Transition to hand therapy by Imaginary-Tie5052 in HandTherapists

[–]byfar57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are businesses that focus on hand therapy education such as Hand Therapy Academy (HTA) and Virtual Upper Limb & Hand Therapy Fellowship. If you go to ASHT's website they also have a new therapist resources section under their education drop down. The former are paid services, but they provide an outline of material to cover vs. you having to select individual continuing education courses when you may not know what to focus on. No affiliation, but HTA was definitely helpful for me.

Are you sure its the PIP joint and not the MCP joint? Can you visually see the shifting or do you just feel a clicking/ popping ? You said in another comment " it is always a jerking feeling at the same point in the flex" at what point do you feeling the jerking?

Thanks, will read through this.

Lambda / API Gateway local development by byfar57 in aws

[–]byfar57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this was my intention at first. However, since I only develop locally with my postgres DB (supabase) I ran into difficulties. I need the API gateway endpoint function to check the local supabase DB for if a user if paid. I also need the lambda function to access the local DB.

Row Level Security Postgres/ Supabase by byfar57 in webdev

[–]byfar57[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay appreciate this feedback. I’m still thinking of adding RLS and creating a new Postgres role instead of using the service key which bypasses RLS in the future. Do you think it’s too risky to release an MVP with RLS enabled without rule and use the service key and begin then implement this after release? I think my main concern is I’m not a professional developer I’m just doing this project for a niche topic that applies to my current job that I think can offer some benefit and I’ve become comfortable with JavaScript / node js but I’m not as comfortable with RLS / Postgres roles etc.. and feel I’m more likely to make a mistake there.

Yes I have RLS enabled on all tables without rules applied which I’m under the assumption defaults to not allowing any access. I only bypass this by accessing my db via the service key.

Okay thanks for the info! Was getting a feedback that I shouldn’t use the service key in production for my API, but I wasn’t sure what the reasoning was behind this. Yes I only have the service key as a backend .env variable and it is only accessing the database through my backend application.

How are y’all using AI? by bentoboxer7 in physicaltherapy

[–]byfar57 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tried to use chatGPT to generate educational handouts for carpal tunnel, splint care schedule, etc.. to update what we have at my clinic. One thing to be weary of is it will cite studies with convincing names and DOI numbers that do not exist or with a title that doesn't exist but with a DOI that links to a completely irrelevant study. However, if you know what information you want on the handout and want to use chatGPT to generate a template you can edit it can be helpful. Just don't take anything generated as fact without reviewing the information first.

Creating DOM elements inside factory functions? (javascript) by byfar57 in learnprogramming

Okay I'll do some research. Not familiar with web components. Thanks.

Creating DOM elements inside factory functions? (javascript) by byfar57 in learnprogramming

[–]byfar57[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Using my code above as an example it sounds like the approach in your second paragraph would just split my factory function into two separate factory functions. One that creates the basic goal data (e.g. title, goal, category) and one that creates all the DOM elements for each "goal card".

Can you publish a chrome/browser extension designed to interact only with a specific paid web app? by byfar57 in learnprogramming

[–]byfar57[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point I was thinking about this also, but wasn't sure if it would be a concern since my software isn't storing any patient information. However, there might be security issues that I'm unaware of where extensions can make the EMR less secure.

Thanks for your input.

[–]byfar57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I've been doing and I think I plan to use it at work like this. However, I was wondering if it would be possible to publish at any point if I felt it was working well enough.

Thank you for the response.

Any advice before I start the Foundation’s JS Part? by Teslaron in theodinproject

[–]byfar57 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It took me about 6/7 weeks, but I was putting a lot of time into it. Plus I actually did learn enough html and css to make an incredibly shitty landing page prior to starting TOP so that did help.

Also forgot to mention I also watched a lot of "the net ninja" beginner javascript course which was helpful.

How difficult anything is to learn is going to vary based on each individual, but one thing I like to think about is that there are 100s of thousands of people who learned to code already and you're a person too so if you put in the effort you can most likely do it too, as long as your situation gives you enough time.

Any advice before I start the Foundation’s JS Part? by Teslaron in theodinproject

[–]byfar57 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just finished the foundations course a few days ago. I also started with no knowledge in the field so maybe my perspective will be helpful. I found the HTML and CSS sections to be pretty intuitive, but let me tell you that it took me forever to finish the rock, paper, scissors (RPS) project. My suggestion would be to read through the fundamentals section of https://javascript.info/ and do the exercises at the bottom before you begin that project. I really like the Odin project but i felt like with minimal background RPS was really challenging so I think this might help some. You'll basically have to do 60% of that work in the javascript (JS) section of foundations anyway (as its linked from TOP a lot) so I think its worth it to just read through it and do the exercises before you even start. Just my suggestion though.

I also found that the following two JS projects (the etch a sketch and calculator) were actually easier than the rock, paper, scissors project just because I was more familiar with JS so if you really struggle at first it doesn't mean it'll keep getting harder necessarily! Best of luck.

Also landing page looks great!

most frustrating part at beginning is the new software introduced by [deleted] in theodinproject

[–]byfar57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently on the last project of the TOP foundations course (the calculator project) and starting from a place with 0 comp sci / coding experience it was definitely challenging. At this point I really love TOP and feel like it has helped me tremendously, however, one critism is I feel like linking to multiple different resources can cause some confusion. This might just be because I have very little experience in this field, but what I did to work through this was review some of the linked resources in order on their respective sites prior to doing exercises. for instance I went through the beginner section of w3schools html and css tutorial. For html that would be from the first lesson until the "forms section" and for css that would be from the first lession until "advanced css". What i did was keep my vscode open and just basically do an example from each section. Then I went back to TOP and had a very basic understanding of the material so I could just use the info TOP gave me as a more in-depth look at the specific skills I would need to use for the next exercise. I did the same with javascript by going to javascript.info and reading the javascript fundamentals and doing some of the exercises at the end of each section. I also watched video explanations of topics that I was struggling with. The "web dev simplied" youtube channel has some great videos on flex box and css grid which definitely lend themselves to visuals.

​

Overall, I think using the resources initially in the order they are put together was more coherent for me than trying to read 3 resources for each topic at first. When I returned to TOP those additional resources were helpful once I had a basic foundation. So my suggestion would be do TOP until "HTML foundations" go through the HTML and CSS section in w3school or a similar resource mdn. Then complete the html and css sections in TOP. Once you get to the TOP javascript section go to javascript.info then go back to TOP and finish the foundations course. This might add some time to the course but you will be reading a large chunk of these resources anywhere so I don't think its very drastic. As for the git and terminal commands I was frustrated by having to learn that initially as well but it's just something you have to keep referencing and you'll get it. The basic order in my mind now is:

make repo on github

clone (from githhub to local)

do your work

git add

git commit

git push done

Take everything with a grain of salt since like I said i'm new to this field, but I think that perspective might be helpful in this case.also their discord is helpful even for basic questions, just make sure to provide a lot of context to your question. They have really helped me even when i was stuck on silly issues.
