    SO and 500s are nothing.

    Not finding a source code of the library or having an obfuscated lib - that's a nightmare.
    500 just means 'see logs for errors'

    I'd like to add:

    - Liferay
    - obfuscated libraries
    - deployments on Friday
    - monolith, hi scaling required
    - "we will need you to work on the weekend"
    - catch(Exception e){}

    @netikras Oh god, Liferay.

    @kescherRant 6.1.1 ce ga2

    thanks to that twat I have a few discounts at several drug stores. I guess noone else was buying that much ibuprofen

    fun fact: Liferay is the reason why I found devRant..
    Google: "why is liferay shit". You'll see a rant by @Agred [https://devrant.com/rants/1163109/...]. That's how I found dR

    @netikras @kescherRant Oh god Liferay. I hear that too much here where I live 😅 I have nothing to do with the company but I haven't heard a single good word about Liferay itself.

    I hope we are talking about the same thing 🤔 Probably

    So are you talking about the CMS or language?

    @joas CMS. At least <v7. Haven't touched v7+ - some say it's better. Others say it's still crap, just in other ways.

    Working with it is just painful. Too much magic. The idea is nice, but the implementation and usage... Christ..

    @netikras I wouldn't touch it even with a long stick because of it's name and what I've heard.

    The only real problem I see is cors. Because cors sucks and gave me many problems this year.
    The other problems may be problems with hardware or the thing in front of the screen.
