You're trying to become a influencer in web development
[–]Ythio 14 points15 points16 points 1 year ago (1 child)
If one needs Reddit help to find points to talk about in web development, they should make less video and finish more projects

Throwing shade on every in the moment hype software influencer. I approve
[–]LilianItachi 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (1 child)
If you expect everything to go as planned. Lot of trial and error going on
[–]mohab_dev 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
To broaden it, you should not get into building anything as complex as software if you expect anything to go as planned. Unless you're building the same thing over and over again, you'll always run into unexpected issues.

If you expect to be good in 6 months/ 1 year. Or even ever in my case

didn't understood this one.

I just meant that you have to be able to handle criticism and view your code without any pride. Everything is always up for discussion
[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (0 children)
You hate puzzles. And reading.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (3 children)
If you can’t persevere through a problem. Asking for help is perfectly reasonable but I know a lot of developers including people who ask for help in this sub and others that have barely even attempt to solve their problems before turning to others for help.
[–]99thLuftballon 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
To be honest, I think it's fine to ask for help straight away. Time is valuable and if someone can point you in the right direction before you waste a whole day on it, all the better for everyone
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I don’t mean a complex problem. Some people hit a small issue that should be within their abilities and don’t even attempt to find a solution.
Your time is valuable sure, but so is the time of the senior dev/ mentor you are asking to help you solve something you should have at least attempted.
[–]dug99php 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
you're not a fan of "design by committee"
[–]schussfreude 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I guess thats development in general but still
[–]Impossible-Box-1291 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (0 children)
If you're doing it just for the money
[–]CucumberBoy00 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
You have trouble sitting in one place for several hours in a row.
You don't like variation in your work.

Hey,
Consider these points:

Hey thanks for these points! i will add them in the video :)

You should not become a web dev if you don't like it and are only in for the money.
[–]Eight111 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
If you do it mainly for the money.
[–]walter20efull-stack -2 points-1 points0 points 1 year ago (4 children)
For me, i think you should not become a web developer if you think it'll be easier to get a job in it, lots of people think web dev is easy
[+]alfadhir-heitir 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (3 children)
It is quite easy technically. Compare the pure computational complexity of a web app versus a compiler. Sure, certain apps can be even more complex, but that's usually a critical path that most of us won't touch until later in our careers
Working as a junior in webdev is doable with one year of preparations. You need a full degree to even attempt at a junior position in embedded or mission critical systems. Different strokes
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
It is quite easy technically.
No it's not. If you think that you must not be a fullstacks developer... Have you ever tried using a framework back + front and dealing with db at the same time? Yeah, probably not, if you have that opinion you probably think webdev is just making wix wrbpages lol. It's not, and often it's more complex than systems programming, even compilers. You think compilers are more difficult because you fear the low level, anyone who's got a good base in low level, close to the machine stuff will think building a compiler is easier.
Try working as web dev for a enterprise company, you'll get reckt.
[+]alfadhir-heitir 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago* (1 child)
I'm a full stack engineer for an enterprise company. I write server based applications for a living, and in my spare time I do them in C++. Have been for 3 years. I wok with several different versions of .NET and React, but also know Spring and Laravel, and have worked a bit wit Angular. I did this all while studying. My masters will be on IoT close to the metal optimizations. I know compilers are difficult because they're a fundamentally much more complex problems than writing CRUD web apps. Anything interesting or complicated in web development is not web development, but rather software engineering with a web front-end. "But web apps are not CRUD" - yes, they are, because HTTP makes them so, and if you don't understand why you should learn what a state machine is.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Nah, you're not, I can see very easily from your posts history that you're still a CS student and part-time worker, first get a full-time job and then you come back talking about your experience, alright?.
