn't know if it's a good/bad plan.

    How to avoid deeply nested resources (REST)

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 01:13 PM PDT

    Hi Reddit,

    I'm currently working on a REST API in using Node.JS + Sequelize + MSSQL. Now I'm facing an issue were the URL to acess the credential model is quite long. I now unsure if I should rethink my concept beucase of the nested URLs.

    The following structure is given:

    • A project contains multiple devices
    • Each device can contain multiple ports
    • Each port can contain multiple interfaces
    • On an interfaces multiple services can be assigned
    • And finally, each services can have multiple credentials

    Given the structure mentioned above I came up with the following URL to accress the credentials. During implementation I realized for each layer of nesting I need to call the database and check if that object exists. In the end I need to access the database six times to request the credentials.

    Following is the URL I came up with.

    GET /api/projects/project-001/devices/device-001/ports/port-001/interfaces/if-001/services/ssh/credentials

    Is there any way I can simplify the URLs or is this just fine?

    Gulp compile gets slower and slower over course of an hour

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 01:11 PM PDT

    What does it indicate if my Gulp SCSS compile takes longer and longer over time (with same files)? i.e. a node cache issue, a PC hardware / memory issue... a poltergeist?

    If I open my terminal (Terminus), and compile a SCSS project, it finishes in like 3ms. Over time it seems to get more and more sluggish. My compile is trigger by an explicit save and the delay between the save and the compile gets longer and longer. Eventually I have to close and open my terminal and restart the project.

    Request: Touch + Gesture library

    Posted: 03 Sep 2021 12:39 PM PDT

    Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a touch + gesture library. Hoping for something with a simple API that just emits events, for things like:

    • Touch
    • Touch hold
    • Drag start / end /touch
    • Pinch
    • Opposite of pinch

    I'll deal with the effects myself, so don't need something with built in "drag n drop" support or the like, just the events. Thanks ahead for any suggestions!
