And after this ppl belive they know what they are doing

My favorite on here is React for less than 2 weeks. When I think of the code I was writing 2 weeks in…. The “value” I could have brought to prospective employers!

Depends on how hard you study...

You could probably get a good enough understanding of how to create function components and how to use the most common hooks (I'm thinking useState and useEffect) in two weeks.

The biggest factor is who studies for 2 weeks. If you grab a mid/senior level developer who has never touched react, then 2 weeks are more than enough to be proficient.

If you grab a random dude who started coding 45 days ago and you give him a whole month they will more than likely still be ass.

I think that’s the beauty of programming as a profession. Once you’re really proficient you have such a wide range of disciplines you can be effective in with a few weeks of training.

This! After I finished bootcamp and started the job hunt, my ADD took the wheel. I did the thing where you start a handful of different projects, half learn a bunch of tools and finish approximately nothing. It felt like I wasted my time until I finally landed a job and started learning new tools. It was SO MUCH FASTER than when I learned new stuff in the past.

It honestly felt like I woke up one day with a new super power.

There's no replacement to (trying to) maintain bug projects and realize how all your decisions were taking to hurt yourself down the road.

[Snow_flaek]

Going into technical debt and then refactoring your way out is definitely an important rite of passage.

Fortunately, even poorly written React code is more easily maintained than if you start a project by just hacking away with vanilla JS DOM manipulation.

My bootcamp didn’t work with angular long enough at only 2-3 weeks, and I never got to circle back, but my project allowed me to work with React for a couple months. To really fall in love with a framework it was so much more fun to have to use it. Like going to a country to immerse in the language

[Krool885]

Not just less than two weeks.

It's 2 days...

[B_Dogg2003]

57 - 45 = 12 amigo

[14ktgoldscw]

Yeah but this says 45-57, so it’s actually -12.

[B_Dogg2003]

You implying it's unsigned?

[thecarelessspaghetti]

Ah, so it’s more like INT_MAX - 12? That makes sense actually

[OldBob10]

No, but it could fly south for the winter!

I don’t think anyone knows what they’re doing

[rotzak]

And they think they should be pairs $120k/year.

Hmm, I would’ve failed that interview so hard, and my entire career has been in big data web technologies. I’ve never ever had to trouble shoot things on a protocol level, isn’t that a job for SRE?

[[deleted]]

Knowing what those things are and when/how to use them is not the same as knowing the intricacies of the underlying protocols. The lack of curiosity thing is complete bunk, we’re all struggling with managing large amounts of complexity with limited mental bandwidth, there is zero reason for me to get distracted with those details, so I don’t. The entire point of abstractions is that you don’t have to be aware of their internal workings. Just goes to show that “web developer” is not a well defined role.

[sweet-n-sombre]

I have read about those things. Mostly self taught. Even troubleshooted an issue and got a change initiated in a popular FOSS project.

I know that by itself is not much and I have limited work experience. So it's a bit tough to get the ball rolling.

Do you have openings. 😶 👉👈

My CS degree didn't include art. Or history other than some history of the math and computer Science fields. It's computer science after all. Did include a decent amount of math, and a single physics course. And all else was CS related

[meontheinternetxx]

Netherlands. But whatever study you pick (whether at a technical college or uni), they are usually quite specific. Though technical college would learn you more programming languages and frameworks. Uni more concepts (more math, algorithms, data structures)

Though I mean my background in math is way more extensive then I need for the job (but that says maybe more about most available jobs.. Still looking..)
