Looking for the First Job

Versão em Português

This is a very common state for people in college, people before/after a bootcamp, or people from another area.

The first job will be the hardest one to get, but it will get easier over time.

The interview will be harder than the job itself

learn about basic database modelling, use excalidraw
learn how to connect to a database and performe queries
learn how to expose a CRUD API REST and/or GraphQL
learn how to document the API using Swagger, swagger-jsdoc is the best for it
learn how to test your API using Postman, and also automated using jest and supertest
learn how to consume other APIs using fetch

Also check Docker Learning Path and Lambda Learning Path

Pretende usar `UUID` como PK em vez de `Int/BigInt` no seu banco de dados? Pense novamente...

TL;TD

Não use UUID como PK nas tabelas do seu banco de dados.

Um pouco mais de detalhes

Hi, I'm mcpower. I've done Advent of Code seriously for two years now in Python, placing 9th in 2018 and 12th in 2017. This year, I'm taking a break from aiming for the leaderboard - while it's fun and all, it is a bit stressful at times (the good kind of stress, though!). As such, I'd like to share a few tips for anyone wanting to aim for the leaderboard.

This is everything that worked for me. Your mileage may vary, though - don't take this as gospel, see what works for you.

In this tutorial we're going to build a set of parser combinators.

What is a parser combinator?

We'll answer the above question in 2 steps.

What is a parser?
and, what is a parser combinator?

So first question: What is parser?

Advanced Anki deck editing made simple (ish)

Anki is a great open source flashcard app that can be used to learn anything.

This Gist is a full end to end example of how to:

export Anki decks from Anki
import Anki decks into MySQL
edit Anki decks using MySQL
export Anki decks from MySQL

Project Ideas

Ok. I'm going to list off some ideas for projects. You will have to determine if any particular idea is good enough to include in a portfolio. These aren't creative ideas. They likely already exist. Some are way too advanced while others are simplistic.

I will recommend to post any project you make to github and make a github project page for it. Explain in as much detail as possible how you made it, how it can be improved etc. Document it.

If you pick an advanced idea, setup a development roadmap and follow it. This will show some project management skills.

Another piece of advice for those who are design challenged. Use different front end frameworks and use different themes for those frameworks to provide appealing designs without looking like yet another bootstrap site.

async/await is just the do-notation of the Promise monad

CertSimple just wrote a blog post arguing ES2017's async/await was the best thing to happen with JavaScript. I wholeheartedly agree.

In short, one of the (few?) good things about JavaScript used to be how well it handled asynchronous requests. This was mostly thanks to its Scheme-inherited implementation of functions and closures. That, though, was also one of its worst faults, because it led to the "callback hell", an seemingly unavoidable pattern that made highly asynchronous JS code almost unreadable. Many solutions attempted to solve that, but most failed. Promises almost did it, but failed too. Finally, async/await is here and, combined with Promises, it solves the problem for good. On this post, I'll explain why that is the case and trace a link between promises, async/await, the do-notation and monads.

First, let's illustrate the 3 styles by implementing

	import { subscriptionWithClientId } from 'graphql-relay-subscription';

	import UserType from '../UserType';
	import * as UserLoader from '../UserLoader';
	import pubSub, { EVENTS } from '../../../channels/pubSub';

	const UserAddedSubscription = subscriptionWithClientId({
	name: 'UserAdded',
	inputFields: {},
	subscribe: () => pubSub.asyncIterator(EVENTS.USER.ADDED),

	import discord
	from discord.ext import commands
	import datetime

	from urllib import parse, request
	import re

	bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', description="This is a Helper Bot")

	@bot.command()
