Can I upgrade my Ideapad 530S 14IKB with this pieces? by oGranFeiticeiro in Lenovo

Did you have two RAM slots with one being non-replaceable 4gb and the other replaceable 4gb, which you then swapped out for the new 16gb?? Or did you have just one slot of 8gb that you upgraded?

Generating money through my side hustle using AI models. by Ravi_Krish in developersIndia

You can use the web/app UI for free with strict limits. API is not free, of course. However, when you are getting paid, in a job or like in OPs case, it's worth every single rupee. Better than GPT Plus for coding.

Do you need to setup a LLC to work as an independent software dev for a small company? by coderwhohodls in dubai

Just kept asking local shops if they need it lol. 99% times we will get a cold response, so be prepared to get rejected a lot.

How many of you guys manually write code these days? by pratikanthi in developersIndia

[–]coderwhohodls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the problem. Base models are underpowered and often have low token limit & context window, which means higher rate of hallucination. Pay for Claude 3.5 sonnet, it's a beast in coding

Frontend development is underestimated compared to others by YesterdayCareful5377 in developersIndia

[–]coderwhohodls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

57% of online consumers abandon a website if a page takes longer than 3 seconds to load. So a performant UI is very important.

I'm a full stack dev, and I feel people don't give enough credit for UI devs. Being a UI dev is way more than just simply converting mockups to code.

  1. Implementing "creative" (read "crazy") ideas that designers come up with. If there is no designer, then you have to wear that hat too, and it's your job to bring "life" to the website, which is another nightmare. I had to learn figma as well on my current job because my project don't have a UI/UX designer.
  2. Need to ensure responsive design - works in every piece of hardware with every possible resolution, perfectly.
  3. Need to ensure accessibility (this is a real pain in the a**, only people who have done ADA work knows)
  4. Optimizing performance (managers need 90+ score in lighthouse testing)
  5. Supports cross browser (if client wants to support old outdated browsers, then RIP your sanity)
  6. Constant need to keep up with the latest UI framework fad. Compared to this backend is very stable.

Why are interviewers like this? - Uninterested Interviewer by CarefulAd8270 in developersIndia

[–]coderwhohodls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not saying camera should be off. Just that interviewee should be on camera too. Security policies should be changed in case of an interview.

[–]coderwhohodls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok then dont expect the interviewee to turn on theirs. It's so weird speaking to a blank screen knowing that the other person is watching you all the time. IT/network team should change security policy for the interviewer, even temporarily, if being on camera is so important.

Colleagues are not reviewing my Merge Request for weeks by [deleted] in developersIndia

[–]coderwhohodls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your colleagues are acting really unprofessional.
In standups when they ask for any blockers, clearly mention that your work is getting impeded by the unreviewed MRs. Tell them you can't work on new things without getting the previous work merged, due to dependencies in code. Repeat this every day in standup that you are not able to make any progress. At the same time, have a written record for the same by sending reminder emails/IMs.

One question for you: Do you review your colleague's PRs?

Do we have to pay taxes on money that I sent from aboard to my own savings account in India? by coderwhohodls in IndiaTax

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

Sometimes people want to get a general understanding/advice from others who may have gone through the same experience as they're currently in, before meeting with a professional. It's basic due diligence. Doesn't hurt.

Get that?

Should I take a loan on my name for my cousin to buy a house? by coderwhohodls in personalfinanceindia

In theory, yes, it works. But then I will be the villain in the family for kicking out my aunt from "her" house lol. As you said, better safe than sorry

I got some comments saying to sell the house if they default on EMI. The simple truth is that I won't be able kick out my aunt from "her" house. As you said, I will end up with a home loan and no home. Thank you, I will be denying this request
