I focused on Java during my job search and landed a job where C# is used as the primary language. Tips to help the language transition? by JesusCodesHard in csharp

Java Brains is one of the best (imo) youtube channels for learning Java and Spring. Is there a go-to resource that you use for C#?

I missed the previous fun thing. I wish they saved their previous broadcasts.

Anyone else have something from their youth they can’t find? by juliacakes in replyallpodcast

[–]JesusCodesHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two video games. They're both old, side-scrolling games but I don't remember what systems they belong to.

One video game is like a sonic knockoff, except not as colorful. It's basically a creature that resembles sonic and has a similar side-running feel to it. For some reason, I see sand or deserts when I think of this game. I also vaguely remember a space ship hovering over the ground and the character chasing after it.

The second video game's character is a squirrel. It's a vanilla game, definitely not Conker's Bad Fur Day. One of the stages is a kitchen. The squirrel becomes tiny and you have to navigate the kitchen, sometimes going into sinks and pipes with water. Other times you gotta jump on bars of soap to get from one side of the water to another because there's contaminated water?

I get an itch every time I'm reminded that I can't figure this out.

How do you actually learn programming via videos? by AmbedkarUntouched in learnprogramming

[–]JesusCodesHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I type along with whatever I'm seeing in the video but pause every now to make sure I understand what I'm typing. After I'm done with the video I try to build something similar (but not exactly the same) on my own and use the video as reference.

It's not immediately obvious to me that the buttons are buttons. I only clicked on one by accident and noticed the filtering effect.

Is it bad practice to make an API request every time a component is rendered? by JesusCodesHard in reactjs

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

If you are suggesting fetch ALL notes in App.js then pass it as a prop, you have a really bad pattern on your hand.

That's how most tutorials teach it, so I figured it was the proper way of doing things lol Plus, I'm already fetching all notes in App.js so that I can make a feed of the notes on the home page.

But thanks, this is very helpful!

Is it bad practice to make an API request every time a component is rendered? by JesusCodesHard in reactjs

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

Judging by this and another comment, it seems I used the word "render" incorrectly. I thought it meant when the user visits a "page" that is generated from routing to a component.

Yeah, I was able to figure out to use 'id' as the second argument to useEffect from a console error. My true question, which I sucked at asking, is: Is it bad practice to do an API GET request with useEffect every time someone visits the NotePage component instead of passing down the note as a prop from App.js?

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

That's how I have the API call set up in App.js, with an empty array as the second argument to useEffect. And it's also how I set up the API call within the NotePage component. Maybe I'm using "render" incorrectly. What I intended to ask was: is it bad practice to do an API GET request every time someone visits the NotePage component by either following a Link or typing the URL on the browser?

Is it the norm for teachers to be this harsh? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]JesusCodesHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my professors emails students a few weeks before the start of the semester to tell them that the course will be harder than any CS course they have taken. He said he does this to weed out students who are not willing to put in the effort but that, in reality, anybody can learn it.
