uclusion_web_ui VS coding-interview-university

It's been a long road getting Uclusion's UI right and it's still changing as we get more feedback. We're also finding this level of polish in React to be very challenging - see https://github.com/Uclusion/uclusion_web_ui if you are interested in the underlying code.

Both my co-founder and I transitioned from backend to full stack in order to be able to contribute to https://github.com/Uclusion/uclusion_web_ui What we learned is that the best way to learn front end is by doing. And this is confirmed by the fact that twice now front end people that wanted more experience in React or Material UI (cause every Javascript library is its own universe) have contributed to that repo for free.

You can check out https://github.com/Uclusion/uclusion_web_ui to see some of our struggles. I'd say:

Not made for practice but this is production code you can look at https://github.com/Uclusion/uclusion_web_ui

Confused what you mean by context shouldn't be used for frequently updated variables. How frequently? We are using context for exactly your use case https://github.com/Uclusion/uclusion_web_ui/tree/master/src/contexts all over and it works great - especially in conjunction with AWS Amplify message bus.

Some people who wanted to better learn UI just volunteered to help me with https://github.com/Uclusion/uclusion_web_ui for free. I'm not saying you should do that (they were past code camp kind of level) but their idea to volunteer for projects to improve their UI skills seems valid.

See the original code here. In my case I also have a fancy ScrollContext to scroll to the id but if you are only trying to get to the tab you don't need that.

You can use promises and Promise.all to load all of this data instead of looping through an array. Or you can chain the promises so they run sequentially if you want to avoid making all the network calls at once. See usage of globalFetchPromiseChain in https://github.com/Uclusion/uclusion_web_ui/blob/master/src/api/versionedFetchUtils.js

In order to help with the learning curve in React, Uclusion uclusion_web_ui is now public with a Readme to many articles on Dev.To explaining its code.

I stumbled upon a github post called coding interview university and with the shiny object syndrome I have, I kinda want to ditch the roadmaps and start something new like this one in github, or the random dude I found in YouTube, telling his audience that he passed the FAANG interviews. The annoying part of me is that whenever I hear stuff like “I passed the FAANG”, I will immediately try to follow their path because their method works for them or to some other people
