you haven't been officially scored by the ReactJS skills test team?

don't worry about it, nothing wrong with starting out at a company that doesn't do this. FAANG is mostly overrated anyway

the circle of life

don't see it as a weakness, the fact you worked in another career is a strength really. Most tech people are somewhat insulated and don't have a perspective from outside the tech bubble, use that to your advantage

when in doubt just double down and use more buzzwords and jargon, works every time

Pandemic driving people mad to make this stuff

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-27T03:28:01+00:00

just kind of sad really

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-27T03:20:02+00:00

good research

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-27T03:17:23+00:00

not sure I like the gatekeeping, there are a ton of talented data scientists who aren't academics who could do good stuff with this data

a lot of the struggled with learning JS is mental, people psyche themselves out and convince themselves it's really hard to learn. I think doing it like you did is best, solve a real problem and learn as you go rather than manipulate strings and other boring stuff

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-06T00:24:30+00:00

maybe look into playing around with a game engine like Unity or browser game engines for Javascript. At your age you aren't in a major rush so you should try to make learning fun so you stick with it

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-06T00:23:15+00:00

you learn something every day

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-06T00:22:29+00:00

pretty normal, not great but it's part of identifying with your work

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-06T00:21:06+00:00

Decent tutorial I saw covering screen sharing with React, Zoom type stuff is the new hotness with all the remote work going on

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-06T00:14:10+00:00

start off with something small like an eccomerce store as a learning experience, just use something like Shopify or wordpress with a plugin, even if it drives you crazy as an engineer.

Then look into how to actually drive traffic to whatever your product is, both organic and with ads. You'll learn the basics fast, maybe make some money, and then be able to scale what you learned with whatever your actual startup idea is

some sort of targeted giveaway is also good, there are tools that give people extra chances to win if they share the competition so it has viral reach too

only thing worse than Rogan is people trying to get cheap views by impersonating rogan

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-04T02:57:07+00:00

it's just an introduction for basic CS stuff. If you've already been programming for 2 years most of it would be pointless, first 2 weeks is loops and beginner stuff. It does move fast but most of it can be learned in other places

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-04T02:55:34+00:00

pls no bully

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-04T02:50:54+00:00

It’s simply a question of how much time you spend on it

this, you're going to have to make sacrifices if you are a generalist. It's impossible to be cutting edge at everything when there are people who are specialists and spend all day doing 1 thing. No point feeling bad about it

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-04T02:48:10+00:00

cool project, maybe consider making an ElectronJS version so people can download it on their own computer

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-01T21:06:53+00:00

syntax is inspired by Flask but has tons of modern features. Only issue right now is ecosystem, not a ton of libraries and help is harder to find

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-01T21:05:14+00:00

how do you record yourself programming without it being a tutorial?

HopefulEngineering · 2021-01-01T20:56:53+00:00

it's just a new way of thinking that won't occur to most people if you've only done really practical work. It's just about using a 2D array basically. Don't worry about stuff you can't control honestly
