Bros no lie, when was the last time you wrote your own binary search algorithm for a client?

your question is akin to asking "when last did you see somebody drive a McLaren . . . "
while the most expensive car in your neck of woods might be a Mercedes Benz,
in some areas, that would be the cheapest car you'd spot
You get the idea.
I used BFS and DFS a couple of months ago for a mobile e-commerce app.
You're free to ask me why.

COdeGenesis:
What the fk are these ones? Probably advanced ones and barely 10% of people use them

LOL . . . hahaha, thats what you feel , right?
Remember we have O Level, then Bachelors, then PhD and , , , u know d rest
There are levels to this.

99.99% of the comments so far are barely scratching the surface of programming. like 10% of programming

Nobody mentioned skull-cracking algos and (data structures) like
dijktra's algorithm, lee's algorithm, shortest path in a maze,
BFS and DFS, kruskal and kadane etc . . lol

Common man, there are many threads like these already . . right on the main page of this board
Its always a good idea to use the search feature first . . . so we dont
have to keep repeating ourselves over and over again . .

Idontknowyou:
Thanks.. But I felt there are some values I will have to change.. so using const might not be the answer.. But I know Const is the preferable one to use

No please, you should start with const, and when you encounter the problem of reassigning a value, change it to let.
if you do it the other way round, and your project is huge, you would have gone too far and not even able to remember where you had "let"

Have you considered that he may have been posting with his phone on nairaland and only made more sense snapping with same phone?

While that maybe considered, for the sake of clarity, would you go to e.g. stackoverflow in search of an answer and post such an image like he did?
You know what's gonna happen, right?

It amazes me how people snap their screen with a mobile phone,
when windows itself has a prebuilt snipping tool that allows you to take
screenshots in full HD. Sad

who eats at night with dark sunshades on? Funny

fredpaul:
I gave you an example on how firefox could be used to improve css skills, Personally to me thats how i learnt css

He was pretty much confused cos the way u mentioned firefox made it seem like it was something unique to firefox ONLY
and he's trying to tell you its pretty much standard for all browsers and its called DevTools for short.

kayodez:
Thanks jawe, boss! Noted.

but can you give reasons for this your points so other can learn from this. Cheers!

For one, it's a false rating because nobody will rate themselves say 10% or 20%. You will like to feel good.
For two, you don't set an exam and mark it yourself. Allow your interviewer to rate you after you must have undergone an interview.
For three, humans are naturally bias and will rate themselves good. Who certified you 70% in javascript? Was it Brendan Eich? What you feel is 70% can be 30% after you have been grilled in an interview.

TLDR: Allow your interviewer rate you. Just say I'm good with Javascript, How good you are is left for your employer to know.

Smiles, I guess you've not worked with complex algorithms. I'm into AI, there are algorithms covering decades of research which has been compiled into simple libraries for use. So unless you are a scientist or seasoned researcher in the AI field, you cannot do shit without such libraries. Now these are the scenarios I was pointing at when i raised the previous work. But if it's mediocre projects you want to be doing for life, then sure, you can continue writting your Vanilla codes.

Libraries are made so we can extend on the methods while building systems. Even libraries nowadays are built on pre-existing libraries. But you are here championing the idea of writing Vanilla codes, you will sleep there.

LOL . . . If you cannot read to understand, then it's not my fault . . .
If you like be into complex physics, electromagnetism and mechanics . . the fact still remains the same.
Talking about working on complex algorithms, well, we'll discuss that another day.
Cheers.

Rough idea? How much are you paying?

Semtu:
Lol, don't deceive yourself with this mentality. The things you can do with frameworks and libraries, you can't even dream of doing by coding from the scratch .

LOL, and who told you so? whatever you can do with a framework or a library can be done with vanilla code, yes !
Afterall, the framework and/or library itself was built upon vanilla codes; or did they just appear from heaven?
e.g. react was built upon javascript. therefore, anything that can be done in react can be done with pure js. too
it might take 1 hour in react and 1 week to accomplish the same thing in vanilla js, but the point is, it will still be accomplished no matter what.
or did they integrate php and python into react to make it special? if u look under the hood, it's javascript.
Frameworks only exist to make your iterate faster and prevent you from reinventing the wheel and repeating yourself over and over again
If somebody else has done it, you can use the same piece of code, instead of starting afresh.
Once again let me drum it into you, frameworks are an abstraction of vanilla codes, if u look under the hood, u will see them there staring back at you.
And you can do 100% anything using either a framework or vanilla codes.

Lol learning desktop based css only isn't really advisable as far as I'm concerned, alot of people access websites with their mobile phones, so ur website must be very responsive, infact as a web developer, I make sure d mobile version is to a very large extent interesting, accessible and easy, but desktop versions are always very easy, so I don't really stress myself over that

That's what you feel. Good luck working on AWS or GCP or any other cloud platform using your mobile phone.
Last time i checked, they were not even made for mobile-responsiveness. Also, you need to understand that some web apps will be desktop-only or desktop-first approach e.g. most invoicing software and ci/cd web apps e.g. Puppet, Ansible, even Github doesnt work well on mobile compared to desktop-mode. Good luck using Figma on your mobile phone or Adobe XD.

So the issue of desktop or mobile first is more of your customer market. if you are targeting mostly non-technical people, then mobile-first. If you market is mainly for the tech-savvy, then desktop-first.

WTF! Even gmail has bugs . . office365 . . .

Your generalisations are way too broad.

Does this look Nigerian

Looks very 'Nigerian"
And you just had to confirm his suspicion . . .

pcguru1:
The irony is that let still converts to var , when you check the ES5 code

True, not just "let", all ES6+ keywords/expressions will be transpiled , but at least to keep your sanity intact,
you'd want to keep up with ECMA

Where did you dig out the tutorial you're following?
"var" in 2020?
Besides, you didn't even paste the error message you're receiving . .
and also do well, to send a screenshot of the entire code block invoking the functions

My doctor say that I should not drink coffee because of my health issue

A programmer and his doctor are soon parted.

klentochka:
The thing is, css is гетагded*, and nothing works as expected.
What's more, there are different browsers and different screen resolutions so good luck supporting all that mess.
Solution: leave that job for someone else and work on backend, using an actual programming language.

*what's that censorship for lmao, had to use cyrillic letters

True . .
Unless you're tryna become a fullstack software engineer, then i'd advise against going too deep into css. Just learn the basics needed for good functionality, at least desktop-based.
Making a web app, for example, look good on all devices is one hell of a job, but yes its very possible 100%. you just gotta devote time to it, and you'll see yourself becoming a front-end engineer in the long run during that task.
So pick your poison.... back end or front end or both . . .

hmmmmm i fear u abeg small small dey lie nw ..................

One thing I've noticed; most programmers here learnt and mastered most of the languages within 3 weeks to 3 months
Amazing !!!

chingle5:
OP i am still learning HTML and CSS ..... I just want to ask, I am thinking they are saying one to build a website like jumia or those e-commerce sites with a user account, I don't know maybe that I what authentication means where the user can order stuff and also manage those stuff......... that git part I don't understand maybe to upload one's code there and host the website on Heroku , I think Heroku is like bluehost and godaddy hosting platform ........ please correct me if I am wrong coz I am still a learner

You're pretty much correct on these fronts except for the fact that Heroku isnt like Bluehost and Godaddy, .it is not a platform, it is a hosting "infrastructure" . . take note, big difference between platform and infrastructure,as the latter is one-level deeper . ., it has no cpanel, and is therefore barebones, means you have to work from scratch, command line. No user interface that allows drag and drop like cpanels . . .

still available ?? where is your location ?

I received a voice note to that effect and it is well understood. Matter of fact, one of my items, the only one for which I have a tracking number is already out for delivery and I would appreciate if you would send the tracking numbers for the others. It goes a long way.
Cheers.

The only way to make money with the MERN stack is to get a job or build your own startup. Startups are hard and there's a 95 percent chance of failure. If one needs a team of developers to build an idea, to me they have already failed. This WordPress, Shopify and Magento stuff is something a developer can use few hours of their time to build and they are already part of an ecosystem. Imagine building a useful wordpress plugin with a freemium model. Plugin has like 10000 downloads and you even start charging 5 dollars a month for advanced features and like 1000 people pay. That's 5000 USD a month from one plugin. WordPress advertises your plugins. You don't need SEO, you don't need a whole development team, you don't need frontend or backend or UI and UX designers and all of that to do a plugin. The koko is the knowledge to even learn to build and develop a useful plugin in hidden from the public. Not much videos and courses so you need to read your eyes out and ask questions out there.

Just the same way you could build a MERN OR PERN app and get lucky and hit 10k subscribers with 3k MRR at 5 usd = 15k usd per month.....And also get unlucky designing a plugin nobody wants. These things happen. So much misinformation here. With regards to the jobs, a senior development role be it, php, python, c++ or javascript will command high remuneration that an entry-level role.......
And yes there are thousands of job offers for these stacks, Two things are just happening
1.) You are not just looking at the right places. and, even if you were
2.) You are not just qualified enough, cos

Cos the problem with these stacks, e.g. MERN, blah blah blah , is that they expose your deficiency pretty quickly. Unlike a plugin where it's just a one man's job and you could be average with it. Stack jobs often require a greater degree of expertise cos of the lots of moving things attached, eg. ci/cd, unit testing, data structures for the backend, performance[ Uncle Big 0], and scalability. Thus most roles you will see for these require a senior.
Up your game, and you won't have to create threads like this. In fact, if someone gives you a wordpress job to execute, you'll fling it away.
