HTML All The Things - Web Development, AI, and Developer Careers

Customer support can be one of the hidden "costs" of doing web development for clients. Without a dedicated support team, the IT support role often falls to the developer or freelancer that created the project. This great investment of time can often be overlooked by web developers that are looking to create more than they are to support. In this episode, Matt and Mike discuss some tips and tricks in 5 different areas of customer support including dealing with angry clients, ensuring that you're caring for yourself during all the stress, and ensuring that you know when to walk away.

With so many no-code tools available and the low-code industry starting to breach into more areas than ever, the industry is ripe for new innovations and services that bring the power of coding to the masses. While some programmers seem to be against no and low-code solutions, the market value on apps that service this section of the industry speaks for itself.

Time management is a challenging part of any developers' day. Between the coding work that needs to be done alongside planning, and support requests - getting ahead may seem impossible. For junior developers, the added challenge is that they're actively learning, while balancing all the things that come with job searching, working, and even traditional school. In this episode, Matt and Mike cover some time management tips and tricks for developers - with some specific ones in there for junior developers and their crazy schedules. You can find us on...

Mentors are key to a junior developer's success. They can help you learn skills a lot faster, can guide you to which skills to learn in the first place, or can even help in avoiding common pitfalls like tutorial hell. Just like teaching, mentoring can be done in a variety of ways - some better suited for certain types of learners than others. In this episode, Matt and Mike discuss all the ins and outs of mentoring, including giving code reviews, various teaching types, and much more. You can find us on...
