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.

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: 😑

It is not only about how good your code is, it is also the business value your code provides.

IT FUKIN WORKED YESTERDAY!!

Once we were going to present a web service to governmental firm. All is going well so far and my boss asks me to host the web application the day before the presentation.

I hosted it and all was good with demo production tests, but I had a bad feeling.

While it was running on our server, I also ran it locally with a reverse proxy just in case.

* Meeting starts *

* Ice broken and down to business *

"And now our developer will run the demo for you..."

* Run the demo from my laptop to double check --> 500 Internal Server Error *

Holy shit!!!

* Opens reverse proxy link on my laptop. Present demo during meeting. Demo works like a charm. *

Firm representative: "Great! Looking forward to go live."

*Our team walks out*

GM: "Good job guys"

ME:

After CSS Grid and Flexbox, I don't see the need for frameworks (except for utilities like margin and padding).

Change my mind 🙂

Hey peeps

I just wanted to ask, HOW DO YOU FUCKING SAY NO TO A CONSISTENT BULLY AT WORK???!!

Would love to share my experience with tutorial hell.

A year ago, if there is no tutorial teaching me how to do something, I am totally lost and stuck for days. Then, I decided to see how people got out of it.

The answer turned to be simple, get comfortable reading documentation AFTER you determine what you are trying to accomplish.

In other words:
1- Determine the problem and the desired end result.
2- Break the problem down into multiple smaller ones.
3- Determine the end result of the solution of each of those problems.
4- Read the documentation concerning what you need to use to solve each problem.
5- Execute.

Over time, you would find the need for a tutorial much less in order to solve a problem. Plus, documentation would ideally give the optimal solution for your problem.

Would still be cool if you find a tutorial explaining something hard to grasp, but never depend on finding one.

I have watched a couple of videos on YouTube talking about Elm. It is a language used to develop user interfaces. It has a very organized ecosystem (unlike JS) and it is pretty cool to code with. Static typing, everything is immutable, etc...

For those who have worked with it, is it worth learning? I would love to know your experience.

Who needs a meme when you have the node_modules folder.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to rest during a weekend and do an activity away from software.

🤦‍♂️

Writing the function is more important than changing the theme of your text editor. Your theme is already good enough.

No rants today but IEEE template for SRS is awesome.

DON'T. LET. DEVS. EXPLAIN. THEIR. PRODUCT.

MARKETING. SHOULD. DO. IT.

If you Netflix and chill and auto-send me an "any update?" message once a week, rest assured your software won't be developed.

When newbies ask questions 😂

WHY DO COMPANY POLITICS ALWAYS HAVE TO INTERFERE WITH OUR WORK!

CAN'T MANAGEMENT JUST AGREE ON SOMETHING AND ASK US FOR SOMETHING CONCRETE?!

Once two of my seniors had a personal problem at work that was originally a problem in a project I was assigned tasks for. When their "discussions" reached a dead end, emails became aggressive. Then, the two "seniors" kept making sure that the requests of the other are rejected.

IT WAS MY FAVORITE PROJECT 😭

Idk why dotnet starts with a dot.
