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 Then there are frameworks which gets outdated every other year and wouldn't back support.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.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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?

Startup struggle : exponential downward learning curve

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?

Frontend framework history in a nutshell

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!

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Where do I get started? And I really want to learn to code to execute my designs.

Need your suggestions on where do I get started? What do I learn and any hands on tutorials that I can follow?

I am a designer and want to learn front end development

Product Designer

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.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I have about 3 years of experience in DevOps. I want to know how easy it is to switch to a dev role? 
My main concern being the culture of devops work and the pay gap. Devops roles don't pay as much. 
Any advices? 
TIA

Switch from DevOps to Dev

DevOps Engineer

Hello everyone;

I need your help. I am a Computer Science student about to reach my final year in the coming two months. I heard that we will be having placements in July and the competition is fierce since there are thousands and thousands of students looking for job/internship.

Till date; I have done frontend development and I am good with HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. I know theoratical portion of JavaScript and jQuery but get stuck when told to implement logic in problem solving. [I also know React.js but very basic like routing, states and props, etc. since I was not able to give much time to it]

Addtionally; I also did a 3month internship in this domain and know how to get the work done but technical interview may become a problem. [I got this opportunity through referral]

I will be having my End Sem exams next week and it will go on for 10-12days. After that; I will be able to give full-time to learning and will have probably 1 or 1.5 month to upskill myself.

I am planning to do DSA and Full-Stack Development so can anyone guide me on how can I become capable to compete and outperform my peers?

It's just that I think I have wasted my 3 years of college and have fear that I won't be placed since I am lagging so much.

Need guidance

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?

Learning django for my startup, suggestions on tech stack to learn

Founder

Last September I was hired as an UI Engineer in a startup in Gujurat. This is my first job in tech. They said that you will get to work on client as well as in-house products. My first task was to fix their in-house product, so that they can re-launch it. Successfully did that. Then they started searching for client works. And till now (March) they have given 4 client jobs to work on, none of it was related to Frontend or UI. One was related to AI, another one was related to a Node Backend, and the current one is related to 3D technology. So what should I do now, it almost feels like a scam. Leaving a company in 4 months doesn't feel right but I can't see any learning or improvement here in my domain. And the worst part is this jobs are brought by my CTO fooling the client that the developer who is going to work on this had 10+ years of experience.

Is this a scam or this how the tech service industry works

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

Frontend = HTML/CSS says VP of Engineering!

Hi everyone, I am working as a ruby on rails backend engineer in a service based giant of India for past 3 years ..

Thinking of changing my role to a front-end developer (I know front-end as ruby on rails requires a good amount of front-end knowledge)

What are some things to keep in mind while changing roles, also for a 3 year experience, what salary should I expect in Bangalore/Gurgaon...?

Also, if you're a front-end developer, what tech do you most predominantly use in day to day coding & also please share your salaries...Thanks !

Changing role. From backend to frontend

Hey folks, after learning the basics of golang. How do I get into backend Development with Golang? I don't have the energy and time after my hectic and toxic work to do long video courses, unless it's very very good.

Can you please suggest a way that I can learn backend Development in a way that I can create my own product from end to end? And if you had to start the backend Development from scratch, How will you do it?

Current experience - 1.6yoe Frontend Engineering (React.js + Javascript)

Work life balance - Doesn't exist.

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Go Backend development for Frontend Engineer

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.

I am 20, a full stack developer. I have experience working with typescript, javascript, solidity, c ,React, Next. I have worked on 2-3 projects as a full stack developer.

 I want to work on new projects also I am not in a financially stable situation. So if any of you looking for interns, please let me know.

Please help me out, I would be grateful forever.
