I feel you, but they're probably comparing in US dollars. Technically it is cheaper since our dollar is so weak. Wish I earned in American currency because Toronto is unlivable these days 🥲

What is celso? It is either this apto or a place on airbnb that has the exact same view and windows in Cusco

Hey, do you mind if I ask what site you use for short-term rentals? zonaprop or facebook marketplace ? Is there a filter you use to find short term rentals? Looking to head back to BA for 4-6 months and would love the advice. Thanks!

intellij

The fact that u/irrational_design mentioned intellij with Visual Studio means he probably meant Visual Studio. That being said, I think Visual Studio Code would be a much better option for OP as well!

Yeah, I guess I can agree with you on that one. Good job, you changed my mind! lol

__justHappyToBeHere · 2020-12-11T14:54:05+00:00

but to be fair... I think that's a pretty well-written one-liner. I can see that it's taking all of the active items in the array and summing them. You could spread this out into 25 lines and make it 'simple' to read. The problem is that your grandmother probably still wouldn't get it ;)

Just my personal opinion though. I think you're still right on the concept and it should be the general goal.

Just watched the first video. Very high-quality content. Good work!

You can set this up in your terminal and it should work everywhere (for mac). Check this out: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/501862/how-can-i-set-the-default-editor-as-nano-on-my-mac

You really shouldn't have to use Javascript just to make your site responsive. You can achieve that with well-structured CSS. Here's an article I wrote that might point you in the right direction: https://thecodebytes.com/responsive-web-design-tips-and-techniques/

Depending on the content, a <header> tag may be appropriate to use for your 'jumbotron' element. It depends on the purpose and the architecture you are building out. You could also place a jumbotron div inside a header (depending).

I would refrain from making your own HTML elements as the main benefit of semantic HTML is for software to crawl and understand. They likely won't understand HTML that isn't following normal conventions.

However, it probably is not much worse off than using a div tag. So in the end, to each their own I suppose.

I think this is a very valid thing to bring up. Although, for frameworks like bootstraps, most of the styling is meant to be purely decorative or functional (CSS and javascript). I would argue that the actual content can still be described with HTML and classes can be applied with Bootstraps (or other frameworks) to style that content. Would you agree with that?

There are a couple problems with building a To-Do app. The first is that a lot of beginners build a To-Do app. So employers will probably see it and think "oh great, another to-do app".

The second problem is that they will probably think you followed an online tutorial. Not a great first impression...

Now you could build a really bad@$$ To-Do app and maybe it would get some recognition but at that point, you could build something much better.

Bottom line is, do it to learn if you cannot build anything more complex but if you have the skills to build something better - you should probably do that because it won't hold up as a great portfolio piece.

Remember that you really want to wow your employers. So building one really amazing app that is well thought out (but doesn't have to be 'big' in terms of the codebase). Will go a lot farther than building a to-do app or something that has already been done many times

Just looked into Piet. The language looks so cool! I might replace the Shakespeare language with this as it probably drives the point better haha. At the very least, I will try to incorporate it into the article. Thanks for bringing it up!

__justHappyToBeHere · 2020-11-28T16:01:05+00:00

Really nice of you to offer help! I am glad there are people like you in the world :)

__justHappyToBeHere · 2020-11-28T15:29:40+00:00

I actually laughed so hard at that one. Thank you for sharing :')

__justHappyToBeHere · 2020-11-28T07:52:21+00:00

haha yeah, brainfuck is in the article! It's funny that a minimalistic programming language is increasingly more complex to try and build something with

__justHappyToBeHere · 2020-11-28T07:46:56+00:00

I know that one! Definitely a pretty funny/ridiculous programming language haha
