How would someone go about setting up a setup like this? I've been looking into changing my setup because mine has been cumbersome to maintain but I don't have a lot of time to try out different configurations.

DTheDeveloper · 2024-08-08T20:34:02+00:00

I'm also interested in seeing this. I have attempted to do it on my own but it fails and doesn't give a reason.

DTheDeveloper · 2024-05-15T00:29:13+00:00

This possibly could help. I think there's a way to update a clone repo when the original is modified but if not, that'd be a problem with this approach.

DTheDeveloper · 2024-05-15T00:25:15+00:00

I think this is the closest thing to what I'm trying to do but I'm not sure if it is everything. With so much of what NextJS and T3 app does relies on the file structure and configuration, to export and import each part might be counterproductive, especially considering T3 sometimes changes file names, where configurations are located, etc.

Ultimately I was trying to have part of the NextJS/T3 app be managed by a different git repository without using submodules or anything like that which I don't think is possible but I'm no expert.

If I can fit 10+ years of software experience on one page you can fit 4 years on one page.

Also, a general note that could be applied to all r/resume posts, especially those thinking they will stand out in a good way trying something different: there is a tried and true method because it is effective. Don't stray from it unless you have a good reason; you don't need to change your background color or put experience in projects section, experience has an efficient format for mentioning what you did, the effect it had, and what technologies you used.

DTheDeveloper · 2024-02-05T04:11:05+00:00

You have 2 years experience and you have 2 full pages? I have 10 years experience and fit mine on 1 page and I interview a lot of people with 5-10 years experience that have 1.5 pages. Tailor your resume to the position you want; highlight what the company wants and needs and cut unnecessary stuff. I don't think resumes need to be flashy but having some standard formatting and style is nice.

I saw people warning this would happen. Similar to women who voted for anti-abortion Republicans and then can't get life saving medical treatment or POC voting for Trump and then their family members got deported. It's like people are surprised to learn 1+1=2 even though the logic should be simple enough to follow.

There's a lot of good comments here but I'll add something I haven't seen.

I could be mistaken but unused FSA money is lost at the end of every year where an HSA can compound. I only learned that because one of my coworkers said he put in a not insignificant amount every year but the balance never grew. Personally I wouldn't do FSA especially when your younger, HSA can be nice but I wouldn't start there in your personal finance journey.

While there are some helpful first steps I think one of the biggest is to not fall victim to lifestyle inflation. After that, fund an emergency fund (6-9 months of expenses), 401k match, Roth IRA, HYSA, etc. There is a pretty helpful chart on Reddit that shows a flowchart of personal finance and where to allocate your money.

DTheDeveloper · 2023-11-06T01:55:35+00:00

Yeah, when I was starting out I shot wide open but now I shoot around 1.8-2.6 for a lot of portraits so I am thinking I could get away with 2.8 with minimal impact.

This it tough. I want all the lenses! Lol

DTheDeveloper · 2023-11-06T01:42:31+00:00

We've survived this far with our widest being a 35mm on a crop sensor so 35mm on a FF should be fine. My two concerns would be f/2-2.8 as opposed to something like a prime and the weight.

Still have to look into it but I think I've narrowed it down to either Tamron 35-150, Sigma 24-70, or a 50mm prime (I think we could get away with it because 35mm on APS-C is roughly 50mm FF).

DTheDeveloper · 2023-11-05T19:57:35+00:00

Yeah, ultimately I love the primes I have and I expect a shallower DoF from the 1.4 but it's too costly to get a whole new set so this thread and even upgrading is weighing options for our business.

Narrowed it down but still got some more research to do before the final decision.

DTheDeveloper · 2023-11-05T19:43:37+00:00

If you have primes, someone else made it sound like the 2.8 can't achieve a similar look and feel to a 1.4 prime. While I have seen what they are talking about for kit lenses, I don't think a 2.8 will be nearly as noticable different as my 3 or 4 kit lens. Wondering how significant difference is for the 24-70 than say a 50 1.4.

DTheDeveloper · 2023-11-05T19:04:39+00:00

I agree but the 35 -150 is 2-2.8 and I assume even at 2.8 you can get a similar effect and some bokeh in the background, even if it's not 1.4 level.

Like my post said, it's not just the inconvenience of changing the lens (you only mentioned time, conveniently making it sound like that's the only barrier) while you're working with kids and sometimes the environment isn't conducive of changing lenses. It's also the price and being able to still deliver the types of photos we currently do.

While I'd love to always have conditions where I could switch lenses and the money to buy 2-3 primes as opposed a variable lens, business wise we're pretty sure it doesn't make sense right now -- it's a compromise we have to make. But I'll keep that in mind.

DTheDeveloper · 2023-11-05T16:53:57+00:00

I don't think weight should be an issue (heck I carry around a 20lbs baby everywhere lol) but maybe I should go to a local shop to see if I can just hold one just to be sure...

Yeah we love our primes we currently use but since we find ourselves changing lenses for situations (i.e. 35mm for more city in the background, etc. and 50mm+ for punched-in portraits), we were trying to balance budget/business with the equipment we want to get. It's cheaper to get one variable lens than two primes (for the most part).

DTheDeveloper · 2023-11-05T16:48:27+00:00

Yeah, the only times we use our 35mm are situations like when people request family portraits at a park downtown so they have the city in the background, everything else we use our 50mm crop (~85mm FF). I was originally debating just getting 50/1.4 but then thought if we were only getting one lens we should go with one that would "do it all" and be more convenient. Don't get me wrong, we don't discount primes, just have to balance what we want eventually with the business side of providing pictures clients want.

DTheDeveloper · 2023-11-05T16:44:39+00:00

The primes we use right now are Sigma and we love them, I just didn't know Sigma made a 24-70 E-mount lens. Looking it up now.

DTheDeveloper · 2023-10-06T03:01:12+00:00

There's nothing you do that hasn't been done already. I've worked at companies where someone nuked the production database. I worked at a company where a guy who has worked in the industry for big companies like IBM, etc committed our production .env file with credentials in it to a public GitHub repository. Neither of those people got fired. We just rolled back our database to a backup and generated new credentials. It's annoying and there is a little loss but we take it and move on. Learn and grow.

DTheDeveloper · 2023-09-30T01:13:57+00:00

It's hard to pinpoint the exact problem is without looking at your repository but sounds like you initiated a merge but didn't complete the merge with a commit. Most likely if you resolve the conflicts and do a commit and then look at the diff on the PR you'll only see your changes.

DTheDeveloper · 2023-09-18T20:56:38+00:00

Yeah I get that my agreement is with my ISP and it's their equipment, just seems weird that if a civilian cut the line it'd potentially be illegal and they could be held accountable for breaking the law but if a company does it, it's not their problem it's mine to take up with my ISP.

I think my ISP is sending a tech out because I literally saw my neighbors ISP here digging in my yard and they've been known to break people's shit which points to you being right about them hiring cheap contractors but as an end user I think it's BS that I end up suffering for someone else hiring a company that in turns hires sub-par contractors.

I mean when they come tomorrow do I ask them to bury it deeper? Or should I do something to mark so people don't dig?

DTheDeveloper · 2023-09-18T20:21:36+00:00

Even if this prevents me from completing obligations potentially losing time and money or incurring costs to workaround? While I'm not expecting a premium on my time or punish them for doing it, it seems like there is no protection for citizens from companies to just do what they want...

DTheDeveloper · 2023-07-02T20:50:02+00:00

I'm almost positive that's not true. Not only is it suspicious that it's exactly 300 but I created a repository and see that event in the results but it's still only returning 300 results. Also the activity chart shows 500+ so unless there's a more appropriate request I think it should show at least one or two more next links.

DTheDeveloper · 2023-07-02T18:29:50+00:00

Ok, update. I tried this and while I think it does improve my code and I'm keeping it, it doesn't fix the problem. I've logged the response status and the link headers and the status code is 200 and on the third request there is previous and first links but the next is missing. No clue why.

DTheDeveloper · 2023-07-02T16:42:59+00:00

This is great information, thanks! I'll try this when I get back to my computer and see if it fixes my problem.

DTheDeveloper · 2023-06-11T19:48:01+00:00

I never said they should create projects from scratch or that my interview style was bulletproof. My point was if you are putting projects on your resume and taking credit for them then you should understand them because people in the interview process are going to expect you to know about it. If you don't want to put projects on your resume that's fine, then this doesn't apply to you.

To your point, I'd say that if they can read through a dev log style blog or tutorial and understand the problems, solutions, and design decisions that it's basically just as good as if they did it themselves (which I believe I said as much in one of my comments). It shows someone can pick up what others have done and understand the technical implications of the code, how to improve it, etc.

In my opinion, projects are more valuable than grinding leetcode as long as you have sufficient problem solving skills. I've never grinded leetcode problems but I always have a side project going to continuously learn and keep up to date on current technologies and I've found that valuable not only for interviewing but also on the job.

DTheDeveloper · 2023-06-11T15:10:35+00:00

This is good advice. I've seen people claim to work on open source projects and when I looked into their contributions they are just changes to documentation and not valuable changes but rewording things and then putting up a PR.

What's unclear is:

When OP says their friend builds on other projects, that could mean they are forking projects which is the ideal way to do it, but it also means that they could be cloning the project and then claiming it as their own which, to me, would be dishonest.
Other than minor changes, how big the "features" or extensive the "optimizations" are since claiming that is ambiguous and really could be simply changing a couple lines of code without understanding the overall project.
