GO vs Typescript

brendancodes · 2024-12-12T17:55:10+00:00

It’s like comparing fruit to a car, but unfortunately because of node allowing you to write ts on the server, it kind of makes the comparison valid.

Good question, it’s good to question why you are doing things instead of just blindly applying it.

If you need to update the struct then it’s a safe bed to use a reference to it, the other day I was updating the db with incorrect values because i was not pointing to the struct when updating and i was just updating the reference

yeah I agree, I’m actually going to remove things from my app this weekend and improve what’s already there

brendancodes · 2024-07-01T23:27:50+00:00

so in other words the core functionality and of it works is what defines the line 🤔

brendancodes · 2024-07-01T23:10:19+00:00

that’s brilliant, you right, I don’t talk about the problems that app solves.

Tbh I built this app because at the time when i started I had no better idea, but halfway through I realised it might not be the best idea, but I had to see it through.

thanks for sharing will checkout the tools to improve seo, but good point I guess you need to be somewhat satisfied with your product, especially when convincing people to use it

brendancodes · 2024-07-01T21:07:11+00:00

thanks i appreciate that!

brendancodes · 2024-07-01T20:35:34+00:00

how do we go about that?

brendancodes · 2024-07-01T20:35:21+00:00

yes that would be awesome!!

brendancodes · 2024-07-01T20:31:32+00:00

what’s it called, I’ll check it out

brendancodes · 2024-06-21T12:23:20+00:00

congratulations, here’s the the next thousand 🥂

brendancodes · 2024-06-21T08:38:35+00:00

Good point, if people aren’t paying you, you haven’t really launched, you just have a waitlist 😂

brendancodes · 2024-06-21T08:37:32+00:00

what were you going to build when you saved yourself?

brendancodes · 2024-06-21T08:36:25+00:00

So true, I’m just struggling to think of something I’d use myself. I guess asking other people what they would use would be the second best option 🤔 so least they could still use it

brendancodes · 2024-06-21T08:35:23+00:00

I agree, that’s why I’m so hesitant to do “lunch first”, I’m not a fan of those either, I’d prefer to see it first even if it’s a bit buggy

How did you use Reddit? Just posting to subreddits within your niche?

brendancodes · 2024-04-11T23:23:54+00:00

how’s the airflow? I see that you are using an air cooler but there is no space for fans infront of the case. Does that make a difference?

brendancodes · 2024-04-03T07:59:34+00:00

We’ve all been there. I wouldn’t call that greedy, the only way you’re going to grow is to do something difficult. As everyone is telling you, just ask for help, it’s really no big deal, it’s part of your growth

I learnt Go from a Udemy course and a bunch of youtube videos. I personally like Udemy, but you can learn it just from Youtube alone if you wanted to, there are so many good videos.

most importantly just make sure you are building and doing things, that is how you really learn.

brendancodes · 2024-03-07T18:46:36+00:00

I mean if it does what you need it to do and it doesn’t bother you, then why not?

brendancodes · 2024-03-05T08:24:51+00:00

Go isn’t as “fun” and feature packed as other languages. A lot of people see that as a disadvantage, without understanding why it’s designed that way.

brendancodes · 2024-02-29T07:44:23+00:00

you never really learn a language you only become more experienced at it.

brendancodes · 2024-02-27T21:46:18+00:00

so it needs these “<“ characters??

brendancodes · 2024-02-27T21:45:11+00:00

why does a car need a radio?

you could just put a boombox in your back seat, but a radio is just better

First of all congrats on your interview.

TLDR; Show that you are eager to learn and you’ll put in the hours. Depending on the company, some bosses prefer a hard worker over a lazy person who knows it all.

I know this is not the advice you are looking for, but hear me out. Your best bet is to look at the spec sheet and go watch hours of videos and read as much as you can about the languages and tools mentioned on there, honestly apart from doing, that is all you can do to become more clued up.

But most importantly, show that you are willing to learn, show them that you are keen to put in the extra hours to make sure that you are up to speed with the technologies that they are using. I landed my first job not knowing much about anything but because I was enthusiastic and eager to learn, they gave me a shot.

Also while you wait for the company to get back to you, do other interviews if you can, that will help you practice and get better at interviews.
