I’m so fucking tired of having to work with shitty code day in and day out and not being able to optimize it. I want to quit so bad without having a job lined up… I fucking hate being a developer now thanks to these fucking pieces of shit.

JS OOP cluster fuck?

The grass isn't greener on someone else's shit pile though.

It's just spray painted on to give a false sense of enjoyment.

I just got chewed out today for refactoring, I feel ya it hurts

Don't quit, refactor that shit. Maybe they will still keep you - and then you can work on a code base that is actually okay to work on - because you refactored it.

If they do kick you, just go work somewhere else. Real coders aren't botchers. For real coders maintainability issues are bugs too!

Why are you not able to optimise it? Do you lack the skill? Are you not allowed?

… or maybe it’s like the codebase I work with, where you kinda just have to blow the whole feature to smithereens in order to do any meaningful maintainability improvements on it?

I’ll be lucky if it’s even OOP. It’s all procedural bullshit. Thousands of lines in files. Totally fucked. I will get yelled at if I try to refactor anything. I want to burn it all.
