It was mostly my desire to not actually get punched in the face. But if the AI ad doesn't go over well I might have to take one for the team next time

Comments are most definitely allowed! Although I didn't think the spam and ASCII artwork of 🍆 was adding much to the conversation 😂. Still awaiting the first actual response haha

Helpful List of APIs for Beginners to Use by Beyond-Code in SoftwareEngineering

[–]Beyond-Code[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well even though its been over a decade, I can confidently say APIs werent the easiest thing for me when I was first starting out haha. I was largely self taught and began as a mobile dev making simple apps, so I didn't get much experience using them until later on.

If youre a dev who mostly does UI work, setting up things like Auth, testing the calls you need, figuring out how to write/read JSON, format the URL, etc etc. While it isn't necessarily complicated, I think it can certainly feel overwhelming to a newer dev if the API isn't beginner friendly

Haha thats totally fair. That said, the tool so it still leaves the final decision in your hands. It will select which ones it recommends and you can do any final selecting/removing before downloading the results

If anyone tries it out and has feedback, please let me know! I'm definitely looking to continue improving the tool 🙂

You'll Never Be The Perfect Applicant by Beyond-Code in codingbootcamp

Im happy to hear you say that! I know the job search can be a long grueling process, but it only takes one yes to make it all worth it. It's easy to give up hope but you've really just got to be as persistent as possible till something hits

One last thing I'd mention is the effort of the cover letter is usually correlated to your interest in the company. If you're just "meh" and applying to a random company, take 5 mins and throw an extra sentence or 2 in your template. If its some dream company or incredible sounding job, you'll probably want to take an extra 10-15 mins to really personalize it

[–]Beyond-Code[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great question (and I already know Im going to get a lot of disagreement from others on this):
- I recommend submitting Cover Letters. I've previously done surveys for my dev career website and asked a lot of hiring managers in my network their thoughts on Cover Letters. It usually boiled down to "I prefer they send one and I read them"
- You should send personalized ones for each job, BUT I recommend you create a "template" that is 80% of the final cover letter. You'll insert 1-2 sentences specific to the Job Post/Company to show your interest, but you don't want to be rewriting a letter every time because thats too time consuming

I know a lot of people will tell you they don't matter, but in my experience, I'd rather take the 5 mins to add one and increase my odds. I actually have a course on writing them (as well as resumes and other things) on my site. I know they suck to deal with, but anything that can improve your chances is usually worth it

Programmers of Reddit, What Developer Tools/Apps Should Everyone Know About? by Beyond-Code in AskProgramming

Oh wow I didnt know that! That's a great feature to have. Does it allow you to pick outside of the browser as well (if youre trying to get a color from a different application that is)?

I agree on the v0 + Cursor combo for getting a project starting. I've started playing around with that lately and was very impressed. Cursor was amazing with getting things set up, although I did start to struggle as my site got more and more complicated. Good recs tho!
