| I'm absolutely terrified of starting my new job tomorrow, didn't sleep one minute today. Posted: 30 Nov 2021 01:41 AM PST So I got a job as a Junior Frontend Developer after applying for an intern position with 0 experience (I was learning web dev with TOP and Epic React for about 5-6 months, before that I went to college for IT but didn't really learn much practical skills there), and I'm absolutely sure they overestimated my abilities and I won't be able to do even the simplest tasks. I only have a very small number of tiny projects on my portfolio. I pretty much know only most of JS' syntax and some React (I recently did the Kent Dodd's Epic React workshops up to to advanced hooks chapter, haven't really used much of this knowledge in a real project yet). Before the technical interview I did a test at TestGorilla from them and I barely finished the coding section on time (not even sure if it worked in all the cases), and on most of the closed questions i just took a wild guess (mostly in node.js section in which I apparently scored over 30% somehow, but the React one also kicked my ass). The interviewer didn't have me write much code, mostly asked JS syntax questions and some of the behaviors of React. I was already pretty anxious that they are so positive about that they offered me a full time position, I don't really feel ready to work on a real project right away, which they want me to. Yesterday I did the remote "onboarding" in which someone added me to the repo and showed me the project I would be working on. It uses a shitload of libraries I have mostly no idea what are even for (I don't even know Redux or Formik yet), and its connected to NFT/Blockchain/Metamask/web3 or something, of which I have absolutely no knowledge of. It also uses Docker which I don't know, was able to get it running bc I had installed it previously but I had no idea how it really works and how it is set up. I attended a daily group meeting with a client in which I understood nothing. They also very briefly showed me working with Jira, and that I would need to use two different dashboards for client and the company. Looking at some of the tasks there I would have no idea how to even begin to approach or understand them, and even If they gave me some mundane ones I think I would have no idea too because the codebase is already much bigger than anything I've ever worked on. I have no idea how to process all this information. Throughout the whole night I had racing thoughts about all these programs they showed me and I'm honestly a wreck right now. I know some of this fear is just stupid, but I just can't get over the feeling that they see something in me that I am not, and I just KNOW I'm partly right. Apart from all these fears, I will also need to move to a new city alone, which just doubles my anxiety. I know that a real dev job is full of friction and overcoming obstacles, but I feel so overwhelmed right now that I almost can't control myself. I'm not sure if posts like this are allowed in this subreddit, so I'm sorry if they're not. EDIT: Thank you all for words of encouragement, I might do an update tomorrow or at the end of the week [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What remote skills should my kids start learning that will still be relevant in 15 years? Posted: 29 Nov 2021 03:12 PM PST If it is programming then is there anything specific? If not programming then does anyone have any other suggestions? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Self Learning to be a full stack developer Posted: 30 Nov 2021 01:08 AM PST Wish me luck! I'm currently following Colt Steeles course (The Web Developer Bootcamp 2022) on Udemy which is pretty good. I don't currently have the money to do a full-on in person boot camp. I'd love to hear any success stories of self taught developers and what paths you took to get there?! Currently in a rubbish management job with a long commute and want to pursue this career path which I've always wanted to do but didn't think I'd be up to it 🙄 [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Anyone here in their 30/40/50's looking to switch to software/web development career? Posted: 30 Nov 2021 09:13 AM PST Was curious if anyone who's in their current career for at least a decade but now want to switch to software development. Can you all share your stories? Why do you want to make a switch? What was your primary reason? (was it money, remote work, etc. ?) [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is it a good idea to stretch across different languages as a beginner? Posted: 30 Nov 2021 08:42 AM PST I'm a CS student nearing graduation and I feel like I don't know enough to get me a job after I graduate, especially when it comes to practical skills, so I want to start learning how to build small stuff and upload it on Github as a show of skill for my own knowledge and for my CV. My question here is that is it a good idea to do this kind of thing across different languages? A small example: let's say I want to do the classic beginner project of a tic-tac-toe game, and since I'm a one-trick pony in Java I want to try and do it in Java + Python + C# for example so that I have an idea of how different languages help solve the problems with building such a project. Would this be a good idea or am I spreading myself too thin in the long run? I've thought of doing this because all the time I be hearing on here that "languages are a tool" and that I should be trying to learn abstract concepts instead of learning the languages that I am using to implement them. Thoughts? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How to design a project from scratch? Posted: 30 Nov 2021 12:40 AM PST This is a very general question: how to design a project from scratch. As a junior software engineer, I can finish a specific functional module but feel hard to design a whole system. For example, I need to write a streaming media player, what should I do first? Are there any "best practice"? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Medium-Level Graphics API for Desktop? Posted: 30 Nov 2021 08:23 AM PST TLDR: I'm looking for something in between OpenGL and WinForms so that I can do my UI Hi r/learnprogramming, I have a fair amount of experience with iOS development among a few other languages but I'm wanting to start work on a cross-platform (i.e windows and Linux) desktop application for 3D graphics tools and data manipulation. While I have some experience with OpenGL and will plan to use it for specific 3D tasks, I can't seem to find a middle ground API for my UI. Most help online seems to either point to using winforms or wpf which are too high level, annoying to work with and also not very easy to work with on Linux, or to just doing it in OpenGL from scratch. Is there really not something in the middle ground that allows you to statically draw text and boxes and use mouse interaction at a lower level than winforms etc. (I'm used to SwiftUI in iOS, where you can specify pixel locations of shapes and sizes and text, get mouse or touch co-ordinates and be quite creative) but without having to bother with gpu buffers, shaders etc etc? Any help would be very much appreciated before I find myself having to do a very long-winded approach of writing everything in OpenGL? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Resources for Networked Texting Website Posted: 30 Nov 2021 09:28 AM PST My friend and I are trying to make a messaging website(similar to Discord) using JavaScript but aren't sure where/how to start. Could someone suggest libraries and other resources we could check out? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Are static getter methods in enums bad? Posted: 30 Nov 2021 04:13 AM PST Let's say I have these two enums: In a few places in my code, I need to retrieve an EnumB value that depends on an EnumA value I already have. Declaring the EnumB value as an instance variable of EnumA would seem easiest: But this would create a circular dependency and EnumA shouldn't even know about EnumB. So my question is: Is the following appropriate? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Is it better to have a programming buddy? Posted: 30 Nov 2021 06:24 AM PST A little background: I have never studied productively in a group before, I have taught thing that I know to my friend groups and I love teaching groups but only when I have spent time learning things alone. I have been learning programming and so is my friend, we both know the basics. He proposed that we should learn together, since be both live close to each other. I have my doubts about how productive I can be when studding with someone else and can't decide. Do you have any experience learning together with a buddy. How should a guy like me approach learning along with someone, maybe you can give me tips on how to be productive or how should we approach this so that we both could help each other become better. Should we even start learning together (we both would be learning the .NET stack, C# and such)? PS If this question doesn't belong here please do tell me and the post would be gone.

| What is the absolute best source for someone who has massive problems learning Recursion? Posted: 29 Nov 2021 10:48 PM PST For the life of me I simply can't get it down. I tried every video. The best I had was going through it step by step but even then I feel something isn't right and my thought process just crumbles when I try to apply it again. I simply cannot understand it for whatever reason and it's going to cost me a lot down the road. Is there some video out there that was an eye opener? Some image or text or whatever that was just perfect? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 30 Nov 2021 05:38 AM PST Hey there, I'm currently pursuing web development as my new career. I'm currently taking a continuing education program specifically in web development at a community college in my area. I have been doing this for about 3-4 months now and was wanting advice as to when I should start applying for jobs? Is it possible to get hired with a certificate from a community college? Any advice helps! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Algorithm to pair up contestants based on distance Posted: 30 Nov 2021 05:33 AM PST Hi, Say I have four teams, A, B, C, D, that will compete in the semi-finals of a tournament. I'm trying to determine which team will play against which and my only criterion for that is the distance between them -- I want to pair up the teams with the least distance between each other. The distance is an arbitrary value I get from a table like this one:
I'm simply wondering if there exists an algorithm that could help with this task. If not, that's fine -- no need to suggest anything else. Thank you very much. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Nov 2021 05:10 AM PST Hello all! With the help of this subreddit, I have more than 20+ personal projects of all sorts (from small to complicated ones) in Python, and managed to get an analyst-programmer job using those skills. However, one thing is bothering me... Every time I try to write clean code from the start, my thoughts seem to be "blocked" or "frozen", and I am much less productive when I am working like this. However, when I start to let go of this "clean code first" attitude, my creativity, and productivity skyrockets, with the downside of having to refactor the code later on. I read things from a couple of developers, saying that clean code rules must be kept from the beginning of the project because the costs(time) of refactoring can be great, especially when a core function or logic is created in an incorrect way. I can only agree with this statement if you have a detailed plan of the production with all the required dependencies. When you create something that is totally new and have not really figured it out yet (example: undocumented API reversing), I find it nearly impossible to keep clean code from the beginning. I would like to hear developers, who are on the job for a couple of years, working on larger-scale projects, about their opinion if it is bad if you write dirty code first (not even keeping "DRY" dirty), then spend time refactoring it to make it clean and fit for coding conventions. Of course, any tips regarding the creativity issue are welcome! Thank you! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Level of skill is required for junior developers? Posted: 30 Nov 2021 07:01 AM PST Hi guys, been learning programming for the past 7-8 months now and still feel like I have a long way to go before I am gonna be fit for a job. I hear conflicting things about what level of knowledge/ skill is required to be considered for a junior level position. Some people seem to think that you really don't need to know a whole lot but I find this hard to believe. Let's say I am proficient in at least one major language like JS and I know a little about back end stuff like how to build a restAPI, work with a database like postgreSQL or Mongo. And for front end I know the basics of a framework like React or Angular along with some CSS. On top of this I am vaguely familiar with testing and some Typescript and I know how to use Git. Where do you think this puts me in terms of the level you need to be at to get a junior position? Assuming also that I have spent a good bit of time practicing Algorithms to get through a technical interview and have at least 3 meaning projects on GitHub. Interested to hear what people think. Thanks!! [link] [comments] |
