damn it

Frustrated that my build system wasn't recognizing a file change I added to my code. It kept telling me that a function didn't exist in the linked object (linker error). I checked everything and stared at this shit for about 15 minutes or more. The signature matched, the function existed, the relevant source files existed. I was starting to imagine impossible scenarios. I cleaned the project and recompiled. No errors, everything linked just fine. Fuck you? I guess...

So I decided to needed to walk around so I went into my bosses office.

me: I don't want to program anymore.
boss: What do you want to do?
me: Shovel shit.
boss: They are the same thing.
me: True...

TLDR: Tool and possibly skill issue results in frustration and humor.

Most software titles (Engineering Manager, Tech Lead, Solutions Architect) are bullshit.

Only think that matters is Junior, Mid, Senior and Lead Engineer.

Rest = garbage, the industry changes quicker that when one climbs up the bullshit career ladder to only find out he is obsolete.

"Oh yeah I made a new endpoint, and I just pushed the logic for it wherever I wanted without following any of the project's guidelines or structure. I didn't write any tests or documented it anywhere either. I kinda felt there was already an endpoint for it (there was) but I couldn't be assed looking for it in the documentation"
Die.

Open letter to any website that is trying to implement "smooth scrolling" on their website using JavaScript: stop, consider how awful it is 100% of the time, and kill yourself please.
