Frontend framework history in a nutshell

Frontend framework history in a nutshell- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello Peeps,

I used to work in python only for data though. Currently learning django to help me write the code for my idea. 

I'm working on an idea that would mostly be a web app.

Users can perform actions on the webpage. Imagine interacting with screens and they would just be images, I'd write the other custom logics.

Any recommendations for the tech stack I should learn?

Hey Guys,

I’m a front end developer closing in on 10YOE. 
Looking at the current market, I want to be interview ready before push comes to the shove. 


However I am looking for resources for system design rounds. I have seen companies have different expectations for system design from front end roles. 

Thanks in Advance. Cheers!

Are any companies adopting any newer and modern technologies or are they sticking with what they have?

Frontend development

I really hate and dread frontend. Those javascript scares the shit out of me. Then there are frameworks which gets outdated every other year and wouldn't back support. Hell of a technology.

I hate Frontend. What about you?

Hello everyone, I'm a frontend engineer with 2+ years of experience. Ive been looking for a switch, and I thought it would help everyone if I created a thread for it here.

If you are hiring, or know of openings in your team, do let us know in the comments. 
Thank you!

Frontend opportunities thread

I am currently employed in a startup where I work in the frontend part of the application written in Angular. How should I approach backend development. Is this even needed or just FE knowledge is enough for EM/architect roles.

Looking for Sr.Frontend Developer

Recruiter

I work in a startup. We're currently on an ongoing pivot. I started working here as a founding engineer. I have worked here for around 2 years now. Majorly i worked on frontend part with react native (which is totally a new thing for me when i joined). During my tenure here there was no senior engineer who could review my work and give me the skills i required to build my career. Our founder was happy if the app was working fine. During the initial phase we needed to launch the app as soon as possible so i quickly learned the basic things i needed to make an app with react native. In this time all of these things (js and web world) are very new to me as i was coming from developing native android apps with java. Now im trying to switch so that i can work with a team of experienced engineers. While attempting interviews for frontend engineer, I found that whatever I've done in my current job was nothing more than a college project and I really didn't got to learn any industry level stuff. I'm feeling like im still a fresher out of college. 

I tried working on my frontend skills but as we all know it's a very huge field. Html, css, js, frontend frameworks, hell lot of libraries.

I'm feeling so overwhelmed.

Whenever i attend a new interview i get to know new concepts which i never knew exist.


Any suggestions for me guys?

Frontend dev openings

I recently joined a company that utilizes AngularJS and has a lot of custom tooling. The project is well-structured, and I am learning new things. However, I've started to develop a fear that I might be missing out on a shiny new framework and will have a lot to catch up on later. Do all big tech companies constantly move to new, stable technologies? How do you keep up with the JavaScript world?

Is it really just changing the UI a little? Or centring a div, changing colors etc.  What do Front End Engineers actually do?

Frontend Engineer

Hi folks, I am a frontend engineer. A bit of background about me:

- Exp: 4 years
- Tech: Over the years, I have only worked on frontend and some build tooling. For all these years I have only used JS/TS and ReactJS to the point where I currently feel handicapped in other languages.

My problem with frontend:

Most companies I have worked till now except for one, frontend is just converting the UI designs to UI code as fast as possible. Most companies do not offer much time to think about different cases for a component and write it well. Its mostly, if it works then push. Contrast to this, BE does get proper design + arch to ensure it scales well with future requirements.

Why I am thinking of backend/fullstack roles?

Seems better from future point of view. Progression is clear in BE, lot more roles it seems, interview process is mostly standard. In FE its sometimes FE releated, some DSA etc. So never sure what they going to ask. Also, progression in FE is bit unclear and how to make a case for it.

What are my options?
1) In my current company, BE is Java + Springboot, I have started doing some BE tasks here and there but seems Java + Springboot is a mammoth and I dont know if I will be good enough for a switch of roles with this experience. Switching inside the company feels a far fetched dream since there are far less number of FE devs and I have to mostly work on FE tasks one after the other because of scarcity.

2) Learn and do some side projects in Node.js since already familiar with JS and also had done some small APIs(freecodecamp) based on nodejs in the past.

3) Learn python, good for backend software dev + good for ml also going forward. Seems easier than Java to get started with django.

Primary confusion between  2 & 3 is, does side project make any difference when switching for roles or will actual job experience with option 1 be of more value even though it will take a long long time? 

Please suggest if someone has switched roles before.

Thanks.

Moving from Frontend to Backend/Fullstack roles?

Saw a comment somewhere here to not do full stack development but only focus on one area and upskill in that. I assume they meant focus on frontend or backend only.

I’ve always thought full stack is more desirable than being only focused in one area. 

Curious to hear what other people think

Thoughts on full stack dev?

Hey everyone, I am a Junior FE Dev (from my prev work title coz my exp is 1YoE). Have been working extensively on React.JS and Redux. My previous company was great. I was loving it. Sadly a few months ago, I was laid off. I still don't know the reason behind why I was one of the laid off people. Anyway, I moved on from that depression and started searching for a new job from last month. Made it to final rounds in pretty much every interview I sat for. But then got rejected in final round for crazy reasons including "we currently don't have funds to hire you". One of them even said they are on hiring freeze, literally in the final round 🥲. 

Haven't been able to get a job anywhere. I don't know if my skills aren't enough to be hired or is it something else. "What's hot in FE right now ? Like what skills can fetch me a job ?" - Started asking this myself as well as some of my good friends, but they say don't learn skills for getting job, learn it for yourself. Though it's true, I don't have much savings to support myself for atleast a month. So, I have to get into a job to keep myself from going bonkers under the financial crunch that I can clearly see ahead of myself if I stay unemployed in the next 20 days.

Yes, the tech market is in its winter season. I understand that, but I still see there are so many openings in the market for ppl with 1YoE like me and skillset that matches mine, yet I never hear back from them or just get rejected in final rounds 😕.

I'm absolutely clueless on what to do right now. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Finding it very hard to get a job 😶

Do you feel like your work as a frontend engineer is meaningful and impactful enough towards the product you are building?

I feel like in most companies BE work is treated as more important. Most of your performance bottlenecks and production issues would also be related to Backend and hence those who work on it get more visibility.

I feel as an FE all my work is being limited till the feature is being developed and after that you just move to the next one. Kinda feeling bad about it.

Frontend engineering meaningful?

Me - a full stack dev who finds both of them to be meaningless. Just like my life.
