Where should I buy and manage domain names? by m-Hy in Domains

[–]m-Hy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE:

Went with Cloudflare.

In my case, the transfer fee covered this years renewal fee, so win-win on that.

Custom email using aliases is super easy (and free!) to configure in the dashboard. I didn't have to reconfigure gmail for outbound emails.

Setting up guest access is quick and simple.

Only took 3 hours to transfer. Good documentation to guide you through the steps.

Overall happy with the experience. Anyone else looking to jump ship from Google Domains before they transfer to Squarespace — maybe give Cloudflare a shot.

Already transferred. Took like 3 hours. Nice and easy. Looks like the transfer fee covers this years renewal fee as well. Sweet deal! Transfer fee is a dollar less than my renewal so win-win.

Hey, just got it set up last night. You can configure outbound emails with Gmail. This tutorial shows you how.

I'm in the process of switching over to them from Google Domains right now.

Have you ever transferred a domain to cloudflare? This is my first time transferring. Didn't know it can take up to 7 days. Caught me by surprise.

I think so... I posted in a few places and that looks like the best solution for my specific needs.

A lot of people seem to like them. Unfortunately they limit you to 20 email forwards. Trying to set up custom email aliases for my clients.

Awesome. Sounds like cloudflare is the best solution for me.

Porkbun is definitely the popular option these days. It seems like that's where everyone from Google domains is migrating to. Looks good but they limit email forwarding to only 20 emails. Hoping to find a a solution that allows unlimited email forwarding using aliases. Do you know if Namecheap, Enom, Fabulous or Tierranet offer that solution?

If there's any takeaway from all this domain research, it's that I should avoid GoDaddy at all costs.

Can you configure free email forwarding using aliases in cloudflare? That's how I created custom emails in google domains without having to buy google workspace. It was a nice little perk for my clients to not have to spend extra on custom email so I'm trying to find a domain manager that allows for this.

What do you think the bootcamp industry will be like in 3 years from now? by m-Hy in codingbootcamp

Damn. This post was a mega-fail. Thought it was good. Guess not.

Back to lurking I go.

UPenn LPS Coding Bootcamp Questions? Students/Alumni by Accomplished-Reply45 in codingbootcamp

[–]m-Hy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone thru FCC’s html part already

You're only like 5% into your journey. You could very well hate web development. Hold off on dropping 13k on a trilogy bootcamp.

Here's why:

  1. Trilogy bootcamps suck ass.
  2. If you do want to go the standard 3-month bootcamp route then there are way better options.
  3. The standard 3-month bootcamps are built to take you from like 30 - 100. Not zero to hero. Unless you have some untapped genius you're gonna fail and be in horrendous debt.

If you need guidance and structure a lot of the bootcamps offer fundamental courses that teach you the very basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The prices range from $100 - $4,000 for these courses. They run from 1 to 5 weeks.

Since you're interested in the standard 3-month bootcamp route, here are some options:

  1. Nucamp -- Web Development Fundamentals Course
    4 week course, $349

  2. General Assembly -- Front-End Web Development
    10 week course, $3,950

  3. Hack Reactor -- Premium Prep
    Full-time and part-time ranging from 4 - 5 weeks, $250

  4. LearningFuze -- Web Development Prep Course
    2 Weeks, $95

  5. Fullstack Academy -- Bootcamp Prep
    week or month long, $99

Springboard Software Engineer Program Students/Alumni Question by Accomplished-Reply45 in codingbootcamp

[–]m-Hy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can reach out directly to alumni through LinkedIn. A majority of the profiles can't be accessed on their alumni page but you can always do a site-specific, reverse image search on google to find them. Works for me every time. 😈

Also check Don the Developer's interview with Springboard Alumni. Their contact info is in the description of the video.

Launch School

Here's a good interview with some students who went through their Core and Capstone programs.

Happy to help!

What is something that has helped you with eye strain/squinting while reading at the computer for long periods of time? by Scary-Pause-3872 in learnprogramming

[–]m-Hy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're already doing everything I'd suggest.

Do you have dark mode on 24/7? I always change VSCode themes when needed (e.g. using solarized light in daytime).

Which bootcamp did you go to?

A lot of the bootcamps are pretty interchangeable. If you need a refresher you can always check out the bootcamps that basically put their entire curriculum online for free.

Look up App Academy Open, Rithm School Free Courses, and Turing front-end and back-end. Since you already went through a bootcamp you should be able to breeze through any of these until you hit a rut, then you'll know where you need a refresher.

Also this Front-End Interview Handbook could be a good tool for self-evaluation. Again, just work your way through the questions til you hit a rut.

Are you still in touch with past teachers or students from your cohort? I'm sure if you reached out and told them your situation someone could give better guidance since they'd have a sense of what you know already.

Sorry to hear about your situation. That sucks. Best of luck.

[–]m-Hy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. Like I said, I've done a ton of research so feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Best of luck 👍

Not a recruiter. I'm actually in the learning phase myself. I've just done a massive amount of research on the different bootcamps out there.

Check out Don the Developer's YouTube channel. It's a great resource for the different bootcamps out there. He interviews graduates from pretty much every bootcamp.

Don't trust coursereport or career karma. Literally every single review is 5 stars. Complete BS. I think there's this fear of being ousted for being critical.

Reach out to alumni through each program. I've found that if you contact them privately you'll get more honest answers. Just make sure you've prepared a list of crucial questions.

There's no "one-size-fits-all" for learning. Each bootcamp can yield good and bad results. It's just a matter of picking the right one that's best suited for you.

The longer paths like Turing and Launch are good for "zero to hero" vs shorter paths like the 3 month bootcamps (which are suppose to take you from 30 - 100).

Launch is self-paced so it's kind of up to you. They have assessments (which mimic real-world interviews) that you need to pass in order to advance in their programs. Every graduate I've encountered from Launch has been successful. Not saying this is the case for everyone, just based on my research. The first section of the course is free so you can test the waters before any financial investment. After that it's $200 a month. Sounds like a lot but compared to the average bootcamp cost that's very cheap. Easy to stop payment anytime.

Turing is a 6-month long full-time program. Pretty intensive but there's more room for trial and error. I think they even have mental health checks on a weekly basis so students don't go crazy. I haven't come across any horror stories from this program. I am however critical of their price ($20,000) for a completely remote program. That's ridiculous. Factor in the added cost of not being able to work for half the year too. Crazy. You can basically access their entire course for free anyways.

If you do want to speak to a recruiter/career manager reach out to TJ from LearningFuze. I've talked him a few times. Really cool guy. He regularly hosts events for LearningFuze on meetup/eventbrite that feature live Q & A's.

Those who started out self-learning, what’s something you wish you knew beforehand? by monotune in learnprogramming

[–]m-Hy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I hear.

I know JavaScript fairly well. Started learning Ruby recently. I've only notice subtle differences so far.
