Alright guys, I decided to take the plunge. I applied to a web dev program and start on June 5th https://www.codeplatoon.org/full-stack/course-curriculum/

So far I've been using freecodecamp, codewars and eloquent javascript to prep. I'm not super confident about the job market with these tech layoffs but it is what it is.

Hit me with some words of wisdom.

Thanks for the feedback back guys. I'm pretty stoked for the program, definitely looking forward to it. I don't have a website yet but one of the volunteers from CP said you could fix up your GitHub up to look like a polished profile page as well. I guess next on the docket is to search for some projects to do in my downtime. I'm currently slammed with pre work homework and stuff.

inheritance sucks

Inheritance, polymorphism, getters/setters, @method tags, fml.

Honestly, I'm probably just complaining since I'm right in the middle of a steep learning curve. I know they teach it since we'll probably run into it out in the wild. But I'd much rather be doing functional programming with js and all the regex/reduce/filter/map hack stuff. It is what it is :shepicide:

Guys, I just completed my web dev bootcamp. I feel empowered and accomplished but also completely drained, lol. I appreciate all the support from you guys. It's also been really interesting going back and rereading through this thread now that I understand a bunch of it.

I'm looking for a junior role now too, If you guys know of anything out there:

Guys I need some help. My project eCommerce website is almost complete but my github is messed up and I dont know how to fix it. My frontend branch is the one I've been pushing to but it says its 3 commits behind main, and 3 commits ahead of main. I don't understand why its like this. I just need the most recent frontend branch commit (added search bar functionality) to overwrite everything and become the main, if that makes sense.

Could one of you take a quick look at my repo and offer some guidance? I'm not 100% on what git commands I need to fix this and I dont want to mess up my progress.

Oh man, that was a doozy. I had chatgpt tutor me on commits and pull requests, then he helped me figure out how to fix all the merge conflicts and the whole process took about 3 hours. I learned a lot about git but I'm gonna try really hard to never have to do that again, I tell you what

Ok, I'm trying to host my website now and it looks like Heroku and Railway do not have free services anymore. Is there a good one that I can use instead? My project is react, django and postgres. Its meant to be a portfolio piece for my resume, I dont care about low bandwidth or scaling.

edit: I guess aws has a free tier so I might try that..

I just wanna say that deploying a simple page in 2002 was a lot easier than any of this. I guess it only had hyperlinks, though.

edit: it had a php forums too

Alright, I finally finished my site and I'm stoked to have it done and over with. Now I can move on to the next project:

I ended up going with fly.io as aws was a big hassle and wouldn't let me run my psql db 24/7 without charging me a big monthly fee.

I made a LinkedIn post talking about the tech and frameworks I used if any of you wanna check out out: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/activity:7157449699661160448

Thanks for checking it out guys. Yea, its best viewed on a laptop, not mobile optimized yet. I gotta figure out how to do a flex box for my header or something so the search box and button aren't stacked like that.

I know figma allows you to draw up stuff, then go into dev mode and translate it to code so that might be helpful.
