    Am I being fleeced?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 10:20 PM PST

    Morning all, non-developer here with a quick question. I am having an app built and have just been quoted 16 hours for a button on a webpage that will launch the app (Android or IOS). I have (very) basic knowledge of HTML and do web design myself and 16 hours seems like a lot. However, I am also aware that people often grossly underestimate the work that goes into things outside their own realm of expertise, so am a bit unsure of what to think. Thoughts?

    Is DevOps easier than java development?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2022 06:43 AM PST

    I work in a mnc. As a fresher i was assigned to java development(spring boot) for an insurance business. The business logic was to much complicated and I failed it. Now I have been shifted to DevOps (Jenkins, github). Will it be easier?

    Why do tech teams get all mystical about what they do?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2022 02:17 AM PST

    As the requirements guy on the team, I am always bamboozled by the way the development team makes all the tech seem mystical and magically.

    I am a self taught coder, and generally have more than a fair idea of the technology the teams I work with employ.

    But during every call, it appears they are doing something out of this world which is unattainable and shall take enormous times, when in reality is a simple flow they need to implement.

    While I try and keep my thoughts to myself unless things go really out of hand, having seen this trend in nearly all the teams I have worked with, makes me think whether my thought process itself is to blame.

    Is it some inside joke rule in the dev community that I am not privy to?

    Making a public API with token for each use (like OpenWeatherMap, Github, Firebase, etc)

    Posted: 25 Jan 2022 04:04 AM PST

    I'm going to make a service and I need this. Each user may create a simple "app" or in general an entity, and each entity has an API key. Does this method of making API's and apps have a specific name or it is the same as JWT?

    I am a little bit confused about the stuff and I need some help for searching about the matter.

    Thanks.

    Instagram blocking UserAgents

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 07:11 PM PST

    Hi, non-developer here with minimal experience around API's. I am part of brand team that sends out 600+ instagram comments a day. As of late we have been receiving this error:

    .http://instagram.com/api/v1/media/274113234720701/info/:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()

    When you click on the link it simply says:

    {"message":"useragent mismatch","status":"fail"}

    It appears that Instagram is blocking each of our individual UserAgent ID's. I read that a status 429 indicates we have used too many requests in a given amount of time and yet does not specify a limit of how many times we can visit the page.

    Is there anyway to troubleshoot this? It's preventing us from doing our job, we're not bots. We're real people just doing brand engagement.

    (Beginner) How do I make a machine learning model which generate sentences.

    Posted: 25 Jan 2022 03:41 AM PST

    My dataset has prompts and their corresponding sentences columns. I want to make a model which will generate sentences based on user input.

    Any guides? All I can find is complicated codes which doesn't help at all rather than copy pasting..

    Turning SQL query results into API requests

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 03:00 PM PST

    Hi, non-developer here with SQL experience and very light Python and API experience. Could someone point me in the right direction on how to learn to do the below?

    I have a SQL query that runs every hour. I need to take this query output and dump it into a spreadsheet, iterate row by row taking certain fields from the query results and turning them into a JSON API post request for each row, calling that API, and record the API response into an cell on the spreadsheet corresponding to the row the post request was taken from.

    I hope that makes sense? This is probably like 15 different things I need to learn so I'm going to break them down into bite sized steps, but even just some general direction would help, such as any python libraries that can do this or any resources or example projects that do this. Thank you!

    Where do I need to start to make a script/bot that scrapes a site to input data into a Google sheet?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2022 12:16 AM PST

    Hello, thank you for reading.

    Title says most of it, details beyond that:

    I am looking to make a script or a bot of some sort that scrapes VINs off a search result in edmunds, epicvins, and bid(dot)cars to then input those vins into a Google sheet. Attempting to build a registery for a specific model car. I've made a mouse/keyboard macro that does is on my android using an app but I know there has to be a faster, more efficient, and easier way. Currently it's getting about 1 vin per every 45 seconds.

    I'm looking to do this either on my chrome book, android, or my iPhone. I do have a windows computer as well but would rather avoid that route do to power consumption if at all possible.

    I used to build websites and I know little about code but nothing beyond doing adjustments to existing code and basic troubleshooting but I had no luck finding a way to do what I'm looking for since a lot of the tutorials work for grabbing off one page but need info pulled of each search result.

    I feel like it should be a simple thing to make but that purely due ignorance. I need it to basically: page opened > search for 17 digits after "VIN: " and grab info to paste into sheet > page closed > repeat with next search result.

    With bid cars and epicvins, it's on the main page which makes things easier and I could use one of those tuts but edmunds is where I'm completely stumped.

    Thanks, have a good day

    I started my first RoR project and hired some offshore developers. They completed the tasks I wanted, but ended taking advantage of me.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 10:22 PM PST

    I started a Ruby on Rails project about eight months ago and hired a few guys from India to help me build my MVP app. I'm the only person running the company and haven't hired a CTO yet due to my budget. They did an okay job, but since this was my first ever time dealing with programming they ending up taking advantage of me. I paid around 5k but after talking to a few developers I found out they overcharged me by about 2k. I know I should have done more research about the costs, but these guys were so convincing, so I ended up hiring them. Unfortunately, now I a lot of bugs on my app and the developers aren't willing to fix the bugs unless I pay them more.

    The reason I made this post is I wanted to see if anyone here could help me fix the bugs on my app. I don't have much money left, but I can pay a little for your time. I know this could have been all avoided, but hindsight 20/20. I would appreciate any help I can get. Also, I would like to know what everyone thinks about my situation and if there's any better solutions I can implement to improve my situation. Thank you.

    Pandas vs Power BI

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 09:43 PM PST

    So I was learning Pandas and did a data exploratory project using it but I wanted to ask is Pandas used in the real world because I searched for data analysis jobs and they mostly wanted someone with Power Bi skills.

    PS:- What about SQL vs pandas. What do pandas bring that SQL can't. It can't be handling big data because we use Hadoop there. I am really confused.

    Should stories depend on other stories within the same sprint?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 08:02 AM PST

    Hi, I'm not really sure if we're doing agile correctly, it doesn't feel correct.

    We have 2 week long sprints.

    Sometimes we get into the situation that there's a dependency on a story within the sprint for another story. So person A can do work (or at least complete work) after person B is done. So we may stay person A will work on this in the first week of the sprint, and person B will work on it in the next part of the sprint.

    This doesn't really sit well with me, as I thought stories belong to sprints, not sub-sprints-time. It sometimes even happens that person A may not be in the same group.

    Is this normal? or should we insist on no dependencies on the same sprint?

    (Note the question isn't if this is ideal, but rather if it's normal.)

    Recommendations

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 06:39 PM PST

    Hi everyone!

    For context: I am amazed with coding and the world it creates since 4-5 years now. I worked at a deadend job and graduated from a school I didn't really liked and am currently unable to find any sustainable jobs.

    Through the 4-5 year period I was interested in coding, I watched and wrote (to practice, not professionally) some basic; HTML, R Programming, Python and SQL. Because of the fact that I am currently unemployed and have free time, I want to start learning another language which can deliver me at least a very minimum income. My goal is earning 100$ a month from outsourced jobs/projects (100$ is not a bad sum of money in my country); which language do you recommend me to learn and can you tell me how long will it take me to reach a upper-middle level of proficiency in that language.

    As I have said; my goal is earning a mere 100$ a month so do not think that I am one of those guys who think they can master several languages in few months and earn 1000$+ a month. Hope I was clear enough and didn't offend anyone with my ignorance.

    Thank you in advance for your responses.

    Virtual Android Device refuses connection to Live Server I've created in VSCode - Beginner/ Self Taught Skill Level

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 05:00 PM PST

    I'm a novice programmer trying to write a front-end web app in vanilla JS that resizes and looks great & functions correctly on iOS and Android. Specifically, I'm troubleshooting how browsers change focus location when their onscreen keyboards open.

    Currently, I can open a simulated iPhone in Xcode and navigate to the live server IP/port however I cannot do the same with the Android virtual device. When entering the IP/port in the search bar I get an error that says the connection was refused.

    My goal is to be able to have an iPhone and Android virtual devices responding to the changes I make in the code each time I save so that I can determine the best way to fix the bugs I've come across in the wild that don't show up in Chrome dev tools on my laptop.

    I am using a Mac.

    I've spent some time Googling the issue but I think I lack the vocabulary required to find a solution. Could you help me understand what I need to search for to find the solution?

    Is it worth rewriting large Java project into Kotlin?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 06:21 AM PST

    I am working on a web app with backend in Java. The project information are:

    • ~2000 java files
    • almost 200k lines of code (excluding empty lines)
    • multimodule maven project and few microservices
    • currently using Java 11, Spring Boot, Hibernate

    It was decided that current code should migrate to Kotlin over time, I am trying to get an opinion on this, but from what I learned so far I think it's not worth the effort to go through migration of this scale. The project has a lot of code and design issues itself, developers (4 total) don't have a lot of experience with Kotlin, some none at all.

    My questions are:

    • Do you think the migration effort would be worth it?
    • What would be the biggest advantage of having whole code base in Kotlin?
    • What would be the biggest disadvantage of the migration?

    Hey, I study IT and I'm getting really interested in programming

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 02:42 PM PST

    I know it's hard and our only teacher who teaches us most of the programming (on linux), well she just tells us what we need to do and then usually i just lose motivation and start copy pasteing stuff from google untill whatever starts working, i guess shes a lazy teacher. But I'm not lazy, any tips? Or courses to enroll in? Or something like that

    What is the fastest way to sort a big dictionary data set?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 09:46 AM PST

    I found a video tutorial where you can sort a python dictionary either from big to small, or small to big, according to key or according to value. https://youtu.be/MGD_b2w_GU4 They are just using python's sorted() function. My question is how can you sort it even faster if the data set is very big? Do you use an algorithm like quicksort? I am a bit of a beginner so any help or examples I will appreciate.

    What tools would you recommend for writing good software documentation?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 08:16 AM PST

    I'm looking for tools that are easy to get a grasp on and produce good documentation. Examples of what you think good documentation should look like would also be great. Im writing documentation for a REST api with several examples in different languages and Im not quite sure where to start. I think shopify's documentation is a good example of what I have in mind
