Generally early stage companies tend to do these mistakes of putting secret credentials in their app.
Reverse Engineer app.js
Main Post:
Hi all,
I have been a developer for last 17 years and currently been tasked to understand an application which has lot of reactjs code.
I understand app.js file has most of code for it.
I would really appreciate if someone can guide me with following please
a) what is best online editor to read app.js code
b) suppose there is button on my front-end which pulls data from api to be rendered by reactjs. I want to finally learn, how to reach snippet of code executed behind the button. I understand it might not be easy but appreciate any guidance on how to get started on this path.
Thank you very much.

This is pretty awesome.
What programming language does it output the reverse engineered wasm. Is it rust?

Thoughts on Application Engineer as first job?
Main Post: Thoughts on Application Engineer as first job?
Top Comment: 100% depends on the company and the role. One of my previous jobs was as an AE for a semiconductors company dealing mainly with a line of MCUs for audio applications. While customer support was a part of the job, my main role was to develop demo kits and base projects for potential customers. This included designing the PCB, writing the firmware and integrating third-party algorithms, among other things. Being audio it also required some analog electronics and DSP knowledge, so I'd say I got some multidisciplinary experience. My advice would be to ask the manager and thenrest of the team what kind of work you should expect.
Applications engineer as first job? Would it be hard to transition to being an actual embedded software engineer?
Main Post:
Hi, I'm going to be interviewing for "Applications Engineer", which is a type of job I just learned about. I am new grad with bachelors in computer engineering.
The job description includes "Design and test solutions" , "Test and harden existing features through firmware and hardware changes", and requires knowledge of C, Linux, networking.
Has anyone worked as this role before and can tell me more about it? My original goal was to be an official embedded systems software engineer / firmware engineer, will it be hard to transition from this job?
Thank you
Top Comment: Application engineers usually do two things. Support customers to a more in-depth level, and design stuff to showcase the applications of your product (reference designs, evaluation kits, create demo projects, etc plus supporting documentation). That being said, your tasks will vary widely depending on the position and company.
Tell me about your career path after starting as an Application Engineer

I have experience under my belt dealing with pump driven motors and engines. I wanna further grow in this industry but it looks like they just want me on order entry nothing more. I am only here to check customer orders and make certain they obide NFPA which is implemented into our pricebook. I configure the pumps. Customers can also purchase controllers which I also configure into the system.
I don’t assist customers in creating their PO. They just send it to me to enter into the system. Been here for 2 years now.
Career wise I feel like I am not moving. I did recently get my Lean Belt. Thinking about my Green Belt too

What is an Applications Engineer?
Main Post:
Hi guys,
I'm an entry-level job seeking mechanical engineer and I realized that I have a huge problem.
I am the first engineer of my family and, while my support system is great, I have zero guidance in the industry. This year has been pretty grueling, I have put maximum effort into job seeking with little to no result. Believe me, I have re-evaluated my strategies multiple times, self reflected, tried many tactics and to be honest, it is a jungle out there and whatever this post is not about that.
I put the main question in code block so you can skip the extras if you want.
I would like to talk more about my absence of guidance regarding engineering things. I have never admitted it aloud but I really don't know what I want to do (which is a shame because, looking at my job search, it's not like I really have a choice). That is the root of the problem. I definitely know what I don't want to do: Civil, Electrical, Industrial, HVAC, etc...
But even then, I don't feel confident with my knowledge on what some of those are and I don't trust me judgement. To be honest, I want to have a job that values creativity, risk-taking, problem-solving, handling pressure, communication skills, and has me working on something amazing. I sound self-entitled, I know. But I don't know if to stifle these feelings or not because some people say go for what you want and others say take what you can. This whole post-graduation experience has been really draining and confusing and I am not my best right now. I have all this drive to be the best I can be but I am stuck in this limbo. I feel like a Scalar. I'm sure I just need some direction. Wow, sorry for that and the feelings pouring.
Back to the question in the title. This is one of those examples on how I am so clueless that it is clipping my wings. I was on the phone with a hiring manager and he asked me if I even know what an Applications Engineer is? No, I don't know. Alright, then you should really look that up before the interview. (It is not to be mistaken for a software type job) I have searched and searched and nothing is consistent about defining that title. I read things about Material Handling (uh oh is that Industrial), or things like acts as an automation consultant to customers (Don't really understand and family doesn't either).This is the theme of most of my situations. 2 weeks ago I had waited 2 months for a phone interview just for the hiring manager to start by saying, " I took a look at your resume and I'm sure there is a mix up. This job isn't for you." (Distribution Engineer...) Again, clueless, confused, frustrated. That was my 2nd of two interviews in the last 6 months with 600+ applications since February. But just if you guys could give me some relief in this situation, it would save me so much worry. What the heck is an applications engineer.
(Also if there are any engineers that want to chat and kind of give me some advice or wisdom, that would be awesome).
Top Comment: An applications engineer is a customer-facing role where you provide support on the integration of your company's products into the customer's design. I am more familiar with the Electrical Engineering version of this, where you would do things like : generate application notes on how to implement specific functionality create demonstration hardware to exhibit some feature support customers when they encounter problems using your systems, including onsite support write documentation of datasheets and user guides work with marketing to determine what features are of interest for new products. I have seen two versions of applications engineers - field and factory. Field AEs spend more time on the road, and are more tied to sales. Field AEs are familiar with a broad category of the product portfolio, and often recommend products for specific applications to customers. Factory AEs spend majority of time in the main office, and are more aligned with marketing and design. Factory AEs are generally experts in a smaller subset of the company's products, and operate as a backup to the Field AEs for the more difficult problems. Sooo - pick your poison: Sales or Marketing ;) It's a nice role, IMO, if you have strong people skills but still want to do real engineering work (compared to Sales or Marketing, where the technical work is not as high a priority as the people skills).
