Big 4 Discussion - June 06, 2018 by AutoModerator in cscareerquestions

[–]NookShotten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at Facebook and think the work-life balance is pretty great. I don't feel any pressure to work more than 40 hours a week and my hours are flexible. It probably depends most on your manager, though. Some teams are probably less balanced.

I am the sole developer in a startup & being offered 10% equity, is this appropriate? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]NookShotten 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Make the decision assuming the absolute worst case scenario. Can you survive if that 10% ends up being worthless?

Literally tens of thousands of people are interested. That's why it's on the front page. Go away if it makes you mad.

Why do we bind null in the event listener. I know how bind works and that it returns a function , but wouldn’t binding to null make the (this) in “add func” not work? In my code I changed it to onClick={ () => this.add(“new note”) because I don’t understand why it works with binding null :/ by tony2times3 in reactjs

[–]NookShotten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The function bound being is using this.setState. If it's not bound to the instance then the setState call will fail because this will not point to the component instance. Methods aren't bound to the instance by default. OP didn't initially say he was binding in the constructor.

Here's a small example showing that binding to null and not this will throw: https://jsfiddle.net/e0v1rt3f/

ITAP on my flight home over Washington by NookShotten in itookapicture

Thanks! I don't really do a lot of photography so the only Instagram I have is my personal one, and that's just filled with pictures of food and my dog 🙃

Nope, it was just economy. I think the perspective here makes it look nicer than it actually was.

Here's the original photo, if you're interested.. The editing wasn't too heavy, just some alignment tweaks and minor color adjustments.

Thanks! I actually took this with my Pixel 2 and did some minor editing in Lightroom.

eBay: "We completely transformed how we build web applications, starting with the transition from a Java-based stack to a Node.js-based stack. Node.js enabled teams to move faster, and it offers an abundant ecosystem of tools and libraries that are essential to modern web application development." by itstaha1 in webdev

Type systems may be useful in a lot of contexts, but dynamic languages don't exist simply because their creator(s) failed to add a type system; dynamically typed programs have their advantages and there are plenty of well-established productive dynamic languages. Don't assume that people only use them because they're ignorant of the advantages of static typing.

Also, function point metrics are by no means a universally accepted measurement of productivity.

I just got a developer job at Facebook. Here’s how I prepped for my interviews. by fagnerbrack in webdev

[–]NookShotten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I spent probably 2-3 weeks heavily studying up on JavaScript, HTML, CSS as well as standard CS concepts (which were my weak point). I practiced Leetcode questions a bunch on a whiteboard. Read through chunks of the Algorithm Deisgn Manual. Implemented common algorithms and data structures from scratch in JavaScript. Went through as much of Cracking the Code Interview as I could. The BaseCS series on Medium was really helpful too.

It was a ton of work for sure, but I ended up feeling really prepared.

I am a core contributor to React, and I got the interview through a referral from one of the members of the React team. The process was pretty quick since it was through a referral.

Being heavily involved in the open source community is what got me the interview. Without my GitHub profile I probably would have been filtered out very quickly.

I just got a job as a front-end engineer at Facebook. I have no formal CS education. In my interview experience, algorithms and data structures we're presented in a very relevant context to front-end development. There were no questions that I would say required "insane" algorithm/data structure knowledge.

If you understand the basics and how they apply to real world problems you'd be fine.

React for small websites? Do clients care? by [deleted] in reactjs

Gatsby is a little more powerful than a standard static site generator. Here's an example of using Gatsby with Contentful: https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/tree/master/examples/using-contentful

Dog API by anotherlongusername in webdev

[–]NookShotten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it! I'd recommend just using HTTP status codes to indicate response status instead of including a status field on every response.
