One thing that would help onboarding, I think, may be an initial/sample/example/default workspace with some illustrative sections and tasks. It's a bit too empty/minimal up front, but I see some potential/promise here for sure.
Again, nice work!
Settings don't seem to work on mobile.
This is super impressive; nice to see folks who've come from a Bukkit plugin development background too :P Few suggestions: The description you've given us here on HN is so much better than on your landing page here: https://tablane.net/ The first thoughts I had were: "Okay, Productivity. And it's 'Next Generation'. What does that even mean? The screenshot is pretty but I don't really understand what it's showing". I…
> There are a few dialogs that don't seem to support keyboard controls (like Enter), I've opened a PR for this.
Thanks, I am going to check that!
> When I try and run it locally to test my PR, it seems to complain with an "AppError: Invalid access token" on the backend. I get a "Something went wrong" error message (and the XHR fails with a CORS error). What am I doing wrong?
I forgot to add the .env.example file to the tablane-api repo: https://github.com/Tablane/tablane-api/commit/6c92035505914d...
Hey Marcus! Super cool to see another fellow Minecraft-jumpstarted developer. I got into programming way back in 2013 with Minecraft mods and then Bukkit/Spigot plugins. > I decided to look for open Developer positions, to work with a team of experienced developers so I can learn even faster. Seeing as you're in Europe and not in the U.S. (with exorbitant tuition costs), I would actually recommend against skipping ou…
I agree that the computer science knowledge, even some of the deeply theoretical stuff, is heavily underrated. Classes like OS, networks, programming languages and compilers, and computation theory have taught me stuff I use in actual software development. Plus, learning how to look up stuff and understand research papers and take measurements and form experiments (you will need to read heavy documentation and measure things in industry).
Without knowing the fundamentals of CS like data structures you may miss out some concepts and end up doing things inefficiently (in both development effort and inefficient programs). Webdev alone won’t get you that knowledge.
As for the “college experience” personally I disagree. I’m of the camp (as an American) that it’s mostly a glorified American thing. As long as you have some friends, who you can find in college or industry or your local town (if you don’t move), you are set, and you’re not missing much (as having some friends and hanging out basically is the college experience).
But also, as someone who went through college I think it greatly helps to have experience in industry. Because while you miss out on purely industry, you also miss out on purely academia (cue: academics who are wildly out-of-touch, papers on deep theoretical concepts I doubt will have any real-world use). It also really helps with finances (read: not going into college debt) and "getting your foot in the game" and making connections early is extremely useful as it will let you graduate with experience on your resume and skip entry-level jobs. I think that the best solution is both, hence join an internship-focused college or take college classes and maybe lab work while doing an internship
Really nice looking work! How did you build your landing page and your design? One of the major gaps in my skillset is design/css, so I'm always impressed by good looking sites like yours.
I design things by throwing a lot of elements I like from other places together. Here are some examples: https://imgur.com/a/5EL2LJq
I'm a C# guy, so I might not be of any help, but I'm a professional developer for 10+ years here in Germany. So If you have any questions, you can find my email in the about page.
Reasons against college
- I recently visited a College Conference and wans't really impressed by any of them, mainly because their presented curriculum where basic js, css, html, react, easy leetcode algorithms which I already know
- I don't really happy with my current position in School, where I sit and listen to the teacher talking about a topic for an hour which I could teach myself with a 5 min youtube video
- Additionally my plan was to move to the US where Waterloo University would be 100k a year for non-us-citizen
- I've heard that after a few years of working as a Software Engineer the college degree doesn't matter anymore
- Having an income
- learning from experienced Software Engineers
Reasons for college:
- the life experience
- some people say getting a job without a degree is almost impossible
What do you guys think about this list?
I stopped reading at "Tablane is a workspace that adapts to your needs. It's as minimal or as powerful as you need it to be."
This tells me nothing and triggers my "do not ever go there scam" sense.
