I had been banging my head on an issue for 2 days. The solution?

Replaced
“window.addEventListener(“message”, callback)”

with
“window.onmessage = callback”

What. The. Actual. Fuck??!!

Aren’t they supposed to be the same thing?? It’s written on MDN’s article that the latter is an alternative way of doing the former.

What the fuck then? I am actually really pissed right now. Ragefully pissed.

Class components, although verbose at times, are still far superior than functional components in React. The more I work with React, the more I believe that: Hooks are plain shit.

Happy Diwali 🪔

Not everyone should code.

A 4-words horror story:

“JavaScript runs the web”.

New HOE came. He “streamlined” the processes and “standardised” the policies. And in turn.. fucked up the whole startup feel of my company.

I saw it happening right in front of my eyes in a matter of only few months.

Earlier, things were flexible, work was fun, people were even ready to put in more hours because we were all having fun. Now, work feels like work, fun is gone, frustration has become normal, and the most frustrating part is that.. WFH is now a “privilege”.

Fuck this shit man! That fucker exhausted the whole company in just a few months. Given enough time, he will be the end of this company.

Any way to code frontend without JS?

I officially hate React, now. Hooks are bullshit. useEffect can die in hell.

How to become a CSS God?

It’s time for me to be on the other side of the table. Any suggestions on how to be a great interviewer?

I love Prettier but I hate it!

Alright! I take it back. I don’t like “this”. Hooks are better. But are they the best? We will see.

Namaste.

I get it. Hooks prevent code repetition. But personally I hate them. I don’t know why. I just don’t like writing them. Maybe it’s because I like writing “this”. Weird, right?

For state management, we use:
React state
Redux state
Local storage
Session storage

That’s it 😊

There is something off with the M1 MacBook. I can’t pinpoint but there is definitely something different about the experience. Not necessarily in a positive way. The interaction feels lacking of certain things. Don’t know. It is what it is.

What I can point out is that the notification functionality is definitely a little off. Could be Monterey’s fault.

I came to this company. I saw spaghetti code. I told myself to write clean code and also clean the existing code. I took too much pressure for too little return. I am done with this shit. I will now write clean code but fuck the old spaghetti code!

Looks good for ₹500, eh?

For the love of sex, can someone help me out??!!

There is a VS Code extension that helps in creating a step-by-step tutorial of a codebase. Can someone please tell me its name?!

Google is a bitch today.

Can I have Windows on MacBook please?

Apple’s ecosystem is restricting, Windows 11 is shit and I don’t like Linux much.

Doomed, aren’t I?

macOS Monterey, ladies and gentlemen!

My Passport number has “69” and “410”.

So close!

I will be waiting, Bank. I will be waiting.

Things like Mailtrack are against privacy, aren’t they? Especially because it’s not in the control of receivers at all. Or am I missing something?!

And so.. I have noticed.. every time I ignore Windows updates for a little while.. the laptop just starts shitting. It gets so fucking slow that you can’t even move the cursor properly. So you have to force shut down the laptop and turn it ON.. and Windows starts updating!

Not at all irritating 😊

CTC is bullshittery

Pleh?

Just found a job posting requiring 6-12 years of React experience. React came in 2013.
