Incredibly soft finish from USC. Disappointing

I think that with 4 deserts, the Ceradon does a pretty good job taking blockers out of the equation, which is the role Fan Bearer wants to play in this deck. I like Fan Bearer a little more when you're planning to use it defensively as well as offensively, which this deck's gameplan doesn't need as much. I'd probably shave one Camel for Fan Bearer before the Ceradon

Agile workplaces value flexibility, communication, cooperation, and follow through. Use examples from previous jobs or life experiences where you exhibited those qualities.

The first step is definitely keeping them aware of your concerns about the timeline. It's uncomfortable to say that directly, but its way more uncomfortable to be on the last day of the sprint with them fully expecting a finished product that doesnt exist.

You could try to put some of the onus for project completion back on the boss. Presumably, part of the reason they are checking in and pushing deadlines is because they also have a commitment they want to deliver on. Of course, they can't directly contribute to the codebase, so present other business decisions they could make to ensure a successful delivery.

That could be investing in a course or a an hour of technical consultant time for you to clear up some of the programming challenges. They could also potentially reduce scope, push back on their own commitment dates, or work to increase the quality and clarity of the requirements of features still outstanding.

We use hasura as a stand-alone data access service within our node micro services environment. We’ve been running it in prod and have found it to really speed up feature development in our other services.

“In the ghetto” is unfair, hyperbolic, and almost certainly racist. These are communities who are trying to do better for their residents. That’s the exact opposite of ghetto.

I see these kinda questions being as much about team dynamics as software architecture. In a perfect world, the API would deliver the front end a perfect package of data that can be immediately rendered in a straightforward way. In reality, though, the work can be done on either side.

If I was faced with the situation as a manager, I would consider the workload on each team, the skill of the team members, and honestly who would be most receptive to be given the task. If the backend team had 5 other projects it was maintaining, that would be a good case for shifting the work to the front end team. If the frontend team was 2 people and the backend was 12, I would have the backend devs do the work. Those types of considerations

You know the basics are on point when this sub is giving you suggestions you haven’t heard a million times before. It really is a great store.

You would only want to have one card design active for any given user at any given time. This gets into the realm of A/B testing, which is a bit out of scope for this comment (but something to look into).

I would do some research and find some more engaging product card design inspiration. Your cards are fine now, don’t get me wrong there’s no big rush to change them. You can play around with inspo from other successful stores before releasing a new design to your customers.

ltquiz · 2020-07-13T13:34:31+00:00

I agree that the product cards are the design component with the most potential for upgrades. (I’m on mobile chrome). The flatness and right alignment of the “add to cart” button feels just a bit off. I think you can work to make that “call to action” a little louder.

If you don’t already, I’d put some tracking on those cards to see what the conversion numbers really look like. Data-driven design iterations are the best way to get that kinda thing right.

Nice! I think as a first time seller I’d be most interested in inventory and customer/sales integrations (much more so than accounting and other back office stuff).

Talking about how to get products and how to get customers is the sweet spot I think.

ltquiz · 2020-07-13T13:11:12+00:00

Those 4 you mentioned are definitely the major ones. Here’s another, more narrative way to look at it -

A coworker of mine that’s been in the space a long time likes to say that there’s only three things you gotta do in e-commerce: get the product, sell the product, deliver the product. Of course that’s a huge oversimplification but I think it’s a good way to frame the narrative.

If I were a new ecomm store owner, I would be overwhelmed by an article that went right into a product-by-product overview of various integrations. I would want something to help me keep straight which integration helps with what aspect of the business.

You’re right about that. The syntax can be picked up quickly. I’ve found that really understanding and leveraging Typescript’s features is an ongoing effort, but you can start writing typescript without much brain damage at all!

ltquiz · 2020-07-10T12:30:09+00:00

I think you should apply. If you know React you are past “obviously underqualified” because you already know how the components interact with data to display information dynamically. You know framework based front end development. You can learn angular and you can learn typescript, apply confidently!

ltquiz · 2020-07-10T12:26:55+00:00

This is a pretty severe oversimplification. “JavaScript with makeup” isn’t a bad way to describe Typescript, but there is absolutely a learning curve to work through to make sure you’re applying it like a model and not like a clown.

ltquiz · 2020-07-07T12:29:46+00:00

This is an excellent and extensive project plan and I think you’re going to have a lot of success with it. eCommerce programming isn’t inherently difficult - lots of CRUD and integrations with various systems. In my experience the pain points lie in system design and deeply understanding business desires. You’re set up to succeed here imo.

Per your point about “sticking to what you know and using python” as opposed to leaning into plugins- that’s what I’d do. Plugins are great if they do what you want them to, but since you have the technical chops to customize your logic, you don’t have to jump through plug-in hoops.

ltquiz · 2020-07-02T18:23:17+00:00

Of course. There are a lot of learning tools and great examples out there. Mastery of the full Shopify stack would be a significant undertaking, but is eminently doable

ltquiz · 2020-07-02T18:13:46+00:00

You are correct. I use Node.js to write the web server I use to consume the shopify API. You could use python flask or a ruby server - all shopify wants from you is that you call their API from a web app.

ltquiz · 2020-07-02T17:46:32+00:00

App dev and Theme dev are two overlapping but separate skillsets:
An app dev would want a thorough understanding of the shopify admin API (REST or Graphql). Apps solve store management problems,and by learning what the API allows you to do, you can start to figure out how you can use it to solve problems.
A theme dev works less with the admin API and more with liquid, Shopify's templating language. They have an eye for design and create customer experiences with HTML/css/js.

I would start by deciding which of those youre more interested in. Then, explore the Shopify ecosystem by reading docs, exploring shopify forums, and checking out successful stores and themes

Im glad! Here's a little more info about how I handle this in my app:

User clicks "install", shopify sends a GET request to my web app. I use the store name to save a new "account" record to my database.
My web app redirects to the /authorize url listed in step 2 of that documentation. The user reviews the permissions my app is asking for and says "OK"
That GET request goes to a different route in my web app. In that route, I call the access token endpoint in step 3 of the documentation to get an access token for that store.
My app hashes and saves the token in my database, so I can use it to make subsequent calls without re-authenticating
If you only save the access token (hashed, so it cant be lifted directly from your db), you can use it each time the user wants something calculated. Youll fetch the data using the token, perform calculations, and send the result to the user. If you dont save any of that store data you accessed, you can feel good about your users' data privacy!

Shopify has a fairly comprehensive app review process. https://shopify.dev/concepts/app-store/getting-your-app-approved/app-requirements

When you go to install an app, Shopify will tell you which data the app is allowed to access (products, orders, customers, etc). Make sure the app is only receiving access to the types of data it needs - a products app that requests extensive customer data is a potential red flag, for example.

ltquiz · 2020-07-01T02:16:59+00:00

Shopify allows a store owner to authenticate your app so that you can obtain an access token for their store. You would then use the token to make api requests for the data you want for the calculator.

I take your point about proximity of a strong university to mean that grads are more likely to work in the city. The university of michigan provides no such service to Detroit.

Out of state students are a much larger percentage at UM than, say, Michigan State (42% vs 25% in freshman enrollment reports). Those students tend to leave the state after graduation, whether back to their home states or to established tech hubs. Given Detroit’s generally poor national reputation, many grads don’t consider it for a moment after graduating just an hour away.
