when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
Ths is a rant:
My client codebase is a mess:
- Node version is not set, but it is "told to set it up at X version". They don't want to set it fixed because, and I quote, "it is too much of a nuisance.
- Backend has not a single fucking log, beside the mandatory error in the catch of each controller, and it states "error": error.
- Backend again: why the fuck you want typescript if all the fucking codebase uses 'any'. But the orm is sequelized and it is typed... by zod classes that are only there to check the body on the endpoints.
- Frontend is a gargantuan piece of shit with one.big state with all fucking stucl there cause someone started to do that and they just keep the snowball... touching one of the utterly big and bloated compoments its in itself an act of faith. The thing is so clusterfuck that we have some api calls duplicated like 3 or 5 times...
I feel like my dev brain is being rotten each day a bit more...
