I’m wondering if there are any particular pros or cons I may not be considering regarding deploying a browser based product on a subdomain versus a normal authenticated route.

I’ve noticed that my particular “niche” within software development has, especially over the past two years, become extremely saturated. At the same time, the actual market need for this niche seems to be slowly decreasing.

I’m a senior dev and can still get gigs, but nowhere nearly as easily as I could 5 years ago, despite having 5 more years of experience.

I’m wondering if there are a few particular tech stacks/technologies that would be worth focusing on and becoming an expert in to stay employable over the next 5-10 years.

Yes, I know it’s good to be a generalist, and I am, but employers seem to prefer to hire “experts” in particular domains.

Specific answers would be appreciated. “Focus on AI” and the like aren’t particularly helpful, though of course I appreciate the input!

Hey everyone, I want to build a simple program that will allow me to track my financial “net worth” month to month. It will essentially just take a few numbers from various banking and brokerage accounts every month and compare with the month prior.

It’ll probably just be a script I run locally every month. I’m wondering what the best option might be for saving the account values. A full blown db (sqlite or postgres) sort of seems like overkill, and saving to a text file seems to…fragile? Just wondering if anyone can think of some better options for this use case.

Hi everyone! I worked a number of fairly well compensated roles, but after spending much time abroad I’ve realized I highly value being and working in an environment and culture new to me, so that I am constantly learning things in day to day life (a new language, for example), even if software roles aren’t as well paid as for example in the United States.

I understand it’s possible to get a good remote job and relocate that way, and there’s plenty of sites dedicated to finding remote jobs, but I’m wondering if anyone knows of some job sites that are hiring for roles with long term visas included (in cases where needed).

I hope this question makes sense, but I will clarify further if needed!

I’m looking at a new project that will basically contain a search bar and a bunch of content boxes that are dynamically populated with data from a backend based on the search.

Most of my limited frontend experience has been React, and I’ve always been displeased with the extreme amount of crisscrossing dependencies and not really knowing what’s going on behind the mountain of npm modules.

I suspect many would suggest raw JS/HTMl/CSS, but I do enjoy having (limited) “handrails” that are often included with frameworks, plus I imagine raw JS/HTML would become too messy to quickly.

I’m looking for something that will let me build a simple site with dynamic feature that doesn’t have a huge backlog of dependencies and mysterious magic behind the scenes. Does that exist in 2024?
