Mentor & Specialist on React JS, Redux, MERN Stack & LAMP Stack, Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (April 2016 - July 2018) for Visual Studio & Development Tools, a Guinness Record holder (Microsoft App Fest), a Postgraduate Distinction Degree in Cloud Computing and a Software Developer with 9+ years of industrial experience in Enterprise Web Application Development with specialisation in Front End Engineering, User Experience and Web App Development.

People call me Praveen or PravMan. I am an ailurophile, vegetarian, and an experimental chef. Well, I would like to experiment as much as I can, on food and my life. My body is made up of HTML & CSS, which is literally me! This defines me as a Full Stack Web Developer (Front End, Back End, Middleware, Whatever...).

Oh yeah, I am a highly motivated, passionate hard-core web developer with diverse experience in developing web applications, hybrid mobile apps, and cloud computing solutions ranging from working on cute layouts, payment gateways etcetera and the list goes on till making a clone, better than Facebook. Yup, you heard it right. I did make a clone of our favourite social network from scratch.

Once upon a time, I was consistently ranked as top 0.01% developers in Stack Overflow. I stopped contributing much after achieving 100k reputation points. I am also a Pluralsight Mentor, Thinkful Mentor and a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional in the field of Visual Studio & Development Tools.

This seems really crazy, why would they really do this 2 years ago?

Where are you connecting from?
praveenscience··on Twitter Auth / Login – Does someone have any issues?
Oh no, that's too bad. Even the status page shows everything is functional! Something's wrong. But the downdetector shows a lot of error reports.
praveenscience··on Twitter Auth / Login – Does someone have any issues?
I am in London. I checked the console, I got this error:

    {
      code: 353,
      message: "This request requires a matching csrf cookie and header."
    }
Tried with Incognito mode, other browsers, nothing helped!
praveenscience··on Show HN: PHP-ECertificate-Generator: Let's Generate ECertificates
Whenever I say that I love PHP, people start throwing stones at me, no idea what made people hate PHP. :(
praveenscience··on Show HN: PHP-ECertificate-Generator: Let's Generate ECertificates
This is my first Show HN. I tried revving up the forgotten language of PHP to create eCertificates. The full source code used in the YouTube Live Stream is available here and it's Open Source. Feel free to contribute to it. Looking for feedback on this from the community.
praveenscience··on Google Meet is free. Here’s how to master its most useful features
Whether it's Google Meet or Zoom, for a host, you need to sign up. For a participant, you don't need to. Correct me if I am wrong.
praveenscience··on We started and where we are today
For some reason it started popping up in my feeds, and it's very great to see. Plus, this is the time, most of them can achieve something in the quarantine period. :)
praveenscience··on You Get the Talent That You Pay For
Reminds me of the ship story: https://www.buzzmaven.com/old-engineer-hammer-2/
praveenscience··on Pluralsight Free Weekend Feb 2020
I have seen some people who are hunting jobs Feb, they can look at it and download the course too. BTW, you can download the course contents and watch it later.
praveenscience··on Pluralsight Free Weekend Feb 2020
Just give your personal email or create one and give it. :) I know it's kinda wrong, but yea, if you're privacy concerned, there are throwaway emails too.
praveenscience··on Never Buy an Apple iMac Without Fusion Drive
I thought most of the Windows Machines you buy come with 5400 RPM spinning 1 TB HDD and not much people fancy the 256 GB costlier version of SSD.

At least, this is the case in India.

praveenscience··on How to Build Electron Apps with React
My point of view: Even I have the same aversion towards TypeScript. I feel it's about the language construct. Coming from a PHP & JavaScript background, I love the duck typed languages - as opposed to the typed ones.

I love the freedom of assignment without declaring the data type and mixing & matching the assignment of different types of data and reusing the variable. I don't really see a reason why should I use TypeScript, if I am coding stuff with, say, Notepad or Vim.

praveenscience··on How to Grow Your Career When You Don’t Want to Be a Manager
Could be Forbes trying to make things really look catchy.
praveenscience··on Unpopular opinion? I don't do puzzle coding tests
It could be a good starting point, but it totally depends on how each of them look at it. Personally, I hate it too.
praveenscience··on Wildcard Routing Is an Anti-Pattern
The main issue here is the catch-all. Even I was suprised to find out this was an anti pattern. The concern here is unnecessary requests and routing for a brute force attacker.
praveenscience··on Samsung's 'Linux on DeX' project shuts down after just 11 months
Dupe? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21298796
praveenscience··on Google CEO Defends YouTube Practices
I felt the same but found axios to be trust worthy.
praveenscience··on My Terminal Setup: iTerm2 and Zsh
The main reason for this post is, Apple replaces bash with zsh as the default shell in macOS Catalina. Just so that people might find this easier to set up.
praveenscience··on Microsoft is finally fixing one of the worst things about Windows 10
I totally believe this is the case because of the variety of products and services that Microsoft provides, just a monopoly on my sense.

Plus you don't get Apple to make cheap computers or provide support like Microsoft does. :(

praveenscience··on How Does Codementor Work?
You have everything from the requests to process here: https://www.codementor.io/howitworks/mentorship. Did you see that already?

If yes, in simple terms, you set your budget and you try to bid yourself for the work. Then the customer chooses you, if you are convincing enough for them to take you.

You gotta start a timer and let the customer know that you are charging. Once you have done with your work, and the customer is happy, you may stop the timer and the timer works in steps of 15 minutes.

Then the customer leaves you a feedback and you will be credited with the amount agreed. I guess the payout duration will be about three to five days later in order to curb fraudulent accounts and you can request your pay once you reach a certain threshold.

praveenscience··on Google begins shutting down its failed Google+ social network
Well, I would say, Google+ didn't succeed, rather than Google+ failed. That's more better way of wording.
praveenscience··on Facebook Extending Markdown Support for Status Updates
WYSIWYG is kinda difficult for developers to control the allowed HTML part as it can generate a lot of gibberish and null characters. The same goes with contenteditable too. The good thing is, if you have Markdown, you can export it to HTML, text, doc, PDF, or any other format.
praveenscience··on Facebook Extending Markdown Support for Status Updates
Not exactly, it's been enabled for few folks in India. The screenshot I have posted is on Groups page on an Incognito Chrome window, where there are no extensions or plugins installed.

Have you heard of the one called x.ai?
praveenscience··on Image EXIF Orientation Bug – or Feature?
But what about the compatibility, graceful degradation, etc. of the browsers that yet don't support this feature? Won't that break everything else?
praveenscience··on Image EXIF Orientation Bug – or Feature?
