Stackathon is open to everyone, whether you're just starting out in your coding journey or you're a seasoned pro!

Join our Discord to find a team and learn from other developers or just hang out :)

Sign ups are open now. Hacking begins June 14, 2024!

Thank you!

Hello! We're a small full-stack JS dev shop that just launched our first blockchain-based app! We originally did this project to learn Solana development and to submit it to the Ignition Hackathon (we did not win ;P).

It's been a fun journey and we plan on blogging about our experience and open sourcing our code to help others like us!

Feel free to ask us any questions! Web3 is a new and exciting space and we want to help others that are new to the space like us.

If you're looking to be valuable in the job market then my advice would be to focus on fundamentals and soft skills. If you're more interested in changing what you work on day to day then I think you need to apply elsewhere. It's really hard to change the stack of legacy software and often doesn't make business sense. Even when there is a lot of value in upgrading, you will need to convince people that may not necessarily agree.

What has worked for me is to move to what has made me MOSTLY happy. It's rare that you will find a perfect situation.

Definitely luck. I worked as a front-end developer on a team that was part-time remote (1-2 days wfh a week). Then our team got merged with another IT team that was full-time remote. I was at that job for about 6 years. After that I worked at a consultancy for a year and then a startup for another year with no remote work. Then I started my own consulting business, so I got to work full-time remote again. It's been about 2 years now and I'm loving every minute of it. I just bought a standing desk and a new french press :)

I got back into working out about a year ago. The amount of workout apps and online resources was SO overwhelming, I didn't know where to start. I decided to just ask my brother (who is big into working out) to show me a few basic exercises with dumbbells and body weight that I could do at home. Then I just used a notebook and pen to keep track of my progress. I love not having the phone around while working out. I feel like it can be such a distraction. And there's something about writing out a log with pen and paper that is just really satisfying. I love looking back and seeing pages and pages of workouts that I wrote out. It really helped me to get back into working out on a regular basis and make it a habit.

Don't forget that each member of your team is a unique individual. Just like raising kids, there is not a one size fits all formmula. Get to know each member of your team on a personal level. This will go a long way in building trust and being able to lead them effectively.

I'm going to try and add a different angle to this because most people here have covered what I wanted to say (performance, compensation etc.)

I would use this time to find out how your manager is doing in his/her role. Find out how you can help them. Talk to them about their frustrations and how they are feeling. Just because they are your manager doesn't mean you need to treat them like a boss all the time. Show them some care and empathy. It can go a long way for your career.

We are two React developers. Every time we start a new project we constantly have the same questions: which libraries have the functionality we need and are they actively maintained? There is an overwhelming number of React libraries out there that do similar things, so we created reactlibraries.com to facilitate and organize them in a simplified and categorized way. We hope for this to turn into a community-driven database. If you have any favourite libraries or would like to showcase your own, please feel free to submit as many libraries as you would like. We are also hoping to launch our weekly newsletter soon which will showcase the most popular and upcoming libraries of the week. Also please feel free to give us any suggestions or feedback regarding functionality or additional organizational tools.
