I wanna go Freelance

Gerardo — Wed, 02 Oct 2019 23:39:03 +0000

Hi!, I'm a software engineering student that works as Full Stack developer with React and Node for almost a year, and I wanted to have a little more experience and experiment with clients outside my daily job and start a working as a freelance part time.

But being frankly, I don't know where to start, in which project should I bid, how much etc etc, so If you guys would give some advice would be nice! Happy coding!

Do you really know JS?

Hi!, this is my first post and I wanted to make it a little and simple javascript quiz but I wont give you the answers, the idea is that you put your answers in the comments and discussed which ones are correct and which are not, so let's begin!

1.- What is the result of this expression? (or multiple ones)

                 ["1", "2", "3"].map(parseInt)

a) ["1","2", "3"]
b) [1,2,3]
c) [1, NaN, NaN]
d) other (give your answer)

2.- What is the result of this expression? (or multiple ones)

                 [typeof null, null instanceof Object]

a) ["object", true]
b) ["object", false]
c) ["object", null]
d) other (give your answer)

3.- What is the result of this expression? (or multiple ones)

                  var x = [].reverse;
                  x();

a) window
b) other
c) undefined
d) true

4.- What is the result of this expression? (or multiple ones)

                   2 == [[[2]]]

a) false
b) true
c) error
d) undefined

5.- What is the result of this expression? (or multiple ones)

                   var a = /123/,
                   b = /123/;
                   a == b
                   a === b

a) true, true
b) true, false
c) false, true
d) other

6.- What is the result of this expression? (or multiple ones)

          var a = {}, b = Object.prototype;
          [a.prototype === b, Object.getPrototypeOf(a) === b]

a) [true, false]
b) [true, true]
c) [false, false]
d) none of the above

Hi, my name is Jesus, Im from Venezuela and currently I'm living in Uruguay studying software engineering. I'm halfway through of my career by now, and 4 months ago I started looking for my first job, I found one, as a web developer, and guess what, I didn't have any idea of web development, just the basics, html, css, bootstrap, but I didn't know s**t about backend, node, express, mongo, etc etc, NOTHING.

So, my first month in the company began, I was nervous as hell. At first, I started with courses to learn what I needed it (Their intention for me was that I became a MERN stack developer) so for a whole month I learned all the necessary.

At my second month I started my capacitation proyect, a simple project to put in practice what I learned from the courses. Things happen and I took a long time to finished, almost 2 months, and that wasn't good, one of my main problems was that I make a lot of mistakes while coding, and those mistakes took me a long time to debug them, most of them on backend, but, I learned a lot, which for me is what matters. My bosses were displeased with my situation and until this day they keep telling me that in a certain way.

I'm about to start my 4th month, I started last week a project with a client, an easy project, and I'm giving my best at it, but my bosses told me last week that in their opinion Im not ready to be in a bigger project and that I should work harder (thing that I do), sooo, I don't know, this is my first job and i'm not scare about failure, I hope I can knock out this project and finish it on time, but if I dont, I dont know how I will feel about it, I hope I could learn a lot of that situation.

Well, this was my first post, sorry if a made grammar mistakes, I hope you read it and I don't know, be happy and happy coding!
