Once you store the survey results, what happens next? If you just used typeform ( https://www.typeform.com/ ) (they have a really nice UX), what would you be missing?

What would be considered a significant attention? E.g. I had 20 votes and a few comments, is that a lot?

I was thinking about this one for a long time. Finally I got one (at least I think so): If you (like me) like to buy the bread in advance and freeze it for later use, make sure to slice it up first. Otherwise you have to unfreeze the whole

I see how working on a SaaS can be exhausting, I have experienced it myself multiple times. Even if the SaaS had no users yet, there was a pressure from the founders to get a lot features quickly etc. Although on the other hand, it depends

Go for a clicky mechanical keyboard (e.g. blue switches), now you can finally click all you want without distracting anybody (but yourself :D).

If the technology is something that could be useful to the company, then I would talk to the team & superiors and discuss with them whether we have time for that and how important it could be. In the case they agreed, and I gave them an

Web development can be done on many levels (e.g. just frontend or backend or styling/layout) with different technologies (libraries such as React, frameworks such as Angular, ...). So the first problem is to learn what to learn. When I

I believe there will always be place for coding, even for HTML/CSS. The more common problems that are recognised as "patterns" are going to be handled by the specialised tools (such as Webflow which you mentioned), but there

I can't give specific advice without knowing more about the idea, so I'll keep it general. I think pretty much whatever you do, if you do it long enough, at some point you are going to discover there is a competition. It is a vali

Thank you very much for your feedback PaulHoule! Feedback like this motivates us to keep going :)

Here's advice from another almost 30 years old engineer :). So I might not have more experience, but here is how I think about things, maybe it helps. I think the most important question is: What interests you? And I believe the answer

Thank you very much! That definitely sounds like the good use case. If you'd like to support us feel free to star our repo at https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp , that is currently the best way for us to show that o

You might want to take a look at Haskell (Template Haskell) or Lisp/Clojure macro system. I haven't used Lisp yet, but I am working in Haskell currently. Here is a presentation that illustrates code generation in Haskell well, alt

I imagine the best thing would be to just be honest? You obviously passed the interviews and thus are qualified enough. Maybe the coursework wasn't very engaging or a lot of "empty work" was required and you decided to focus

I feel the same problem! I've been writing web apps in various technologies (from backbone to react, php to Node) and always felt I had to reimplement the same common features (while using a lot of code + tests, ...). Thinking similarl

Once a "business" person contacted me under a pretence he was interested into an open-source devtool project I am working on. It turned out to be false, as he was only interested into hiring me for his new startup idea - for which

Sadly I have much more opposite stories - something seemed simple at the beginning but then it turned out to be a black hole :).

I never used but heard good things about https://expo.io/ . Apparently they are good enough for simple apps, but might be too limiting for more advanced stuff.

This is really cool stuff! I was wondering what cool technology is behind this demo, and then it turned out to be so elegant and simple :).

As others already mentioned, the best thing would be if it is possible to reuse the non-UI code (so logic & algorithms) and put it on a server behind an API. On the other hand, if the code is not written in the modular fashion and thing

Congrats on your will and enthusiasm, I believe this is already a great first step! Besides Martin Fowler which was already recommended, I would also recommend the books by Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob), and his "Clean" series - th

General answer: - are you solving a problem you feel? - are you solving a problem somebody else feels? In your specific case, I would talk to your potential users and see if they bring location part as a problem (but dont ask them directly

From what I tried, reddit and spectrum. On reddit there is a million communities of course, but a lot of tech/programming ones and they are pretty active too. Spectrum I tried and there are communities with a lot of members, but the ac

As some already explained in their answers, maybe the more important thins is what you are going to do and in what environment, rather than the title itself. In my mind 'junior developer' is not somebody who does QA only, but is c

Thank you very much for your feedback! That makes a lot of sense and is our current plan, making Wasp open-source and build the community around it. Could you tell us a bit more about how do you imagine the ecosystem could develop, what are

Interesting idea! Of course there are initiatives such as Google Summer of Code, but I haven't heard yet of a startup that has remote internships. Although it would make sense if the whole company is remote.

I believe it is still used in the elementary school (ages 8 -12), there are even competitions in it in Croatia. After Logo usually comes a language such as Pascal or Python - in my time, 15 years ago, it was Pascal but pretty soon my high s
