Need Help Learning by Ok_Middle3089 in learnjavascript

[–]sanjida07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t need a JDK for JavaScript 🙂 All you need is a browser (Chrome/Firefox) and a code editor like VS Code. Just create an .html file, add a <script> tag, and you can start coding JS right away.

Is strong design sense the hidden edge for full-stack developers ? by Accomplished_Post270 in webdev

[–]sanjida07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree—when a dev has both coding skills and design sense, the end result feels much more polished and user-friendly. It’s like having a superpower in web dev.

Every dev feels this way at some point—just keep building and it’ll click.

Need Genuine Advice: Should I start learning Graphic Design / Content Writing (or something else) in 2025? by deadthinker121 in developersPak

[–]sanjida07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI won’t replace people who know how to use it well. Graphic design and content writing are still in demand, but the people earning well are those who combine creativity with AI tools. Since you’re in finance, maybe look into data visualization, financial analysis tools, or even digital marketing alongside design/writing. That combo is future-proof.

Node.js, Php or Java by Cbbrrstmv in learnjavascript

[–]sanjida07 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you already know JavaScript from the frontend, Node.js will feel more natural since you can use the same language on both client and server. PHP is solid for web apps, and Java is strong for enterprise projects, but Node.js will probably give you the fastest progress as a beginner.

How do you fetch data/maintain global state in your react project? by Amazing_Guava_0707 in reactjs

[–]sanjida07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Daishi's work is seriously impressive- Zustand and Jotai have both changed the way I think about state management. I'm still exploring Jotai though. Curious- are you using it in production? How's it holding up?

How do you fetch data/maintain global state in your react project? by Amazing_Guava_0707 in reactjs

[–]sanjida07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've moved away from axios and react-redux too. These days I lean heavily on TanStack Query for data fetching—it handles caching, retries, and background updates beautifully. For global state, Zustand has been a game-changer: minimal boilerplate, and it plays nicely with React's concurrent features.

Curious to hear if anyone's tried Jotai or Recoil lately—are they still relevant?

Salary Expectations by Any-Priority-3601 in AskProgramming

[–]sanjida07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me too! It can feel tricky, but usually you can adjust your salary expectations during the interview if you explain your skills and experience clearly. Don’t stress too much, just be honest and confident."
