I had good feedback from the job - they want me to make an offer for a daily rate, but it seems like I got the job. I'm just waiting for the answer for another job in an agency (yay variety, minus job security).

Anyway I'll never touch angular ever again. Good riddance, and my apologies for anybody my judgment offended, at the end it comes down to personal preferences I guess.

Also that'd be my first full-remote job. Can't wait to spend time with my family and friends to be honest. It sucks when you're hometown is unemployment-ridden.

I really hope I'll get a react job because I haven't touch angular in 2 months and I really didn't miss it.

Time to get back to work. I hope I'll get remote, react and contract. I can compromise all but the first one (I want to spend time with my family...)

I should get another job or a contract. But I like being on holidayyyyys!

Maybe I will start a side project first. I have saving and not spending anything

Trying to soak rxjs-based node backend is like walking on goddamn quicksands

I spent more energy raging about stuff not working than I put into actually fixing the issue. The bug was right outside of my attention span. When I chilled down and went outside, I found a solution right away. I wasted two days. ADHD hyperfocus is a bitch.

I'm off, it's beautiful outside, but I'm stuck inside trying to get this shitty rxjs code to work. What a piece of crap, seriously.

I'm close to cut my loses and just re-write everything using immutable instead. I can't even test a simple three line thing, there's just no way to isolate an observable stream. Angular is doing it by attaching everything to a class (ugh) and just replacing object properties (yuk). But apparently jest won't let me mock them or anything.

This website made me realize I'm ranting waaaay too much :D

Use rxjs, they said. It's easy to test, they said.

Hey maybe if coronavirus kills enough old people we could finally get rid of PHP and imperative / OOP programming altogether.

Today is my last day. After that I'll go to the beach and celebrate my freedom with suchis and beers.

Then I'll finish my projects, take a long hike, and then wonder what to do next

It's valentine's day so I'm doing wholesome-as-a-service:

http://boomjacky.live/clic

The lead put a comment in my PR asking to look at the ticket again. I did. He obviously did not. Thank you very much, asshole.

I get weird error when I don't restart the angular CLI every hour or so. That's three or four minutes of productivity wasted. I can't wait not to use this piece of crap

My honest stand-up update: "On friday I chilled, didn't do shit, I ate a weed-infused Bounty chocolate bar, cycled to the beach, had a long walk and tried to work on my bouldering project. Today I'm planning to do the same, or maybe I'll work for like 10 minutes, dunno, haven't decided yet"

ATTACHED:
the boulder

You stupid asshole, you've been sabotaging me for ages in the name of the goddamn process, you stupid fuck, and now you want me to go agile "just do things" that aren't in the requirements? Just set up your own mind instead of wasting my goddamn time.

The lead kept sabotaging me instead of helping. When we disagreed, he told me to "take it to management" which I just found childish. So I did. I resigned. Enjoy your shitty codebase.

I wanted to find something new for a while now anyway, this is not a snap decision.

YoUr PR iS too BiG

Dude it's big because we kept building under time pressure on what was a bad solution of yours. I'm not going to work backward because you can't read a PR, most of the code is the same as before, only broken down for separation of concerns, as it should have been from the start. The first thing any of us would say if something as shitty as this were spotted in a PR is to break it down in more sensible units.

If you want to be a lead then act like one and take responsibility for your shit.

My dear collegue, optional chaining makes sense sometime, but NOT as a default. There are some situation in which a null is unexpected...

Morning story:

My lead (ugh, what is this, the goddamn army?) tried to review my PR. He came to me this morning saying it doesn't work and writing me a fives sentences novel saying that he wasted his time and that it wasn't building.

The title of the PR? "pending". It was even clearly indicated as a draft.

Nothing says monday morning like some idiotic error messages from angular testing suite that does not help at all.

Again this developer experience issue
I have to develop a goddamn feature this week. It would be easy if I did not have to finally merge this big refactor that I had to do because otherwise it would never have been done

I launched my webradio. Problem is the tracks are playing randomly, and our perception of randomness is quite different than true mathematical randomness. So I have to write a script that pick the next track. It's kindof an interesting problem actually, less simple than it look, involving stats, psychology, computing stuff in SQL and so on.

I'm gonna bike to the seaside, I'll finish later. Priorities.

A white screen. No error message. After upgrading to Angular 11. I have no idea what's going on nor how to fix it. Hey guess I'm gonna blow one more deadline.

Yesterday at 5PM, QA come to me asking that my new work to be put under a feature toggle. I start doing the thing. At 7PM, I get a message from the lead saying I should just comment things out (oO).

Now I have to revert what I did yesterday. I'd like a job that actually values my time and effort.

I bought a domain name from porkbun. It's still not propagated, I put the A record almost a week ago. Any idea?

Business idea:

An AI that you're feeding with git history amd speak during the stand up meeting so you don't have to.

Yes I'm a shithead but don't use a slur on me and you won't have me insulting you for the next two hours. It's really not complicated. Who knew using the term "retarded" could lead to interpersonal conflict /s

Watching the Vendee globe during work helped me to deal with being stuck alone with nothing else to do. I liked Pip Hare cause she was based here in Poole bay. Too bad her boat's damaged :(

Please if you read this, please give me the strength to stay diplomatic with my lead (or resign on the spot).

I miss my mum and dad and friends. Got damn lock-down, just test people, Jesus.
