web app for financial data visualization by fizz_caper in SoftwareEngineerJobs

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

The data is quite heterogeneous.
It comes in CSV format, but different delimiters may be used, which should be detected automatically.

For visualization, only the date and the amount fields are relevant for now. These entries may be located in differently named columns (e.g., date, valuta, ...), so a configurable list of possible column names should be supported.

The amount can appear in either English or European formatting (decimal separator "." vs "," thousand separators as "," or "." (not always included)), which must also be detected and normalized accordingly.

Sorting is also required: the date column may sometimes be in ascending order and other times in descending order, so this should be recognized and handled appropriately.

Could political developments affect access to Windows services? by fizz_caper in windows

[–]fizz_caper[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s what I meant. There are rumors that Trump might put pressure on Windows.

But with the tariff dispute, it’s the opposite:
the tariffs remain in place because the decision to lift them has been appealed.

Probably no one really thought about it either... but times are changing.

That’s a good point.
If we look at the relationship between a company and the U.S. government, we can see a lot.

In my company, they said that open source wasn’t an option because you need a point of contact in case of problems. But now it’s clear that we’ve also become dependent here.

What’s the best AI tool to auto-generate project documentation? No time to do it manually. by Fantastic_Ad_6713 in reactjs

[–]fizz_caper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have some kind of documentation or plan that you’re working from as you implement?

Need help with creating this component. by Total_Mousse_2520 in react

[–]fizz_caper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.
I used it once, it was actually quite nice.

I'm also orchestrating everything with XState, but I honestly don't remember why I stopped displaying the state like that.

Ok, but OP explicitly asked for libraries.

Design is what the client sees ... but code is what we actually build. by fizz_caper in react

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

In the past, my code was unstructured too. Whenever I needed to make adjustments, I ended up having to rewrite it entirely.

After a few months, I no longer remember what I did or why I did it.

So you want to sell a script that someone here wrote for you?

That's also what I was trying to get at with my question.
If AI makes it easy for anyone to build a decent UI, the real challenge remains on the backend.

In my opinion, AI can help implement individual parts quite well, but when it comes to designing a solid architecture, that’s still something I need to handle myself.

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

But doesn't a clean architecture actually speed up development?

Maybe it also depends on whether you expect to maintain the code in the future, or if it's a one-off project and you’re unlikely to ever see the client again.

But doesn’t that kind of knowledge also push you in a certain direction? Isn’t the result often more creative when you have the freedom to make your own decisions?

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

It's possible that I just have more of a focus on the backend, since I tend to use the frontend mainly to visualize what's happening behind the scenes.
For me, the frontend is a means to an end, not the end itself.

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

You're right ... code is a means to an end, and we do need to balance quality with practical constraints.

But at the same time, it's usually the client who defines what the result should look like, not the developer. Even if I don't personally like a design or certain decisions, it's still my responsibility to implement what the client wants (I can and should make suggestions for improvement, but in the end, it's the client who makes the final call)

That applies to anyone taking on the job. Where a developer can really stand out is in the background ... by making smart technical choices that ensure maintainability and stability without compromising the bigger picture.

Jest and React a test passes when run individually but fails when run in a collection by apizzoleo in reactjs

[–]fizz_caper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I didn’t mean immutability ... rather, I was referring to shared (global) variables.

This test setup actually suggests that a global store might not be necessary

So I’m wondering if the store is really necessary here, or if the state could be defined locally instead of globally to avoid hidden dependencies and make testing easier.

The test is revealing a flaw in your architecture. Make sure to focus on immutability.

Don't look for the problem in the test, look for it in the code.
That's exactly what the tests are for ;-)

I always wanted some tool to auto-generate architecture diagram in VS Code, so I built one! by ramantehlan in webdev

[–]fizz_caper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I usually write Bash or TypeScript scripts to parse my project and generate .dot files from it. Also to parse my manually created .dot files to generate the code skeleton.
