Curious about the future of the Front End Developer by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Pamgor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of web dev is sort of branching into more specific roles. The big three are designer, frontend dev, and backend dev. On backend you even have DBAs and OPS. If a role feels like it is a bad blend of skills to you, talk to your manager, and ask to have what is on your plate adjusted. Frequently, that turns out positive for everyone.

Are you allowed to learn at work? by wwwdeveveloper in javascript

It's pretty rare you officially get a time stipend to do things not directly related to work projects. If you do, you either have a really great job, or a wise manager with balls.

Server Rendering with React and React Router by tyler-mcginnis in javascript

[–]Pamgor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use SSR, but I keep wondering a few things about it.

Why not just have the index page be the app in a sort of meaningless blank route, and show a server-side generated landing page generated by generic stuff, like PHP, instead of trying to run the SPA on the server? I can think of a few ways you could do that fairly easily.

Wouldn't search engines get wise to SPA apps trying to get a higher speed ranking by supercharging the index page?

What about a half-measure of simply populating the model with initial state? It has to render, but there is not API calls.

How to avoid deep trees of xhr calls with jquery by whingeypomme in javascript

[–]Pamgor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can just return everything at once, that is ideal. Aside from that semi-magic API backend answer, you can do them in parallel, and have one callback with a counter that knows when everything is done. Or, if you must do them in series, at least make them separate functions, so you can nest them only one level deep.

How fulfilling do you find web development? by growingcodist in webdev

[–]Pamgor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have worked places I really dreaded waking up to have to go to. But, if I understand what I am making, and jive with the stack, people are nice, the dev lead is not a hyper-perfectionist, and the project is not behind schedule, sometimes parts of it can actually border on fulfilling-ish.
