    GOT HIRED! There’s hope out there!

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 10:31 AM PST

    It's all a numbers game guys, believe me!

    I just kept on applying and applying and suddenly from 1-2 days I got so many revert backs and finally today I got hired as a Junior Full stack web developer!

    If any of you need help with anything I'll try my best to help.

    All the best to everyone out there!

    Edit: This is the template I used for resume but after tweaking some things. I removed the skill level bars and removed the photo and added additional info about me

    I just ended an interview part way in. Is this really how interviews are now?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 01:01 PM PST

    I've been out of the game interview-wise for a couple years now. I work full time as a front end dev and have been since about 2014. My experience was first building informational CMS sites, and now the past 4 years have been web applications in React. I decided to apply to a startup just for interview practice.

    This is what transpired:

    • Had a phone meeting with HR. She told me I sound "like a great fit" and wants me to Zoom with the CTO and backend dev. She mentioned that the first part would be technical questions / review resume, second would be a live coding test. I stopped her right there and told her I'd maybe be open to a max 1 hour take home, but I am not comfortable doing a live coding test where I'm being judged. Not comfortable with it. She said that was fine. She contacted the CTO, and in an email she said there would not be a coding test. Just a technical talk, and they'd show me their codebase. Sweet.

    • Interview with CTO. Shoot the shit for a couple minutes and we get into it. He asks me about my experience. Told him at my current job I work in React, adding features to a web app. He hums and haws. Brought up the fact that I also freelance. I said yep, outside work hours. He goes, "are you just telling me that because that's what I want to hear?".. I'm thinking, are you joking?.. I replied, "... No. I do freelance during evenings and weekends". And he begrudgingly went to my next roles.

    • We move onto the back-end dev. He tells me he doesn't have much experience with React (that's expected, he's back-end). But he told me that React is by default uses MVVM architecture and he wanted me to explain what that was. I told him my experience is with MVC, the View being React, but he said "React was MVVM". I wasn't going to argue with him. Then he asks some other questions like what is a Promise, what are the main HTTP methods. He kept interrupting me grumpily as I was trying to explain things. I'm thinking.. do I really want to work with these people?

    • Then, all of a sudden, they share their screen and send me a link. I thought we were going over their codebase.. nope! Live coding session. I could feel my face drop and the rug pulled from under me. I immediately said, "HR told me there would not be a live coding session, pseudo code or otherwise". CTO responded with, "no no, this is just pseudo code and want you to explain how you'd do something". I reluctantly said okay. Anyway, he cracks out a leet code problem - something I've never studied, nor have ever used in real life. I just said to them, "yeah, I'm going to have to end this here. I was told that this wouldn't happen and clearly that was disregarded, good bye". And I quit the zoom session.

    I emailed HR, told her what happened and said I was not moving forward with the process. I was just so angry and felt so misled. I don't mind doing a max 1 hour take home, whatever. But I'm not down for 2 people breathing over my shoulder watching my every move while I attempt to code some leet code problem that I have no idea how to do. It's humiliating.

    HR actually told me on our first call, that they've had so much trouble hiring for this position - and she said, "maybe it's because they're under a lot of stress with people watching them - I wouldn't want that in an interview!".

    Is this how all interviews are now? Because every place I've ever worked (digital agencies, in-house corps), have never done this. They just have me in for an hour chat, look at my portfolio ,and that's the extent of the interview. No take homes, no live coding.

    TL:DR - was told by HR I wouldn't have a live coding test. Went to the interview with CTO/back-end, who were grumps, whom pulled the rug under me and threw me into a leet code coding test anyway which I have zero experience with. Left angry, humiliated, and feel like I'm not good enough.

    How do sites like Ticketmaster or Seatgeek prevent two users from buying the same ticket?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 08:06 PM PST

    I am looking to build something similar for a personal project, but I don't fully understand how this would work.

    Say tickets to a popular Kanye West concert were about to go live. A lot of users would go on there to claim their tickets, how do these sites prevent two users who might click on the ticket at roughly the same time from both going through the checkout process for the same ticket?

    My initial thoughts are to use a websocket, but how does that scale if you have hundreds of people trying to access it at once? Is there a different approach.

    My other thought that I am not as familiar with is something like Amazon SQS.

    But even if you have some sort of queue, it's possible a customer goes through the payment flow, but at the end they don't pay, whereas the other customer likely would have paid but now assumes its taken.

    Curious what your thoughts are for a problem like this.

    A single-page-app functionality using only HTML and CSS

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 11:30 PM PST

    Something I discovered while browsing reddit that will blow your mind, there's a site on the dark net where the entire page is a single HTML file, there's no Javascript, all the pages on the site loads so fast it's not even funny.

    They achieved this by using a 30-year-old html hashtag suffix with :target CSS pseudo selector. I didn't know something like this was even possible.

    How do you typically write your code?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 10:14 PM PST

    I'm trying to decide on a general format for things like tags and classes, and as a novice, I know theres PascalCase, camelCase, kebab-case, and snake_case, but I wondered if there was specific uses for each as far as WebDev goes, and if theres such as thing as Pascal_Snake_Case?

    Do Senior front-end web developers create the design via figma before starting coding?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 10:11 PM PST

    I would like to know if it is common to use figma before starting coding? or only web designers use figma and give the design to developer?

    Is there any minimal CSS framework that only provides rows and columns?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2022 01:29 AM PST

    I don't really need anything other than rows and columns from a framework, is there any option available? Or at least is there any really minimal framework?

    At the same time I don't want to deal with purging CSS with PurgeCSS, so I am really looking for a very minimal one here

    Redux Toolkit Query, is no one using it?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 09:42 PM PST

    I began creating a project and I am trying to use RTK Query. But dang there are no resources to learn this stuff. The documentation has some sparse examples and I found 1 post with examples that actually helped me. In particular I am trying to use it with websockets to instantly update multiple clients. It would be easier to just poll but it wouldnt work for my app. I have been able to solve any challenges so far with the few resources available but it has taken a lot longer than Id like.

    So far I prefer React Query but I really wanted to get into Redux and build that skill up. Is this new addition to Redux Toolkit just too new?

    Alternative to SendGrid? The delivery rates suck.

    Posted: 25 Jan 2022 12:47 AM PST

    I am running an app, where email notifications play a significant role. I decided to go with SendGrid, as they are a major player in the email API space. Unfortunately, I have discovered that their delivery rates suck, a lot, because of emails being blocked by antivirus software detecting SendGrid's blacklisted IPs. I know that they are offering dedicated IPs, but these plans start at $90 and I am nowhere near the usage that would justify that kind of expense. This is a major problem for me, as some of my users are SMB, so they are using some custom spam filters and faulty email delivery is a no-go.

    Is there an email API that solves this problem at cheaper tiers?

    Thanks!

    Tip for those remote workers who have moved states and stayed with same company

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 03:45 PM PST

    Don't leave any PTO accrued in your previous state when you quit, even if BOTH states require payout of PTO.

    Something scummy companies are trying:

    You accrue 10 days in previous state, then accrue 20 days in new state. Both states require PTO payout upon ending employment. Expect 30 days? They can try scumbag move of paying out 20, because your new state only regulates salary/compensation accrued in that state, and you're no longer an employee of the old state, so those laws aren't being applied to you.

    I'm dealing with this headache right now. Don't risk it. Use your PTO.

    Can anyone suggest a browser good for both front and back end development?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2022 12:11 AM PST

    I have been using IE and chrome for now. I was going to try Firefox. As I am new to this I wanted to know what developers usually use. And I saw this LAMBDATEST browser wanted to know if anyone has ever tried that?

    CANT RECOVER WORDPRESS ACCOUNT ��

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 11:38 PM PST

    𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲. When building a website, is it common practice for the theme the developer used to be locked? Mine has never been enabled and It says there has been an update available for around 9 months, however we can't access it to update it. Tried everyday but it still says it's not allowed. Why is that ? Initial developer is now holding me at ransom to charge to fix the issue or take the site down and give me a refund. I don't speak tech and so I'm not sure what to do. I now cannot get into the backend of my WordPress account. My current developer believes that they used a pirated theme to which they have no licence and that therein is the problem. What your advice ? I can't afford to build a new one and they're not forthcoming about what they did.

    I’d like to make a website that combines search results from other websites

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 11:04 PM PST

    I'm not a developer but I'm looking for some guidance as I wouldn't know where to start but i know it can be done. I hope I'm not breaking any rules here. My boss uses three different websites to order parts but he has to search each site individually. Is it possible to design a solution that would display the results in a single website/program? Thank you for your help

    Added my site to cloudflare and ssl still ain't working

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 10:59 PM PST

    Ssl certificate shows active, it's on flexible, Cpanel looks good I think? I have no idea what the problem is. Googling only leads me to answers that I've already done.

    Using name cheap and heroky. Namecheaps nameservers are correct also. No clue what's going on.

    When inspecting network via chrome tools, why did my css load significantly longer (3x) when i disabled javascript?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 10:55 PM PST

    Im just a bit confused

    What does javascript have to do with the load time of css?

    Is this normal or an edgecase?

    Super frustrated with my internship

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 06:51 PM PST

    2 weeks in with my unpaid internship and I am super frustrated.

    I have never been worked in a commercial environment. The number of files in one repo simply scares me. I managed to figure out the functionalities for some files and I confirmed with my mentor. So I modified the code based on my task list. I provided my mentor with the file name and its file path that I will be changing multiple times. And again he confirmed multiple times. After I submitted a code review, my mentor questioned me why I changed the code in the legacy API (which is a concept I have never heard of). Then I ask him to roughly walk me through the code structure so I won't make the same mistake. He just said he doesn't have time and told me to ask more specific questions.

    Sometimes I would ask my mentor about the issues I came across with my setup and he would just say he doesn't have time and points me to the DevOps team. Then when I did ask for help from DevOps, they would tell me to ask my mentor.

    Is this usually how internships go? If so, I don't know how would I survive this internship that lasts for months.

    Javascript library for image manipulation

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 10:33 PM PST

    Hi guys!

    Are there any javascript libraries that enable image manipulation just like some online PDF viewers do? For example, zoom in, zoom out, panning, rotating etc.
