#web technologies for developers

[prokopetz]

I think the real reason most websites are janky as hell to use these days is because web developers have become so specialised that nobody really understands how anything works anymore. The other day I had to explain why hosting critical Javascript libraries on a third-party CDN is a bad idea to a "lead developer" who genuinely didn't know the difference between server-side versus client-side scripting.

Pushed myself to go outside and do something different today, so I ran some errands and visited a new bookshop (didn't buy anything, and it was alright, too commercial/trendy for my taste idk). Read the whole bus ride, and I'm loving this book 🌻

Otherwise I've been working on my app, I updated my CV and linkedin, I've watched all available episodes of severance (so many unanswered questions I love it), and mostly I've been resting <3

+ some feelings of inadequacy and loneliness, but ah well, it's expected when I have more time to think.

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT)?

i need more mutuals who are into coding and engineering!! more info under the cut!!

I planned to become an electrical engineer like my stepdad but then I decided to change my path to programming. I'm currently studying at technikum (<- wikipedia link so I don't have to explain the whole polish learning system), programmer major.

this year I have exams from web development (10th Jan - theory, 16th Jan - practical exams) and next year I have exams from App development (both mobile and desktop).

I know C family languages, Java, Python and those ones I am currently using. I also know a bit of Kotlin and I think I will continue learning it.

For web dev I know HTML and CSS ofc but also PHP and JS.

Planning on learning more languages I can use for App and operating system development as well as just to know them cause I want to after this year's exams!

my learning list:

Lua (I heard it's easy but I can't really get myself to read anything about this atm idk why)

Ruby

Assembly

Rust

As for electrical engineering I don't know much tbh but I would like to learn! I just used CAD programs for technical drawings (dad taught me some basic things when I was still thinking about going his path) helped my dad fix things on his Solar farm, houses of our neighbors and I made a few very simple circuits for fun a few years ago. Now I'm mostly focused on programming but since I learned most of the things I need for exams I have more time to do whatever I want now!

I'd like to get to know more people so I can share and mostly learn new things since even though I'm coding for years I consider myself a beginner and I am a total beginner when it comes to electrical engineering.

I'm willing to be friends or at least mutuals with anyone who codes or makes websites or is in STEM! no matter what your specialty/interest is exactly and no matter if you are a total beginner or a professional ^__^

I'd also like to have some mutuals who are into old web development and retro computing!!!!!!!!

edit: I forgot but I'm also interested in physics and quantum physics

What is an Algorithm in 30 Seconds?

An algorithm is simply a series of instructions.

Think of a recipe: boil water, add pasta, wait, drain, eat. These are steps to follow.

In computer terms, an algorithm is a set of instructions for a computer to execute.

In machine learning, these instructions enable computers to learn from data, making machine learning algorithms unique and powerful.

It's been a bit but a lot has happened recently. I passed the Network+ certification about two weeks ago. Since then, I've picked up my web development class again aiming to finish before I start a new job in a couple of weeks. I rediscovered? a cute coffee shop near my house to study at and I spent about two hours there today. The coffee was a 7/10. I nearly finished the 5th chapter of my online textbook. I'm ready to be done with this class.
