iPad Kiosks Replacing Full Kiosk Builds Is This Actually a Real Shift?

Seeing more clients move from full custom kiosks to iPad-based setups.

It makes sense on paper faster deployment, lower cost, easier software updates.

But once you get into real deployments, the conversation shifts away from software pretty quickly.

Mounting, cable routing, enclosure choice, public durability… that becomes the real design problem.

Curious if others are seeing the same trend in commercial installs.

I know competition is crazy, but I want to improve strategically instead of just blindly applying again next year.

For those who made it (or even reached interviews):

What do you think matters most for STEP? (projects / DSA / resume / referrals?)

How strong does DSA need to be at this stage?

Are there specific types of projects that stand out?

Any honest feedback or guidance would really help.

Thanks 🙏

There’s so much advice online about learning coding, design, marketing, etc., but it’s hard to know what actually matters.

For people working remotely right now:

What skills are in real demand?

What should beginners avoid wasting time on?

Are non-coding roles still growing?

Trying to focus my time better, so any insights would help.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been learning JavaScript recently and started working with DOM manipulation. I understand the basics like getElementById, querySelector, and event listeners, but I’m getting confused when trying to update elements dynamically based on user actions.

For example, I’m trying to build a small feature where clicking a button adds new items to a list. I can add elements, but managing updates and keeping things clean is where I’m stuck.

Here’s a simplified version of what I tried:

JavaScript

const btn = document.getElementById("addBtn");

const list = document.getElementById("list");

btn.addEventListener("click", () => {

const li = document.createElement("li");

li.textContent = "New Item";

list.appendChild(li);

});

This works, but I’m not sure if this is the right approach for bigger applications.

How do you usually manage dynamic UI updates in vanilla JS?

When should I move to frameworks like React?

Would appreciate some guidance or best practices 🙏

I was working on a small project where I built a basic feature using JavaScript and a simple backend, and then tried to containerize it and add a CI/CD pipeline.

What stood out was how different the effort felt.

While building the feature, most of my time went into writing logic and structuring the code. But during the CI/CD + Docker setup, I spent a lot more time dealing with environment issues, configuration mismatches, and getting different tools to work together.

At this scale, it felt like the majority of the work was troubleshooting rather than building.

I’m trying to understand whether this is just a beginner experience with these tools, or if this overhead is an inherent part of working with infrastructure and pipelines.

In real-world projects, does this balance shift over time, or is a significant portion of the work still focused on debugging and maintaining setups?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently in my 3rd year of college and trying to balance multiple things at once — mainly DSA (currently doing DP), learning web development (just reached JavaScript), and also thinking about moving towards DevOps in the future.

The problem is I feel a bit stuck when it comes to managing time and deciding what to prioritize. Some days I focus too much on DSA and ignore development, and other days it’s the opposite. Because of this, I feel like I’m not making solid progress in either.

My college schedule is also pretty packed, and I try to go to the gym regularly, so that adds another constraint.

I wanted to ask:

How do you balance DSA and development effectively?

Should I focus on one thing at a time or continue both together?

At what point should I start applying for internships?

If someone is aiming for DevOps, how much focus should be on DSA vs development?

I’m not looking for a perfect plan, just want to understand what has worked for others in a similar situation.

Thanks in advance!

I’m a student getting into building bigger projects, and I keep running into this dilemma.

Sometimes I feel like I should design everything properly (modular code, scalability, clean architecture, etc.), but other times it feels like I’m wasting time and should just build a working version first and improve later.

In college, we’re usually taught “best practices,” but when I try to apply them, progress becomes really slow. On the other hand, when I just hack things together, it works but feels messy and not “engineer-like.”

So in real engineering jobs, how do you decide:

  • when something is “good enough”
  • when it’s worth investing time into proper design
  • and when you’re just overengineering?

Would love to hear how experienced engineers approach this in actual projects.
