This here is some source code that i made. And I'll admit, I was a bit frustrated at the time of making. I just started learning to code in HTML and CSS a coulpe days ago. And a friend asked if I could make him a website. So I told him that I barely know the basics yet. And he says that it doesn't matter just as long as he gets a website. So now, a couple days of tryhard coding later, he raged about how bad the site looked and that he himself could have done a better job than I did. And yet the entire site had over 300 lines of code in it (perhaps not very much for you hardcore coders out there, but a biiig step for me) and several subpages, all with custom error pages and all. Although I'll admit, the design was a fucking ugly as fuck since i can design about as good as an alligator flies. But man was I mad after that, haven't talked to him since. The bastard. But to he point, in my rage i made this. An outburst of anger that I later refactored to fit a large amount of devs (since I reckon 99% of programmers deal with clients/customers instead of friends). And if anyone has a spare dns space to put the code on, then help yourself.

Have a good day!

    You did a better job, you put heart in the code. That's not something word press can do

    The real rant is in his pastebin.

    @hube @Bubbles Thanks mates, it makes me feel better. And as @Seag said, the real rant is actually in the pastebin link.

    Don't take it personally. It's just a common advice for the industry. Look at the bright side: you had a project to get your hands dirty from scratch in a language and and industry you want to dig in, so, no time wasted. You learnt from it. You will get better and faster rather than only rely on study and hollow project. You put passion in it. Did you like building it? The process, not the result. In this industry you never get to own the result. But if you liked the process involved in the making of, well, this might be the right choice for you. I work with people that just love that the issue is cleared from the tracker and thing is done.
    Learn to code is learning to love to code.
    Let that sink in for a moment. Your work is not the finite product. That's someone else idea, concept and design. Your work is problem solving, translating desires into machine code.
    Don't take it personally on results. They're not yours

    @santartine @-eth Don't worry, I had a really great time. If anything it's made me more sure of learning to code.
