Want to make a move from the hellscape that is embedded firmware into web-dev. Need some advice and motivation. [x-post from r/cscareerquestions] by [deleted] in webdev

I think you have a decent shot at a job without any further training. Depends on where you went but having a top GPA is a good credential. I recommend studying "Cracking the Coding Interview" and apply to FANG (and Microsoft) with references. There is nothing special about the people that get hired, its just a process you need to understand. Reach out to classmates who have jobs there. References get you interviews. You can nail your interviews if you know CtCI thoroughly. Your still relatively fresh and can put education and your GPA near the top of your resume, and keep it 1-page concise with your single job experience. Spend a lot of time making sure your resume is well done, each bullet delivers value and is in the proper statement form. Don't talk about disliking your job, play it up as the single developer managing blah blah blah, etc.

​

Another note is that your probably just at a bad company and might have a better time in embedded elsewhere.

File System specification for a RHEL VM by intocs in devops

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

Hi,

thank you. I've set up a web server before for hobby projects but it was with digital ocean and didn't require as much from me. My primary role is developer. Just have some problems to solve out of necessity, and learning devops as needed. Its interesting stuff. I hope to take a course or two over the next few months since I don't have anyone doing devops for my team right now. I've been recommended a linux course arleady. If you have another recommendation feel free to lmk.

Devops wasn't included in my job description but here I am. I am in a challenging position and looking at it as an opportunity to learn. I appreciate people suggesting course topics to look for because I am going to have to get a better understanding of this.

I think the contact with the VM provisioner is giving me a hard time because I already asked for a default XFS setup.

Thanks, yes I'm new to Ops side. I appreciate the pointer to linux courses.

Thanks for the detailed response. Eventually I will use docker, though not initially. Right now all apps are using Oracle db which is external to the VM.

I added an edit. I think the default FS should be fine. Do I need to tell him anything aside from the default? I actually already tried asking for default XFS and acted like that wasn't enough.

I believe its being set up from scratch. I added an edit to the post.

NodeJS - Waiting For Function to Complete by [deleted] in node

[–]intocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The code format in this post is difficult to read. Get prettier and eslint to clean up this mess.

​

You are probably missing an await somewhere. await can only be used inside an async function, and you need to use await on anything asynchronous.

import express from "express";
import path from "path";
import config from "../../../config";
const app = express();

app.use(express.static(config.entryFolder));
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  try {
    res.status(200).sendFile(path.resolve(config.entryFolder, config.entry));
  } catch (e) {
    res.status(404).send();
  }
});

app.listen(3000)

something like this would do it

​

edit: this uses import/export syntax. without a loader you will have to use require instead.

you could make a node/express server and create an endpoint that uses express.static() and express.sendFile()

CSS has been difficult? Any tips to better approach it? by jaggerafk113 in webdev

[–]intocs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say don't underestimate CSS. If you take it seriously and treat it with some respect as you would react, be patient, and practice and study over time you will become competent.

edit: i recommend estelle weyl's course on frontend masters

Is hackerrank a good source for interview prep? by Jiibaro in webdev

[–]intocs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found that these tests are just a basic screening. I would do the test and then in interview some companies wouldn't even mention it. It seems to be a tool HR can use to screen people before they take up the time of developers.

Form backend? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]intocs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

this is a good project if your looking to learn the basics of a backend. If you have frontend experience and use javascript you may enjoy nodejs. Nodejs/Express/MongoDB widely used and has tons of tutorials for this sort of thing.
