when you forgot you're on ops duty and there are things you are supposed to do because you associate it with only needing to/do look at shit when you are pinged by automated systems/alerts or people looking for help

the team owns it but nobody knows how it works

fucking end me

when manager recommends you use the wrong role for a job and then it loops all the way back they give you feedback when fixing it that they thought you were using the correct role

never realized how much of a pain it is to try and write good jira tickets that other people who are unfamiliar with the project can pick them up

Anybody know any other file based database technologies like sqlite besides sqlite? Struggled to find any if they exist, my google-fu sucks

non deterministic behavior fml

mark point of interest i don't know how to refactor but have a work around of avoiding additional changes on

nobody has feedback or alternative solution

tech lead and manager still approved MR

I don't know how to CSS, react or front end

.entry:not(:first-child)::before {

however I read identical css in the chrome debugger for the ::before element generated and the general enclosing entry element for the elements displayed in a horizontal row

but the fucking divider element is askew for new elements of a different react component type i've added to the list

i fucking hate my life and front end

When the mock up you receive from UX isn't accurate for the parts that exist in production today

method so long you gotta scroll to figure out what method the code you're looking at is inside

when you gotta do front end tickets but the mockups you received to implement aren't finalized

fml

i don't know graphql

but the schema.graphql file is over 100 000 lines long and lags intellij

how bad is this?

when your coworker wants help on something but they can't seem to explain the problem or you fail to understand them explaining the problem

also not sure if i had to show them how to set a debugger breakpoint in the web browser debugger

fml

What are your opinions about minimum % test code coverage? I'm unfamiliar

ops: your dev environment shuts itself down on boot up, something is broken in the boot process and it'd be more trouble to figure out why so you're better off making a new one again

fuck me

and fuck you too AWS EC2 whatever

being so incompetent i can't have a working dev environment across different workplaces and/or so cursed it happens to me repeatedly

react is garbage because javascript is garbage

like trying to draw straight lines but there's no straight edges to work with

fuck hooks , im too salty and stupid to learn this shit

javascript is garbage

typescript despite best intentions, regardless of how well it's executed, is still garbage as it's some sort of band aid on top of javascript, and javascript is garbage

Before you ask, yes I'm garbage at front end development

be told to go write a project plan on a project im unfamiliar with when im still new here and unfamiliar in general

pain

I'm generally new to front end development, couldn't keep up with the eco system even if I wanted to.

But what the fuck am I supposed to do when UX gives me mock ups in absolute units of pixels?

I thought best practice was for development was like vw viewport units of em units, because of the wrinkle of supporting different screen sizes and devices.

Is the general industry practice I'm supposed to use their general ratios and just get close enough? Like I don't want to dick around for diminishing returns trying to get shit pixel perfect, I don't have an eye for this shit to begin with.

being stuck on pointless and very difficult work

new manager: draft a runbook consisting of like ~3 lines for marking a jira ticket as duplicate and closing it

.....like.....i can do this because it's what you want and you're my boss but something about this just doesn't sit right with me /shrug

draft article in atlassian confluence

oops it lost your image when publishing

fuck u atlassian

opengrok doesn't support searching special character forward slash? /

http://bxr.su/help.jsp

like fuck me that's the slash im more interested in, can't remember ever needing or wanting to search for a \ backslash

2 approvals required for merge (not including self) , only 2 devs currently present because vacations

/shrug

when you go through 3 different teams and nobody can explain why a certain item is linked to a subscription and there's no linking row in any of the usual database tables

fml

when you go to the help channel as directed by your team to ask a question

and the help channel redirects you back to your team

when your questions turn into a wall of text because you have a hypothesis and want to show the research you've tried doing, with citations

then nobody reads it or answers you

welp

write comment above block of code

or pull block of code out into method and work the comment into method name

how long should it take a new hire to be able to identify good tickets to work on?
