Web Hosting Question

jon2328 — Sat, 13 Jun 2020 21:14:46 +0800

1. Does technology stack matter for web hosting? for example i have nodejs as back-end , can i find any hosting company? or specific nodejs web hosting service?
2. front-end and back-end mean 2 hosting? or can be placed together?
3. Do we just send them our source code? or they let us access their server and we developer upload and run our file?
4. Same as question 1 but for database

Thank you

Help evaluate my worth(Programmer)

jon2328 — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 21:26:02 +0800

I am a fresh graduate programmer who just worked for 3month(full) + 3month(intern) in my current company
i am building a framework for them that it can build website without technical skill, like how wix work but catered toward my company business nature(industrial CRUD)
i am a solo man in my team with 1 leader, i am the full stack developer where i handle most part of the development from start till end and without programming guidance( i am the only one who know how to do it in programming)
leader will provide me design of the system and decision of the design and development.

The framework is expected to finish very soon which will allow them to build and sell without coding again thought at first it seem many colleague of different team seem to hate me for that(killing their job) but i think they accepted the fact that it might not be perfect.

i am currently taking 3k and thinking should i jump to other company once i finish the framework without any raise or should i stay and wait. i am thinking about the view of many senior that we freshy like high pay in short term time but now i think i have advantage of knowledge and skill which unparalleled with the other( at least in my company non of my colleague can do it even the most senior of developer) , do you think that i am asking for better opportunity seem like too much?

Yes, if you wish to criticize me, please do, i wish to hear your reasoning and to wiser on decision making, thank you

Second hand Preve(List of question)

jon2328 — Sat, 07 Dec 2019 22:01:02 +0800

Hello all sifu and car master, i have exhausted quite a lot of thread but many question remain unanswered.

I am targeting to purchase second hand proton preve premium Cfe (year 2014 upward) because of late 2013 upgrade that make the car have 6 airbag

My Bio
Driven the waja mitsu engine as my first car, very good car so be honest except the turning radius and the A pillar super thick making the blind spot huge, Currently driving sage flx se 1.6 which i kind of hate the CVT low speed jerk
but i get used to it now so i think going into preve will not have big issue, and yes i can sacrifice to use the CVT if the bargain proven to be much better.

TECHNICAL OR METHOD QUESTION

1. Assume that the car i bought is after warranty period, can i still send it to proton service center to service? will the price be the same while in warranty? assume that while in warranty everything have to be paid.
2. Can you repair a second hand car to become like new? assume that i am willing to put quite hefty sum amount (let say 6k)?
3. If you can repair the car completely what will the procedure call? car overhaul? top overhaul? full overhaul? i need to term to tell the mechanic
4. Could you provide me a list of what i should change if i buying a second hand car that i am hoping to make it new? and if possible the price of it
list that i currently have
-engine oil + filter
-cvt oil + filter
-spark plug
-Tyre
-brake + oil
-power sterling oil
-battery
-fuel filter

5. i heard the infamous Oil Cooler Hose(OCH) and i saw a recall of it, i too saw that you can upgrade/update your ecu, will the service adviser prevent me from doing so? because i am not the first owner
6. i checked the agar agar price of service at proton website and saw that spark plug cost almost rm300 not sure if include labor, whoa my spark plug cost me rm 40 for my saga, i understand it might be iridium but i thought it goes up to rm150? do any of you know the exact model and brand so i could buy outside and change it myself?
7. Does turbo engine require special engine oil? or special viscosity? my usual goes is semi synthetic 10-30/40, going to full synthetic is occasionally
8. Can i go to proton service center and ask question to their staff? without bringing a vehicle there (before buying the car)

SUBJECTIVE AND LOGICAL QUESTION

1. I heard many issue regard proton preve and yea you probably thought why am i still buying it, in such price that give you C segment? seem nice
my calculation is like this, if i buy new saga for 40k, why not buy preve with 25k then prepare 15k for repair/service?
at the end of 40k i get C segment instead of A segment, i get to have more comfortable car, i get to have safer car(HPF,6 airbag),
i get to have higher engine power(although this doesn't appeal to me as i drive quite slow (90~110 on highway)

2. Yes i am taking more risk than new car, paying more on basic cost(worse fuel consumption, higher road tax fees, potential higher than expected repair cost, for sure worse resale value if you ever sell it, higher wear and tear cost)

3. But for some slight advantage such as i am still eligible for fuel subsidy(2020 fuel) because i am aiming for 1.6 engine, same with if i buy saga, lower insurance fees, lower bank loan fees(25000 * 4% is less than 40000 * 3%)

4. I am still single , but if the days come when i have kin bigger car sure is more convenient, i understand that i can just buy it later of my life but why not buy it now? if i intended to keep it, while their estimated cost is almost the same?

5. i know i am only comparing to the new saga, why not the other car? Axia is small, i am big person(size), bezza is more costly (48k) albeit more fuel saving, but it is like you paid for the price of fuel upfront, persona(50k+) much worse in money to value than others.

6. Most unlikely to die if i happen to get into deadly accident in such price range of car

Sorry for super long list of question, thank you for your patience and willingness to guide and share, THANK YOU!
