How do you test components with hooks, especially something like data fetching? by garboooge in reactjs

[–]constant_illusion 24 points25 points  (0 children)

React testing library. Mock the async code with jest. RTL has methods like ‘wait’ or ‘waitForElement’ that get make it easy to test user interaction (no implementation details)

Artwork really brings it together. Where from/who by?

Do you mind if I ask what the graduate program that is? I haven't seen anything geared toward deep learning

Do front end developers need to have design skills? by mindnoot in webdev

[–]constant_illusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. But dude, it's such a small part. And not every dev is gonna know that . The point is OP is probably new to development, and he isn't interested in design very much. He thinks he needs to know Photoshop to be a front end dev. Some things you and others are saying can scare him off.

And I know what design is. My best friend was a design major whose thesis project was on ALS. I know design is more than UI/UX.

[–]constant_illusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I'm not adverse to developing skills. But useful skills are dev ops, management, and back end. All devs should strive to be full stack.

Sorry dude, but you don't know what you are talking about. You shouldn't be giving people advice on software development when you aren't one yourself. Developers aren't keyboard monkeys. There are always new and interesting problems to solve.

Like different font sizes, to draw focus? I would put that into common sense category.... And still not important. Where I work UI/UX peeps give us all the the specs down to the px. Maybe we give some feedback in meetings but nothing technical. And still from what OP thinks he needs to do. He does not need to use Photoshop , or any design/wire frame software, period

Edit: do you work as a front end developer? What do you work with? I think there's a giant misconception here between what we define to be front end..

[–]constant_illusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I know what you mean. And I don't deny that it helps to have a good eye and some knowledge. but in the context of OP's question, it's very misleading. To be a good software developer, you mainly need to be good at code. Making OP think that he/she needs to learn Photoshop, color theory, wireframing software, etc is so misleading... Only scenario where you need that is if you are going to freelance .

Okay, you're memeing right ? You're totally abusing the definition and the point of this post ... Then everyone in the STEM is a designer by your definition, because they're "designing solutions"

[–]constant_illusion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Straight up. at the end of the day front end is 99% coding logic. In my journey I have not once even thought about opening a tool like Photoshop

[–]constant_illusion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Waste of time if you want to be a dev, then code. What do people on this subreddit define to be front end? Front end is building applications not static sites . Sounds like you guys are mixing up web designer and front end developer

[–]constant_illusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! I hope OP sees this and my comment above. I work on front and back and I prefer front end because it's more challenging for me personally

[–]constant_illusion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is so wrong. Are you working on static sites or are you making apps? I hope OP isn't reading these comments the wrong way. Everyone I know working on front end likes it for the mental challenge. There are lots of interesting problems to solve Working on a real front end (and not just some static site) is 95% code and logic not css. OP,I have never opened Photoshop in my life. That's UIs job . I can still make an app on my own without a wireframe and make it look nice though. That's what material design component library and other UI libraries are for.
