Gumroad's #14DayProduct challenge Day 2: Pick Your Topic and Outline Your Product.

Mehmood — Wed, 28 Oct 2020 17:00:15 +0000

After working on the spreadsheet, I finally narrowed down to 2 potential products:

A video course for developers on "How to debug your code" in various languages.
I'll demonstrate it in a couple of languages (Java, JavaScript, etc.) and also add a module on how to improve search on Google / StackOverflow in case of error.
A video course in which I can demonstrate my process of outsourcing projects that I don't have the expertise or simply not enough time to do but also don't want to lose my client.

I have vast experience in both of the above topics and I feel confident that the audience will gain value from these topics. I am equally excited about both of these topics so unable to pick one.

Need your feedback/help in deciding.

Thanks

team 'HUSTLE' or team 'WAIT' ?

Mehmood — Wed, 19 Aug 2020 15:40:39 +0000

We've seen 2 different schools of thoughts on the internet:

A) 'Good things come to those who wait'
OR
B) 'Good things come to those who hustle'

Which one do you believe in and apply in your life?

Why do people/companies still use Internet Explorer?

Mehmood — Mon, 25 May 2020 22:27:57 +0000

On my full-time job, I was working on an app where I had to use the JavaScript includes() method.

The app was sent for UAT, manager applauded the effort of whole team.

After an hour, the user complained about not being able to submit a form.
I checked, it was working.
But the user was using the app on IE and it failed because the includes() method is not supported by IE and the default browser in that company is IE, so almost all of the users have to use IE and our app has to be compatible with it.

It was a quick fix, but the overall impression was negative.

We see and hear negative things about Internet Explorer, but still, it is being used, specially in corporate sector.

Did you face any such incident due to IE?

Java 13 is here!

It's official, Java 13 is finally here with new features/improvements. The last 4 releases including this one were pretty quick and most of the people are still working on the older versions.

Which version are you currently working on?
When are you planning to move to a newer version?

I am currently working on Java 8 and planning to move to Java 9 but I feel there's plenty to catch up.

Just need some basic guidelines.

What are some of the best practices for developing a Spring Boot app?

Mehmood — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 17:57:11 +0000

I am starting a side project which is basically a job portal, just for the sake of learning and adding it to my portfolio. It would be based on some of the technologies that I haven't worked on much including Spring Boot, React, GraphQL, etc.

Just wanted to know what would be some of the best practices to keep in mind when starting such project?

Different companies ask for a link to your github profile in job description. Do we need to show complete code of the projects done?
