"When you update your code or delete a project, we just remove the container and start up another if necessary"
They keep warm containers of your instance in their orchestration
Depends on the project. If its monetary, you need to approach it with a business mindset and the Domain Drive Design standard works well here (although it can be overkill at times)
For everything else I think design should drive the backend development. Annotate some figma mockups and you can build your schema off of that.
I'd say Django. Its fast to get things running, security and CSRF out of the box. Very mature framework with a huge following.
I've read a couple answers on here regarding the situation, but they were all from ~3-5 years ago. The landscape has probably changed quite a bit since then. I feel the market is over-saturated and clients outsourcing to ultra-low bids is a real hurdle. Every freelance site has thousands of these bids. Can be discouraging at the least. Fingers crossed!
I'm curious. I've used GoLang's simple web server before, but I'm interested in what GoLang provides over Node. To me, it seems Go is especially well suited for microservices and tasks requiring a lot of CPU intensive processes while Node is better when working with small requests over the wire.
In other words, what is Go's main selling point in competing with Node in terms of its http server, TCP sockets, etc...
Can Go's awesome concurrency patterns be used to optimize server requests? Can it be well utilized as a proxy?

So unfortunately the web development company I was working for downsized and laid me off. It had nothing to do with my performance, I'm a competent developer and hard-worker. Currently, I think freelancing may be a good route to try.My questions regarding this are pretty straight forward.1) I know I'm lacking a portfolio. This seems to be a chicken before the egg situation. How should I build a...
I literally could not keep a straight face watching the first video. Is this guy for real?
Surprised no one has mentioned Redis...Its stored in your server's ram and can store JSON strings.

I have experience in web application development and am looking to get into freelancing and consultancy(I'm currently a full-time employee as a software developer). How do I compete with individuals who market themselves overseas at impossible rates for living in first world countries? (~$7/hr)
Ah forgot the title. Thank you.

Where is a good resource for a standard relational database schema for CRM's? For example, software like:www.crexi.com
www.apto.com
React and postgres are great. I think you already have a solid stack with just those two. React offers a lot of what a large framework can eliminating a lot of the fluff things like Angular seems to include. That being said, I don't use frameworks and code in pure TS -> JS these days and borrow things a specific project needs from more popular frameworks, tweaking it for what I need.
Meteor is good for prototyping and getting something up fast. I find it very amateurish and highly abstracted. If you're a green developer, you aren't going to learn anything using Meteor. Also, I believe support for this framework is dying. Its highly, "Meteor's way or the highway"
Express is more just glue between your front end and your server/backend that uses Node as its adhesive. Its pretty great for eliminating a lot of boilerplate you would otherwise run into.

One of the best ways I know to improve competency in coding is to read other's well written code. What are some good open source projects you would recommend to read through that have good design patterns, good styling, and elegant code?

How do you go about becoming intimately familiar with someone else's previously written code in order to work with it or build upon it?
If you're lucky you'll skip to bedroom acrobatics
What is encapsulation in any language? Put simply, we encapsulate mainly to prevent mistakingly altering data. For example, private methods and variables.
Class Foo:
def __init__(self):
self.__im_private()
def bar(self):
print('baz')
def __im_private(self):
print('back off, I can only be called by the class')
Location: Orange County, CA
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: JS, Node, Mongo, SQL, Angular, HTML/CSS/Bootstrap, Python
Resume/CV: https://bwheel181.github.io

Looking for full-stack work on the entry - junior level. Ideally my work would center around the MEAN stack but I am well versed in Python as low level programming (C++/Java) as well.
We use Costar almost exclusively. When you discuss new ways of getting data, how would that be something materially different from Costar? What about innovations for a contact management system?

I've been wanting to get into a position that would afford me a relatively small online income that would ultimately lead to a lifestyle of travel in low income countries where I could live comfortably. Does anyone have experience with this?
I have a finance degree and am in the US. I've been self taught for the past few years. I know the basics of programming and its easy for me to learn a new language but proving to tech firms here has proved difficult except for small short term gigs ironing out wordpress issues and writing data mining scripts. Any advice how to break out into the industry would be greatly appreciated.
1) I'm stuck. Can't make it at a programming job since my major was not CS.
2) Freelance doesn't really work without a portfolio to gain traction
Horrible situation because money was never an issue to me. I just wanted to pursue my passion. If I was able to remotely work for $20/hr. I would gladly move to a low cost of living country.

I'm looking for advice on becoming a freelance programmer. My main expertise is in automated tasks, Python scripts, web scraping, and some database management with SQL. I'm a finance grad but realized I should have went CS when I took a CS course as an elective when I was a senior so I'm self taught. I currently work in commercial real estate doing data mining and various "gray hat" lead...
