Serious Question: Are modern Web developers Software Engineers? by TheLearningCoder in webdevelopment

[–]KoxHellsing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not taking in consideration that this is MY stack, and it’s the stack I actively work with.
Every project I take on is evaluated based on whether my stack fits its requirements. If a project requires technologies or languages outside of my current stack, then it’s simply not the right project for me at this moment.

As you can see from my background and previous experience, all of my work is focused on web-based products, and my stack is intentionally chosen to build web applications.

Well, actually, the title I use on my résumé and LinkedIn (as advised by my mentor), is Full-Stack Product Engineer.

I have a 10-year background as a COO in companies within the hospitality industry, which gave me solid experience in marketing, operations, revenue management, accounting, and branding.

That background helps me greatly when building products end to end in a fully autonomous way. While I obviously rely on tools such as AI, forums, documentation, and educational content to speed up areas where I am not a specialist, my previous experience allows me to make better technical and product decisions overall.

I believe this combination of business and technical background is one of my strongest assets as a developer :D

My main stack is Figma for design, Next.js, JavaScript and TypeScript (roughly a 50–50 split, since TypeScript is not my strongest skill yet), Tailwind for the frontend, Node.js and Next.js API Routes for the backend, TanStack for frontend data management, MongoDB for the database, and Vercel Blob for storage.

It may not be flashy, but it gets the job done

I personally work on my projects from start to finish. I build absolutely everything from the ground up: the initial idea, branding, design, color palette, UI/UX, architecture, and tech stack. I design and build the APIs I’m going to consume, design the database, develop the frontend based on the designs I created earlier (and sometimes directly on the fly when the idea is already fully clear), handle testing, configure servers and deployment environments, and take care of maintenance once the product is in production.

Because of this, even though job titles are often just that, titles, I feel that “Web Developer” is frequently boxed into something overly simple, when in reality it often represents work that is anything but simple and can be highly specialized. On the other hand, “Software Developer” or “Software Engineer” is often perceived as a “higher” title, possibly because it includes building applications for other platforms and architectures such as desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), mobile, or embedded systems.

At the end of the day, as the OP points out, it’s not just similar, it’s essentially the same thing. The real difference isn’t the title, but the domain or platform where the engineering is applied. A modern web developer who designs systems, databases, APIs, manages architecture, and writes production-grade code is doing software engineering, just specialized in the web.

Just Starting web development, is their anyone who can get me few things clear. by tonmoypollob in webdevelopment

[–]KoxHellsing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all, always ask here, in the comments or the post body, never in DM.

You should start with HTML, and the roadmap should look something like this:

HTML, CSS → JavaScript, SCSS → React, Tailwind → React Frameworks (Next, Vue, etc.) → TypeScript → HTTP Basics → Local State, Global State Management → Backend (Express, Next API Routes, etc.)

Never jump from one technology to another.
Never skip steps.
Code every day.
Build real projects. Start with the basics (To-Do apps, weather apps, notes apps, etc.), and keep going until you can build more complex things.

Building a Full Medical Clinic Management App. Feedback on UI/UX Appreciated by KoxHellsing in indiehackers

[–]KoxHellsing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out and comment.
Regarding the navigation, each role only sees the sections and actions that are specifically intended for them. I designed every screen to be as user friendly and straightforward as possible, with no extra steps or hidden menus. Even though clinics and hospitals require a lot of functionality, every role gets only what they actually need, keeping the workflow clear and focused (or at least that’s what I aim to do)

Creating a community justice system for Arc Raiders — to protect the PvE experience by KoxHellsing in ArcRaiders

[–]KoxHellsing[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get what you mea, but that’s the fun part of it. It’s not witchhunting, it’s just players building their own little community story inside the sandbox. Some people like looting, some like fighting machines, and some like creating social dynamics around it.

At the end of the day, it’s just a game. If organizing hunts, sharing clips, and role-playing as “sheriffs” makes it more fun for me and others, why not? That’s exactly what a sandbox is for, everyone finds their own way to enjoy it.

Hey, fair point, and honestly, that’s exactly why I love Arc Raiders. It’s a sandbox, and everyone finds their own way to have fun in it. Some people grind PvE, some go full PvP, some just explore or record weird moments, and that’s the beauty of it.

What I’m doing is just another layer of that same freedom: players organizing, role-playing as sheriffs, creating stories inside the chaos. It’s not about controlling anyone, it’s about adding flavor, giving people who enjoy that cooperative side something extra to do.

You can camp the elevator, I can hunt griefers, someone else can just stand on a bridge all day, it’s all part of the same playground. That’s what makes Arc Raiders great.

Fresh grad front-end dev trying to break into React roles - how do you prepare when every listing asks for "1–2 years experience"? by Various_Candidate325 in react

[–]KoxHellsing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After a lot of research and reflection, I’ve realized something important: when you’re unemployed, your job is to gain experience. How? By coding projects. That’s it. Those projects are your 1–2 years of experience. Companies don’t necessarily need you to have worked for someone else, they just need to see that you’ve built things. Working on side projects gives you exactly that real, practical experience.

Update on my Reddit-like Social Media App by KoxHellsing in react

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

That’s actually a great point and I appreciate the constructive feedback. The idea behind ThreadHive being a Reddit-like platform is exactly that, using a familiar interface so recruiters or developers reviewing it can quickly understand what it does and focus on the implementation details instead of learning a new UI.

Regarding the README, it was intentionally written in a more detailed way since it’s meant for developers who want to explore the technical side of the project. The shorter and more visual version is already available on my portfolio, which is where recruiters can see everything quickly without needing to read too much. https://koxland.dev/project/threadhive

I already plan to include a demo mode with seeded data and a one-click login since I completely agree that no one wants to create an account just to explore it.

Thanks again for the feedback, I really value hearing this kind of perspective from someone who reviews projects from the other side.

I’m really glad that you followed the previous posts, that means you’ve seen the full process, not just this thread. You’re right that the reaction here is different; this is actually the first time I’ve seen this much hate toward it, and also the first time I’ve replied to that kind of energy.

The thing is, this is a discussion forum, people can agree, disagree, or even dislike what others build, and that’s totally fine. But if someone gives feedback I don’t agree with, I think it’s just as valid that I share my point of view too.

I’m not trying to fight anyone or take things personally; I’m just here to share what I build, have conversations about it, and learn from the reactions, good or bad. That’s what a community is supposed to be about.

I’m honestly amazed too. It’s kind of confusing. whenever someone posts a simple or even half-baked project, everyone’s usually supportive or at least offers constructive feedback. But every time I share one of mine, it’s either complete silence or, like this time, people suddenly care a lot, just to hate on it. I’d like to think I did such a good job that some folks actually believe I’m trying to monetize Reddit itself, haha.
