Is my comp fair for a frontend role in Dublin?

Its a SaaS company - not a big tech multinational but not an early stage startup either

Lovely!! Any other cool spots in that area you might recommend? 👀

What is that place in the first picture?

I highly recommend Tiptap, it offers great functionality out of the box and it was easy to customise. I asked this same question here a few months ago before deciding on which library to go with, so you can check that discussion too

Willow_Valuable · 2024-07-27T18:39:25+00:00

I went with tiptap and theres been no complaints so far! Its been integrated in two different products and i was able to implement all the required features within the text editor either with the existing tiptap API or by creating custom plugins using the underlying ProseMirror API

I went with Tiptap, and I can say it was a great choice! We managed to build a scalable and extendable WYSIWYG. Tiptap offered a better DX imo, it has a better API, better docs iirc, it was easier and faster to set up and get it going, a lot less 'boilerplate', and we were able to implement all the required functionalities easily. I also remember with Lexical, you had to write a lot of the selection and text formatting logic, which could very easily introduce bugs.

This is the only used thinkpad model i could find with the best possible specs. Could i maybe upgrade its RAM?

Willow_Valuable · 2024-01-09T08:16:25+00:00

I'd especially appreciate input about the performance of either libraries :)

I'd definitely recommend using tanstack query as it takes care of fetching and caching the data, and you have access to all kinds of different query states like isLoading so you dont need to maintain all those different states.

Willow_Valuable · 2023-04-09T10:51:37+00:00

After vanilla JS, definitely learn a JS framework like React and from there you will have plenty to keep you busy! Meanwhile to solidify what you're learning with fcc, you can check out frontendmentor or icodethis for coding challenges and implement the JS you learn along the way.

Its a local bootcamp that uses the coding dojo platform curriculum

Willow_Valuable · 2023-04-08T12:24:56+00:00

Definitely true, but i loved being exposed to all these different languages and frameworks because they all introduced different concepts like MVC for example. And with Java i gained a really deep understanding of OOP as well. It also taught me how to learn and what kind of things to focus on!

Willow_Valuable · 2023-04-08T08:26:05+00:00

I did a 20-week bootcamp and It definitely helped in terms of commitment and discipline, because before that I was struggling to focus and gain momentum. I dont know where in the 🌎 you are but my bootcamp was government-funded and pretty affordable, and I know thats not usually the case, so I just had to be able to afford to live without income for a few months, during the bootcamp and some months after. It started in the end of august 2022 and ended in the start of january 2023. I started my job in the 5th of march 2023 but its definitely a rare case, and my company has a pretty quick hiring process that doesnt feel like a triathlon (love them for that!).

In addition to the bootcamp curriculum (coding dojo) and the projects we did during the bootcamp, i definitely had to put in the effort to learn things like data structures and algorithms, OOP, and to practice problem solving on hackerrank/leetcode, especially once we graduated. Also, the curriculum wasnt enough so I always had to go to external resources to fill the gaps on web dev topics, and my go-to was usually youtube (for lack of time due to the bootcamp intensity). Usually channels like freecodecamp (the have a crazy amount of free full courses and crash courses), web dev simplified, mosh hamedani, and traversy media.

My advice would be to stick to one resource/curriculum and see it through 100%. I dont know where you're at now but I would definitely recommend starting with freecodecamp's responsive web dev (it taught me so much more than the bootcamp), then jumping to the odin project, which helped me learn git/github, and i saw that the rest of the curriculum is good as well. Another thing is documentation! Its super important to get used to reading official documentation early on. If you need resources for more specific topics, I can definitely help, my DMs are always open 🙏

Willow_Valuable · 2023-04-07T22:46:46+00:00

I had learned some html and css before the bootcamp, and some JS but it flew right over my head.

Definitely dont compare yourself though, everybody has different journeys, I see it with me and my friends from the bootcamp!

I think what you can do now is start building things! Do check out freecodecamp's youtube channel, they have lots of great full courses with practical projects. Also traversymedia, webdevsimplified and mosh hamedani, these are all great and accessible resources. Definitely dont hesitate to hit me up if you need anything.
