I lurk here a lot and don't post, hardly ever but I saw thread was gonna die so I decided to repost it the best to my ability by just copypasting the OP. Idunno how yall run this place desu.

Why do people not like JQuery? Is it because it's not the new cool kid on the block or is there a legitimate reason. I'm using it without much problem. I'm just curious why the general mindset is "eww jquery.. you should use X"
Elijah Russell
dude jCurry is for pajeets who have no logic
Thomas Sanders
day of the rope soon you commie whore

>go to work >dev for 8 hours >come home >dev until I cant even type anymore and have 6 hours of sleep left.
Who else living the dream?
Grayson Johnson
JQuery does nothing but DOM manipulation. Which is actually a very small thing compared to a whole modern webapp. Are people comparing it to things like Angular and React?
Camden Ward
Not only is this totally irrelevant to the subject, but I'll have you know I am not a commie nor do I identify as a promiscuous individual.
Kayden Fisher
>go to work >dev for 8 hours >come home >watch alt-right videos on youtube until i fall asleep
Parker Carter
do you guys cut your fingernails regularly? i cant stand the feeling and sound of my nails hitting my keys
Robert Phillips
Same but it's >dev until I can't see anymore and have 6 hours of anxiety filled sleep left
I hate xmpp. Fuuuuuuck that protocol so hard. So obtuse and over engineered

sorry
Jonathan Flores
naw its cool i just thought it was funny
Andrew Edwards
Hey, already posted on a few threads before i found my way here. making a website. trying to make a jacascript slideshow. on the start of the webpage the slideshow isn't active and all the images are shown down the page until the next image button is pressed. how can i make it so that only the first image in the slideshow will appear on page startup?
Andrew Baker
lol you did alright, that's a dumb joke somebody put in there once and nobody ever bothered to correct. Like the stupid i's, only this time somebody actually did fix that. Would have been funny if we just kept on rolling with the retarded i's from then on just cause we were all too lazy to fix it
Jordan Wright
it's ok user, I like you
Charles Harris
I am new here and do not want to sound cocky or something but I did notice the OP at one point contained some difficult to discern characters BUT I EVENTUALLY GOT THEM. Links were full of "í" if i can remember correctly.
Alexander Robinson
exactly, it was a stupid joke, but it wasn't impossible to figure out what was going on.
Dylan Cox
Aspiring web dev. here. A lot of companys want to see a full project before they hire.
Anyone got suggestions for a good portfolio project???
Joseph Campbell
stock managing app. You can buy & sell stock, manage your portfolio, get live price fluctuations, even graph it all nice and pretty if you want. User login, etc.
Elijah Cox
Unnecessary bloat.
Tyler Jones
What is the absolutely FASTEST way to determine the CSS selector of a website element?

I agree with JQuery is fine if all you need are DOM manipulations.
But once you use React or some complete framework to handle the DOM manipulations for you there is no longer a need for it.
Easton Thomas
A lot less necessary thanks to browsers improved javascript support. Popularity of frameworks that abstract away from DOM. And frankly because a lot of people follow stupid hipster trends and jquery is not cool anymore.
Gabriel Lewis
I worked on an AngularJS project where they had to pull response data from an iframe making Ajax calls. Had to end up using jQuery to do it. Shit was clunky as hell, but it worked
Evan Phillips
react is god tier as usual tbqh
Noah Johnson
The main issue with JQuery is it's used to teach javascript and people leaving bootcamps end up being useless without it. Learn it to know it, but don't depend on it.
Ryan Hill
how the fuck do i stop being "green" as a backend developer?
i just dont know anons someone help me out
Grayson Collins
Seeing this thread on the first page must be a sign.
So I'm going to attend a 6 month long web development seminar sponsored by my company, and I will need a laptop.
The (company) laptop I have is a 6th gen dual core Intel with 4gb of ram and no SSD, but I'm actually not sure if that's passable for web development or not.
What specs should I prioritize if I'm going to have to look for a new laptop? I probably won't be using it for anything else, so the cheaper the better.

i like a lot of it so far i feel like you could increase the font of the category links above the articles a little more the bottom menu could be horizontal instead of vertical too but i like it, very easy to read and nothing is too distracting like some other vg sites ive been too
Wyatt Richardson
>The (company) laptop I have is a 6th gen dual core Intel with 4gb of ram and no SSD, but I'm actually not sure if that's passable for web development or not. nigz, web development isn't creating vidya gaymz while processing 4k video even a fucking smartphone these days is more than capable (granted, the programs aren't available on them so don't take that quip super seriously)
looks like a free wordpress theme so grats?
Juan Collins
Anyone have any experience parsing and generating XML in Perl? I have to work with a few old school SOAP APIs and half of me just wants to throw requests together using a template engine and handle data from the responses with a DOM traverser module. Anyone know what I "should" be doing in an enlightened/modern Perl sense?
Jason Nguyen
Is there a difference between
p.class and .class p?
Ayden Davis
Anything with more than 2GB of RAM will suffice. I'm working from a netbook with exactly 2GB of RAM right now and my only bottleneck is my internet connection. I'm tethering to my phone in the middle of nowhere and I'm happy to get 20KB/s downstream
Jacob Johnson
Yes. They are two completely different things. The first means a p with said class attribute and the second means a p nested anywhere in an element with said class
Jeremiah Sanchez
Oh. How didn't I see that, feel dumb now. Thank you for clarifying
Wyatt Mitchell
Anyone? I can't afford to download, build, and test a bunch of cpan modules. I'm tethering to my phone at my grandma's house in the middle of nowhere and can't even post to Sup Forums reliably
Benjamin Butler
Anyone know of any decent Javascript markdown editors? I need to put together a simple document editing page for a project I'm working on and I figure something point and click that generates markdown is the simplest way to go. I figure markdown is easier to support than bbcode when it comes to live previews and parsing/converting to HTML tags on the backend, and definitely safer than sanitizing user provided HTML, so now its just a matter of finding the right implementation (or building something from scratch if I really have to)
Ayden Bell
how do i get rid of this space on the left? width 100% isnt working
Dylan Johnson

Wyatt Cooper
Im getting glasses for comp today, hopefully rheyll stop mt eyes from bitching n I can be plugged in for all nighters
Joshua Williams
thank you based
Benjamin Allen
Np. If you ever cannot find out which element is the problem, use the CSS thingy in the dev tools of your browser. Anything Chromium based has them. I think anything Gecko based has Firebug
Joshua Cox
my prescription to you is these things: * turn down your monitor's backlight/brightness as much as comfortably possible * never use it in a dark room, at least have a light behind it (all parts of your field of vision should be about equally bright) * avoid using dark themes
Andrew Gutierrez
I'm trying to select the "datetime" field, not everything else around it. Sorry for being dumbz, but how do I do that? Is datetime an attribute, a type? It's not a type, but wtf is it?
Hudson Young
How do I setup a backend alongside create-react-app?
Ultimately what I want to do is create a single page web application. I've used create-react-app to generate the React project (it's the "official" way of doing so) and react-router to handle the routing. But how do I wire up some backend logic, e.g. if I want to save some forms to a database? I used to use Express to do that, but create-react-app launches its own server to serve the app, and apparently there's no way to configure it: i.e. it just serves the front end and that's it. What am I missing?
Ethan Campbell
datetime is an attribute of the time element. the left side of your image shows you having selected a parent element, not the time element.
Jackson Watson
Hey guys, I had good skills in web dev a few months ago but haven't done anything in 3 months. My skills have disappeared and I'm rusty.
I am good at HTML & CSS still, but my JS is bad. How to get quickly back up to speed?
Hunter Carter
Should I use Google amp?
Joshua Phillips
how do you lose programming skills in 3 months? and i guess just making something or do muh code cademy tutorials
Xavier Brown
I guess I haven't lost them, but I was a junior to begin with so skills disappear quicker. I just feel really rusty and like I just started.
Angel Russell
Is front-end web dev just copying someone else's work from GH or CP and calling it a day?
Leo Garcia
no, it's using snippets.
Bentley Lewis
Does anyone have any experience with apache and nginx? I have a .htaccess file that I need to use, but I don't know how to convert it for nginx.
Cooper Price
What mental gymnastics do you do while coding to keep your mental state fresh? I change location, do some quick exercise, chew nicotine gum, etc. Honestly some of my best problem solving comes the next morning after pouring over a problem for hours the night before
John Reyes
Use soap library?
William Hall
Has anyone here applied for a web dev job abroad and successfully moved out?
I've had one junior dev job and want to get out of my country (UK), I'll go anywhere, really. I only have about £2k saved up though.
Juan White
Isn't it funny, I'd like to emigrate to your country.
Michael Johnson
It's possible, lots of visa sponsorships here for devs.
Ayden Morales
lift heavy weights, get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water
i cant program without these things i go insane
Noah Young
I'm EU, so don't even need visa sponsorship. But I heard because of Brexit it might be harder these days. Companies not so willing to hire foreigners. Any truth to that? Also, how much $$ you making as a junior web dev?
Michael Gonzalez
>teehee I'm a grill Fuck off
Christopher Flores
Yeah there might be some truth to that, it'll become harder to stay here as a foreigner when Brexit happens.
I make £20k / year but I'm a complete beginner.
Nathan Taylor
which city? Not London, right? 20k for London is peanuts, barely surviving...
Jeremiah Garcia
Firefox has something built in now. But yeah learn some basic debugging techniques.
Luke Sullivan
Is web development a fulfilling career I can work from home or should I ask /dpt/?
Caleb Peterson
>fulfilling yeah, that depends hugely on your what you're looking for. Some love it, some hate it. But then again, everybody hates their job, so it's kinda hard to say.
But you can definitely do it from home, if you freelance or find the right company. I'd say webdev is the field that offers work-from-home the most.
Xavier Watson
It's not fulfilling. You'll ruin your eyesight and your back posture for pennies coming from people you wish you had never met. Also, you can say goodbye to your life because keeping up with web technology is a sadomasochist's wet dream (that never ends). And before you know it, AI will replace you if some other younger kid hasn't done it already. Run away.
Michael Walker
What would be essential web dev skills? Javascript comes to mind, but what else?
Is FreeCodeCamp really a good place to start? I need money asap and i was wondering if web dev is the right choice. Is this website worth the effort? Will i receive job offers after finishing it?
Ive been thinking about drug dealing and shit like that, just so yall know how desperate i am to earn some money. Please dont judge me tho.
Jace Wood
can't be bothered to look into create-react-app but by default it will probably run as dev server there should be some command like `npm build` to webpack static files into a /dist dir just read the docs dude
Daniel Jones
The application that was passed to me uses symfony framework, but when I set the whole thing up(mysql server, php7 w/ intl, opcache, openssl and pdo_mysql and nginx), it redirects me to /login which was not included, it gives me a 404, what should I do? Which files should I configure to make it work properly?
Jack Parker
Central London yeah. I live with my parents so it's fine for now. The company is shit though, I fucking hate them.
Nathaniel Hernandez
what do you recommend then?
Parker Bennett
What are the best books or websites to get into javascript?
