I heard good things about Algorithms course by Princeton university on coursera
Re:Ask HN: Is there a note taking app you're 100% happy with? on Wednesday December 30, 2020 @05:01AM (#25580296)
This was my exact high-level expectation for the note app, ended up using https://obsidian.md/
Re:Ask HN: Ready to leave front end behind. But where next? on Saturday December 12, 2020 @10:03AM (#25398609)
> Working with an interactive component with Vue/React, and/or working with api data definitely has been actual fun.

That kind of says it, doesn't it? Try to get better knowledge with Vue/React and land a job at a product company with a cool application that you like. The problems there are much more interesting than "nudging things 1px this way and 2px that way". I can tell that because I'm a frontend engineer myself.

Best of luck!

Re:Ask HN: How do you deal with chronic illness? on Monday October 19, 2020 @04:49PM (#24830852)
I'm very sorry to hear that. As someone who has arthritis my advice to you is to eat healthily, manage your stress, and don't forget about physical activity: therapy, walking, biking - listen to your body, and see what works for you. All the doctors I've been to said that the key thing to prevent the illness develop further is the activity.
Looks like one of the possibilities would be using a samsung phone that supports Samsung DEX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU0cN_HcwMY

Ask HN: People working remotely, how do you plan your workday?

Do you use any special tools or anything like that?The problem I'm facing is when my team grew up, I get a lot of requests to check something, help, etc. Sometimes I forget about either of those requests because I don't do any planning (e.g work on a task for 7 hrs, then PR reviews/requests for 1 hr) and the requests get lost. I use slack reminder bot very frequently but this doesn't work well...

I fully agree with this. Zoom has done a huge amount of work optimizing its transfer protocols to make it that reliable. Is it possible to offer same reliability using WebRTC in a browser when 50 participants are connected? I am not sure. Even https://whereby.com/ offers only up to 12 people on their highest plan. I think videoconferencing software like Remotehour serves a different purpose - seamlessly jump to a videocall without any software required to install until zoom releases a web client.

Re:Ask HN: Is it difficult to hire React developers? on Tuesday October 15, 2019 @05:02PM (#21263723)
Totally agree. There are a lot of React developers because the entry threshold is lower than other technologies, but there are much fewer good ones. Easy to learn, hard to master

Re:Ask HN: Why does front-end development change so often? on Sunday January 20, 2019 @03:02AM (#18951812)
I'd say react.js. It has been proven to be a good choice for all kind of web applications (small, large) and even static web sites (https://www.gatsbyjs.org/, https://github.com/nozzle/react-static). Also it has an awesome community and awesome tooling (create-react-app), which allow you not to bother with "framework/library/build tool/transpiling hell".

Check this repo if you're interested in react: https://github.com/enaqx/awesome-react

You can also check vue.js, I have heard from many people that it's very good and some even say that it is better and easier to get started with than react :) I've never worked with it so I can't say much about it
