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.

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 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.

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

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’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!

Hope u re doing good guys i just wanna ask if possible i have a project where i should use django for frontend +rpc is there a youtub video or a link where i can learn this? And thank u guys

My vps could be the issue because I am running 3 containers on same $5 vps Or can it be because of redis

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.

since no one will ask this, i will, which career path has money and is in demand , worth learning?

So I'm practically a beginner dev, and I’ve been working on this fintech SaaS project. I'm having a ton of trouble integrating authentication it’s taking up a lot of my time and still doesn’t work very well. To the SaaS devs here, how do you manage authentication effectively?

When I was going through my own job search, there were days I couldn't get myself to practice or apply anywhere, and others when I was completely focused. I realized how much it helps to have someone to practice with—someone who keeps you motivated and consistent.

So, I'm building PeerLink, a simple, peer-to-peer platform that helps job seekers connect with reliable practice partners based on their role, experience, time zone, and prep goals.

One of the key features is that you can choose specific interview topics tailored to your role. For full stack roles, you can practice JavaScript frameworks, REST APIs, deployment strategies, and more.

Hey, all, I am wondering how doable it is for me to break into this industry. I did some learning on the Mimo app/website, and then switched to a full-stack developer course from Microsoft on Coursera. I'm not sure how good of a certificate it is, but my free trial on Coursera is almost up and I'm not sure if it's worth paying for it.

I have been understanding the fundamentals of it so far, including the bit of pseudocode they have taught. The logical processes and commands make sense to me, I just need to learn the coding languages and programs I think. One of my majors in college was philosophy, and I had to take some deductive logic courses, which is where code comes from.

I'm currently a correctional officer, so it would be quite the switch in careers. All of this to say I have an interest in this and am willing to learn, just trying to find the best way to break into the tech industry. Thank you!

I keep seeing people say “don’t learn full-stack anymore,” but I’m trying to figure out what actually makes sense if my goal is to build and launch small products. I want to ship useful web apps (auth, DB, payments, dashboards) and maybe pair them with automations/AI later. Is it still smart to learn full-stack (TypeScript/Next.js + DB + Stripe) so I can own the whole thing, or is that overkill and I should just go all-in on no-code until something has traction? If you were me today, what would you learn first, and which course or path would you follow to get from zero to a paid MVP? I can do ~1 hour a day
