jardaroh | 7 years ago | on: What tech stack to use?

^ Also, With Vue you can very easily build a component library (buttons / forms / pages / etc) that can be re-used throughout your various platform versions of your application.

I normally do this by making a node module in a parent directory of the application projects like so:

parentDir/ node_modules/ @applicationLibrary components/ mixins/ services/ applicationProjects/ ios/ android/ electron/ web/ server/

jardaroh | 7 years ago | on: Self-taught developers, do you explicitly state 'self-taught' on your resume?

Personally I include the education section since I have an education despite that it is in a completely different field (technical construction). The reason being that it is showing commitment in those early years. I also include my mandatory military service as the first item under work experience even if I at this time leave out things between as an aggregate, as that implies a willingness to show deference to authority (something that is rarely talked about publicly but incredibly appreciated by management and by extension the readers of CVs).

Hope that helps.

Well, it makes perfect sense for the most biased kind of person to talk about bias. Of course someone that holds a completely biased point of view will see anything other than their own viewpoints as biased against them. This article and the talk it is an excerpt from is best described as laughable.

jardaroh | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: What’s wrong with my CV?

This varies widely on regional norms of how a CV should look, but here we always include work experience first and all fluff at the bottom.

If I were to look at your CV as a potential employer, my largest concern would be your short tenures at your jobs. If those jobs were short contracts you should take care to mention that.

yet another smear piece that is using a whole lot of wilful misdirection and misinformation.

Is Peterson perfect? Heck no, but he is nothing like the vice article describes him.

jardaroh | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's the simplest way to build and maintain CRUD api?

I recommend using Django Rest Framework. Django gives you great admin forms for any and all data models and Django Rest Framework gives you a browseable API with in browser forms for your convenience. In addition it has a super effective structure for creating easy to maintain and reusable code.

jardaroh | 8 years ago | on: Damore's Logical Fallacy

Well this article is in of itself based on a logical fallacy, completely misrepresenting what Demure said about women in tech.

"Liberals are enraged because he argued that, somehow, women have biological differences that may on average make them less suited to careers in tech"

He said nothing about women being less suited, he said women hold different interests, in general. I may not be interested in everything I do, even though I am very good at some of it and just as suited to do it as somebody else.

jardaroh | 9 years ago | on: Reason why dating apps like tinder sucks?

Like every market, it is bound to reach saturation. That is, there are more supply, or in this case, services than there is demand. Not that there is a service for every user looking for love or a hookup, but services have to fight hard now to keep a sustainable user base.

Dating services are also, kind of, designed for failure. If a dating service is 100% effective, every user signing up would find someone, then stop using the service. Of course, we know that never happens, and that people leave each other again, but it also means that the user base of such services are fickle as the use of them are temporary and fleeting. This means a service has to have a really big user base to stay relevant. Users will flock to the service with the greatest promise of success.

Lastly, dating services have a terrible reputation these days. Too much fraud and games have been committed both by the services themselves or by it's users against other users through the use of the services. Trust in online services in general is at an all time low but even more so for dating services.

Hope that explains a few things?

jardaroh | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Learn another programming language

What I do is I look at either a new project I would like to do or an existing one I would like to refactor heavily. Every time I go over what the feature requirements will be and find a language, framework and libraries that will suit the project.

Sometimes I end up rewriting/refactoring from one language into another. This is great approach to learning a new language. However, consider that languages has different idioms, make sure you try to learn the best approaches in your selected language and refactor for those idioms. For example, it is generally a bad idea to write python like you would write C, etc.

If you do not have a project that would be interesting to refactor, take any other idea you have laying around do write that in your selected new language.

In the end, it is better to learn by doing.

jardaroh | 9 years ago | on: Recommendations for a CMS for self-hosted portfolio site?

May I recommend using Django CMS? In my opinion it is the best basic CMS, truly user friendly, free and open and builds upon Django web framework.

Templating is very simple, if you have looked at twig for php it should look very familiar.

Also, with the power of python and Django, your imagination really is the only limit to how you expand upon the site.

Best of luck!

jardaroh | 9 years ago | on: Useful programming language for a designer to learn?

This all depends on what engineers you need to hand your stuff over to and what type of software as well.

For anyone learning programming I would always suggest Python as the best starting language as it is expressive and easy to read. However, if you already deal a great deal with HTML/CSS then Javascript is the best fit. Check which tech stack the engineers are using.

For example, if they use Django, then pretty much all that would be needed to learn, most likely, is the Django framework's templating language. If they use Django REST Framework and an angular frontend, then Angular would be the best to learn (javascript).

Good luck!

jardaroh | 10 years ago | on: Git Whore – Find the ones doing less everyday ..do not trust the blabber

apparently it is a bad thing if you read the description.

"do not bring it up in front of your team or they might end up committing meaningless stuff just to avoid being whore ;)"

I think this project is a stupid idea, if nothing else it will incur the wrath of the SJW and his reputation might be forever marred whatever the intent behind the project might be.
