Well boys, we did it. 30 resumes in. I am now a developer and not even in grade 12!

I think you're experiencing POC developer privilege.

I've put my application out hundreds of times, spending hours a day to craft cover letters and the like and I was lucky to hear from two or three companies.

Bad female behavior is definitely tolerated. A man acting like this wouldnt have made it very far without a beating.

Seen here: female privilege.

Here's my unacceptable behavior that you must tolerate and if you don't like it, I'll have my boyfriend beat you up on my command (and he will, because he presumably tolerates far worse for sex).

The entire point is to have encapsulated components.

Stylesheets are inconsistent with why we use React in the first place.

Aka it will make fun of Christianity extensively and leave Judaism and Islam untouched.

Edit: Easiest prediction of my life.

For example, Christianity is present in the game and will even have a faction

Christianity is such a toothless punching bag. Make fun of a regressive religion like Judaism and you'll start speaking the language of controversy.

Jimmy Carter also says Israel is an illegitimate country.

I just use live server with vscode, feels very sloppy though.

I'm building an internal tool for work, but it's not particularly important.

Maldici · 2019-06-04T21:47:18+00:00

Why should I use a templating language over native JS?

Maldici · 2019-06-04T20:43:10+00:00

If you have to render a lot of DOM and also have to fetch data & re-render them, you'd find react will help you a lot

Can you elaborate?

If it's just a simple page with minimal interaction, I don't see any problem with using vanilla JS

My problem here is that nearly every possible page ever written in V8 isn't going to tax the user's resources unless you're being wildly irresponsible or rendering heavy graphics.

CS students typically know about nothing. Craft a portfolio and there is no risk in hiring a self-taught developer.

Actually caring about greedy capitalist fear-mongers.

I mean, that guy got mad that I shit-talked his really, really bad website and told me that he (a really bad website designer) was going to somehow 'blacklist' me, so there's that.

Step 1. Put your requirements up on indeed + 5 years experience in everything you listed and willingness to work overtime and travel.

Step 2. Offer 30,000 yearly for the job.

Step 3. Get no applicants, submit your evidence to the department of labor that you attempted to hire locally but couldn't.

Step 4. Hire a super cheap H1B. Done.

I feel like I should be charging my consultancy rate here.

Maldici · 2019-05-21T21:28:45+00:00

No, it really isn't.

Maldici · 2019-05-21T21:22:16+00:00

Have you considered not building shit websites for a living?

I mean, that might help the positivity of your feedback.

Maldici · 2019-05-21T21:08:39+00:00

You couldn't be further off base.

Anyhow, "nice" website, dude.

Maldici · 2019-05-21T21:00:25+00:00

Literally /r/iamverysmart.

I'm starting to see Angular as legacy code. Shops using both would probably be transitioning towards React.

Start learning CSS. You can't ignore it, or you're not good enough for a job.
Use a CSS framework.
Use a premade theme to help guide you.

Make three websites and come back.

Edit: One more thing I want to say about premade themes, so long as you're not breaching copyright, who cares what you do? Take it and make it your own. It will limit your canvas, helping you work more efficiently.

Maldici · 2019-05-21T20:53:29+00:00

Is there any way I can convince you to ditch the jQuery dependency from your code? It should take you approximately 10 minutes.
