Hey DevRant,
I know there is a range of devs here from novice to expert. So I wanted to get feedback on a platform I was building.

Essentially it's a web platform where Devs can authenticate with their Github profiles and all their repos (non-forked) and pulled to the website to quickly create a portfolio for the users. I currently have two templates users can switch between I plan on adding more if it begins to catch on.

Besides that users will be able to message and find each based on their skills to possibly connect with one another to work on projects together.

I have a lot of features I want to implement, but it wouldn't make sense to do those things now, I would have to wait for the user base to reach a certain milestone.

So I just wanted to share it and get everyone's feedback and possibly if you see value in it to share it with their own companions

Hey ranters!

I'm here to ask a huge favor.
So I used to be on the app more frequently last year, but I started to work on a shit ton of personal/professional projects. I'm not technically back to being a regular again (probably never will be), I'm back to ask all you great devs to possibly check out a platform I'm working on. It's not 100% completed yet, but I'm at that weird 90% mark where you're almost done but you start to find other interesting things to do, so I'm forcing myself to ask people to hop on it to give me that push. It's going to have some interesting (if I say so myself) features.Definitely appreciate it! (Please don't kill me over the UI/UX, I'm primarily a backend dev...but it'll definitely improve by 100% Launch)

AND ONE LAST THING....I don't have a good name for it yet so..there's that..

THANKS!

$('#element' + 'itemID').on('change',function() {
Var elem = $('#element' + 'itemID')
elem.addClass
elem.css
} )

That block of code 14 times....it was my laziest..all 14 functions was copied and pasted twiced too inside an if else block i believe...sad noob javascript days

I wonder what kind of website's people like DaVinci, Van Gogh, Tesla Einstein, etc. Would've had nowwadays

Making an MVP is hard as hell. It's not even coding that makes it hard, it's knowing when to stop that's so damn difficult. By the time you're ready with something, your brain says "Hey...wouldnt it be great if you added this!" Then you add it, "whoa add this too!"...several days later:
Brain: "The fuck is this, all you needed was that"
😭😭😭

What's an online resource devs could really use besides friendlier stackoverflow?

I've been working on this personal project for awhile, I showed some screenshots, then I showed some updates (which I promptly deleted cause it was plain ugly). A website aimed at the "not-so-seasoned" devs, and I've been at a creative plateau for about 3 days now. I try to do some front-end, when I like what I see, I take care of the corresponding server-side logic, but for some reason, I'm having "Developer's block" (is that even a thing?).
Every second that goes by I try to do something else none code related, but I can't shake thinking about the project, but once I switch back to it, fuckin crickets.

I'm not asking a question this time (for once lol), just a mini dev's block rant.

Any web plantations hiring?

My respect to front-end developers. Since I do fullstack, The con is It takes slightly longer to perfect your front or back end skills since you technically have to put 50/50 your mental energy into it. The Pro however is the appreciation/understanding you get to walk away with for both jobs.

But you really need a certain "eye" to do front end, especially when you find inspiration but you don't want to just copy their shit. Sheesh

How do you guys gets out of your mental funks??

I normally meditate or more recently use yoga. But i can't do those at all hours of the day.

Would anyone know of a hackerrank type of api, where users can hold language agnostic challenges? I want to add that to my project but they stopped their api.

Anybody know of any other apis?
CodeEarth & CodeWars don't provide what I need.

I normally would create what I need and don't find but I assume that making something as sophisticated would be very very time consuming

Remember when that fuckin api *cough*hankerrank api*cough* you REALLY REALLY need(ed) just ups and stops working...

How many years of development constitute to graduation from having the "Junior" title?

If you're a web developer OR python developer, what are the top 3 concepts you should understand like the back of your hand?

Fuck Development...I'm becoming a beekeeper!

Fuck NYC....just got hit with a fucking parking ticket for double parking. $115. *sigh* *pets cat in sadness*

Hey, a webapp with the ability to customize your profile's color scheme, Yay or Nay?

Do you guys prefer seperate css files or inline styling?

Not to ask the same question twice, but really hope for answers from you experienced devs.

How did you guys move into landing clients for yourself? Also, Have any of you used Instagram and landed gigs?

Thanks in advance guys/gals

Do any experienced developers have tips on beginning to freelance. I normally get sub-contracted work for back-end gigs, however I'd like to start landing fullstack clients of my own.

All advice welcomed!

So I made a rant about an hour or so ago about Django Rest Framework....this rant is about my own stupidity...Why didn't I just FULLY watch tutorial videos? The same videos I quickly blasted through like Haribo Sugar Free Gummy Bears blasts through your intestines are the same videos that are providing the answers I needed.

So I'm a fullstack Python Dev & I wanted to learn Django Rest Framework so I can ease into making PWA. I figured let me learn it as I build out an MVP for a web app I'm creating...WRONG! This shit is mega annoying! It's taken much much more time than i'd like just to set up User sign up and sign in using a form based on the serializers. I started this project Friday....I still have no forms 😭😭...If i just had used Regular Django Models/Forms, an Ajax call here and there i wouldve been done!! What makes it worse is I feel I'm legit the only person having these issues...sheesh
