Trying to learn a bizarre custom javascript wrapper that was used to communicate with complex mobile RF devices, the point being was to control them, but damn thing did not work for crap even if you tried hard.

When any of us devs asked the senior "dev" who designed it if there was any documentation on it so we could actually get started on working, he literally told us we sucked ass and that we were pieces of shit that knew nothing of programming.

Who writes JavaScript to control RF devices in the first place?

What kind of rf devices again ?

I bet you had a splendid time working with your “senior dev”

Electronic devices work significantly better while connected to power source.

@MadMadMadMrMim so those were base stations and wireless modems. While the firmware running on it was in C, someone also created the weird ass scripting language to be able to control and configure them externally... instead of just a TCP API or something.

The script was actually transmitted in packets through a custom TCP like protocol to the device, because of course TCP is not good enough. Then it got executed on the target and when it failed to run, it just sent back the message ERROR through telnet.

Worst overengineered bullshit.

@PepeTheFrog heh and no description

@TeachMeCode he was the ultimate asshole, his career days are counted.

It is your fault for trying to do that with JavaScript.
I bet an excel macro has better support for RF

@mundo03 not like I had a choice. I actually used python to minimize my interaction with it as much as I could.
