One thing I learned about being a developer in a community of non-developers. DO NOT EVER BE NICE WHEN SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THE NEXT FACEBOOK THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE.

DO NOT EVER TELL YOUR FRIEND OR RELATIVE THAT YOU'RE GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO, AND DO NOT EVER SAY "I WILL THINK ABOUT IT" WHEN THEY ASK FOR HELP. JUST SAY "NO", AND IF THEY ASK AGAIN SAY "NO, FUCK YOU".

YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON WHO NEEDS YOUR HELP. FOCUS ON YOU.

I have skipped a job follow up after a nice interview at a seemingly great software development firm two months ago, and it was because they used slightly different technologies. Now, I wanna do ANYTHING to switch my current job to another one.

How should I approach the company I didn't follow up with now? Especially when they still have the job posting on their website.

First day in 2021 to study out of motivation!! So glad 🤩

You get so good at talking to computers yet you get so bad at talking to people 😂

Depressive thoughts even though I'm not working hard. Dunno whether it is related to thinking too much about how work goes well or life generally.
This is not directly related to developmwnt but FUUUUUUUUUUUKK THIS LIFE AND EVERYTHING IT WILL STILL EVER OFFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Killed the backend production db of my app with a dev ops guy for 20 hours.

The emails I received were not the nicest of all time.

I'm trying to install OSX on a Lenovo Windows machine.

Since Hackintosh was taken down, any recommendations on a clean way of doing so?

It is about time we start thinking of real alternatives to JS in the browser.

What is wrong with TKinter on the web?
JavaFX? Even Windows Forms dude!

I am sick of the darn following:
- Webpack, Parcel
- React, Angular, Vue
- Typescript, babel
- Polyfills
- undefined
- COMPAFUCKINGBILITY!
- SPA VS. MPA
- SEO
- Maintainability
- BlaBla does not have a constructor
- <any>

I AM SICK OF WORKAROUNDS TO A ROOT PROBLEM WITHOUT BATTING AN EYE ABOUT THE ROOT PROBLEM!
LEARNING THE SHIT TON OF TOOLING FOR A MONTH BEFORE DOING ONE THING SHOULDN'T BE THE CASE! FUCK!

My story with frontend devs who use my APIs.

STOP. TESTING. IN. PRODUCTION.
STOP. TESTING. IN. PRODUCTION.
STOP. TESTING. IN. PRODUCTION.
STOP. TESTING. IN. PRODUCTION.

When you finally prepare some tea and cookies and want to watch Conan, but you receive FIVE different emails requesting and "urgent" fix 😑.

There shouldn't be "I don't like you so I'm gonna hinder your work" at professional workplaces.
Feels like I'm dealing with a kindergarten kid. WTF.

Document your API properly or use Swagger!

Went to the store to get some stuff only to comeback finding Windows auto updated. Nice.

Me: *Working peacefully*

One hour later:
*Meeting starts*
...
*Meeting ends*
...
*Action items are sent*
...
My Anxiety: 📈

I would like to make a 2d game using plain Javascript this coming weekend. What do you suggest?

DOES NOT CHANGE THE FUCKING BASE PATH!!!!

Was on 🔥 today!! 💪

All corporate apps have that story for me at one moment or another.

So accurate.

Been trying to learn component-oriented programming to develop front ends for a year but still can't get beyond a simple app or game. Specifically, I have been learning Vue on YouTube, Vue Mastery, and multiple other blog posts.

Any recommendations or maybe new methods of learning?

Every web app should be a progressive web app tbh.

FUCK TESTING CHECKLISTS
FUCK CODE REVIEWS
FUCK DAILY STANDUPS
FUCK THE OFFICE
FUCK WORKING FROM HOME
FUCK GOOGLE MEET
FUCK PARTNER COMPANIES
FUCK BROWSER COMPATIBILITY
FUCK FRAMEWORK WARS
FUCK USER COMPLAINTS
AND FUCK TOP MANAGEMENT!

Never go live without legit scrutiny! If you are freelancing, ask a good friend who codes or someone you trust.

But never go live without code reviews!!!

My friend's instagram account has been hacked!

What's the fastest way to restore it?

When you're already tired but the feature is only half-done 😫.

Who else uses template strings by default?

I haven't written serious code in 3 months. By serious I mean I haven't thought a lot about a problem or developed something difficult to develop.

Also I have avoided coding whenever I could.

I did that after a friends' advice as they saw me burned out for real and quite sad at the time.

Honestly, I feel much better emotionally and my overall mood has much less tension. Gonna start coding for real soon after getting that out of my system.

Wordpress is so full of shit in terms of coupling.

Change ONE THING in a website you recently started maintaining and see how mad you can get.

Co-worker @9:00 AM: "What happened with project A?"

Me @9:01 AM: "Project B has a higher priority. Will look into project A later.*

Co-worker @9:05 AM: "Cool. Good luck with project B."

Me @9:05 AM: "Thanks."

Co-worker @11:00 AM: "Been looking into project A but could not understand what xyz means. Would you mind jumping on a call?".

Me: 😑
