Sooooo this is the thing.

For a stupid fucking project at work we basically have to scrum manage a bunch of individual components on a rather large web app.

We start with the html and css and js bs and we all have to work on different sections of one page at a time. Large blocks right? Ok cool.

Originally I had suggested to build everything inside individual php files and then stack them up with require(). As fucking simple as fucking that. Except that the manager does not have php on her pc. The other two developer don't either. I am the only one that fucks with php OUTSIDE our fucking servers.

Go fucking figure...the lead developer does not fuck with php outside the servers.....man

So, because i know it would be a shitstorm with something as basic as installing i dunno...fucking xampp my manager said that she needs a different solution.

Fuck it...fine...whatever. i know go. So i make a fucking server wich upon being fired you can just code the templates and paste them where they need to go. Docs and everything..a sane folder structure and everything and a fucking pipleline for the assets and everything. I would have thought that shit was good enough but I even added a cmd tool that merges all the fucking html files together into one html file with all the shit included.

All in Golang. It works, its fast and i can just give them the fucking folder with the exe and it will work.

I dunno if this was the best way to do it. But it took me maybe 20 mins to do it and it works.

I would have expected our manager to be impressed but she legit did not gave two fucking shits about the fact that one of her developers is able to create this mini server for static sites shitstain project in 20 minutes.

Man I don't want praise. She thinks that jquery is the best thing in the world so I don't expect much. But shit man.......a better reaction would have been better. She basically went meh ok as long as it works.

I also showed them a demo of a flutter project to replace the shitty ass webview filled school app that they have for android and ios. Shit is native and it looks beautiful. Ask me what she said.

Go on, fucking ask me.

She said tha if it would take me much time to continue on that the she would rather leave it to the third party vendor that currently makes the app.

I told her that such shitty app costs the school 40 fucking thousand dollars a year that I could do in a fucking month, which would also be better since it would raise the salaries of me and the other 2 developers and will more importantly make us more valuable to the school.

Said that she would think about it because we have a lot of projects.

I
Fucking
Hate
It

When someone fucks with my ability to make more money. I hate it fam. And i fucking despise being limited by other people.

Fuck this week.

I am never gonna grow in here. Ever. But it pays the bills so fuck it.

    I know how it feels... In my case by boss is impressed but even though I'm building a system that replaces a commercial solution that is also $40k/y the company can't do anything because I'm already the highest payed dev (low 5 figures...)

    They are gonna lose me as soon as a new opportunity shows up!

    Hang up there buddy, a better opportunity might come up!

    Hooooo damn I can’t stop laughing at “jQuery is the best thing in the world”.
    You obviously are ruining your potential.
    Hold on buddy, I hope you’ll fine a better ship with a better captain.

    @AleCx04 @benj don't think "might", think "will" because for people like you it's just a matter of time. I seriously have almost never been in this situation. The rare times it did happen to me I left. Maybe it's the generation gap,. When I was young, which is a long time ago, managers and leads gave a shit, people with skills were valued, solutions are designed to maximize what resources are available, even taking yearly growth factor into consideration

    Now managers think everyone can be a developer that they don't value whoever they have right now and most leads don't think about performance anymore because hey if it's slow then throw in some more CPU and RAM or add in more VM/cloud instance. What a joke! I really fucking hate these kind of people!

    @LrdShaper it really sucks man. I never get the chance to do anything interesting. The lead sometimes pulls me out of what she has me doing to do some backend stuff but even then it takes us two very little to finish a task and then we get bored. He wants to use all this new stuff that I know but she is kinda scared of change.
