In 2030: How about we bundle sqlite in the browser so you can store and run your entire app in the browser natively. 😂

You have to be willing to learn. Especially if you get into a tech company. You could probably get to a retail company and become senior dev, I don't know.
But if you get to a tech company, there's probably some apps you will be tasked to maintain. They were built by other people, following certain company policies and standards.
If you're a good developer, you will be able to read such code, understand it and maintaining it is not a problem for you. Your ability to deliver in your assigned tasks should enable you rise the ranks. But you have to start from somewhere.

You're the one assuming you can do it. You need experience to properly do it, not taking stakeholders through textbook examples of stakeholder engagements.

This is where you show what you're bringing to the table and not what you're taking from it.

Why are people assuming if you go from school to a workplace you are incapable to do a client meeting or do an SRS?

There are exceptions of course

Some jump straight to Senior Dev from school while others get stuck at internships, others straight to Junior Dev... etc

Sticking to conventions on how logic flows helps out a lot when picking up a project. This one for instance adds two new things, the modules dir at the root and the exa dir

A tech company will always have certain internal standards. Even if it is a copy paste of MVC or modified in a certain way, because devs may come and go but company products remain. These products have to remain operational and optimum regardless of who the current product owner is. If your product is a SAAS, you have customers utilising your apps in production. A new dev cant come and just make push their code to the master branch. Some trust has to be established. Make PRs for all changes you're doing, a senior dev will verify your work. If your work is consistently good, you'll definitely become senior dev. It's not political, it's about quality assurance.

And what's the problem if someone actually shows he brings all that to the table? Straight from school? I have seen it with my eyes

The only way you can be a senior dev straight from Uni/College is in your own company. And even then, it will be a disservice to your company.
Being a senior dev is not just writing code. There's policy formulation, client meetings/requirements gathering etc.
You can't climb a tree from the top

No dispute about this, but industry experience ni muhimu for successful senior role.

PHP Kenya

27 Oct 2023 09:13

Totally agree with this, the path to senior has to involve some industry experience.

PHP Kenya

27 Oct 2023 09:12

I don't believe in one being a senior dev straight from school. I see it as a lie perpetuated by our industry. Let's be real, there is more to writing code overnight; meetings, sow, brp, lld docs, client trainings etc

Does anyone need a usb dock with 11 ports also compatible with MacBook?

It has been overcomplicated... Downside of using this is how should upgrades be done to the template in the future as the exa directory is not a vendor folder?

PHP Kenya

Humans can never have a one size fits all. That would be killing creativity and improvements.

some devs love convention over configuration, then there is this guy plus the 72 stars.


plus the default Laravel folder structure is not agreed but rather differently opinionated.

That's where the logic will live. There is also another package in use to handle validations.

I think it will be helpful if you point out some specifics with the code as not everyone will know what you are referring to without examples
