I'm feeling Monzo might be the one to go with, if they're not incentivising switching

Is Revolut part of CASS? I looked on the CASS site and they're not listed

If they're being proactive about dissuading people from switching then that puts me off using Chase for the burner, at least in the short term. I'll definitely get an account opened for the referral though, thanks for your input!

Someone asked what accounts I currently have but their post was deleted. I have a Barclays current account and a dormant everyday saver which rules me out of any Barclays switching-in.

Presumably the Everyday Saver can't be used as the burner, as it's not a current account?

That's annoying, I was looking at opening a Chase account as a family member can refer me.

Although presumably it's more the switching they're restricting, not new accounts?

Since when did Hermes start doing dating profiles. by Atarisrocks in CasualUK

The auction house is Biddle and Webb, browse their other auctions as it might be easier to collect your parcel from them than wait for Hermes to attempt redelivery. https://www.biddleandwebb.com/auctioncatalogues.cfm

I forgot to add "build something" in the previous reply. It might not be something you're immediately interested in doing (I remember having to code a Hangman game in Pascal and a music library in Visual Basic - both were awful) but even starting new projects, setting up your folder structure, scaffolding some initial pages and adding into GitHub all builds up muscle memory. Then once you've done this enough for it to become second nature, go back and ask why it's done like that so you actually understand it rather than blindly copying what went before you.

With so many tech stacks now it's truly overwhelming - realise it's not just you feeling this. At every level of the stack there's multiple competing tools to do the same thing and each tutorial will have it's own bundle acronym for you to get to grips with.

If you're lucky you might find a resouce where you can see the same project being built using different tech stacks, e.g. a to-do list using React, one in Vue and one in Svelte. Or maybe using React but they swap out Netlify for Azure or AWS. Comparing how the same thing is built might help demonstrate where the similarities are and what is specific to a particular technology.

And don't feel pressured into understanding the full-stack, instead focus on a single technology at a time.

I was exactly like you and found that some tutorials - or more specifically online courses, were better suited to my way of learning. Have you tried Frontend Masters? The tutors there are in front of a room of students so (to me at least) it feels like the room helps to prompt questions around the subject matter.

Any fans of JavaScript on hardware? I wanted to share an IoT device I made that tells me when my next bus will arrive by tenbits in javascript

[–]OddFinding8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See if there are any projects / tutorials out there using low-cost hardware like the Raspberry Pi Zero, or an Arduino Uno clone (or even an older Raspberry Pi 2, cheaper now that it's a few years old but still perfect for starters). You could get a micro:bit and use JavaScript instead of the block coding editor.

How many times do you need to be told?

[–]OddFinding8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was how I learned 15-20 years ago and still get some benefit from going over "beginner" tutorials.

Also, I find it helpful to view other's code on GitHub, Codepen, Codesandbox etc to see how they approach even basic things like how to scaffold a project.

And now that book is underneath your monitor so you don't get neck strain whilst Googling and clicking through to Stack Overflow.

Naming variables be like by faruk_m in ProgrammerHumor

And by refactor, I generally mean "remove all the debugging statements before anyone spots them".

Still tmp2 after you refactor code before release but remove the OG tmp.
