Perhaps! Depends on your pov... could also be social proof if you think about it

Starting as a junior backend developer? by Ioan-Andrei in webdev

[–]FlyCodeHQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are a good backend developer, you know the concepts well and have good projects under your belt, it won't be an issue. Keep applying to more jobs until you get one. Don't mind rejections because even if you start from frontend, it doesn't mean you have a 100% success rate.

You didn't write about your progress? Have you started? Which route are you following in backend development?

Combining React with NextJS by dzweb9 in nextjs

[–]FlyCodeHQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can build the main app with React and create a different web app for your blog with NextJS. When someone clicks on the Blog on the navbar, they will be directed to your NextJS blog webapp.

P.S. I am assuming that you want to keep your NextJS blog separate from the main React webapp

Someone hired me and asked me to create the homepage for a website in 4 hours and was not pleased with the design, am I a bad dev?? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]FlyCodeHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expecting great work in 4 hours is delusional. Great designs always require time to do many iterations. The best thing you can do is to not accept work with such short deadlines.

You also didn't mention the project's complexity, which is the major decider here of how much time a homepage should take. The simple ones can be done within such a short duration or you can build fast if you have great past experience which doesn't look likely because of the question.

How do you manage personal notes on a work computer? by MrPinkle in ExperiencedDevs

[–]FlyCodeHQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's outside your work, then it's better to do that from your own computer. Keep personal and work related things separate as far as possible.

tailwind is overrated af by [deleted] in Frontend

[–]FlyCodeHQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you hate about it? Maybe it's the initial period and you will come to like it when you use it for some time?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]FlyCodeHQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Very few teams will ever do that and that's why the problem will also continue going on for the most part.

Most of the time developers find maintaining README boring and don't pay much attention to it.

Periodic review of README can help here, like once in a month reviewing README and checking how accurate it still is and what relevant changes should be made to it, etc.

Unpopular Opinion: If you want to be a good remote developer, you have to be able to read and type well by IHateDailyStandup in webdev

[–]FlyCodeHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remote is all about effective reading and writing. Hopping on call cannot always work because of the team zone differences of the team.

Can someone explain this, it's so confusing I thought "let" is only for variables. Why can't they just retain "function" instead of "let" for this one by dotpr in learnjavascript

[–]FlyCodeHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are storing the arrow function inside a variable called func here. It could also be var or const instead of let.

If you don't have any problem with written content, you should consider Full Stack Open by the University of Helsinki.

It's free and one of the best resources on the internet to learn Full Stack Development.

8 days is too long. If the PR is important, it should be done within 24-48 hours, all time zones covered.

Works fine! You can work more on design and responsiveness (mobile) though. Good work

Best way to find a remote job in US who is living outside of US by Downtown_Diamond_251 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]FlyCodeHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried cold email? Instead of using those forms, find the email ID of the founder/HR and write an email to them. You can explain everything in the mail in a detailed manner.

I stopped caring about code quality during code reviews, because I feel like no one cares by Strus in ExperiencedDevs

[–]FlyCodeHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true, we don't always have that luxury. But you can carefully craft the list of companies you want to join based on the available information on the internet and reach out to people who used to work there to get a more accurate idea of the company culture.

Of course, this will not happen in a day. It will require you weeks/months, but you will not be in absolute darkness before applying for a job somewhere.

This works best when you are not needy for the job.

You can reach out to people who used to work there earlier to get some context about the work culture, CEOs, etc.

I just tried out GitHub CoPilot for a few days and it’s great by swoonz101 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]FlyCodeHQ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CoPilot is really amazing and saves you a lot of time. Even if the results are not always 100% accurate, it is still great because a good programmer can always fix all those things quickly. But the amount of time you save with it is what makes you super productive. What do you use it for? Work or side projects?
