It's my first week working at shithole.co (can i say that?). My boss is a micromanaging asshole who knows the bare minimum re: programming. He thinks css is hard (no offense). I'm fresh outta college. He expects me to be able to do a very complicated api development through an equally complicated authorization process. Every fucking day "Is it working yet?" [This is my first week on the job]. I don't think he's read the documentation and I don't think he understands how to. As I am typing this out I realize I'm more educated than this dumb ass. Oh, some more context. Our senior dev is working on a more important project So we don't have time to bother him? So I am doing his job for 1/10 the cost. Oh, and i'm not allowed to contact him because he is too important. When the app inevitably crashes and no one knows how to fix it. I will give them my nutsack to swallow (can i say that?).

    Being good at CSS IS hard. Understanding CSS is easy. There is a difference. Quality markup and presentation deserves respect too.

    @smirving yeah, but you get my point though?

    You're fresh out of college, it may seem to you that you are more qualifed.

    But honestly, you should think twice before taking that at face value.

    What you don't know is more important than what you know.

    I find css incredibly hard haha. But then, I'm a Linux engineer and backend dev...

    Your first week is a pretty early time to make assessments. If you act on them, you're more likely to get fired and start your career with a black mark than to actually accomplish anything.

    I faced similar or say kinda more fucked up situation myself in my internship as blockchain developer last month. There was no senior blockchain dev in the company and I was working first-time on Fabric.
    As it turns out three of us interns were into this with basically same skill set and sure we got frustrated many times but we pretty much pulled it off gracefully.
    You can find help online , Google sure helps a lot and eventually

    CSS is hard man. I don’t know what you have been doing to say CSS is easy.

    @KAS89 maybe it’s because it’s what I have the most practice in. API calls, JavaScript, react etc - I’m baby level.

    @linuxxx me too! I take much more time to format something than It takes to create the server logic.
