OTC CatchUp #108

Date: 03-12-2022

Duration: 3 hrs 12 mins

Topics Discussed

  • We helped Atharva Jadhav in figuring out how to begin backend development.

    • We suggested he either start with Flask or Express as a beginner.

    • We asked him to learn through YouTube instead of a course as it is free and he might learn something new while looking it up on YouTube instead of following a course.

    • Harsh Kapadia suggested a few YouTube Channels —

    • Yash Pimple suggested JavaScript Mastery channel.

  • We announced OTC Talks, talks which will happen before catchup once or twice a month.

  • Darshan Rander, Harsh Kapadia and Tushar Nankani talked about the difference between throttling and debouce.

    • Throttling is when you intentionally delay a call.

    • Debouce will merge multiple calls into a single one following some rules.

  • Rishit Dagli shared his CS theory notes.

  • Pranav Dani talked about an issue he was facing with JioFiber, where he couldn’t make a request to https://raw.githubusercontent.com domain.

    • He fixed it by changing his DNS to 1.1.1.1

  • Harsh Kapadia asked Tushar Nankani to write a blog from his tweets about his projects based on Web Animations.

    • Aditya Oberai said that blogs and Twitter are two different places as one caters to long-form content and the other short-form.

    • Darshan Rander added that how basics things might look there is someone out there who might need help with it.

  • Aditya Oberai explained why Appwrite has documentation to work with Docker. As it is easier to start with for beginners and Docker is also OCI compliant so if anyone else wants to use it somewhere else they can easily work with images as well.

  • Jay Kaku shared his experience at a CTF where they had a consistent rank of 8 in the first two rounds and could make it to finals because of semester exams.

  • We talked about the difference between VPN and WARP.

    • WARP finds a route to the destination server with lesser congestion.
