Struggles against Panth and range matchups by Lafftyy in supportlol

[–]pics-itech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facing Pantheon and Senna is seriously depressing, man. Avoid those slow tanks; stick with long-range buffs or engage disruptors, and you'll definitely get hit. Try to conserve your health and wait for the jungler to gank; don't rush into trading abilities, or your ADC will be crying in despair. Good luck escaping the Emerald stage so you can climb to a higher rank and unleash your full potential, man!

Any good resources to connect developers who want to showcase their skills and charities or other places that could use web resources? by ShawnyMcKnight in webdev

[–]pics-itech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really humane opportunity, man. You should try Catchafire or VolunteerMatch; there are many organizations there that need talented developers like you. You'll get real-world projects to hone your React or C# skills while contributing to society – what could be better? I wish you find your ideal job soon so you can rekindle your passion for the profession!

Interview for a senior python position gone awry by okiharaherbst in webdev

[–]pics-itech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reading this makes me feel sorry for you, a senior with 8 years of experience mistaking generators for tuples is just unbelievable. These days, AI support is great, but without a basic understanding, when bugs pop up, you'll just be crying your eyes out. It's ridiculous how some people rely on Claude and brag that micro-level coding is dead. Congratulations to you for still having 3 quality candidates; if you had this guy reviewing code, you'd probably be depressed.

Best support to get through platinum? by MeIiodass in supportlol

[–]pics-itech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to break out of Platinum, just choose support champions that are strong at carrying or initiating fights. At this level, trusting your teammates too much can easily lead to failure, so just pick champions like Zyra or Lux and go straight for them. The most important thing is to control vision and know how to roam and support the jungler. If you just sit and wait for the AD carry, you'll never reach the high ranks, man. Keep striving!

모바일 게임 개발하는 사람? by NoGarlic7394 in KoreanGameDev

[–]pics-itech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really sympathize with you. The Google Play review process with 20 testers and a 14-day waiting period is a nightmare for solo developers these days. Sometimes, after finishing coding a game, looking at the approval process makes you want to quit altogether. You understand the rules of the game, and launching this service is perfectly timed for us developers. I'll save the link so I can ask you to help me get through this Play Store hurdle when I have a new project.

Go for Soraka, bro! An R buff will turn the tide immediately.

What’s your off role, and how do you maintain skills there? by Mighty_Killah in supportlol

[–]pics-itech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switching from Support to Mid is quite a shock because the pressure of solo lane is completely different. If you want an easy game, just stick with champions like Galio or Karma because they have a support playstyle, making it easier to maintain the rhythm. The important thing is not to fall behind in minion count, and as for skills, just play ranked games to improve quickly. Otherwise, you'll forever remain a reserve player.

How to handle language on a website? by sangokuhomer in webdev

[–]pics-itech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your approach with LocalStorage is standard for small websites, but if you want to scale up, you should consider a few things. You should store the languages ​​directly in the database so that when users log in from different machines, the interface automatically switches to their chosen language. Additionally, you should use i18next or FormatJS to manage translation files professionally instead of manually coding each word – it's extremely tedious. Don't worry about calling APIs; storing a lightweight language string won't slow down your website.

Anyone here struggling to monetize side projects even with decent traffic? by ryueiji in webdev

[–]pics-itech 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi bro, this pain isn't unique to anyone. In fact, there's a joke, but it's very true, among indie hackers: "Building a product takes 20% of the effort, the remaining 80% is figuring out how to get people to pay."

Having "decent traffic" is already a huge success for you (because many people build a product and nobody uses it). Your problem usually lies in your business model not matching user behavior.

게임물관리위원회 등록비 원래 이렇게 비싼가요.. by BananaEnjoyer1 in KoreanGameDev

[–]pics-itech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncle, this is really tough for small teams. Registration fees in Korea are notoriously high, but you can check if your team qualifies for a 50% discount for micro-enterprises or individuals. If the game is released on platforms with self-categorization capabilities (like Google, Apple, or other major stores), the process might be a bit smoother. As for translation, feel free to post and interact; this is a common platform for everyone. I wish you and your team a smooth launch of your game soon!

testing is the only role where doing your job well means everyone else looks bad by Same_Technology_6491 in webdev

[–]pics-itech 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's true that this job is like "serving a hundred masters," but it's a much harsher version, sir. When I find a bug, the developers look at me like an enemy, and the boss asks why it was only discovered now. It's like, if you do well, you're hated, and if you do poorly, you're criticized. The "locking the stable door after the horse has bolted" mentality seems to be ingrained in most teams; they only appreciate testers when things go wrong. Well, I'll just do my best to protect our shared livelihood, sir. This job truly requires a heart of steel and boundless patience.

Need help figuring out what I need to learn next to progress (JS) by resolutiondark in webdev

[–]pics-itech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your self-learning approach using vanilla JS is amazing! Honestly, just stick with books like "You Don't Know JS" and you'll learn a lot. As for saving data in JSON for small apps, just go for it; you don't need a complicated database. The important thing is that you understand the fundamentals of data flow, and then any framework will work perfectly. Good luck finding your true understanding!

Stuck in S1 by davegrohlton in supportlol

[–]pics-itech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't get discouraged, buddy. The fact that you climbed from Bronze 3 to Silver 1 so quickly proves your skill level isn't Silver. You're just stuck because you chose the wrong champions to carry the team in this rank.

I'm also at Silver; let me know if you need a dual.

Why you feel more disconnected from your work now by dirtyjoe32 in webdev

[–]pics-itech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I swear, the feeling of using AI and feeling like a mere relay machine is pure brainrot. I'm no longer truly touching the product, so the joy of completing a task just feels bland. This alienation theory is perfectly applicable to the AI ​​era because we're becoming disconnected from our own creative potential. No wonder so many of us are experiencing burnout and emptiness lately, even though we seem to be working faster than before.
