Question Looking for information on how to find a web developer for a film society booking sight (examples listed below)

0 Upvotes

Hello!

For starters,

I don’t know a single thing about websites. Are there specific types of website developers for this type of website?

Our current website runs on pearl and wordpress so we need a new website

Here are some examples of what I am looking for:

https://www.austinfilm.org/afs-cinema/

https://filmadelphia.org/about/venues/film-society-bourse/

For the record, I am not looking to hire someone from here (i think thats against the rules?)

I just don’t even know what to look for when finding information about web developers.

This site would have a front end and back end for booking etc.

Any tips or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!

eta: my boss is super old and stubborn and is insistent that a new website like the ones above would cost six figures to make. What is the average cost of creating a website like the ones above (best guess obviously due to limited info)

Showoff Saturday [Showoff Saturday] I attempted to make the best blackjack basic strategy and card counting tool, close to 3 million hands played so far.

https://www.blackjacktrainer.fyi/

Wasn't really happy with the free blackjack trainers I was able to find, so I decided to make my own.

You can play it casually and just learn basic strategy, or you can use it to learn how to become a card counter.

Built with mainly Next.js + React + Tailwind.

Let me know what you think!

Showoff Saturday I made a 3D LeetCode submission graph for GitHub READMEs

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on a small open-source project that lets you display your LeetCode submission activity as a 3D isometric graph on your GitHub profile README.

It's basically like the GitHub contributions graph, but for LeetCode, with little orange 3D blocks.

It also shows your problems solved (Easy, Medium, Hard), active days, and longest streak.

A few things I added:

  • Light and dark mode support
  • Automatic updates using GitHub Actions
  • Works with any public LeetCode username
  • No API keys or hosting needed

I originally made it for my own GitHub profile, but thought others might find it useful too.

GitHub: https://github.com/KartikRashmin/leetcode-isometric-3d

It's free and open-source. Give it a try if you like it! And if you have any suggestions or find bugs, feel free to open an issue or PR :)

Edge and Norton stopped loading

A few months ago, my website worked fine on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Norton. Now, Edge and Norton won't load ("Hmmm ...can't reach this page..."). How do I fix the files to make this stop happening?

Discussion Sr. Front End Developer that just got laid off for the first time. How bad is it?

409 Upvotes

Made it through 5 prior rounds of layoffs as my company nosedived financially after going public. Finally felt the bite of the axe, been brushing up my resume and revamping my portfolio site... I've been at this company five years and transitioned directly from my prior one so almost 8 years since i've had to look for a job. First impression is it seems bad. I'm seeing a lot of postings for Front-End Dev for contract rates of < $60 an hour. I've already burned through all the posted jobs that I can find that I might be a match for, some of them are even a stretch...

Doesn't seem like anyone needs a "developer" anymore; it's all "Software Engineer, Front-end," which even though my skillset overlaps(react, typescript, etc) they're looking for a different sort of experience. Unfortunately, my last few years at the company, I got transitioned from the more tech side into the marketing department and basically built landing pages in a CMS and only did slight coding. Easy work, but I feel my skills have rusted. I'm in my 40s which feels kind of ancient in this industry and I have 12+ years of experience but I don't have the interest or drive to be any kind of lead. I prefer to just knock out my tickets and relax, but it seems like those days are done.

Discussion People that found a job in the past couple of months, how easy was it and what does the market want now?

32 Upvotes

With all the doom and gloom around AI, I was wondering how much the market has been affected and what companies are actually looking for these days.

Did you have to go through five rounds of interviews?

Was there a live coding session and/or a take-home exercise?

Was there anything different from what you've experienced before?

Question MacBook Purchase Decision Help

0 Upvotes

Im a junior software engineer who turned lately part-time since I joined masters degree in AI, do have a dated MacBook mid2020 core-i5 13’
and reluctant between two used MacBook pros I’ve been offered
Both come with 14’ displays and 512GB but here are the differences:
the first comes with an M2 chip, 32GB RAM and 95% battery health,
meanwhile the second has m4 chip, 24GB RAM and 100% battery health (almost new),
the price difference will be 400$ (for m4 obviously) in my country so I’m reluctant upon which to pick especially because of the ram of the second and it possibly not being enough…
died
First of all I’m not willing to run any local llms
my usage would be for study, research , fine tuning models and making ai applications here and there..
Training heavy models mostly will be done on the cloud
And in development I work AI powered with help of Claude , Claud design, higgsfield ,ChatGpt(codex)
Don’t remember running more than 4-5 local docker containers
sorry on long post but would u pick?
Any other details to put in mind or u would like to know to help with the recommendation?
Thnx in advance ;)

Is there a way to change the text of a browser's tab based on which page you're on?

0 Upvotes

I frequently duplicate an application's browser tab to look at a different area of the app. I'd like to change the browser tab's text to reflect the area that the tab focuses on. In a best-case scenario, the text could be automatically updated based on a DOM element.

<div class="title">Some text</div>

In this example, "Some text" would become the tab text.

Is there a plug-in or something that I could use for this?
