CREA DDF (Canada Real state listings API) is what you get when government fucks with technology.

Holy shit! So f*cking inefficient to use it, test it and get data.

I get the protection behind sensitive data but fuck me if there is not a lot of waiting behind their fucking application process just to fetch some testing data.

Find what you want to build. Watch some videos. Code. Grab some books. Code. Find some friends to code. Code.
And learn some theory to improve your code. Code.

Get a job. Code. Get paid.

Love when the client knows more than you and tells you to create a report on an imaginary tool they are 100% sure it exists because their friend is an SEO expert and thinks all pages should be running at a 100 percent on lighthouse. Fml.

There is no good company. There is only your skill and how much you improve it.

Nothing better than debugging 7000+ lines of css code when the theme had Grunt setup by default. (Old theme needs update because of client reasons)

Luckily the dev did a good job of adding comments. So I got that going on for me.

Trying to stay more positive this week.

QA ticket. Images are pixelated blah blah blah increase pixelation to make them pretty.

Next ticket: why is the site so slow. Need to be optimized blah blah blah

Me in Backend dev contract. Everything worked great because I translated simple themes and worked with modules.

Did some work as full stack to same agency as a favor. Mostly frontend work but ok.

Now being judged as a frontend despite my multiple protests of not being a frontend developer. Nor do I have any interest in improving my skills as one.

It's now affecting my mental health and physical health. Thinking about not renewing that contract.

Best fuck QA ticket. "Images are not loading good." No page. No more info.

What am I suppose to do? Test the whole fucking site.

Webflow is the worst pieces of shit software I have ever used. Ffs why the fuck people use this crap

Got a message from recruiter with a proposal on LinkedIn
Answered and say I would be happy to chat.
She sends me a message to tell her about my experience being a dev for pre screening. On LinkedIn....

Got designs on Wednesday afternoon. Final changes on Thursday and they expected me to work all weekend because they were lats for designs I asked 1 month ago for QA and testing. Not my fucking problem.
And not working on a weekend.

And today got told that components were missing and they needed animations. No fucking duh

So far video game bosses only

Just keep getting the dumbest tickets from a client as a Frontend dev.

I told them I am a backend and even my contract says backend but I made the mistake to help them with some themes.

So fucking ready to take other interviews where I don't have to deal with bullshit colors and fonts anymore.

Linux. Lots of Linux

An email Signature.

How the fuck am I going to make a fucking email signature appear the same everywhere when the client insists in using a piece of shit software called Outlook and I am a goddam backend developer.

I don't give a shit about spacing and color and stupid fucking fonts.

Thank for listening. Have a great day.

FUCK YOU OUTLOOK and your dumbass signature crap.

Why the fuck they keep insisting a backend developer to do frontend shit?

No fucking shit I'm slow on this crap. And i told them several times it's not my forte.And they keep inisting to keeping a high standard blah blah blah

Ffs just hire a frontend already.

I'll find another job. I don't care at this point.

Is making an HTML signature part of a backend developer's Job?

Don't mind setting them up on the clie t's server but, ffs sake, I don't give a sh*t how they look.

This feels like a huge waste of time since the designers have the fucking tools to do it

If the project goes overbudget it's because you fucking gave away the custom made software for too fucking cheap.

Not because of the amount of hours building this piece of shit site which btw I was never consulted on the estimates and not even mentioned about the 2 different designs for the same fucking site or even how it needed to be architected.

As a contractor you depend on your time, not on a fixed salary. No perks, nor fucking swag.

My advice is if the company thinks that working remotely is a perk, then fucking run away.

Why the fuck do managers think beacuse a component has been build by another developer a shit ton of time ago, we can still reuse that fucking code.

For fucks sake, I had to rebuild a whole fucking map component that needed contextual filter and the fuckers just add extra functionality without consulting me. And gave me a tight schedule bc the customer, who btw disappeared for 6 months, will be mad for wasting his precious fucking time.

Fuck these clients.

Don't you love when the designer can do their pretty shit without consulting you and then the client ask you why the shit the designer made looks so different.

We are going to use MERN stack for this. Do you feel comfortable with that?

Me: yup

Finds code in Koa. *sigh* Guess I'll have to learn Koa now.

Best lazy as possible.

If I'm so fucking vital to the meeting then why the fuck did you made the meeting so fucking inconveniently early for me so you can put your new fucking designers in the fucking call.

Don't you love when clients who don't know shit about your system tell you that they have you a solution to your bug.

Offering pizza to go to the office. Like we are fucking children

Gym, good coffee, good food and a walk

When I tuned angry birds with spotify and made the speed the beat of the song.

App didn't work out but who cares. Had so much f*cking fun building it.

Told my client last october that I would not be doing a migration.

Two weeks ago they wanted me to do the migration and I told them I will do my best to create estimates but that it was the first time.

Gave them a resonable estimate to migrate the content.

And last meeting they cut the time by 70% to meet the budget.

Fuck the budget, can't pay then you don't get the shiny new toy.

I'm a contractor, not a fucking employee. So all the extra hours are on me.

Going to give them a piece of my mind today.

If I lose this client, i don't give a fuck.
