Build an e-commerce site... with a twist - Web Dev Challenge S1E3

[@learnwithjason]

If you want to try your hand at the Web Dev Challenge, the hackathon is on now! lwj.dev/wdc-hackathon We've got the Algolia team standing by to support you and a community of devs who are excited to see what you build. Come create a new portfolio project and make some new connections!

[@dlprofitt]

Yo! Interested in having a random, fairly new, less than a year old developer come in and build utilizing ai to make it work? I'd love to come join, and I'm confident I can make it happen. Hit me up, if interested.

[@bryantmichael6863]

I would love to learn web dev,hook me up please 😢

[@muyiwaoyinloye5732]

A reality show of developers, by developers, for developers?? Subscribed!! Immediately! Please continue to do more

[@learnwithjason]

thank you! will do. more on the way!

[@jdobb]

Same. Sipping my coffee wondering how I haven't found this before.

[@code_raiderr]

@@learnwithjason I saw this and was like hell, this is something I never knew I'd love, the concept is great!!!!!

[@saidabedi2836]

My takeaway is that true senior developers aren’t afraid to say I don’t know and have a great attitude struggling to figure out problems. Loved this episode!

[@jeremiahthompson82]

Amazing. Thanks for writing this

[@codewithteemah]

So true 😊

[@TrostCodes]

This was SO much fun, thanks again for having me on, Jason! Was a blast working alongside such incredible devs ❤

[@joshuaberrios]

Your project was very you. As I was watching and I peeped the Nan from a distance in one of the interview shots of you, I was like "Alex is going to kill it with the creativity despite the limitation of time and overall tool challenge".

[@AllHandsOnEveryThing]

Yours was cool!🙌 Like the darkweb that you enter with a simple magic word😂😂

[@travelwolrd]

Which theme you use

[@travelwolrd]

Which font you use.

[@jankohlbach]

love the show, loved to see you on there 🤌🏼

[@zacay5717]

Alex is that kid that always says he bombed an exam and ends up curving the entire class. 😂 this was a lot fun to watch. Thanks everyone!

[@imanitheanimator5729]

Very true he was the best

[@vee-ayo]

ikrrrr😮😮😮

[@lawrenceokeogheneinyang6526]

Alex is someone who has fun coding. Just give him a concept and he flies away with it. Solves the issue so he doesn't fail the task and just have fun adding more features. I love this episode and you just got a subscriber!

[@codewithteemah]

true 😊

[@Ed-rp1yw]

Show host: So today the focus will be on Algolia! Alex: Lemme spend 4 hours rendering a custom 3D model using threejs

[@learnwithjason]

RIGHT?!

[@TrostCodes]

I might have misunderstood the assignment...

[@KemalArdilGulez]

@@TrostCodes quite au contraire.

[@nobytes2]

Dude said algolia api was a nice ux so it took a few minutes to setup win win lol

[@mrlloyd149]

absolute madlad

[@justinekenyansa]

I loved Shaundai's calmness and confidence she puts forward. We all have than one friend with Alex's tactics. "I don't know much" when they're geniuses

[@kessekobbina]

It's interesting to see senior developers struggle like junior developers, which is very relatable.

[@furkandogan4623]

5:20 "I'm not one of those developers that work fast" HE SAID and built a functional app (I'd consider them 2 apps), created a character using CSS, built 3d designs on Blender, and did it all within 4 hours. The first two apps were like "All right, I maybe could do it" but Alex brought it up a notch. Jason's app was unlucky in this episode. It was a great idea and a great execution, I would love to spend hours on it, but unfortunately for Jason, Alex overshadowed everyone.

[@diceymaan]

This series is pure gold! Also gives juniors a more realistic view of how senior devs work, that they aren't some higher sentient, just folks who've been wrong thousands of times 😄

[@learnwithjason]

💯

[@tommyopeters3641]

This might be the longest, but possibly best advert I've seen for a dev tool. Just Nick Vlku's attitude about the product sold me already tbh.

[@oussamasethoum1665]

I love how you keep upgrading the show and inviting good and known developers to participate. I really enjoy watching your videos and learn a lot from them.

[@learnwithjason]

thanks so much!

[@blesyn]

A junior web developer here (still learning though 😀). I subscribed immediately. KZbin just knows how to recommend what I want to see.

[@rajausamah7569]

Alex did all this in four hours is just mind blowing if i imagine myself doing something like this four hours would go trying to center a button 😂

A dev reality show… let’s go💪🏽💪🏽

[@StayMellowBeEasy]

I love that these episodes put me onto tools that I don’t know about and can’t wait to utilize and play with. Amazing series for engineers in the beginning of their careers.

[@muyiwaladipo6469]

My favourite episode so far... Everyone's ideas were dope. Alex's definitely my favourite with Jason coming next. Love from 🇳🇬

[@NaviLORD]

My naija bro

[@blesyn]

I love Shaundai’s confidence . Alex, this is for you 🌹. You’re a genius manh! Alex did all that within four hour and I’m here struggling for days to clone my church website 😅

[@beecrofttobiloba1869]

Crazy 😂

[@DevMarkson]

I absolutely loved the whole idea of coming together to build something with such seamless integration. Shaundai's confidence is truly inspiring, she shows it effortlessly and proves she's at the top of her game! Really cool stuff. I'm definitely going to check out Algolia, it seems like a really cool tool too.

[@TheOnlyIchiban]

I like this format where it shows the process they go through to build the challenge and their thoughts during it. Makes for very engaging and dramatic content lol

[@stevensoftware-engineer6997]

I've been waiting for a show like this all my life thanks Jason for the best show ever for software developers 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@abdulrafiuabdulazeez9924]

I did not see Alex's work coming. That was great. He's also a very funny guy, which made it even more fun.

[@mrfabulous3303]

Please continue this series this will be a hit one day

[@JOSEPHEMMANUEL-u7u]

i totally love the energy in the room...it kind of increased my interrest as a fullstack dev, i think i have to go back and continue LOL🙂🙂

this channel came out of no where! I'm loving it!

[@dalcod]

Jason is very talented, and very creative to come up with this format.

[@solomonnjogo5484]

I don't think anybody else has mastered the art of communal programing omre than these guys!

[@afiffarakhan4992]

Never crossed in my mind before, this is probably content that we need right now. I'm like almost never personally like the concept of reality show because I can't tell if it's legit or scripted, mostly for enternainment purpose sometimes I enjoyed it. But, this one have it's own potential, I'm curious of what's coming in the next content like new chellanges etc. Carry on.

[@Foxsterdota]

These videos are a joy to watch! So glad episode 1 randomly decided to show up in my recommendations when it was released. Keep it up!

[@andymwes]

Randomly stumbled upon your channel and I'm glad this is the 1st episode that introduced me to it. Instant sub. great content!

one thing for sure it really peaks my motivation i feel like im the only one who feel like what the hell im doing untill it did it. great real web programming

[@deborahadekore3890]

This is such an amazing video series! I just started taking programming seriously so I am very beginner (tips will be very helpful if you can on this journey) but this video opened my eyes to the possibilities of what I can do with code! So many wonderful creative ideas using Algolia. Keep up the good work.

Hey jason!! The projects are sometimes waay more amazing to just watch. We sometimes wanna learn how they are created as well. Can the web devs create tutorials of the projects? Even if it is made after the video?

[@mercytum7045]

[@martybando1668]

Alex, as a fellow over-engineer I understand. I’ve noticed we either over-engineer in 3 directions by either exceeding the app functionality goal with useless features while poorly focusing on the integral parts, rebuild a way to build an app(me🤦🏾‍♂️), or over invest in to one (typically none core) feature. The idea of switching pages based on prior search results is interesting af, cheers mate🥂

[@TrostCodes]

Haha thanks Marty! Glad others out there feel the same desire to do all of the fun stuff that isn't technically the main thing. Core features are for other developers, I'm here for the ✨nonsense✨

[@3unem452]

loved Jason's Idea 💡

[@friendly__drone9352]

This was a great episode! it's so fun seeing people I follow on Twitter sitting in front of the code and struggling like the rest of us. Nick was such a resource and sleeper-salesman. I want to try Algolia for something now. it would be cool to have some Netflixers battle eachother. Primeagen (former), Shaundai, Trashdev etc.

[@RobertGroves]

Would love to see an alt cut (maybe just for subscribers) that shows more of the upfront talk given by the sponsor to the devs before the challenge begins, in this case more from NIck. I imagine there has to be more of that pre-game info and Q&A between Nick and all the participants before planning start time that is just cut for time. Looking forward to the Web Dev Challenge Hackathon kick-off call on Friday.

[@realmumptastic]

This was a ton of fun! Awesome job to all the devs!

[@augustineawuori95]

[@shrutikapoor08]

Wow! Impressive you all. And Alex! Are you kidding me? Who are you? A wizard?

[@cinnamon3556]

i know its probably good for retention to not tell us what people’s plans are/what they are working on so we have to watch till the end but it also makes the first half of the video slightly confusing, i mean its mostly people cracking jokes about their projects which i want to know what they planned to see how well it got executed- idk its just a thought, other than that i love this series, keep it up man!
