So after school i was kinda roaming around, taking the odd paid programming job for clients, not really making any money, but also quite struggling because I was walking around with undiagnosed ADHD, for about the last 2ish years, not really making any money.

Since this February friends told me I might have ADHD, so I had it checked. Turns out I have been walking around with severe ADHD all my life :P That explained a fuckload... and now I got medication that works, yay!

Flash forward to 3 weeks ago, still not doing any work, all of sudden I get poked on linkedIn "hey we need a developer, wanna work for us?"

I wasnt really looking and since it was a message on linkedIn I figured it was just another of those overpromising recruiters, but it was very close to where I live so I decided to call them directly to check it out, expecting literally nothing, nor was I looking for work.

Roughly a week after that call I got a job as team lead backend developer...

Wait I was a total mess in the last 2 years, how did I end up as lead over an intern and 2 contracted freelancers?!?! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!?

Sofar I am enjoying it.

I know how to make software, dont judge my merit on knowing details about specific libraries -.- no matter how popular they are

one of the many downsides to developing alone, you are basically stuck waiting for an answer on forums/discord/etc..

I just looove waiting 30 min on average to try an iOS build.

It's so productive to twirl my thumbs for about 1,5 hours a day.

xcode, so fast, much wow...

dealing with apple as developer is slowly starting to make me violent, the sheer level of incompetence on all layers of that company...

I dont dare share my github with potential profesional partners, its 40% contributions, 10% my public projects and 50% insulting other libraries in their issues because i become irritated when i cant get it working :P

NGINX sucks donkeyboner... hardcore...

why is every auth provider utter and complete shit?

why are docs and tutorials that try to teach auth so complete shit?

No wonder there are so many security holes everywhere, nobody bothers to make it simple for the next person.

Next time people that cry about security/bad auth, and work in that field, this one is for you:

im too tired today for an entire rant...

just Fuck apple and their entire workforce with a 10ft pole

(except the actually useful people, like the janitors and other staf that dont work on their products/support, they do contribute to society)

wow... the regular react community sucks...

where with react-native 3rd party libraries/components have very clear and detailed docs, the normal react libs out there are like:

20K starred component
"here is a .txt file with some props, TS? yea we use it, but everything is just set to ?: any"

quite the shame :/

had to cancel my presentation to a client today

apple is taking their sweet time to review my app.. im on week 2 right now...

No new computer for me yet this week...

I dont get it, why do all those authentication providers want you to use a separate webpage to handle the login, why cant i just have the form and "login with ID provider" buttons on my page.

Why is the user forced to take another step in the flow...
this is UX 101, comon!

CAN FORUMS THAT REQUIRE YOU TO MAKE AN ACCOUNT TO USE THEIR SEARCH FEATURE FUCK THE HELL OFF ALREADY?!?!

Starts new codebase

uses boilerplate with the intent to keep a clean structure.

after 2 weeks it already a complete bunch of spaghetti code and doing things like putting the same image in 4 different directories... boy i wonder why i could never hold down a job as employee...

ADHD related rant:

Im starting to notice that I treat my multimonitor setup as if they were 2 computers and browsing the same sites like i havent checked them for hours.
brain, y u do this!

apple: give us more money plz

why does apple scramble their crash logs in the first place, hiding incompetence ?

facebook, where the fuck do you have a list of your scopes, do i have to magically guess them?! just let me get the fucking dictionary and try every word!!!!!!!!!

when a brand (literally any social media) doesnt provide a clear answer to "what are your brands colors?"

then they can go fuck themselfs if they come to me "you are violating the terms of the use of our brand" and i will go trough the effort to mail them a stool sample

fuck it, im giving my users permanent access tokens, because for some reason using refresh tokens is black magic to the internet -.-

I love having to rely on discord or gitter message boards when Im running into blocking issues and the response is about 1-2 days...

Be a solo developer... yay...

Lorem Picsum... meh

https://www.placecage.com/ is where its at

I can type blind since elementary school with above average accuracy...

Yet i will never be able to write "width" without writing "widht" 2 times first

As👏F-ing👏Usual👏...

I have wasted a whole day of productivity to an issue that was solved with 1 keypress

Dear facebook/instagram

When in sandbox mode, please dont require https redirects, my localhost server has no concept of what an SSL cert is, its sandbox for a reason.

Why does nobody talk about security, even as basal on user accounts?

Its rare when i find a a framework/tool/talk/library/spec where the docs give an explanation, and more important an example of doing it the right way, and i mean without going into the history of ancient Greece and their scytale stick

Anyone with a lot of experience with keycloak?

I just want a back button in the header of my app because the average user is too braindead to use the hardware back button, why does that have to be so hard to configure!

Does anyone know of a font, or something, where i can get brand logo icons in their original colors?

Because i dont want to throw a whole folder of icons in my projects manually every time
