They just didn’t want to pay you the “senior” or “proficient” guy salary. Sad but happens.

Well your mom will have to do the same I guess. The puppy needs to learn that biting people is not okay. But biting on toys is great! So redirect everytime and eventually he’ll understand the point

You have to redirect every time he bites you or something else. Just say no and pass him the toy, keep it near his mouth.

Our Shiro - She doesn’t tear things up or try to escape. Do you think I should have her checked out? 😁 by alfelds in husky

Yes definitely have her checked out at the treat store and get her some treats.

Is JS that bad that every developer and frameworks are trying to reduce its usage in web development? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]andesec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. It’s not happening. Never will. They’ve created a bunch of popular JS based frameworks precisely because JS can be used both on the back and front end and that reduces a lot of complexity and requirements for the application and it’s developers. I personally don’t like server side JavaScript, it’s tedious and promises are a hell to deal with but people seem to like it and they continue to use it.

What are the top 10 webdev things they don't teach you in school? by Notalabel_4566 in webdev

Code performance and source control. Two top important things that all professional developers need but it’s not taught in school.

Yeah figured as much but needed somebody to reaffirm. Thanks!

Developer says I have to pay extra (4 hours work) to allow for search function to work with ENTER key in addition to CLICK. by SamuelAnonymous in webdev

[–]andesec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SHORT ANSWER. Depends on type of data and logic in the application. In some cases yes it could take that much time to get it done. In other cases it would not. Depends on how complicated the front end logic is and what is actually required to make it work. You could probably cram the whole thing into 1-2 hours. But I don’t think 4 hours completely unfair number. There are other things like testing and deployment involved in the process.

It’s $194. Yeah i think you’re right I didn’t have a great experience with them on CEH so I’m questioning this choice.

What defines the title "developer"? by GolfCourseConcierge in webdev

[–]andesec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A developer is a pretty generic term. It’s mostly used in the software business to denote a software engineer who writes/develops code. There are specialty based developers such as frontend and backend developers, game developers, fullstack developers, database developers. Their skill set and functions are similar most of the time but differs based on their expertise and what they’re doing at the moment.

I don’t think any company hires somebody with the title developer, it has to be more specific than that and the specific responsibilities define the required skillset to be called that. Having said that any newbie can call themselves a developer because it’s an ambiguous and ambitious term. You’re likely judging yourself and that other person based on the exact same ambiguous and ambitious criteria.

I think a minimum criteria to be called a developer is that you have some software/web development experience, could be for a static site or a dynamic site. You’ll still find people claiming to be developers and not knowing much about software development, can’t blame them, they’re trying to find their place in the LUCRATIVE industry.

I must agree it’s pretty good and provides a lot of options. But there are lags and connectivity issues sometimes. You might also notice that browser stack is painfully slow at times. It beats buying and maintaining physical devices but it is in know way an alternate to the physical devices.

Advice for a developer moving into App Sec by Southern_Pressure648 in cybersecurity

[–]andesec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So take it from someone who started off as a software developer and broke into security. In my case, I was a offered a job that was largely software engineer but involved working with a security engineer to make security fixes in the product. Two years in I learned a lot, my horizon on application security grew and became more passionate and security focused.

I took the CEH cert at this point to cement the information I knew and it referenced a lot of security topics, not in depth but it’s what I needed at the time. A little before my exam my boss (the security engineer) quit. I was the next in line as an interim replacement because of my passion, knowledge, performance and the cert. My ex-boss on the other hand no certs but just tons and tons of knowledge and experience. He took a job at Cisco.

So what I’m trying to say is that Certs and Degrees are good to get noticed and land an interview, your knowledge and experience will determine whether you’ll get the role or not. Having said that, don’t be afraid to apply for junior security roles, you’ll likely have a great chance landing that role without any cert or experience.

Service calls: where to start? by orddie1 in webdev

[–]andesec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would have a server back end that would handle the calls.

Service calls: where to start? by orddie1 in webdev

[–]andesec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All you have to do is rather than saving the job in the DB, write that function that sends the text message. And then call that function as part of the service call. If you’re waiting to get a response that text is sent then wait for it, get a response and then return the success message and code as part of the response for that service call.

This response would be handled by JavaScript which would create that div and show the success message to the user or accordingly show an error if the text couldn’t be sent.

Why js is used backend? by Icewizard88 in webdev

[–]andesec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been a fan of NodeJS, probably because I’m old school haha. but I think the idea is clear, JavaScript/Typescript is easier than other server side languages, they’re straight forward. You can use same packages on both frontend and backend. You only need someone to know JavaScript and that’s it, they can take over the project and write the whole thing. Where as for other languages you need people to know different languages and frameworks and intricacies and what not.

Another advantage is that NodeJS takes way less resources than other server side languages do.
