What HTML5 block element would you use for disclaimer? It is to be used on a blog in terms of a visually different block element. Something like this: Any views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of ***. At the moment it's a div, but I am considering use of aside or perhaps even blockquote. What do you use? submitted by /u/crs1138-1 [link] [comments […]

I've been a developer for two years and at this point I can create any full stack products from scratch. But give me a code challenge that you typically see on codewars, hackerrank, or any technical assessment and I feel super useless. Is there something wrong with me? Or is this a normal thing? This will be my first time on actual job hunting (I was an intern who got hired so I have no prior job hunting experience) and I'm doing bad at code challenges so far, this is giving me bad bad inferiority complex and now I am somehow afraid to apply for jobs. 🙁 submitted by /u/AbanaClara [link] [comments […]

There is a huge difference between a website (which can generate leads) and a lead capture page (which is only supposed to generate leads). Websites tell visitors: This is all of the stuff we can do for you. Have a look around and let us know when you’re ready to spend some money! Lead capture pages, instead, tell visitors: We have this one super valuable thing we want to give you for free. […]

So I've been trying to make a timeline and I figured all I needed to do was make a line down the middle of the page and, using the left and right properties, stagger textboxes down either side of the line. However, there's so much text in each textbox that it was hard to see that it was a timeline, so I overlapped the divs using top positioning to make it easier to see multiple boxes at a glance. It looked fine until I scrolled down and discovered that while the top property does appear to move the div up the page, the div technically stays where it is on the DOM, so I'm left with a huge gap at the bottom where the divs would have been had I not moved them up. To see what I mean, you can find the timeline I made here: oldenglish.info/history.html Anyone know if there's a way to overlap divs that doesn't cause this to happen? submitted by /u/Veec [link] [comments […]

I am currently on a project that has many dependencies, and the company as a whole is moving towards a CI/CD process. Can anyone provide an opinion on using it in enterprise systems and any experiences using it? I feel scared because I've always done dependency upgrades manually, one at a time, and making sure breaking changes don't occur. Automated tests are one thing, but this project doesn't have nearly full coverage on any level; perhaps I'm answering my own question as I type this. Continue to implement full test coverage and then consider dependabot? submitted by /u/bigdbag999 [link] [comments […]

See the title. I'm trying to test these conditions and display them on the screen. And yes, before you ask, I'm not allowed to use anything but PURE JAVASCRIPT. I don't want to have to define each one of these out, but I'm not sure why the loop isn't working. https://jsfiddle.net/6fepLow8/ Thanks. submitted by /u/iSignifies [link] [comments […]

My team used to have a MongoDB database until they migrated to PostgreSQL, claiming that having a lot of joins needed, postgre is most suitable in terms of performance. Why is that? I always thought that since mongo had the option to save an object id on documents and populate them on request, it has some optimizations for that or something. When should you use either then? submitted by /u/dor442 [link] [comments […]

Hey guys, I asked for some feedback on my website a few weeks ago. I was somewhat surprised that people were unsatisfied about the small UI stuff on my websites instead of some major features that I didn't implement like custom profile pictures (maybe it is because they didn't play with the site enough). What design and practices can power a front-end and make a user go, “holy shit I am going to use the service just for the clean website". submitted by /u/RedditAcy [link] [comments […]

Hey all, ​ $TLDR = 'How can I increase my value as a low-mid level web developer?'; echo $TLDR; ​ I am reaching a point with my current job where I want to start looking for better opportunities as I solely view my current position as a stepping stone. I am not interested in being at this company past Christmas this year, lots of complaints but it's no use whining online about them. ​ I am sort of lost in the plethora of options available to me in terms of improving my skills. I have a lot of holes in my knowledge that this job just doesn't require that the jobs I want will require, such as not knowing TDD or AWS and several other things. I just want to know what will get me the most bang for my buck as a PHP/WordPress developer with about a years experience. ​ Thanks for any input. submitted by /u/moonsout_goonsout [link] [comments […]

Unfortunately, I've had a very hard time finding examples of people using CSS Grid with a wrapper. This is what I came up with. The wrapper portion of my website has max-width of 1340px. Our website uses 5 columns, so each column is 268px. Note that, some elements do bleed out of the wrapper, to cover the whole width. // WRAPPER CONFIG $wrapper-width: 1340px; // Based on design PSD $column-width: 268px; //1340 / 5 = 268. Our design uses 5 columns. .grid { display: grid; grid-template-columns: minmax(1rem, 1fr) //space left of wrapper minmax(min-content, $column-width) //column with 268px width minmax( min-content, calc(4 \* #{$column-width}) ) // column with 1072px width minmax(1rem, 1fr); //space right of wrapper grid-template-areas: //example layout "A A A A" ". B B ." "C C C C" ". D D ."; } Any comments, and critiques? If you know a better example/resource, I'd love to know. submitted by /u/darkgreyghost [link] [comments […]

I see a lot of portfolios and I go to their github code, I notice there is minimal to no documentation on about half of them. From my understanding, documenting code is huge, to make it easier for someome who doesn't know the code, it will make it easier for them to read/understand what's going on. That includes minimal or no README either. I'm just curious, want to make sure I know what's what haha. I try to document the crap out of my code, so just curious If that is good or bad!

So, I'll get straight to the point. I'm a student and know a fair bit about HTML/CSS/JS. I have recently used the CMS system of Lightspeed eCom, which I really liked. The system used Twig as a template engine, and it allowed completely custom webpages using plain HTML/CSS/JS. As in the name, Lightspeed eCom is for websites in the eCommerce world. Now I'm looking for a similar CMS that's more fitting for very basic sites, like onepages and stuff. The most important thing for me is the combination of an "CMS interface" that is very easy to use + complete freedom in creating a template for the content the website owner writes/uploads. Stuff like Wordpress is way to bloated for my liking, and I have yet to find a way to get complete freedom in building templates in Wordpress. A few google searches have shown some possible CMS systems, but I haven't come across something that convinced me right away. Would love to hear some experiences and suggestions. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Potatoplayer [link] [comments […]

I just started trying to learn webpack today so this is probably a stupid question, but here it goes anyway. I have a simple test project set up with webpack installed. In my /src/ directory I have several javascript files I want to be combined and minified to my /dist/ directory, but for now I'm just trying to get a single file minified. Here is what my webpack.config.js looks like: const path = require( 'path' ); module.exports = { entry: { 'foo.min.js': [ path.resolve( __dirname, 'src/foo-js' ), ], }, output: { filename: '[name]', path: path.resolve( __dirname, 'dist' ), } }; foo-1.js: const FOO = {}; when I run npm run build I get my minified /dist/foo.min.js file, but it looks like this: !function(e){var t={};function n(r){if(t[r])return t[r].exports;var o=t[r]={i:r,l:!1,exports:{}};return e[r].call(o.exports,o,o.exports,n),o.l=!0,o.exports}n.m=e,n.c=t,n.d=function(e,t,r){n.o(e,t)||Object.defineProperty(e,t,{enumerable:!0,get:r})},n.r=function(e){"undefined"!=typeof Symbol&&Symbol.toStringTag&&Object.defineProperty(e,Symbol.toStringTag,{value:"Module"}),Object.defineProperty(e,"__esModule",{value:!0})},n.t=function(e,t){if(1&t&&(e=n(e)),8&t)return e;if(4&t&&"object"==typeof e&&e&&e.__esModule)return e;var r=Object.create(null);if(n.r(r),Object.defineProperty(r,"default",{enumerable:!0,value:e}),2&t&&"string"!=typeof e)for(var o in e)n.d(r,o,function(t){return e[t]}.bind(null,o));return r},n.n=function(e){var t=e&&e.__esModule?function(){return e.default}:function(){return e};return n.d(t,"a",t),t},n.o=function(e,t){return Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(e,t)},n.p="",n(n.s=0)}([function(e,t,n){e.exports=n(1)},function(e,t){}]); No idea what's going on here, and the following code fails with "ReferenceError: FOO is undefined": <script src="/dist/foo.min.js"></script> <script>console.log( FOO );</script> What am I doing wrong? submitted by /u/sporadicPenguin [link] [comments […]
