I feel like a failure

"Hey! Can you help me with some Excel formulas?"

For anyone that has used or is using repl.it, I'm thinking about using it for a project at uni.
The project is a Java program with a HTML, CSS, JS interface.
If I open my project as a Java project in repl.it, is there a way to just run the HTML? It'd be stupid to run the whole app just to debug the frontend...

What would be the most semantic option for a domain if it's just a personal space? .com means commerce, .net means networking services, I think space means... space, the sky... and it's a bit long... .dev? .xyz?
Should I just forget about this and either go with a regular .com or something cheaper I find?

First chart library:
Perfect, but when you hide it, change tabs, come back and show them they freaking explode. Stupid bug, not ideal, I don't have time for this, move on.
Second chart library:
Cool, cute, but why doesn't it update? Wait, why did this one disappear? Why doesn't it ever appear again? Wtf? It's just like the others...

Do I really have to make my own chart library?

Any good free HTML5-CSS3 visualization tool for Java Swing?
I did my research and gave up (tried 3, 1 was paid and 2 didn't work) ended up using JFreeChart, but the Grid Bag Layout is giving me some headaches, if you have any idea, you're welcome.

I had some very minimal experience with Arduino and Zelio, so I guess I had the basic notions in the back of my mind, but this is where it all begun.
I was asked if I wanted to learn how to code because they needed a developer, so I chose Java because I liked Minecraft and I thought that if I failed, at least I could code some mods.
Spoiler alert: I didn't fail so I didn't have time to code mods... is it really not have failed?

Does someone know what theme this is?
I hate seeing this images because I'm interested in the theme and of course, they are stock photos, there's no info about them.

We hired someone to make the new front site because I was too busy.
The guy had a plain text password system to show, mispronounced "FontAwesome", and used WordPress.
He was not an instructor but was supposed to be the "senior option" for when I couldn't do something for any reason.
I later asked him for some opinion on how to translate the site, and he disabled the Captcha plugin. I. Don't. Know. Why. I figured because of all the spam I got suspiciously after he "took a look" at the admin panel.
Luckily I could get him out of the contacts and now we are looking for more devs.

string(4) "null"

Having some time for my Java projects, always so welcoming. ❤️

Is looking for the string "cv" too much for a folder with 962 files and 116 folders having a total of 753MB?
Apparently, it is for the Windows Explorer.
Come on...

What even is that?

Because of job demand.

I was thinking about my next cat, and thought how I would name it, as I like original names.
So I thought maybe, now I'm a developer (my cat is 10 years old, back then I was in primary school), I could name it after some technology I like but can't understand (like cats)... How many cats are called C#?

So, how would you name a cat based on some technology that would fit as a cat name for you?

My job description is software developer, and that's the thing I do less because I have also been assigned tasks from other areas that nobody wants to do. Yeah sure, make the IT guy do it, he's not busy and doesn't do much anyway, right? Oh but wait until they do need something coded...

I love JS. And then this things happen... I want to learn TypeScript so much (not really related as I don't know if it avoids this).

Btw, I ended up finding ++n works too, so in the end it was 'Question '+ ++n;

What's your favourite non-alphanumeric piece of code?
Mine is "!!+" (JS, numeric string to boolean), second place is "+ ++" (many languages, plus the next variable increased by one).
They just remind me of the crazy world we live in.

Learning Python as a first language. Or Pascal. It's a tie between mainstream informal and obsolete formal education.

Excel crashes after some minutes (sometimes seconds) of working perfectly if I have the WakaTime Excel Add-in... correlation doesn't mean causation, but wtf?
I want to report it but I don't have the time to look for logs and Excel shit.

Stupid, useless members that do nothing and just eat free Individuales and Sin Culpa. Wait-

Of course the plugin didn't work as expected.
Of course I had to fix it with 3 sets of 2-3 CSS rules.
Of course...

Some stats on what I've been doing all 2020:
222 working days.
60% of the days, working on dev stuff.
80% of the days, working on 2nd responsibility (legal documentation for clients).
From April, 60% of the 222 days working on the 3rd responsibility I got assigned in, you guessed it, April (KPI making).
So basically 70% of my job is no longer what I signed up for.
That's what I want to change this year.

Best: Learning React JS
Worst:
Having to rush an online training module for our app in a weekend.
It was so raw that I had to alter the database by hand every time we needed a different training.
Awful, stressing, and boring.

Lesson learned.
Don't update the WordPress theme.
Fuck you, "dev" that made our webpage.

Disclaimer: I haven't done much research.

Do you have any good course / tutorial / guide to using Web Sockets with PHP or Node? I'm looking forward to knowing about the matter but I'm just asking here before just in case someone has a good / recommended resource.

It's interpreted. :(

How much of an asshole you have to be to say the poster doesn't know PHP and bitch about "security problems" in an answer to a clearly newbie question about forms and redirection on Quora?

I will be investigating but I'll let the question here in case someone knows a way and is kind enough to share it...

WordPress site in Spanish, we need a multilingual plugin or something to let the visitor click a flag or something and see the site translated in English (by hand, no online translator service required).

This would be so easy to code, but they chose WordPress over malleability. c:

Any plugin or idea?

Guess who implemented a whole new feature in 3.5 lines of code and a simple CSS class.
This awesome guy.
Take that, frameworks.
