Remember how great ASP.NET Web Forms were? 😅

Is there a reason why something like AWS or Azure won't work for you?

I had an okay experience with Bluehost (are they still around?), but have heard a number of horror stories.

I've heard good things about DigitalOcean, but lack firsthand experience.

You did what the client requested instead of what they thought?!?! What's wrong with you?!?!?!

@deadbender 1/3? You must be some kind of coding guru

As long as you didn't cause the collapse of a company you did fine. Shit happens and while it may frustrate people, anyone who has had a professional job for more than 6 months has gone through similar, if not worse.

And to piggyback on what @heyheni (never tried using @ outside of the reply button, hope that works) was saying, find something you can do that destresses you. Qi Gong works, I'm a fan of Tai Chi, even just finding time to get any kind of exercise can help immensely. Really anything from booze to video games can help, its all about what works for you.

@drac94 That was my first thought, nada. Logically, I know something either inserts data into that column or updates that column, I just can't find it for the life of me.

@AlmondSauce you've never heard of Christmas in July?

@Nanos Bathroom based zealotry?

@alexbrooklyn Nothing terribly interesting (thankfully). I just repeated what I said at the beginning of a sentence at the end of a sentence.

I feel bad for that last catch block. It feel like someone gave up on the dream of bulletproof code.

@C0D4 ya know, at least that's a legitimate reason. I'm dealing with a case of the previous dev on this project never having heard the term "Object Oriented" in their life.

@asgs Nah, we're pretty grounded here. Hopefully in the near future.

Just start saying that he's wrong and macro services are the future. Either refuse to explain or make up some bs about what a macro service is.

Also claim that sequential files are going to make a comeback for data storage.

@c3ypt1c Looking for a new job is tough, trust me when I say that. When I was unemployed I applied to 20 - 30 different jobs a week. Out of that I got maybe 4 - 5 call backs and an on-site interview every week or two. Still took me a few months to land something.

You got this, just hang in there.

@helloworld You are absolutely right. I'm also going to give him a quick demo of the changes, he tends to pick things up better that way.

@helloworld Definitely one of my clients. Good guy, I completed an update to an app for him, but had a significant (multiple month) delay before he could test and verify all was working. It seems he's forgotten all but broad strokes of projects.
