JavaScript: can you recursively call and sync method? How’s that work?

Scrum master certified!!

I won’t hire someone who is arrogantly aware of their own gifted intelligence. People like that are a walking anti pattern

2020: ima tell y’all how I tell my fellow devs at the office. You only get out what you put in. Reach for what you want and understand what the market demands. If the markets flooding with PWAs then don’t spend weeks learning Wordpress plugins.... apply yourself harder then anyone else in the room to be inner-twined with the markets needs so that your worth is higher every year. Double your knowledge and worth this year.

Got the offer, accepted, just put in my notice. Flying out to silicone for training in 2 weeks, all uphill from there.

I’ve spent collectively 20 hours interviewing for this job. I’m suppose to receive the offer today. I have heard nothing yet and it’s the afternoon now. I’m honestly a nervous wreck and I find it hilariously sad. Just send the offer!!!! I can’t wait any longer!

Devs, how much additional time do you put in each day outside of work to keep up with technology and/or work on side projects ?

Right now I’m estimating an hour a night I believe.

AWS: Use "Easy Setup" to utilize the industries suggested preset for your database needs. (Buttons ordered first in and pre-selected).

I use easy setup as I trust amazon to abstract the granular settings and guide me through best practices rather than reading through their 600 page manual to configure an Aurora instance.

10 days later, 700$ bill comes in.
Thanks AWS 👍

Recruiter: no clear answer to rather your hired yet but you are trending positively 🤦‍♂️. Trending. Positively.

Third interview, this time with the CTO and CEO. They were very neutral so I’m not sure what to expect next. I’m so use to the convo going like “alright let us figure out when we can get you in here” followed by details. These guys asked how much notice my current job would need but that’s all. Left me very questioning. Maybe that’s just the professional way of handling interviews but they seemed very very political about their company. That shit scares me. Can leave the politics behind, I’m just trying to move your business forward, not trying to battle over who has the most degrees or reputable past businesses

Need job advice:
I love where I work but I just had an interview which a much bigger company that is offering 25k more!
I
m so nervous that they'll call me back with the next steps for speaking to the CTO that I almost just wish they wouldn't. I dont know if thats me actually not wanting this job or just so nervous about leaving my job I love for a newer position that Id rather not bother with it.

Regarless, my family needs the money and Id never make the same where im at. Any advice?

I am shocked in how well php is keeping up with the communities needs and trending features. I’m tempted to go back to it for the next few projects even. Maybe some laravel magic or symfony again. Well...maybe not symfony

Any web assembly multi compilation process over top of going back to javascript is just sketchy to me. But i remember the last time Microsoft tried for a blazer. It was called silverlight 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

In my friends grad speech for her bachelors in stats she said “I’ve written so many for loops” lol like tf that suppose to even mean? The rest of the speech was equally as embarrassing. College, I’ll pass

FullContacts api is my favorite not because it’s necessarily the best structured api (especially after its updates in attempt to make it more understandable for the less technologically savvy) but because it’s a blast to use. You feed in an email address and get back a gigantic Json response of data on that user including demographics, sex, company, social media presence, etc. it’s really a must for CRM providers

I have created a seeding for every single table in my db. Not just users and primary entities. No, every single table has valid data to get rolling with. Ive been with large and small companies that have never taken the time and care to do this. There is nothing like having test data the minute you start your dev env.

50,000+ lines of javascript later - have not written the word "function" once - nor the word "class"

My PMs daughter is my daughter's best friend. My PM drops her off to spend the night regularly and were just like "ya man seeya tomorrow or monday or whatever". It's so odd and funny because he's also like 20+ years older than me but it's just all chill as can be. I know some PMs out there make devs lives hell.

Two months ago I was complaining how knex doesn’t handle enough of the DB concerns for me. Today I would not go back to a fully managed ORM. I mean we’re programmers 🤠 we’re suppose to relish in the idea of having more control and say

I dont get how anyone can do just front end architecture. That shits stressful. Taking a step back and building out the api is like a sigh of relief to freshen up before going back in on reacts convoluted way or ordering things.

Maintaining referential transparency might find its use in the inner working of a process but I cannot find any practical usage for it around the basis of your standard app.

For instance: you make an axios request to your api, you wait for the response. Two reasonable ways of checking are to catch anything errors (axios throws on 404 and 500s) or checking if status is not 200/201/whatever. If its not then alert the user that there was an error fetching whatever they needed or however you go about error handling. This is a standard in application interfaces, to alert users of issues. Request functions cant be referentially transparent because we rely on them to make a binary decision.

Same ont eh api side when we're writing these controller actions and services. They need to fail or succeed and we need to return a 500 or 200/201. I guess the fact that a response is coming back despite its state makes it somewhat transparent but the type of response the usr can expect will never be transparent.

Point being, functional programming has its place in my programs but im finding many places where it just doesn't fit in/

Ngrok just changed my entire QA approach like holy shit man

Been dreaming about code a lot lately. Guess now I’m gonna be dreaming about terraform config files

It’s funny how new developers are swaying between node and php(laravel) for their first run with api development. Laravels like your hand holding solution to warm you up before you dive in on express. Not shits configured for you with express or Koa. All the ORMs are fucked, everything and I mean everything is a separate npm package totally agnostic to your current environment. There’s barely a set of best practices or directory structure. It’s like being given some clay and water. Figure it out. I would never suggest anyone trying to find confidence in the web dev world to pick up node unless they’re working with an all in one framework like sales.js

Whenever I was working heavily with dynamically allocated websocket ports and having to make strategies for connecting them via this UI, I would dream that I was a switchboard operator connecting and reconnecting for what felt like hours.

And it always felt like a fever dream where I’m just having a panic through the whole experience and waking up in cold sweat. That went on for that whole month of 2018.

My current company has taught me a remarkable lesson. Just 1-2 really good full stack developers is all it takes to pull in Disney, Berkshire Hathaway and other fortune 500 companies. Cause at the end of the day these companies dont care about how many developers or how proficient the work flow is over here. They care about the history of the company, the mouth thats moving in these lunch meetings and the words being said. The sense of confidence and the nice building they see when they visit. Ive found a deep respect for marketing/sales, the facade that they can put up and the way a company builds off of facade until its no longer a facade. We literally wait until the big job is landed to hire the developers needed to make it happen. Its hilarious.

Mac offers no way out of the box to decompress archive files. Several mental breakdowns later

I could really get use to mobile app development because I’m really REALLY tired of responsive design.

I learned a lot about joomla this week, is something I had hoped never to say. If im commenting shit like this 2 months from now, remind me to quit.

How do I convince my agency (whome has history of being anti .Net) into letting me write one of our upcoming apps in .net core? I’ve been playing with it a lot on my own stuff but need my first go on a production app. C# devs throw me some good reasons. My towns huge on .net so it’s not even like they can’t find someone later that can maintain.
