So what? My employer doesn't even understand two-step authentication and has me guess a clients secret question.

It's not what you know

It's who you know

And how much bullshit

You are willing to peddle

Time to get 40 winks in I say.

Sure.

For 5.000 a month on top of my salary I would be willing to sell my privacy on ONE of my devices.

2002: "Flash is bad because it's all compiled code and you can't change it anymore once deployed, you need the original files".

2020: LETS COMPILE JAVASCRIPT GUYS

@CoreFusionX Ah yes, I have been tripped many times!

Nah, I think of myself as a half-decent programmer and JS isn't fun. I have more fun satisfying compilers to be honest.

High class lifestyle LEL

@hinst You know what's funny? People ask me if I want to be X, want to be Y. But want just isn't part of this deal anymore. I've grown too hateful of people and society in general to "want" any of this.

What I want is to eat, to drink and to sleep. I have no wants more complex then that. All work I do I do strictly to survive in a somewhat moral manner.

The day OOP clicked for me was probably one of those days. The day NMP dies will also be one of those.

No, you are not.

After 20 years, "code" is this poetry you read to a computer to entice it to do stuff still. Why would I store redundant data such as exact method calls myself when the code I write is for the domain intended to share data (the internet) in the first place? Beats the purpose of it all if you ask me.

@devRancid At my company I am the only dev. I have to decide what tools to use. If I am not touching NMP because I don't know how to use it properly anyway, can I forget about webpack?

I for one, simply detest work related stuff.

ALL work related stuff.

@hjk101 To be fair implementing Mollie itself is a breeze. Just add up all the costs, make an API call, read the result. It seems strange to me I used to fear payment API's for their authentication shenanigans, overcame that fear, and now run into the realization that Google is either hunting for my data, uber-paranoid about who translates what, or just plain fucking with us all.

When we're talking this kind of money, you can afford to act like a business. Just quit and offer them to rehire you for 10 million.

@darkwind With our CMS it's actually quite trivial to make a site multi-language... the client just wants it automated and doesn't care about quality.

@LotsOfCaffeine No, the client is Dutch. He's just too lazy/cheap to do the translations manually.

@Grumm I have not, but thank you... I am surely interested in any simpler alternative!

Kubaticle?

Struggle? Nah man, I zone out on purpose.

Nice. I love it when it turns out my negativity was just realism. I love to say I told you so!

Coding is okay but corporate sucks.

It's actually great news! You get paid all the same and your boss doesn't want that code! Meaning you can basically monetize it without having the company that paid for it be involved anymore.

It IS automatic when you write no new constructor.

C## has nice syntax for it though. It can be quite elegant in some languages.

public void MyConstructor (val) : base (val)

RIP Rigidbodies, hehe.

Progressive enhancement is something I recommended but isn't understood by the non-tech management types. I stopped caring about it as well.

1==1

Typing wrong one character and the compiler not catching it because the statement is valid (and just doesn't do what you wanted it to do) is common even after 25 years of coding. The issue is that you need to be super-specific with machines. An "interpreter" doesn't actually interpret either, it keeps to the writing of the law and not the spirit thereof.

The one thing that changes is that you'll learn to check for your usual mistakes first.

I'm even worse. I cannot accept the same hex color appearing more then once in my CSS. var(--whatever) all the way babyyy.

"I potentially could given the information yet masked from me through user permissions. Please provide credentials and I'll get on it right away."

Wait, isn't a managers job to completely misinterpret what code DOES? Mine consistently asks for features that have not been implemented yet or are wholly incompatible with existing code, making me reinvent the wheel every 3 weeks.

Isn't that their whole job description?
