I definitely know how hard it is, I have 10 years of experience and I'm now staff eng and team lead at a 50B+ MC company.
I had my own startup, and built many projects first-hand, but I'm not going to de-anonymize myself for the sake of argument.
In my opinion, it should always be hard. OP had a good launch and delivered, which is something that's incredible and that only < 1% of devs do, especially by themselves. The design is terrible, but the idea and execution was great.
I also love the fact that he did this out of wanting to prove that he could do the work, and not taking the L from the rejection.

- ojr 5y agoThe design doesn't need to be great for an educational site. More frontend tasks can be done to change the css with a library like tailwind ui and it will look better, doing css from scratch is harder but cheaper than the $200 tailwind download. The hardest part of this application is done.
- rpmisms 5y agoI hope I never work on your team, the attitude you're displaying would me an instant no-go from me. Junior devs need encouragement, guidance, and positive feedback. You've managed to wrap semantically positive feedback in a negative mantle. Please leave this guy alone and allow him to continue kicking ass.
- aflag 5y agoHow much experience do you have with design, which was your criticism? More importantly, what objective characteristic of the design do you think is awful?
- andrew_ 5y agoSolid humblebrag there. There are legions of engineers perusing HN that have double+ your experience sans the narcissism.
- m00x 5y agoExperience doesn't equate to skill though? Tons of 20+ years devs can't even do what OP achieved here.
