reminding myself to calm the fuck down and just get this damn huge-ass feature implemented in this messy as fuck code base which is triggering me so badly.

So, how do you devs perceive code standards?

Nazi shit or game-changer?

console.logs in production code is not fucking acceptable.

Retarded point of view: "Angular is great for enterprise because it enforces good coding practices and makes developers more efficient."

BULLSHIT. This is the biggest lie and people die on their stupid Angular hills with this. It's about team culture, regardless of framework or language.

I've seen some messy as FUCK Angular code that takes a dev way more time to do a basic thing than it should. Angular is not more resistant to technical debt than any other JS thing.

"But TypeScript." Utterly useless if you're just adding any for every object and variable.

Angular is no better than vanilla JS.

I dare you, challenge my point of view.

Option A: Take new job for immediate 10% salary increase, but have to start at the bottom again, being just a programmer and having to clean up messy code (almost no career growth), which I am a bit burned out from TBH. People seem nice.

OptionB: Stay at current place with no immediate salary increase, but get assigned to Front End Lead and have decision-making powers (good career growth and leadership opportunities) and make them conform to a more standardised way of working so the team becomes more efficient.

Took a chance at telling my bosses how burned out I am and had a really great discussion with them.

Turns out they want me to lead the front end team, because I'm good at it and can make them do higher quality work. Agreed with me that there's something wrong with the code if you have to use a different IDE lmao.

And I can use my 30+ days of sick leave (which I've never used because I don't get sick) to take time off when I need to. Burn out is a disease.

Not all bosses are shitty.

Triggered by a spelling error in a backend API endpoint.

Must resist urge to change it.

It says "respondants" instead of "respondent".

Don't know if I just shot myself in the foot, but I reached out to my previous team lead who abruptly left a couple of months ago with no real reason, but I have a suspicion that I'm looking to leave the company for similar reasons.

Manager said "he butted heads with us on how we do things."

Well, I am butting heads with them now.

Would be interesting to see what he says. He is a genuinely nice guy.

Interviewing with a company that brands itself as "AI-powered software development company".

Get sent code test and rules are no AI to help with code test.

I get it, but it's just so ironic...

Do coding test for Vue.js job, because I don't want to work with shitty Angular anymore.

HR person sends React test, with some random string manipulation question in vanilla JavaScript.

I don't do React, but tried the test anyway. Better than shitty Angular.

Told her uhm this is the wrong framework...

I hate web dev.

Spent 4 hours trying to figure out why API endpoint keeps returning a 404, the data guy checked the database and the row exists. Didn't know the one endpoint it was using was for debugging, which also isn't working.

Turns out Angular somehow decided to switch environments and called the wrong endpoint. I was working in an HTML template and then suddenly shit stopped working. Someone probably committed the debugging endpoint by accident and I pulled the change into my code. Imagine a dev puts some super secret API key in there and pushes it to the remote repo. Congratulations, you now leaked a potentially private API key.

"Good practices", my arse.

The way Angular uses environments is retarded. Just use fucking .env files, why is it so hard?

Angular is retarded.

Complained about how bad Angular is. Other Angular devs tell me I should use VS Code in retrospective. I smile and say no thanks, my IDE handles Angular just fine, it has native support.

Lmao. VS Code is for plebs.

Using a different editor won't fix how shit Angular is.

Angular is a pile of dog shit.

Making web dev unbearable and harder since 2010 (or 2016 if you ignore AngularJS).

Fuck you, Miško Hevery

Fuck Angular
