After few weeks I got back to an Electron app. Rebuilt the thing, copied fresh binaries to a Win 10 VM, and the app doesn't even start, it instantly crashes. Literally nothing changed - libraries (and their versions) are same, source code is the same, node version is same, it was built on same machine, VM wasn't even started since then.

Tried a fresh Tux binary, and of course it runs fine.

God, I hate Windows. 😩

Another JavaScript API 💎: months are zero-based, but days and years are not. 😒

Spent like half an hour messing with our web app code crashing on a cryptic error just to discover that a Chrome extension released a buggy version (automatically installed, of course) which crashes all pages using it (there are even some big pages in production being affected like something from atlassian).
Great, just wonderful job guys...

Dear God, why are punishing me by another bug report related to Edge?

Console dock freezes commonly for MINUTES, literally. It doesn't support objects, so every object is very usefully converted to "[object Object]" string. And now I am discovering that change event on input is magically not firing?

What a day. This would be solved in Chrome or Firefox in a matter of minutes, for a same time Edge doesn't even manage to render a page with dev tools opened FFS...

TIL following two lines are NOT the same in JS with webpack, even though logically they should be - it should be just an application of an eta reduction... First line works, second one crashes, probably because mysteriously executed too soon, before obj is initialized.

export const t = (...args) => obj.t(...args);
export const t = obj.t;

Sometimes I really hate JavaScript magic.

Boss started using new approach to naming tasks. I am NOT thrilled.

I totally forgot how bad working with JavaScript is. After like a year of working with properly typed TypeScript base where navigation and documentation works very well, now I am in a world where IDE (IntelliJ IDEA) does very little, essentially it's just now a stupid editor. After few days I miss TypeScript already.

I hate iOS so much. Just hit a nasty bug where "optimizer" in browser sometimes randomly replaces a function with a number. Like WTF? Was developing a webpage working on iOS too easy, so they enabled a hard mode where some of your functions may turn on you?

What the ****? I added a call to one method, how the hell it could broke it so badly?

> Compile failed with 1163 errors; see the compiler error output for details.

Oh my god, who would do such thing O_O

I hate tooling around Scala with libGDX so much - Gradle, Gradle Android plugin and ProGuard are just awful.

For example today I got during compilation: "Warning: Exception while processing task java.io.IOException: Please correct the above warnings first."

Grepping build log for (case insensitive) "warn" returns only the message above to correct warnings.

What the hell? I am required to correct not existing or invisible warnings or what? I hate you Gradle and ProGuard, I really do! >:(

FFS specification of this feature changed for fourth time in a matter of like two weeks. Flipping client, I bet he's gonna be asking again why is the project taking so long...

I am so glad I don't have to interact with him, I might say some unfortunate things to his face.

When StackOverflow fails you.

After several Firefox/Mozilla failures (getting rid of proper addons, supporting censorship) Waterfox looks like a promising alternative. On Windows it runs great, sadly on Kubuntu LTS it does not - binary package only works with quite new std c++ library :-(. Damn it, why can't they distribute all their libraries together like Tor browser does (it's also Firefox based)?

God damn it, if you (libGDX) have default values for public methods then make those constants public. Now I am writing wrapper and I either create my constant with same value as your private one, or do some reflection black magic which will probably break after obfuscation. *sigh* Going with my copy of the constant, not happy about that...

I hate when application is lying to me. For example when it says my message has proper length, in this case maximal allowed length (showing 0 characters remaining), but then throws some random error message like "Your comment is probably blank.". But when I apply some magic, like when I remove 2* characters from it, suddenly it's working as expected. (Removing 1 character isn't working, hence the magic.)

PS: This does devRant Android app and web version as well.

Cooperation with a graphic company is like a never-ending story. Return them styles to fix something, they fix the thing, but also break few other things. 😒

Now they fixed colors of links in main menu, but also made the text color in a context menu same as its background... 😫

I love the possibilities unicode has brought, but sometimes I just hate unicode so intensely...

After some time experimenting with Haskell (with mixed impressions) and quite positive feeling about Scala, I am really shocked by Clojure. I tried simple example from youtube tutorial, but it looks so awful, complex and compared to Haskell and Scala version it is just so verbose. I read that Clojure is a concise language. Is the tutorial bad or is this a fine code in Clojure? I really don't like the code at all...

What a magnificent error description, one won't need anything else to fix the bug.

Great, just my luck.

Joys of TypeScript.

(Notice the letter case of the first character of the type name.)

Flipping SMPlayer - I opened a video on other monitor (TV) and was trying to lower default volume (by keys) to not wake up family. But the SMPlayer decided to show some window about donations which blocked all hotkeys for a player. Good job, now that I probably woke my family I am sure I won't donate you.

What a helpful error message, IDEA. Thanks a bunch...

I must be getting paranoid - I could swear I saw a Comic Sans in Chrome's search box 😵.

Am I getting mad or are you drunk, IntelliJ IDEA?

My regex foo has gotten really weak. It took me unholy number of attempts to get ^\n{1,}$ right 😞.

Oh no, wrote a question on StackOverflow few minutes ago and now the whole damn site is down 😥.

<rant> Why is Apiary's editor so weak? It has no support for navigating from request to its code, it hides inheritance (so in the end you end up navigating source code via ctrl+f which is very cumbersome) and is buggy as hell. It randomly scrolls around, after awhile is laggy, syntax highlighting often breaks on a blank line with few spaces and so on... I wish so hard it would have had a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA with proper navigation and request preview. The web "editor" is just so clunky and generally bad :(.</rant>

Bonus points if you also wrote it in a language entirely new to you, or even in entirely different paradigm. (In my case Haskell.)
