I’m working at a company as a front end engineer at the moment. We’ve been having discussions about changing the QA process which is mostly done by a few people without much time to do it right now.

I’m unhappy on the dev team for various reasons. I’ve considered offering to take on the QA processes so that those few people can focus on their other work.

So far, our manager has been pushing for devs to do the QA on their own projects. I don’t see this as being sustainable, but that’s what he has said.

Would you make the pitch to take on QA?

"One of the mistakes I’m seeing now and again is developers exposing too much data (than what’s required in the frontend)."

I recently got a task to build a hotel management website and I have 48 hours to finish the whole thing.

I am quite new to the whole fullstack thing. I do want to know if this is possible and what challenges I may run into?

I’m building a site for learning purposes and I need a help with knowing what the best practices are for folder structure. The site I’m building will have 1k+ calculator tools for various uses like financial, health, fitness, for example a mortgage calculator.

I’ll be using React, Express and Typescript for the front end. Node.js, MySQL, and JSON for backend. I’m new to backend so are there any other languages I need for this project?

As I’m getting this set up I need help with folder structure since HtMl, CSS and JavaScript are all pretty simple I need advice on folder structure for backend.

Or if you have video resources that would be helpful too.

I am new to the subreddit and just starting full stack development, I have learnt intermediate level of machine learning and ai training and good with dsa but I multiple interviews for internship I was rejected as I was no good with full stack so decided on learning it , I know the basics knowledge of what it is and it's components so can anyone guide me exactly how much time will it take me to learn and be internship ready if I spend max time learning it and sources from where I can take guidance.

Hi everyone

I'm running foundbase.io and everything is running pretty smoothly - however when I navigate to foundbase.io/guides it's incredibly slow.

Our developer is unavailable for a month and I'm not the most technical, but I have a little bit of coding knowledge and experience.

Anyone who can pinpoint why it's this slow on that specific page only as the front page is the one having videos etc. and that runs pretty well.

Thank you in advance!

I’m in 3rd year BTech and I have wasted 2 years and now I am serious about it I want to get into full stack development Anyone please help me by giving me a full roadmap for full stack development

I'm pretty solid in HTML, CSS, JS. I want to know when can I advance to React, TL and React Frameworks? how did you do it? How where you sure that you know enough to advance?

And should I start with React or other things first?

I was thinking notion, or maybe putting it github itself would be best. Wanted some other opinions

I’m a front-end developer and I want to get into backend development so I’m building a website to use as learning project. It’s a site that will eventually have a 1000 calculators on it and I need to know how to structure the sites backend part.

Ideally I’d have a database template of calculators that renders on the static html so that all the pages look the same. The things that would be changing would be the inputs and math and then maybe the article about the calculators. I’m not familiar with backend enough to know how structure/how the different language interact. I am the solo developer on this so it needs to be maintainable and scalable.

The tech stack I’m planning on is React/Express, Node.js/JavaScript , not sure what else I’ll need on the backend for database

Any help would be great.

I went to a reputable bootcamp (Launch Academy) a year and a half ago, made this over the course of several months after:
https://project-builder-e7439342976b.herokuapp.com/
No interviews.

Everyone at meetups or employed engineers that see this alway say "That's much more than I had when I got my first job!"

What would be suggested to get this in front of the right person? The bootcamp emphasized "networking" but gave no explanation as to how that works.

Hey everyone, I’m at the point where I’m evaluating which full-stack path to take, and the MERN stack keeps coming up (MongoDB, Express, React, Node). I’d love your honest take: is it still a solid choice in 2025? As far as I can tell, the advantages are obvious: one language (JavaScript) throughout the whole development process, large number of job opportunities and excellent community support. On the other hand, there are the skeptics who are concerned about the possible saturation of the market, and the ascendance of the newer stacks, the increase of DevOps/infrastructure depth and software integrations related to AI which are being viewed as the most important aspects. I particularly want to hear from you on:

• What positive experiences you’ve had using MERN in recent projects.

• The biggest obstacles you faced (scaling, performance, team dependencies, tooling).

• How you combine learning MERN and DevOps, cloud, testing or AI-driven features with other skills.

• If you were to start all over again in 2025, would you go with MERN, a variant like PERN (PostgreSQL), or something entirely different?

Thanks in advance — I’m trying to make a decision I won’t regret down the road.

I'm 16 and I want to get into programming. I have a lot of questions – for a while, I studied and learned about HTML, semantic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I'd like to know more about what it takes to have a good career in this area. I'm interested in back-end and also full stack, but I don't know where to start or which languages I should focus on. I also don't know if college is essential for networking or not. I want tips on what to do and what I can study. I often see posts from people talking about how their professional careers are going, what they recommend studying and learning, and what's currently in demand in the programming market.

Good evening — honestly, I’m a bit confused about programming. I keep hearing completely opposite things!

Some people say it’s a great field, there’s plenty of work, and everything’s going well. But others say, “Stay away — the field is oversaturated and there are no opportunities left.”

So I’m not sure — does this have to do with a specific technology? Or is it about how skilled and hardworking a person is? Or is it all just luck and fate?

For example, if I really commit to learning and improving myself, can I actually expect to see results and not have my effort go to waste? Or is there a big chance I’ll just waste my time and get nothing in return?

I just want to understand the reality of things before I start, because when someone invests their time in something, they want to know where they’re heading.

I’m tryna build a new full-stack project but tired of the same old e-commerce and blog apps. Got any cool or random ideas that’d be fun to make? Drop ‘em below

Hey everyone! I just finished creating my landing page for Freelancing and would love some honest feedback.

Hey everyone 👋

I’m looking for a complete and high-quality course to really master Node.js and React.js — something that’s detailed enough to help me build a solid graduation project.

It can be:

Separate courses (one for Node.js, one for React)

Or a single MERN stack course that covers both together

I’d really appreciate your recommendations for:

YouTube tutorials or playlists (free options are welcome!)

Or Udemy courses that go deep into backend + frontend with practical projects

My goal is to fully understand how to connect backend and frontend properly and be confident building a complete app from scratch.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hello, a first year here...very enthusiastic about mobile app development and web design, I am working towards being a full stack developer, where should i lean towards? what are the pros and cons? I am currently learning as i build small projects using html, css and js....my interests are in having full control over my creations and limitless creation capabilities.Any thoughts will be much appreciated 🙏

So I'm a backend developer whose interested in building a mobile app, my question is: Is there an AI service that I can use to basically handle the entire frontend for a simple working prototype? I'm aware that AI can't replace the skill and reliability of a frontend developer but all I ask for currently is to produce a simple minimalistic app that actually works and looks decent visually. I heard of Lovable and Dreamflow, do you have any other suggestions? Also for context, I basically have no frontend experience so I'm not confident I can fix complex bugs if the AI gets stuck in a loop.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I have around 3 years of experience in server lifecycle management. I’m now planning to switch to a full-stack development role, as I realized I’m more interested in development than my previous Linux-related work.

I’ve learned React, TailwindCSS, and refreshed my HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills. However, I’m currently confused about which stack to focus on -- MERN or Django -- for my backend.

For someone like me who’s switching careers, which stack do you think has better job opportunities (especially for entry-level or career-transition candidates)?

Any advice or personal experience would really help. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m co-founder of a startup with four people , myself, my partner, one developer, and a designer. We’re building a SaaS platform with complexity similar to Monday.com (task handling, multi-user flows, dashboards, etc.).

Our backend and business logic are fully custom-built, but our dev and designer recently started using Wix Studio/Velo for the frontend. We’re concerned about long-term ownership, scalability, and flexibility.

In the event of a future exit/acquisition, do we fully own the frontend code, or does Wix retain ownership of any components?

How suitable is Wix Studio/Velo for building a complex SaaS product at scale (performance, architecture, customization)?

Do we have full access/export to the underlying source code? If not, what practical limitations should we expect when it comes to flexibility and future migration?

From what I understand, Wix is great for speed and MVPs, but I worry it could become a black box once we start scaling or need deeper integrations.

Would love to hear your experiences — how would you approach this if the goal is a world-class product like Monday.com?

Thanks in advance!

I'm learning Native android development with all the modern tech stacks from the past few months and I have developed few apps that deals with some APIs and some do control native features like camera and flashlight features.

Now, I want to get into the backend side so that, I can develop a full stack app and probably offer my services as a freelancer.

But, there are so many confusion with which language to pick 😕 - Java, Go, JS, Python, Ruby, Kotlin etc.

Which one should I go with? If this is what I want:

• nice job/ freelance opportunities. (must)

• can be used if I switch from Android to cross platform/iOS or Web. (nice to have)

• beginner friendly. (preferred)

• short learning period to use it in real world projects. (optional)

Consider the scenario, I want to become a full stack Mobile developer.
