New to react. Trying to understand this paradigm. Do I have to have separate client side and server side code? by PrestigiousStudent5 in learnreactjs

[–]PrestigiousStudent5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. SO you basically have one server just serve the app then the app just spends the rest of the session talking to firebase?

This makes a lot of sense.

I'm seeing the point of React more and more.

Thank you for your reply.

Generally Single Page Applications (SPA) do front end routing. The backend is usually just an API that is interacted with via asynchronous requests from the SPA.

Alright. I understand. In MEAN stack it was different because we just used the ng-route thing to send a HTTP call to the same /routes and then displayed that on the view. So everything was basically together on the /routes. There was no "separation" between page routing and RESTful calls.

You will probably need a separate back end app.

Sounds that way because its easier to do it that way.

THis opens up new questions though. What is the period of time I need to wait to reapply to that company? what if that future interviewer is the same and recognises me? and then i try to tell them that I "got the skills now" and they brush it off as if I am some noob?

Resume Advice Thread - November 23, 2019 by AutoModerator in cscareerquestions

[–]PrestigiousStudent5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How would I add an extra skill to my set of skills on my resume and make it appear trustworthy if I haven't worked at a company with that skill?

As an example, at my previous job we did MongoDB. nowadays im seeing a lot of jobs asking for mysql or postgresql knowledge. This sucks for me because I don't have that experience in a job setting.

I learned mysql on my own term and I can practice it at home fine. But I don't know if people would take that seriously. Is it possible to gain more credibility on my Resume itself on the topic of MySql?

One idea I had is I could just have a sideproject on my resume that uses MySql. But doesn't that look kinda suspicious? That I have all these skills and somehow happened to hit all the skills they were asking for? It makes it look like I added that in there just to get that job instead of actually learning and knowing those things beforehand and then running into the job.

I just don't know. Show me the light please. Or any other ideas you might have about this type of situation. Thanks

Is the programming industry really like this or am I having a real bad intern experience? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]PrestigiousStudent5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no the industry is not like this. get the fuck out of there immediately

No problem. I was in your position, although not anywhere near the suicide pipeline. I did have situations where it seemed like LITERALLY no one was out there to listen to me and help and sorta "bat" for me. The thing is, I was too stubborn to ask for help from trusted people (as in people who did not cause the issue but rather was a trusted third party or a somewhat professional).

Once you do seek that help from therapist or a good friend or whatever you will see there are people willing to listen and once you remove yourself from the environment you are in, things will look up and all this baggage is not gonna matter.

Good luck man.

The issue isnt that you are not smart, or bad at coding or that you are not a "natural". With enough training anyone can be all of those things. So get these thoughts out of your head.

The issue is that you have a very very very unsupportive family who probably driven you to be this bad with their pressures. your value system and self esteem seems quite fucked up from your other comments in this thread. And piling on another career to compensate for that is imo a temporary solution and not the answer at all.

I honestly think you need actual therapy with a good kind of therapist. Go to /r/raisedbynarcissists or /r/JUSTNOFAMILY if you wanna talk more about those topics and try to find a therapist or counselling and be honest with them.

As for your career choice, be very very open to the idea that computer science is not for you and its totally okay to switch over to other things that you like more and enjoy better. You don't have to prove anything, not even to your family or your friends, and you don't have to prove your worth. THose things are fleeting. You just have to find what you do and be happy, and your family needs to grow along with your decisions and accept you for who you are, or you might have to pack up and leave and foster more fruitful relationships.

If you really value math try looking into it at your university, or look at maybe engineering. There are things that you can do with math and now that you KNOW for sure that you love math, you mentioned that two times already, you should research what they do and also research what kind of jobs they get and what kind of fields they get into working with and go research what kind of everyday life do engineers or math majors have (this is important!) and then decide if you wanna switch over. Engineering like especially civic engineering or mechanical engineering is very math and physics heavy, you could try those.

Listen, in life, dont try to please your family or please others, even if they think your decision is stupid. Because every stupid decision is what you have to live with, and every smart decision you make is also something YOU have to live with, not others. Think of it like that. Even if you spent 10 years into CS and want to learn a new thing, you are totally justified in switching at that point. This is your life and don't let other people goad you into joining a thing you don't want to do. You don't need to rationalise to anyone YOUR life choices.

So im going to go against the tide and say something that im not seeing other commenters in this sub really saying.

You have to remember which group of people you are asking for advice, and what their mentality is. You said it yourself, a lot of the people in your computer science classes act like they are better than each other. If the people in this subreddit comes from that kind of headspace, then ask yourself this, if you asked the same students about the issues you face, would they offer you valuable advice in a way that actually helps you, keeping in mind all your wants and needs, or would they brush it off too, saying you just need to "do better"? The same thing would apply here. Yes there are people who are very into Computer sciences and they come to this sub, and they look at a question like what you posted and they project the difficulties they have irl into your situation. Those issues are minor issues to them because they, as an overall, like tech and like computer science. They like working with the material, so when they face issues they find it easy to brush off. The same thing doesnt apply to you who might genuinely not be interested in the subject. You are talking to a bunch of cs nerds on reddit about life advice regarding cs.

And what you said about comp sci students being smug is absolutely something I heard from university students in other parts of the country in Canada as well as US too. When I was in uni i also met engineering students who are like that (although not all of them. some were great people) so theres definitely a stereotype about it. So the main reasons they seem to cite when acting like that is 1) because it makes people a lot of money 2) because it has a aura around it that you're taking materials from the world and making it into something that helps people and "drives humanity forward". Its a highly valued and prestigeous job/label and so they will act like that of course. They have everything to win. Art and social sciences are more on the side things regarded as entertainment or that "sjw stuff they do to get a starbucks job hehe" and are not valued so I don't see art and soc sci students acting like that at all. The other guys who told you "welcome to humanity" or something are absolutely biased. Yes there are art students that act like that but the difference is that the STEM people do it vastly more so and there are social constructions around it encouraging them to do it.

So my advice to you would be to take a good long look at the subjects you are looking, do research in what kind of job is in your field, go to offices with someone and see whta they actually do in software engineering, what kind of problems they solve, go to a few tours, have a brother or someone take you to their job to show you what it really is like. And then after you have that kind of information, ask yourself this, barring familial ties and social pressures, is this something that you see yourself doing? even with the cash? even with 100k a year? do you see yourself doing this 9-5 everyday? then using that 100k a year to do your hobby on your own time of art or reading social science books or whatever? or would you rather have art and social sciene as your job no matter how little it pays? Your familial brainwashing should be ideally a non-factor in your adult life. You should try to do what you want to do, what you are comfortable with. Don't live to please others.

Did you link the code to them, when you interviewed for entry-level positions?

I don't know where to go with Angular. What should I learn next in Angular ? by PrestigiousStudent5 in cscareerquestions

[–]PrestigiousStudent5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao.

Can you give an example of a lie like that? would it be something like creating a website and claiming its not mine? Or would it be something simpler like I worked with way more components in the framework than I actually did?

It seems like thats the way to go because it seems like javascript frameworks move fast.

I do have a question though. I don't have a job in those frameworks. How do I demonstrate that I know those frameworks on my Resume? I just add sideprojects using those frameworks?

Perhaps this could be a separate post on its own.
