@don-rager apparently "specs" come from the UI team and design ideas come from the UX team?

Hate to be that guy that always suggests alternate technologies.... But parceljs is incredible, never had any issues with it, has zero configuration, and is blazing fast

@achu this is true, advisors moonlight as software engineers all the time

@cursee https://web-design-weekly.com/

I really like the web design weekly emails. They are once a week, concise, and consist of helpful non bloated links to cool stuff.

Other than that, hacker news is pretty cool

@lamka02sk yea, have yet to encounter something that I need which it can't do... But I could see how the lack of configuration could be a problem for some

@Archeelux yea, the only reason I brought it up was I used to struggle a lot with webpack, but then parcel solved all of my issues. Totally suggest trying both out and choosing for yourself!

I hate to be "that guy" and I don't want to start a technology option feud. But I find parcel to be a pretty awesome alternative to webpack, especially if you find the configuration daunting. It's extremely fast, and has everything I need built in

@erandria the free private repos, CI (actions), and the newly announced package hosting

@jensrott Ha, yea. I'm graduating in a few days, and haven't really be happy with what was learned my past 4 years...

It's my opinion that college is just to tell employers that you have the ability to learn new things. Then they teach you the majority of what you need to know onsite. At least that's how it has worked in my experience

@jensrott I would spend time just learning about javascript and hot it interacts with HTML. Frameworks can do some cool stuff, but are often overkill. VanillaJS can easily make a to-do list

@jensrott what is your background in software? Where are you coming from?

I wouldn't suggest googling "how to make a to-do app with JavaScript." The to-do list the hello world of JavaScript frameworks and therefore there are thousands of them.

I can't tell if this is a genuine question, or a joke... Please enlighten me

@bkwilliams ah good point.

A text editor is a more light weight program, it's usually just designed for editing text.

Whereas IDEs are more full featured and contain a bunch of helpful debugging and refractoring features

(Then there is vscode, which is a weird hybrid of the two)

Well, first of all, they are called text editors or IDEs. There are a bunch of them, vim, emacs, sublime text, brackets, etc are a bunch of text editors, and then visual studio, eclipse, net beans, and intelij are some IDEs.

Also, welcome to devrant!

Also a network scanner widget that shows who is on your network and who is taking all the bandwidth

Also webcams, you could setup some lightweight pi zero webcam stations and stream to your dashboard when events happen. You could even use opencv and face detection to notify when specific people are in view

Bank transaction history / account status is kind of cool and also helpful if you like to keep an eye on your finances. Plaid offers a pretty easy to use free API for that if you are interested

I don't know of any specifically for angular, but I have used sentry for some of my side projects and it works quite well

Ask questions... So many questions. The more domain knowledge you know the more valuable intern you are

At work, one of our legacy projects takes around 1 hour to run CI. I find it slightly infuriating having to wait that long to see if it passed... But, I'm glad you enjoy it!

Hahaha... As a colleague just pointed out... Daylight savings is a thing here

@kadrudev you know? I have never actually tried it. I kind of feel obligated to now

I order my coffee through revel (https://revelcoffee.com). Depending on where you live it can be pricy to pay for the shipping, but I promise its worth it. Best coffee I have ever had.

@AurthurM instead of trying to fix problems you don't have yet, I would suggest just starting a project and then finding/learning when problems arise.

That being said... React or Vue kind of seem to be the main frontend tech that people use and would suggest

@AurthurM Well each front end technology has it's strengths and weaknesses. Being that we have no idea what you are building, we can't really suggest anything for you

I feel like more context than a "professional website" is required here

The regular apple brand keyboards are quite nice and seem to meet your specifications

But then why is the logo a snake?
