Ever have those questions, how do I X with Y?
Learning to code is hard, and once you've got a handle on it, it can be hard to recall everything you need all the time.
From personal experience, sometimes I'm doing a larger refactor and don't want to waste brain power context switching to fix something small.
Therefore, I've started working on How to X with Y, the goal is to provide easy access to those annoying questions:
- How do I reverse an array in Python
- How do I make a HTTP POST in TypeScript
- How do I generate a random number in Go
Let me know if you find it interesting!
This is a cool idea. How would it be searchable? Would I just enter the types of phrases you give as examples?
I'm curious how you're going to generate all the content. If you said you were focusing on one language or framework, I'd think it was do-able by one person. How are you going to get such a broad coverage of technologies?
Thanks!
Currently you can just search for a string included in the title, description or tags of a "how to". This will be improved later.
Good q. Currently I'm doing it myself but at some point I hope the community help out.
I'm a Ruby def and yeah def would appreciate some reference for this. My guess is that you'll be fighting in SEO against the (way more established) StackOverflow for these kind of questions.
Probably worth switching to server side rendering at some point for SEO purposes.
Yeah no doubt, but cheers!
