Website is Live!

After several weeks of hard work learning html and css, I've finally finished putting together my new website! !

On it you can find information as to where to find me online, updates to my Invertebrate Tarot project, and commission information!

(Easily check out the full deck as each card updates)

I have also updated my Ko-Fi page. It hosts my commission listings, as well as the last of my stock from my previous BigCartel shop (though shipping is for now limited to the usa), so if you wanted to pick up any stickers or acrylic charms of my designs, this is the place to grab them. I also host my mini-artbooks as pay-what-you-want.

With any commission, I have decided to take 15% of comm payments and donate the funds in an effort to resist the violence of the current usa administration.

As I set up which group I'll focus those donations on (looking at the Trans Youth Emergency Project) , for now I will be donating those funds to a friend of mine who's wheelchair was broken by an airline.

Finally, I've donated several of my illustrations as wallpapers to a fundraiser organized by Franz:

This is a nature-themed wallpaper pack featuring dozens of artists donations. It is available to the end of February. As per the instructions on the post, donate to either Lambda Legal or Assigned Media and Franz will send you the download link to the wallpaper collection.

Would it be possible to implement more options for the dashboard? For example, adjusting font sizes and font faces manually on the user end, not just via the themes available by default. I find a lot of people use <small> html tags and the text is too small for me to read, but could easily be fixed if I could bump up the font size for that. On that note, would it be possible to implement more html tags for text posts, like super/subscript, code text (in-line, not for the whole paragraph element), more colors and headings, etc.?

Thank you!

Answer: Hi, @acidcorrodes!

It’s a good question, but it is unlikely that we will be adding these kind of appearance options to the dashboard. That said, we will more than happily point you to some available third-party browser extensions to do the trick instead! For adjusting the font face and font size, for example, you might want to try out Palettes for Tumblr—or, if you’re comfortable writing your own CSS, maybe Stylus would give you the font freedom you’re yearning for.

On that note, would it be possible to implement more html tags for text posts, like super/subscript, code text (in-line, not for the whole paragraph element), more colors and headings, etc.?

It is a fact that there are several of us among Tumblr Staff who would love to see this as much as you. Sadly, this is the kind of thing that would take a full project team to properly implement across our web, Android, and iOS clients—and there are much more pressing issues for our development teams to address at the moment.

We hope this was enlightening! Please do keep the questions coming.

[once-upon-a-time-the-end]

After having a tension headache for about 5 days and having a self-pity party re: the unfairness of it all, I am now stuck on one particular bit from my work reprimand wherein my supervisor said that I completed a task unexpectedly after saying it couldn't be done was evidence of my 'pattern of bad behavior'

to clarify, this was regarding having to write some custom code into our email. I did not say it couldn't be done but that it was a pain in the ass bc shopify email can be hostile to anyone trying to write overriding CSS. The alternative was to try and write a complete custom block of code, which I said I wasn't sure would work bc so many reasons, one of which is that email client support for html and css is spotty and unreliable and shopify email isn't always the best at showing what it's actually doing.

In any case, me trying to explain this obviously went in one ear and out the other. What was taken away was that I was being "difficult" about a problem. Supervisor then half-laughed, mockingly, as she read that the next day I had done the task. Must've been so easy, right?? Why did I have to be such a bitch about it??? Right???

What my supervisor did not know was that I dropped all my other tasks to try and fix this problem. I felt that it was really important to the team and despite it being a pain in the ass and the fact that I wasn't even sure I could get something to work (I am an amateur at writing HTML/CSS which everyone fucking knows), I managed to finally get all the CSS flow properties and media queries to actually work correctly. This was 8 hours of tinkering, rewriting, running to the limit of how many test emails I could send myself, inspecting the hell out of the element, and spending a good long time searching w3 school pages to find answers. As a part-timer, that was more than 1/3 of my work week spent on something I wasn't even sure would pan out.

And my supervisor laughed at me. Like I was just being a ridiculous bitch who "can't take feedback or suggestions". Like what the actual fuck. These "experts" want make all these changes and suggestions without knowing a single fucking thing about how anything actually functions, and when I point out issues, I am the one who cannot take feedback.

Funny how my supervisor's evidence was so selective and either misunderstood or outright misrepresented the situation. I mean, god forbid anyone point out all the times I went out of my way to make changes and not just accepted but WELCOMED feedback/suggestions about something. Funny how we don't seem to remember any of those times!!!111!!!

[izicodes]

Hi Loa! You said you started off with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and you post a lot about your website projects. So I wanted to ask if you have any advice for the process of designing a website and making various graphics. I enjoy coding a whole lot, but I've avoided front-end stuff until now because looking into design and tools for it made me feel a little overwhelmed. What would you do if you were to start learning anew web design for your coding job and hobby projects? Thank you a lot :)

Hiya! 💗

I'd be happy to share some advice on designing a website and creating graphics. It's great that you enjoy coding and want to explore front-end development and design, and don't worry, though I love frontend stuff a lot, I still find some things overwhelming e.g. I'm currently learning Django which I have put off from learning because it looked "hard" but now I love learning it. Just give yourself a little push and you'll enjoy it! 😉🙌🏾

Web Design Inspiration

Two key places I get inspiration for my website designs are Pinterest and Behance!

For instance, when I was, and still am, researching Old Web GUI designs, I made a Pinterest board of images relating to what I wanted to design and I used that as a reference when building the design in HTML and CSS. So, I would look at the picture and think "Okay in terms of HTML elements and CSS styling, how can I replicate this? 😉👍🏾". You can check out these boards: board 1 | board 2

Pinterest is the main inspiration place, and Behance is for more in-depth web design components. What I mean is if I need inspiration for a navbar design or a certain card design, I would use Behance.

Now I don't particularly do this, which is bad, but I do recommend making a wireframe for your web designs. I talked about wireframes in a previous post, but to sum it up; wireframes are good because they allow you to stick to your design plans and not go off on a tangent. These are especially good when working in a team at work, for example.

The reason why I don't particularly do them as often as I should is because I see things in my head vividly enough that I won't forget where everything should be - no super power but that's the main reason I don't make wireframes. As well, I change ideas halfway through so there's no real need for me to keep making wireframes if I will change the design 2 minutes later! 😭💔

But that's just me, but you should totally start designing wireframes. Practising drawing up some wireframes will definitely help with being creative in your designs. Take everything around you as an inspiration. The way I think of it is to think like an artist who is capable of painting anything - all you have to do is look around and paint. You can do the same with web development - everything is an inspiration. I saw a person make a whole webpage with amazing graphics... just about water. You can do the same.

If you need help on that part, definitely look into graphic design. I took extra classes in Graphics (which was just graphic design) when in school which involved looking at graphic artists and studying their work, then replicating something with our own twist. You can do the same with web design - study websites online, some you like or random ones. Look at a piece of the website and try and replicate it. That's why I like projects which are like "make a Google clone" or "make a Netflix clone" because it gives you the chance to study other people's codes and you can keep that knowledge for any future projects!

And lastly, study web design principles. There are some principles that good websites all put into their design that make the user's experience good. Read this article about it and this should even give hints to how you could design your next website! Learn about fundamental design principles such as colour theory, typography, layout, and composition. Understanding these principles will help you create aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly designs.

Web Design Tools I Use

Now, what do I use every time I start a new "project", what online tools do I use? I literally have these on my browser's bookmarks, ready to go!

Pinterest (inspiration) - LINK

Behance (inspiration) - LINK

Coolors (colour palette generator) - LINK

CSS Gradient Generator (because I'm lazy) - LINK

Google Fonts (main source for fonts) - LINK

Font Palace (fonts I want but not on Google Fonts) - LINK

Font Awesome (for the little icons) - LINK

Image Colour Picker (if I have an image and I want to pick the colour from it) - LINK

Optional tools:

Bootstrap 4/5 (sometimes I use this for personal projects, definitely use it at work) - LINK

Pattern.css (creates a patterned background for you, again I'm lazy) - LINK

Storyset on Freepik (people graphic images) - LINK

Pexels (stock background and even fake product images) - LINK

Unsplash (same as Pexel) - LINK

LottieFiles (set animations) - LINK

TinyPNG (makes image sizes smaller so less space) - LINK

CSSmatic (4 cool CSS generators) - LINK

That's all I have to say, if I didn't help with your question, message me to help you further but I do hope this helps you!! Good luck! 🥰🙌🏾💗

Which is better full stack development or testing?

Full Stack Development vs Software Testing: Which Career Path is Right for You?

In today’s rapidly evolving IT industry, choosing the right career path can be challenging. Two popular options are Full Stack Development and Software Testing. Both of these fields offer unique opportunities and cater to different skill sets, making it essential to assess which one aligns better with your interests, goals, and long-term career aspirations.

At FirstBit Solutions, we take pride in offering a premium quality of teaching, with expert-led courses designed to provide real-world skills. Our goal is to help you know, no matter which path you choose. Whether you’re interested in development or testing, our 100% unlimited placement call guarantee ensures ample job opportunities. In this answer, we’ll explore both career paths to help you make an informed decision.

Understanding Full Stack Development

What is Full Stack Development?

Full Stack Development involves working on both the front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) of web applications. Full stack developers handle everything from designing the user interface (UI) to managing databases and server logic. They are versatile professionals who can oversee a project from start to finish.

Key Skills Required for Full Stack Development

To become a full stack developer, you need a diverse set of skills, including:

Front-End Technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are the fundamental building blocks of web development. Additionally, proficiency in front-end frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js is crucial for creating dynamic and responsive web interfaces.

Back-End Technologies: Understanding back-end programming languages like Node.js, Python, Ruby, Java, or PHP is essential for server-side development. Additionally, knowledge of frameworks like Express.js, Django, or Spring can help streamline development processes.

Databases: Full stack developers must know how to work with both SQL (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB) databases.

Version Control and Collaboration: Proficiency in tools like Git, GitHub, and agile methodologies is important for working in a collaborative environment.

Job Opportunities in Full Stack Development

Full stack developers are in high demand due to their versatility. Companies often prefer professionals who can handle both front-end and back-end tasks, making them valuable assets in any development team. Full stack developers can work in:

Web Development

Mobile App Development

Enterprise Solutions

Startup Ecosystems

The flexibility to work on multiple layers of development opens doors to various career opportunities. Moreover, the continuous rise of startups and digital transformation initiatives has further fueled the demand for full stack developers.

Benefits of Choosing Full Stack Development

High Demand: The need for full stack developers is constantly increasing across industries, making it a lucrative career choice.

Versatility: You can switch between front-end and back-end tasks, giving you a holistic understanding of how applications work.

Creativity: If you enjoy creating visually appealing interfaces while also solving complex back-end problems, full stack development allows you to engage both creative and logical thinking.

Salary: Full stack developers typically enjoy competitive salaries due to their wide skill set and ability to handle various tasks.

Understanding Software Testing

What is Software Testing?

Software Testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software product or application is free of defects, meets specified requirements, and functions as expected. Testers ensure the quality and reliability of software by conducting both manual and automated tests.

Key Skills Required for Software Testing

To succeed in software testing, you need to develop the following skills:

Manual Testing: Knowledge of testing techniques, understanding different testing types (unit, integration, system, UAT, etc.), and the ability to write test cases are fundamental for manual testing.

Automated Testing: Proficiency in tools like Selenium, JUnit, TestNG, or Cucumber is essential for automating repetitive test scenarios and improving efficiency.

Attention to Detail: Testers must have a keen eye for identifying potential issues, bugs, and vulnerabilities in software systems.

Scripting Knowledge: Basic programming skills in languages like Java, Python, or JavaScript are necessary to write and maintain test scripts for automated testing.

Job Opportunities in Software Testing

As the demand for high-quality software increases, so does the need for skilled software testers. Companies are investing heavily in testing to ensure that their products perform optimally in the competitive market. Software testers can work in:

Manual Testing

Automated Testing

Quality Assurance (QA) Engineering

Test Automation Development

With the rise of Agile and DevOps methodologies, the role of testers has become even more critical. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines rely on automated testing to deliver reliable software faster.

Benefits of Choosing Software Testing

Job Security: With software quality being paramount, skilled testers are in high demand, and the need for testing professionals will only continue to grow.

Quality Assurance: If you have a knack for perfection and enjoy ensuring that software works flawlessly, testing could be a satisfying career.

Automated Testing Growth: The shift toward automation opens up new opportunities for testers to specialize in test automation tools and frameworks, which are essential for faster releases.

Flexibility: Testing provides opportunities to work across different domains and industries, as almost every software product requires thorough testing.

Full Stack Development vs Software Testing: A Comparative Analysis

Let’s break down the major factors that could influence your decision:

Factors

Full Stack Development

Software Testing

Skills

Proficiency in front-end and back-end technologies, databases

Manual and automated testing, attention to detail, scripting

cohost added audio posts! none of these automatically link to spotify if they detect a song. here's my cohost link- just a reminder that i like posting on there too :]

my lovely new pinned post <3 the HTML and inline CSS formatting on cohost is probably one of my favorite features! not quite sure how to work beyond basic HTML so far but i have an incentive to learn now >:]

I made an UnVale account. It's not what I expected

UnVale is relatively new, and they sure are having a huge campaing to promote themselves recently, at least on youtube. A lot of the artist I follow there have been promoting them.

It's basically like Toyhouse or other sites to upload your characters, and it's advertised as such. But better and easier! (I'll get back to this later). It is completely free to use, and the only charges they say they will make will be on transactions made on the platform.

Creating an account is pretty easy, they just ask for usename, email and password. But oh boy, did that password give me trouble. Kept saying it needed a "special character". It took me a while to find out what was going on, because I did have special characters in there. Turns out that it doesn't consider dashes as special characters. Don't know why, it's just weird.

How is UnVale different from other character websites? UnVale is the best OC site if you're looking for a simple, easy-to-use platform. We think other sites already do a great job at in-depth customization of character profiles, so that's not what we're going after. We want you to be able to focus on creating OCs, not figuring out HTML and CSS.

Oh, it's sure is simple to use. It's really straightforward to learn, no need to figure out anything, everything is on a button in front of you. Which I agree, it's nice not to have to do a dark ritual to find where or how stuff is or works. But it also means there is absolutely no customization. There are designated places where you can add images to make it look more like you, and you can change the background color for the characters' pages. And that is all. You can't change the general color theme, nor do fancy stuff on your characters pages like adding links.

Everything is completely public. There are absolutely no privacy settings. Everyone, wether they are logged in or not, can see every user profile, every character, every world and every image.

This is everything there is on the account settings:

Absolutely nothing about privacy settings. None. Nothing. Nada. Characters, images nor worlds can be hidden, only fully deleted. Likes or favorites and comments also can't be hidden or dissabled.

How will UnVale help to protect my OCs? We take reports of art theft very seriously, and any accounts caught stealing OC art will be closed. If you suspect someone is using stolen art on their profile, please submit a Support Ticket. Outside of this, our team is brainstorming ways to keep OCs protected and is open to community feedback or suggestions.

This doesn't reassure me at all. What do you mean the only measure against theft is closing accounts? That doesn't block their access from your art and characters.

The shop, transfers, and overall marketing yourself are really highlighted. That combined with that everything has to be public makes me belive that it's not a character library for yourself and friends, but a marketplace to display your characters adopts and commissions and get bussiness and connections. Nothing wrong with that, by the way. It just wasn't what I was expecting from what I had seen and heard. There are probably a lot of people who will find it really helpful and useful. But it's not for me.

I won't be using it for now. Maybe is the future I change my mind, or they change or add features for privacy, but I don't see any reason to use it right now. It has tons of stuff I don't want, and almost none that I like or want.

He/him with 20+ years of experience in creative writing in search of gently paced but reliable advanced literate to novella writing partners! My writing samples require an account to access, but a (very outdated) public sample from ten years ago can be found here to give you a rough idea.

I am broadly searching for platonic spies and detectives in the vampire Vatican in an original worldbuilding group, which lore is extensive and compared by some to Vampire the Masquerade whilst following factual history. I've a (happily married) male character several years in development with 30+ paragraphs of biography available.

I do want to note that this is a group environment, but prose writing is conducted one on one and it's best thought of as a pool of busy professionals who pair up for collaborative writing depending on whose schedules align. I find collective worldbuilding to be far richer and dynamic, and we get to serve as accountability partners as well as being inspired by other characters inhabiting the same world when we are too busy to write.

I prefer to take time with my writing as opposed to rapid fire, with judicious use of poetic and oranamental prose. Suggested dynamics include:

✨ Spies in the vampiric government to team up on collaboratively generated missions *Especially wanted by the group* ✨ Priests and/or exorcists (human and vampire) as well as magic users in a monastic order ✨ Pen friends for epistolic narratives ✨ Hannigram inspired progenies ✨ Mulder/Scully partnerships ✨ A male WWII progeny with details ✨ Elves for complex and nuanced ancient history with my reincarnating M *Especially wanted for a detailed concept* ✨ Open to ideas!

The setting is an immersive, magic realist worldbuilding group with handcrafted lore set in contemporary London. Our focus is on day to day statecraft and governance of vampires, werewolves and witches as they integrate seamlessly into a modern society that they helped engineer in secret. Will they set their commonalities and differences aside as a growing elven threat looms over humanity? Join our writers room events, solve mysteries, design missions and navigate international relations in a historically accurate world!

✨ 21+ ✨ Expansive evolving lore and historical accuracy ✨ Modern setting with historical flashbacks and flashforwards ✨ Novella writers with decades of experience ✨ Gently paced one on one prose writing with optional mystery solving, mission objectives and political intrigue between factions ✨ Character bio and real face claim required ✨ Outstanding data management and content flexibility via html/css including moodboards, playlists and visual support

Please DM if you are interested in writing together with me!

Hello, I've been thinking about code and selling code and sharing code in the rpc because someone posed the question to me of what I'd want to happen if someone was heavily editing a skin I sold, and to be honest, my first instinct was 'take my name off it'. That was met with some surprise, but let me explain why.

Code, to me, is a largely democratic landscape. If you want to learn, hundreds of thousands of people and websites have come together to teach you. Masses of people share open source work on codepen, stack overflow etc. Code as a skill is like assembling an especially abstract puzzle where you can only think about the pieces, not really see them. But most puzzles have similar strategies to solve- start with the corner pieces, then the edges, then the most recognizable patterns etc etc etc working your way down to the more and more difficult details. Most of code- most of my job writing code- involves minimizing the amount of time working on those shared strategies so we can have more time to work on the the interesting bits, the hard bits. the bits that make the site we're working on unique and useful. Frankly, jcink is the easy part of code, by and large. Your data is already structured and provided to you in a very particular way. It is inefficiently, but largely documented. Many other people have solved all the problems you are likely to have trying to build a skin. Skinning is html and css for the vast majority of items. It is the easy stuff. If I sell code, that code is now the property of the person I sold it to. It is not shareable or redistributable. You can't take my code and resell it as your own, but as far as I'm concerned you can do whatever you want with it. If I solved problems that might otherwise feel difficult (accessibility and responsiveness come to mind) cool. You can solve the easy ones, like styling and colors and fonts you like. You can add or subtract things that vibe with what you want that code to do. Once it is sold, it is yours to do with what you like when it comes to personal use. This is true of almost all coding contracts that exist in the entire world. If it weren't, no one would ever hire external contractors to do any work for their company, and I can tell you now, even companies which could fully afford to do all their tech in house absolutely do not in 99% of cases if their business isn't selling their own tech. The rule is generally- you may do anything you like with this, except resell it to someone else. So why take my name off it? I don't endorse how other people code. Even in my professional life, I've taken projects off my portfolio because the client took a project I worked on and broke it (imo), often with other professional developers doing the breaking. If a prospective employer were to go look at it, I'd be embarrassed by what it looks like today. Tell me why I (and my team) created a website that was fully responsive, and they went back to make it adaptive in the year of our lord 2022 because they preferred to have pixel perfect views at 3 specific breakpoints rather than a responsive site. I don't know, it's infuriating. I can't cite that project as an example of my work anymore, because it isn't. I would never leave a site in that state.

So, my first instinct with the idea of people using a skin i sell them as a base is 'take my name off it.' I don't want to be associated if responsive/accessible features are lost due to others working on a skin I wrote. But at the same time, where is the line between using something as a base, and editing a few small features? I certainly don't want to be an arbiter of that, or have to field questions or navigate feelings about it. In fact, personally I would not feel upset at all if someone used a paid for skin as a base, and inviting that kind of discussion is the only way I possibly could get upset since people have weird attitudes about a lot of this stuff. So I think the more practical standard is just to put credit, but make it explicit that the work has been heavily altered. Don't resell or redistribute, and you're golden, imo. Anyway, those are my feelings as someone who writes code for a living. I'm interested to hear counterpoints - constructively of course.

What It’s Like to Be a Full Stack Developer: A Day in My Life

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a full stack developer? The world of full stack development is a thrilling and dynamic one, filled with challenges and opportunities to create end-to-end solutions. In this blog post, I’m going to take you through a day in my life as a full stack developer, sharing the ins and outs of my daily routine, the exciting projects I work on, and the skills that keep me at the forefront of technology.

Morning Ritual: Coffee, Code, and Planning

My day typically begins with a strong cup of coffee and some quiet time for reflection. It’s during this peaceful morning routine that I gather my thoughts, review my task list, and plan the day ahead. Full stack development demands a strategic approach, so having a clear plan is essential.

Once I’m geared up, I dive into code. Mornings are often the most productive time for me, so I use this period to tackle complex tasks that require deep concentration. Whether it’s optimizing database queries or fine-tuning the user interface, the morning is when I make significant progress.

The Balancing Act: Frontend and Backend Work

One of the defining aspects of being a full stack developer is the constant juggling between frontend and backend development. I seamlessly switch between crafting elegant user interfaces and building robust server-side logic.

In the frontend world, I work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create responsive and visually appealing web applications. I make sure that the user experience is smooth, intuitive, and visually appealing. From designing layouts to implementing user interactions, frontend development keeps me creatively engaged.

On the backend, I manage server-side scripting languages like Python and Node.js, ensuring that the data and logic behind the scenes are rock-solid. Databases, both SQL and NoSQL, play a central role in the backend, and I optimize them for performance and scalability. Building APIs, handling authentication, and managing server infrastructure are all part of the backend responsibilities.

Collaboration and Teamwork

Full stack development often involves collaborating with a diverse team of developers, designers, and project managers. Teamwork is a cornerstone of success in our field, and communication is key. I engage in daily stand-up meetings to sync up with the team, share progress, and discuss roadblocks.

Collaborative tools like Git and platforms like GitHub facilitate seamless code collaboration. Code reviews are a regular part of our workflow, ensuring that the codebase remains clean, maintainable, and secure. It’s in these collaborative moments that we learn from each other, refine our skills, and collectively push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Continuous Learning and Staying Updated

Technology evolves at a rapid pace, and staying updated is paramount for a full stack developer. In the afternoon, I set aside time for learning and exploration. Whether it’s delving into a new framework, exploring emerging technologies like serverless computing, or simply catching up on industry news, this dedicated learning time keeps me ahead of the curve. The ACTE Institute offers numerous Full stack developer courses, bootcamps, and communities that can provide you with the necessary resources and support to succeed in this field. Best of luck on your exciting journey!

The Thrill of Problem Solving

As the day progresses, I often find myself tackling unforeseen challenges. Full stack development is, at its core, problem-solving. Debugging issues, optimizing code, and finding efficient solutions are all part of the job. These challenges keep me on my toes and are a source of constant learning.

Evening Reflection: Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead

As the day winds down, I wrap up my work, conduct final code reviews, and prepare for the next day. Full stack development is a fulfilling journey, but it’s important to strike a balance between work and personal life.

Reflecting on the day’s accomplishments and challenges, I’m reminded of the rewarding nature of being a full stack developer. It’s a role that demands versatility, creativity, and adaptability, but it’s also a role that offers endless opportunities for growth and innovation.

Being a full stack developer is not just a job; it’s a way of life. Each day is a new adventure filled with code, collaboration, and the excitement of building end-to-end solutions. While the challenges are real, the satisfaction of creating something meaningful is immeasurable. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a full stack developer, I hope this glimpse into my daily life has shed some light on the dynamic and rewarding world of full stack development.
