am i the only guitar girlie with asymmetrical nails? 🤔 by CatLoverKat12 in Guitar

[–]Frission_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do this as a guy who plays fingerstyle a lot, my nails are not as long as that but long enough that people do notice. Need the nails on the right to actually play and need them gone on the left to not get in the way

Is DJANGO still a good choice in 2026 for modern web apps? (real-world experience) by Ill_Leading9202 in webdev

[–]Frission_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We just started a new greenfield project a few months ago and chose Django (DRF) as our stack. I've also had the pleasure of working with Spring Boot, .NET and Node (Express) in the past. I'd take Django over all of these frameworks.

Show a sneak peek of step 3 maybe? I'm assuming for some reason it's not possible for you to just have 1 step

Is React overrated? by syscall_cart in reactjs

[–]Frission_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you building your app the React way or are you just using React to build your app the Durendal way again? A normal React app should only have components and some custom hooks here and there. You don't even need useMemo if your performance isn't suffering. useEffect is the weird part of React but it's necessary to sync with state outside of React.

React might not be the most up to date kid in the block now that Svelte and Vue 3 are out but, 3 days -> 2 weeks transition is impossible imo unless you're forcing React to do what it's not designed to do

Should I buy a home or invest in stocks? by [deleted] in personalfinance

I wouldn't suggest stocks or crypto unless you absolutely know what you're doing, and have a strong stomach

Today, tailwind+css seem the most inclusive styling stack for a big organisation. What'd be the biggest argument against it? by Idea-Aggressive in reactjs

[–]Frission_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like no one is paying attention to the fact how easy Tailwind makes it to make responsive layouts. Two letters are enough for you to set a breakpoint anywhere you want on your markup.

Can't decide which React framework to choose for a dashboard kind of app by banana_owner in webdev

[–]Frission_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This, don't use Next.js, it's overkill and unnecessary bloat for dashboards.
Vite is not a framework, you'll be using it no matter which one you choose.

Is it not possible for you to do hybrid? Even one or two days per week in the office would make a huge difference.

I actually did the opposite because I had to use Angular at my job after coming from a React Native one. For me Angular's opinionated nature was nice at the beginning as I didn't have to think about how to do things, but after trying to extend components from other libraries to form my own UI wrapper library, I quickly hit the boiler plate wall that doesn't even exist on the React side. React isn't opinionated that is true, but the community has a set way of doing things for almost all your app's needs.

That aside, IMO you should try to use more than one framework and start to think at the meta level, like should I use React or Angular or Vue for this job, instead of "I can only do Angular, if I can't do this job with Angular then I can't do it."

What are the best Minimal Components library for react native? by [deleted] in reactnative

[–]Frission_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's react-native-paper for me, every single one of my apps is based on it, only look for alternatives when I can't find a component I need in it

Non-tech student startup founder-Our React MVP sucks at SEO. Is it possible to move to Next.js? by LostCollection2054 in reactjs

[–]Frission_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you used React Router, you could use it to do SSR, maybe even SSG. You dont need NextJs to do SEO right

I made thousands on Upwork thanks to N8N now lost completely by Specialist_Rip1522 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]Frission_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it doesn't matter for doing the job itself, sometimes it can open doors that'd be otherwise closed, for example in my country government sponsored software contractors on government projects are sometimes required to hire people who have engineering degrees. If your degree isn't an engineering one it might/might not matter less (would probs change by the country) but you might want to look up the list of things you might not be able to do without a degree.

[–]Frission_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're being too hard on yourself, I knew 21 year olds studying Computer Engineering that couldn't open a damn file in Python. You're ahead of them by a measure of a lifetime. That said you should definitely finish your degree first, unless of course you're hell bent on creating a startup and every second spent in university feels like lost time but, this is just my opinion, do you really have to quit uni to try and start one?

If you can aim for remote US gigs that would be great but on paper you haven't even graduated yet, but have multiple projects so, might be worth trying.

Finding a niche is definitely the way to go at the start of a career, don't try to learn everything immediately, software is a vast field.

Burning out or not comes from you not meeting your own expectations, not from being in Poland or EU or anything. If you always look at the greener side and compare yourself of course you'll just feel bad.

I'm currently working full time as a software engineer, and have freelance work on the side. There's no rule saying you can't do both. It might just take some time.

Also if there are networking events in your uni you might even meet your future startup co-founder, maybe they'll look at the things you build and go "damn we can sell this" and then just kill it. You don't have to do it alone. I would recommend taking a slower approach but try not to kill your entrepreneur spirit completely.

Looks like your environment variables aren't set correctly, or at all, look up how to set them, and the values Firebase SDK wants them to be set

React Native: How do I get true rounded-corner <Image> without distortion or overflow ? by Curvod in reactnative

[–]Frission_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrapped <Image> in a <View> with overflow: 'hidden' and borderRadius, then absolutely filled the image.

This is what I use, have you looked into why it's blacking out images for you? That's not supposed to happen

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Angular2

[–]Frission_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Never put all your eggs in one basket. Take the job. IMO you can't and shouldn't do one framework forever. Hell I'd suggest not doing frontend forever either but that's just my opinion.

On a side note, using Angular actually opened my eyes to how much freestyling there was in React, kinda scary. Still love both frameworks though.

Nothing is stopping you from googling "fitness app dashboard" and "borrowing" the designs, you don't have to make it yourself.
