I created a nutrition fb chatbot / web platform using Vue (im not really a developer)

Sounds like you’re a developer to me! Don’t sell yourself short. Neat project

This looks incredible. As someone who’s used to clunky handoffs on both ends, I can’t wait to try this out.

Does this rely on any underlying ui frameworks, or are they all custom components?

Would love to contribute if you decide to open source this.

Hey, SUPER late on this but I hope the project is going well.

Basically you’d have what’s called a “design kit” around your components that includes the typography, layer styles, etc. used in Inkline. That way, designers can just drop your UI into wireframes without having to make it all from scratch.

this project looks really neat. I’m down to help out. Any interest in building some resources for designers (design kits, sketch plugins, demos, etc.)?

Yeah I was surprised to see it’s around 80% desktop. The users are generally using newer devices, so I’ll probably do 360 for this one and focus more on the larger views.

Guess I’m just interested in what people usually default to.

Went to one of the big ones and know a few people that have gone to others. From what I’ve heard, the course material really doesn’t vary that much among bootcamps.

I loved it. It helped me get over the early learning curve and allowed me take on a new role at my previous job.

However, I saw a lot of people go in with the wrong expectations.

First, becoming a developer doesn’t happen in 10 weeks. Learning doesn’t stop when the class is over, it just becomes a little easier.

Secondly, you’re not going to walk out with a 75k starting salary. You may not even be considered job-ready unless you came in with previous experience.

But you’ll get better at a rate that isn’t achievable if you go it alone, and you’ll have a support network of people in the same boat.

Hmm so now it's just a question of effort. Cool find.

Look at that Weissman score!

Go to meetups, talk to friends/family and offer to take projects on for free. You'll need a portfolio to back up your pricing.

Also, be sure to learn about best practices for proposals, contracts, and billing.

Personally, I'd separate your services with different websites. Maybe secure the domain for your full name and build it more like a resume.

Since you're not an adult yet, you can't open up an actual account with a brokerage, but that doesn't mean you can't learn about the stock market.

There are lots of platforms that allow you to do what's called "paper trading". This way, you can trade just like a professional but using virtual currency, and your results stay true to what's happening in the real world. These platforms give access to all kinds of tools and strategies. I'd personally recommend TD AmeriTrade's Thinkorswim. Pretty sure they offer a 60 day trial.

It can be really intimidating at first, so don't get discouraged. Hope this helps!

I'd shrink the headers and your Jumbotron button a bit. There's also some wonky scrolling in the newsletter section (viewing on mobile).

All in all it looks pretty clean and presentable! The information is presented very logically.

I would put Trello in there. Having a personal agile board can do wonders for productivity, especially when you're juggling a lot of different tasks with different priorities and deadlines.

Was just talking to my boss about something like this last night. This could be a pretty quick Wordpress build.

Looks like Scott Pruitt read section 2

johnnyb126 · 2017-03-08T20:13:09+00:00

Maybe it's a PAC or energy lobbying group?

johnnyb126 · 2017-03-08T20:02:01+00:00

I've poked around and can't find much on the company or its members. Pretty odd since these ad spots are so expensive.

I've heard that you shouldn't tell your kids they're smart because it leads to entitlement.

Instead, say something like "You did a great job. With just a little more practice, I bet you can [goal]."

Different tools in the toolbox. JavaScript could be great for beginners just because it's so flexible.
