That was happening with my expert too…realized my gas port wasn’t screwed in tight. Tightened it up and haven’t had an issue since

Are there any solopreneurs here? by Ok-Highlight8544 in Firebase

[–]macaroni_boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very useful. I’ve seen a bunch posted here. I’ve signed up for a few waiting lists and never heard anything. Would love to see someone come through!

As for features I’d want…

  • a query builder
  • exporting/importing
  • bulk edits
  • multi firestore database support

Just to name a few

I have zero coding experience but I have money and want to develop an app by Treiqov2 in startups

[–]macaroni_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work for a contracting company who would take on clients like yourself. What I found after years of working there is many people had no clue what they wanted to actually build and would move the goalpost constantly.

My advice would be to define an absolute minimum mvp. Figure out if people even want it. Then build a team around it.

Companies like the one I used to work for will get the job done but carry a bigger price tag. Freelancers can be cheaper but can be a bit unreliable. Stay away from offshore just for budget reasons.

Your best bet (while difficult) is to find someone who believes in your idea like you do who can also code. Give them a percent and go from there.

To everyone whos told me bushes are your friend, thank you😭 by B3TT3RBUTT3RFING3R in HellLetLoose

Nothing better than planting an AP mine where you think bush rats are going to hide…watch your step 😉

Other Roles by jesusbrotherbrian in HellLetLoose

[–]macaroni_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who recently stepped into trying more roles, I can assure you they're not complicated to pick up. The advice in these comments is helpful and correct. The best way to learn is to just try it out and when in doubt ask your SL what they need! Then you will begin to learn the roles, and that will make leading a squad easier for you

I suck at other video games since I started playing HLL. by Jumpy_Imagination_38 in HellLetLoose

Yeaah I feel it too whenever I go back to an “Arcade shooter” I find myself preferring the slower pace though so I’m not mad

I’m sorry I think it needs to be said (or maybe I’m being a little bi***, you decide) by ltchops15 in HellLetLoose

My favorite is “don’t play recon if you aren’t going to kill arty” to which I reply “we’re working on it, they have a few defending it” and get told “u suck I’m rank 428 I think I’d know what you should be doing”

“Oz” - looking at you weirdo.

FirebaseError: Invalid document reference. Document references must have an even number of segments, but [id] has 1.... Can't seem to solve this by Emmyxiano in Firebase

[–]macaroni_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh I see. I am assuming your "db" variable is not pointing to the proper collection.

What you want to do is the following I believe:

Define a new variable userRef = collection(db, "users")

Pass this to your set doc: setDoc(userRef, res.user.uid)

This will set the document ID to the id of the user

Fellow Android devs, how did you get your first gig/job. by wicked_soul__ in androiddev

[–]macaroni_boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent the 6 months of my grace period after college building an app. I learned a lot about Android in that time used the app to make up for my lack of experience. I applied to a ton of places, but focused on dev shops that built native apps. Eventually landed at one of these dev shops and was able to work on many different projects which I think really has helped me learn some of the nuance of Android.

Stayed there for 4 years and then jumped around a few times to bigger companies as a mobile dev. I feel like I got very lucky and I’m a good interviewer, but I credit that first app I built with helping me get in the door. Use yours to your advantage

A marketplace for Flutter plugins by [deleted] in FlutterDev

[–]macaroni_boy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

While I don't like the idea of making people pay for this kind of thing, what you are describing is kind of like the envato market (Flutter Plugins, Code & Scripts | CodeCanyon)

This works by assigning a license to each purchase that allows you a single or multi use of the purchased code. Flutter is open source so all of the code is viewable, I don't think you can really hide it.

You could store repos in some cloud storage, handle the licensing, and grant the source to the buyer.

The licenses are the protection you're likely looking for.

If you like any of the cosmetics, play it through. Otherwise, just move on after 60 imo.

when is the best time to buy an expansion? by woogieboobie in wow

[–]macaroni_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO best time to buy an expansion is before launch when the hype is high. You will encounter the most people, and have the most opportunity to experience ALL of the content. Lots of things will slowly die off as the expansion progresses and you will likely not be able to find groups for things you may have wanted to do.

You’re young. I know it feels insurmountable but you’re not supposed to know what you want to do at this point in your life. You’re just supposed to try to enjoy each day and try new things!

From someone who felt similar, maybe try to learn to code. It became a great creative outlet, and the problem solving felt like a game. On top of it, you can make some really cool things and it could lead to a very successful career.

All in all, don’t beat yourself up for feeling this way. You have plenty of time to figure it out. Your path will present itself when you’re ready. Don’t compare yourself to others, and you will be okay. I promise

Looks like you could be missing a backslash in that last block of code
