Blowing out your node modules is not the fucking answer to everything! All I did was accidentally sym link a package. But no you insist that I fucking delete them all even though I am at home on shitty wifi and going to fucking run ‘npm install’ a million times!!!!!!!

Then I did and getting weird handshake errors and you are not able to fucking help.

Fuck you idiot!

Writing my resume in LaTex just so I can list it as a skill on my resume.

Just moved from laravel/PHP to JS.

Now I find out their is PHP 8.

Everyone said this was going to be dead.

Why do I suck so bad at bash!!!!

I can’t remember fucking shit.

oh shit oh shit oh shit...

Do to my horrible anxiety about covid-19 I have not been calling into stands up in the last 2 weeks or doing much work.

My boss just messaged asking if everything is okay.

First msg I said yes and sorry was having techinal difficulty.

Then I msged him back saying it would better if we talked. I can see he is on a conference call so no response.

Should I be honest or list fake technical reasons?

He is pretty cool boss but only been there since October.

Imposter syndrome creeping in?

Remember this woman.

Fake it until you make it or get indicted.

Has anyone looked at the IHME curvefit project?

https://github.com/ihmeuw-msca/...

It’s the statical data model used by the whitehouse to make decisions regarding covid-19. Not a data analyst or python dev but this repo seems super sparse and only two people are doing most of the commits. I would think they would have more contributors.

Any data peeps want to weigh in?

Felt like helping out a local brewery with a website due to the pandemic for free beer.

OMG feel like an idiot on how long it takes to set up static site from scratch.

Using the static site generator Hugo is easy but customizing the templates, content writing and the graphics are becoming such a fucking bitch! Especially the fucking graphics and not using photoshop but gimp. Is there something else do not want to learn anything else.

Not even to the hosting yet, I hope AWS for hosting static sites is as cheap as eveyone says. I know there is a learning curve but that is why I took this on so I would have experience with it and can out it on my resume.

New respect for free-lancers that do it all.

What piece of shit coded this site?

https://freefilefillableforms.com//...

This is website people who did not file a tax return can use to get their stimulus check.

It’s not mobile friendly or even responsive in the least bit.

These people are poor and desperate and do you think they have laptop or desktops? No they use their phones.

You could have added some Flex box, now people are freaking out all over the internet.

Who the fuck would do this also this?

Yes LinkedIn, the middle of a pandemic is the perfect time to make a career move.

Turn off your marketing campaigns assholes!

Hardwares guys help a dumb dev out. Got my work station finally set up at home. This cord is attached my Dell Thunderbolt docking station.

If I lightly bump the cable the laptop or the desk I loose connectivity to my displays.

What can I replace this fucker with?

What are some other cool jobs I can do in tech besides code?

I am hating development and the mass confusion.

backbone.radio is a node
package but ALSO and actual application for internet radio like real radio.

Is in the backbone.js documentation...NO!

It on the marionette documentation which is built on backbone.

Guess what’s hard to search for?

Fuck it man😵

There are two jobs I would rather suck dick on the street than do.

Sharepoint developer

JIRA admin

What’s yours?

Switched from php/laravel dev to frontend JS dev.

Decided to free up diskspace by uninstalling unneeded applications like MAMP, phpstorm and composer.

Feeling a little sad :/

Goodbye old friends since I spent 100 hours mastering you.

I belong to a Javascript discussion forum on social media where people post dumb questions that have been answered a million times in stack overflow or ask ‘Can I learn {JS framework} without knowing JS? Only there to answer questions because I am 100 percent non-contributing idiot at my current job.

How does anyone wrangle all these fucking JS packages!

Trying to fix issue where a table overflow problem...only in firefox. Found a quick fix then discovered it does not work when there is an event with a handle.

So come to find out perfect scrollbar does not like flex nor firefox (the only browser for the end user)

Jesus christ I miss laravel.

Just realized being a developer means fixing bugs that were caused by fixing other bugs that were caused by fixing the other bugs.

Anybody else recently figure out that watching a 5 min tutorial on using a new tool/package/extension will save you hours of frustration?

Why is there always one asshole!

New job just a month in, had a meeting where we could bring up improvements and put them on cards.

I brought up the idea of using slack so we could collaborate better or maybe a collab space. We all have our own offices or share with high walls.

The guy running the meeting has the same title as me said we never had that before, are you unhappy with yiur onboarding?

Slack or a messaging app is industry standard for even none tech companies. I was polite and said it was just a suggestion and it might make it easier to get help for the new people if there is a group chat.

Also brought up using a formatting standard so code reviews are spent commenting on spacing. I said we could you prettier to implement that and just pick a standard.

He said that was an issue because people were not paying attention before they pushed the code.

I am sorry I am new so I am rewriting and rewriting code all the time. I was to format on save and not spend time fucking formatting!

I could use a package before since it I formatted it would look like a bunch of fucking changes in git.

Why make things harder? Part of the meeting was how to get code done and PR’ed faster so it gets to the testers. Autoformatting shit would help.

Does anyone else work for a DoD contractor? I am totally incompetent at my job and was wondering how long it would take for them to fire me.

I heard it’s harder since it’s a DoD contractor.

Not sure if I oversold myself in the interview of what but boy do I need a lot of help.

Asking for a friend....

New job, fairly new to web development, very new to JS. I am failing miserable at my job can’t complete tickets which are mostly bug fixers created by testers. So I am debugging code that I didn’t write on a tech stack I do not know (ampersand, q, radio, lodash, react, etc)

Do I try to learn the language better?
or
Focus on learning debugging with dev tools and getting better at using the webstorm IDE.

In a job that I am WAY over my head. Onboarding is a shitshow like usual the devs did not know I was starting until the day before. My only real expierence is school doing php/laravel. Very honest in my interview only a year of codecamp at a local community college and very small tasks at my old job.

This is a JS app using a bunch of old frameworks/ libraries. I was told it was React in the interview.

How long until they fire me for being i competent?

In the US and working for a defense contractor. Which I was told it was harder to fire people.

3 mos? 6 mos?

Getting used to using ubuntu on virtual box. Responsiveness is slow as fuck and I have 128gb of RAM. Spent all last week configuring my box and sublime text in order to have to set up a new one due to repo issues. Any advice?

Started new job today with another dev working on a different project. Told him I was hired as front end dev but was a full stack wanna-be. He said he mainly coded in php/java. In the course of the conversation I asked him what is preferred IDE/editor was, telling his I liked Sublime text but was warming up to VS code. He said he never heard of Sublime Text and only used Notepad++.

Not exactly a dream abour coding but my favorite instructor in college.

I dreamt the secret police came to arrest him on campus since his methods teaching cod were unorthodoxed.

As they were leading him away I was screaming and crying - “He’s the best teacher here, what are you doing!”

weird

This was an email sent to me using my name as a greeting. This had to be a mass email that no one proofread.

I love how the list everything general JS skillset using odd verbage and then throw C# at the end.

What should I respond with?

I am feeling snarky today.

Myself

The place is poorly run, I drink beer at my desk in secret or worse have tantrums like a 2 year.

Advice needed please.

I have an interview friday for a front end developer. Currently I am junior dev with just a full stack certiticate.

It’s the typical skillset requiremnts JS HTML and CSS with familiar with React, Angular and Vue.

As far as languages I really do not know JS but I know php. Taken a JS class in school found it to be fairly simple and that was my second language I learned.

How do I spend the next 48 hours? Learning JS? Spending time going over frameworks? Refreshing HTML/CSS?

I am much stronger back end than front end but I am hoping this will be more of a front end engineer job requiring the configuration of node packages and such.

Are all Senior Devs assholes with God complexes? Does it get better?

If you are in the US how are you preparing for the next pending recession?

I am thinking about staying at my low paying but stable job where they have never done massive layoffs because they are not publically traded.

Anyone else?
