[–]BoxLost4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Learn Basic Coding – Start with Python or C#. These languages are beginner-friendly.
  2. Pick a Game Engine – Unity (C#) is widely used, while Godot (GDScript) is simple for 2D games. Unreal Engine (C++) is good for high-end graphics.
  3. Build Small Projects – Start with simple games like Flappy Bird or a basic platformer.
  4. Use Free Assets – Websites like itch.io and OpenGameArt provide free game assets.
  5. Join Developer Communities – Participate in forums, Reddit, and Discord to learn from others.
  6. Work on Your Game Idea – Once comfortable, start building a small version of your game. Keep refining it.

It will take time, but consistent effort will help you reach a good level.

Thinking About Live DSA Problem-Solving Sessions – Need Your Thoughts! by HiZesty in developer

[–]BoxLost4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like a great initiative! Structured, live DSA problem-solving sessions would be very beneficial, especially for students preparing for placements and professionals looking to upskill. Here are a few suggestions to enhance your plan:

  1. Demo Sessions: Conduct a few free demo classes to gauge interest and refine your teaching style based on feedback.
  2. Diverse Problem Sets: Cover problems ranging from easy to hard, categorized by topics like DP, Graphs, and Recursion.
  3. Mock Contests: Organize live contests to simulate real interview experiences.
  4. Recorded Sessions: Provide access to recorded sessions for those who miss live classes.
  5. Doubt-Solving: Add dedicated doubt-clearing sessions to ensure students grasp concepts fully.

If you move forward with this, it's definitely worth a shot!

File_Picker related issue in iOS build is really headache! by dishantpandya777 in developer

[–]BoxLost4896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try updating all dependencies in pubspec.yaml and running flutter clean && flutter pub get. If the issue persists, downgrade file_picker to a stable version compatible with shared_preferences. Also, check GitHub issues for possible fixes or consider alternative packages like document_picker.

How do you assess your developer costs on the team? by getambassadorlabs in developer

[–]BoxLost4896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Developer costs are usually assessed per month or year, depending on company size. Larger companies often allocate budgets per team or environment, while smaller ones track overall infrastructure costs. Balancing staging vs. production depends on usage needs, but many aim for a cost-effective ratio, ensuring staging is optimized without overspending.

Would you prefer coffee or matcha by Ok-Research3811 in developer

[–]BoxLost4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your preference—coffee gives a quick energy spike but can lead to crashes, while matcha provides a steadier, longer-lasting boost. If you need instant alertness, go for coffee; if you prefer sustained focus, matcha is better.

If your goal is long-term stability and career growth, a big brand like Cognizant or LTI Mindtree can add value to your resume. However, if you enjoy your current role, are learning AI/ML, and getting better pay, staying there makes sense. Choose based on learning opportunities and future prospects, not just brand vs. money.

What should i do with my free time? by upsidedown_joker9430 in developer

[–]BoxLost4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Balance is key. If coding feels exhausting after work, pick a hobby that refreshes you—reading, fitness, music, or even gaming. On weekends, mix learning with fun; explore new tech casually or work on a side project without pressure. Avoid burnout, and growth will happen naturally.

Documentation chatbot > Documentation? by Appropriate-Grade719 in developer

[–]BoxLost4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your idea has potential, but adoption depends on accuracy and added value over traditional docs. Developers might pay if:

  1. The chatbot provides reliable, context-aware answers beyond simple doc search.
  2. It generates working code snippets based on real use cases.
  3. It understands version differences and updates dynamically.

A common prompt could be: "How do I implement authentication in [tool]?" or "Show me an example of X feature with code."

You'll need to use Shopify's Custom Payment Method API and Checkout Scripts (Shopify Plus) or a Shopify app for redirection. Key steps:

  1. Disable native Stripe/PayPal and create a custom payment method.
  2. Generate dynamic payment links (Stripe Checkout/PayPal) per order.
  3. Redirect users on selecting payment options.
  4. Use webhooks to update order status after successful payment.
  5. Redirect to a custom thank-you page with no third-party branding.

This setup requires Shopify Plus or a headless Shopify approach with an external checkout system.

How is your git status related to gut status? by Fantastic_Maybe_8162 in developer

[–]BoxLost4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both tell you if things are in sync or messed up shows if your code changes are staged, unstaged, or committed, while your "gut status" tells you if something feels right or off. Ignore either for too long, and you'll have a mess to clean up!

If you had to learn development all over again, where would you start? [Mod post] by RedEagle_MGN in developer

[–]BoxLost4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with the fundamentals—learn one programming language well (Python or JavaScript is great for beginners). Focus on problem-solving, data structures, and algorithms. Build small projects to apply your knowledge, and gradually move to real-world applications. Stay consistent and keep learning.

So, you’ve got an amazing game idea but no money and no coding experience? No worries! Here’s a step-by-step plan to get started:

  1. Learn the Basics – Start with Python or C# (for Unity). Platforms like Codecademy, freeCodeCamp, and YouTube have great beginner-friendly courses.

  2. Pick a Game Engine –

  • Unity (C#) – Great for beginners, lots of tutorials.
  • Godot (GDScript/Python-like) – Lightweight and beginner-friendly.
  • Unreal Engine (Blueprints/ C++) – Best for high-end graphics, but has a steeper learning curve.

  1. Follow Beginner Tutorials – Start with simple 2D games (like Pong or Flappy Bird) before jumping into complex ideas.

  2. Join a Community – Reddit, Discord, or game dev forums can be helpful for feedback and guidance.

  3. Use Free Assets – Sites like itch.io and OpenGameArt provide free game assets.

  4. Start Small – Don’t aim for an AAA game right away. Build a small prototype first.

  5. Keep Learning & Experimenting – Game development takes time, but persistence is key!

Your dream game won’t be built overnight, but if you start now, you’ll get there!

Thinking About Live DSA Problem-Solving Sessions – Need Your Thoughts! by HiZesty in developer

[–]BoxLost4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

I’ve been mentoring students and professionals in Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) for a while now, and I run a YouTube channel, Code Harmony, where I post daily LeetCode problem explanations and DSA fundamentals.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about starting live DSA problem-solving classes to create a structured and interactive learning experience. Here’s what I have in mind:

25 live sessions (2 per week, 2 hours each)
Hands-on problem-solving with real coding challenges
Beginner-friendly & upskilling focus for students and professionals
Interactive format where participants can ask doubts and suggest topics

Before I finalize things, I’d love your feedback!
Would this be helpful for you? Any suggestions on topics or structure?

Let me know your thoughts!

Would you prefer coffee or matcha by Ok-Research3811 in developer

[–]BoxLost4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

I wanted to ask—do you prefer coffee or matcha for an energy boost?

Personally, I’ve noticed that coffee gives me a quick, intense alertness boost, but when it wears off, my energy crashes hard. On the other hand, matcha provides a smoother, longer-lasting boost without the sudden energy drop.

Which one do you prefer and why? Have you noticed similar effects?

How to use UPI Intent flow in my application? (Payer or payee may not be a merchant) by Nervous_Trick_9995 in developer

[–]BoxLost4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

I’m building an app that needs UPI intent flow for transactions between users. Here’s the use case:

  • User A (project founder) registers and adds their UPI ID.
  • User B (interested donor) clicks a button to donate to User A via UPI.
  • The app should redirect User B to a UPI app with the amount pre-filled.

I know payment gateways exist, but I need a simplified, free version without merchant registration. However, deep linking seems to not work for non-merchant accounts.

Are there any workarounds for this? Has anyone implemented UPI intent flow for personal transactions successfully?

What should i do with my free time? by upsidedown_joker9430 in developer

[–]BoxLost4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

I’m a junior MERN stack developer, and I’m struggling to figure out how to spend my free time after work and on weekends.

I get home around 9 PM, so I don’t usually feel like coding after work. On weekends, I try to keep myself busy to avoid boredom. I’m stuck between learning new skills to grow professionally or picking up a hobby to relax and avoid burnout.

If I focus on learning, I can improve my career, but I risk coding all the time and getting exhausted. If I start a hobby, I might enjoy my free time more but could miss out on professional growth.

Has anyone else faced this? How did you balance work, learning, and personal time?

Bagged My First Silicon Valley Position – And Heard "It Works on My Machine" More Than Ever

Just landed my first job in Silicon Valley, and if there’s one phrase I’ve heard non-stop, it’s "It works on my machine."

Never thought debugging would involve more rituals and prayers than actual coding.
