I'm 18 years old, doing full-stack web dev for ~2 years (Django, node.js, whatever.js, no wordpress stuff) and charge ~35-40 euro/hour while studying computer science. I get most of my projects through word-of-mouth and…
Hello PythonicPro, I'm currently using Vue.js to do some projects and can explain you everything you need to get started - it's a great framework and doesn't hide too much Javascript and emphasizes POJO (Plain old…
This reminds me of a new Blackmirror episode called "Playtest" where an AI tries to find a way to scare a game tester. I think this could help to dynamically create the required assets and support game developers,…
I agree to your sentiment that needless complexity is bad, technical debt is a real thing and it is plain reckless to use something for the sake of it. But the term "complexity" gets used in two different meanings in…
A psychologist told me that she analyzed men who have prostate cancer. Long story short, she found out that men who simply go to the doctor every 4-5 months to make sure that everything's fine are happier than those who…
I've used Ember.js in the past and must admit that it got in the way and the whole team was magnitudes slower than it should be, although I would also see the bad codebase we had to build upon was a big factor of this,…
Thanks for the link, his story is great! I'm convinced that compilers and formal languages are the core fundamentals of computer science, amazing that he got into it so young.
It's easy to show how complex those systems are. It's easy because they are complex. And that's pretty normal. Let someone talk about Java Enterprise development, the symptoms of your body and their diagnoses or just…
I second the part about ego. I once wanted to write a BaaS because I was not happy with parse-server. After considering the time efforts and comparing it with the efforts to improve parse-server I decided to just…
I don't think that it's fair to blame the frameworks. You should see it the other way 'round: They save you 80% of your time. The 80/20 rule is real (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle), 20% of the whole…
I thought like those junior devs for a while, too, and I agree to your sentiment. The feeling that the CEO I was working with was doing mundane tasks was astonishingly - he even said that he could to his whole job using…
I talked to a police officer in Germany and he told me that police abuse happens even if they wear cameras. He said that those who wear cameras simply don't record their colleagues who are hitting people i.e. looking to…
"meet rent next month"? You're not going to find clients that fast and even if, they usually take their two weeks to pay your invoice. I know some people who get 350$ setting up wordpress pages in the morning, but this…
The best way to solve this is to find a business partner who is also a good friend of you. The best freelance teams I know contain extroverts who connect with the clients (and sometimes develop) and god-like developers…
Ok, I know how you feel. You are 26yo and you are definitely a good programmer. The problem: You're not 10yo anymore, so no one will congratulate you for building your bots and games. You realized that. You are…
