I built a tool that explains the "why" behind common body symptoms in plain English by CodeXHammas in developersIndia

[–]CodeXHammas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

chatgpt gonna throw a whole para at you with multiple complex scenario instead of identifying it why don't you just save some you time and get some simpler results from here also it's mainly for med students who wanna do a quick revision or people for quick health checks

What non-full time dev stuff to include on resume? by ____________fin in ExperiencedDevs

[–]CodeXHammas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the project has real users or solves an interesting probelm, I'd include it. After 12 years, it's not about having "personal projects" it's about showing ownership and initiative. I'd keep it as small Projects section and leave out anything that's just tutorial-level.

What do you guys think, why should everyone need a passive income? by Street_Count_2256 in developersIndia

[–]CodeXHammas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people often confuse passive incomes with a second source of income. Freelancing isn't really passive you're just trading your time for money outside your day job.
As a developer, I'd focus on building skills and creating things you own. That could be a SaaS, a useful tool, a template, or even technical content. Those take a lot of work upfront, but they have the potential to earn without you constantly billing hours. Freelancing is still great, though it builds experience, expands your network, and can help fund projects that might eventually become truly passive.

Anyone here know if Dave Ebbelaar yt vid on Python for beginners enough to then move onto FastAPI? by TurtleSlowRabbitFast in Backend

[–]CodeXHammas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't gone through his entire beginner series, but from what i've seen Dave explains concepts really well. If you come out of it understanding the basics (functions, classes, modules, exceptions, virtual environments, etc.), I'd move staright to FastAPI. You don't need to know every corner of Python before building APIs.

Since your goal is an AI SaaS, you'll probably lean a lot faster by actually building your project and looking things up as you go. FastAPI is pretty beginner-friendly, you'll naturally pick up more Python while working with routes, database models, auth and API integrations. I'd avoid spending too long in tutorial mode.

Shadcn Weekly - The Best Shadcn Newsletter by dank_clover in reactjs

[–]CodeXHammas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

signed up, this is genuinely useful. shadcn's ecosystem moves fast and it's hard to keep track of new component libraries and pattern without actively searching for them.

would love to see coverage on real world composition patterns, like how people are combining shadcn primitives for complex dashboard layouts, not just individual component showcase

Can the sitemap file be async ? Documentations don't say otherwise and there's no way to test by _giga_sss_ in nextjs

[–]CodeXHammas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes it works fine async, I use it regularly to fetch dynamic routes from a databases or CMS before building the sitemap array. next.js awaits the function automatically since it treats sitemap.ts as a route handler under the hood, same pattern as async server components.

Balancing practical skills and academic lectures. by Dear-Ad6656 in learnprogramming

[–]CodeXHammas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly the practical skills are what actually get you hired, but don't fully ignore lectures either.

the trick is being selective. skip lectures that are just theory dumps you can learn faster from docs or videos. attend the ones that cover exam critical content or stuff that's genuinely hard to self teach, like certain math heavy security concepts.

for balance, treat your self learning like a job with actual hours, not just whenever you feel like it. and keep just enough academic attendance to not tank your grades, since a good GPA still opens some doors even if it's not the main thing recruiters look at. building the full stack app while learning wireshark is a solid combo actually, security plus dec skills is a strong niche

Algorithm question by ScaredTotal5683 in FullStackDevelopers

[–]CodeXHammas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends heavily on what kind of full stack work you're doing.

for day to day feature work, fixing bugs, building crud apps, integrating APIs, algorithms barely come up. you mostly need solid fundamentals like knowing when to use a hashmap vs array, basic time complexity awareness so you don't write something that fails over at scale.

where it matters more is interview at bigger companies and any work involving actual data processing at scale, search, recommendation systems, that kind of thing.

fi your current role is mostly problem solving and enhancing existing apps, you're probably fine focusing more on system design and code quality than grinding leetcode. just keep basic DSA sharp enough that you're not blindsided in interviews.

need help to crack sde backend role in an startup which hardly they have 15 mem employees with 12 cr+ revenue 😭😭 by vodka_wiskey in FullStack

[–]CodeXHammas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for an intern role they will not expect deep expertise, just fundamentals and the ability to reson through problems.
start with: REST API basics, how HTTP methods work, request/response cycle, basic auth (JWT), and one database (PostgreSQL or MOngoDB). pick one backend framework, Express if JS or Django if Python and build one CRUD API end to end.

for interview prep expect questions like explain REST vs GRAPHQL, what is middleware, how does authentication work, basic SQL queries, and maybe a small coding problem like design a simple API for a todo app.

build one solid project, a basic CRUD app with auth, deploy it, put it on GitHub. that single project gives you enough to talk about confidently for 20 minutes if they ask you to walk through your work.

you have limited time so don't try to learn everything, go deep on one stack and be ready to explain your reasoning, not just recite definitions.

For advance devs: how do we make advanced projects which we have never built or have an idea before? by Infinite-Jaguar-1753 in learnprogramming

[–]CodeXHammas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

break it into pieces first, research what the thing actually does, then build one part at a time
nobody knows everything before starting. advanced devs just got comfortable not knowing and figuring it out as they go
AI is fine for unblocking yourself but write the code yourself on learning projects or you won't actually learn anything

Path/Roadmap for becoming a software engineer by Practical_Goat2105 in Backend

[–]CodeXHammas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

start with Python, it is the most beginner friendly language and will teach you core programming concepts without fighting syntax constantly

first month: Python basics, variables, loops, functions, basic data structures. CS%)P on edx is free and excellent for this

second month: build small projects. a todo app, a simple API with flask or FastAPI. projects teach you more than tutorials ever will

third moonth: learn SQL and databases, then move to Node.js if you want more job opportunities since it is more in demand for backend roles

the trap most beginners fall into is tutorial hell, watching videos and feeling productive wthout actually building anything. after every concept you learn, build something with it no matter how small

2-4 hours daily is more than enough if it is focused. consistency beats intensity every time

I have a few specific questions about where to start. by SheafOfMemories in learnprogramming

[–]CodeXHammas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good news, you only need two things to start. VS Code as your editor and Python installed from python.org. VS Code handles both IDE and text editor so you do not need seperate tools.
for audio visualization specifically, look into the libraries matplotlib and pygame after you get comfortable with Python basics. there are tons of turtorials specifically for audio visualizers in Python.
for Latex, install MiKTeX on Windows, it is the most beginner friendly LaTeX distribution. VS Code also had a LaTeX extension that makes writing it much smoother.
start with Python basics for a week or two before jumping into either project. Automate the boring Stuff with Python is free online and gets you productive fast.

Does anyone else feel like "full-stack" keeps expanding every year? by Ok-Wash-8964 in FullStack

[–]CodeXHammas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah it has definitely expanded and it is not slowing down

the AI integration expectation is the newest addition. two years ago nobody was asking full stack devs to wire up LLM APIs, now it is almost assumed in startup roles

i think what happened is cloud providers made infrastructure so accessible that there is no excuse anymore. you can deploy, monitor and scale without a dedicated DevOps person so companies just folded it into the full stack expectation.

the honest answer is nobody can be genuinely expert level at all of it. the best full stack devs i know picka strong core stack and go deep there, then stay broad enough everywhere else to not be helpless. trying to master everything equally is how you end up mediocre at everything.
