Worst part of being a dev?

THERE'S A NEW FREAKIN FRAMEWORK EVERYDAY.

Where are we supposed to get time to learn everything the job applications require? And even worst, have 2 years of experience with the thing?

And how about when developing a responsive dynamic website? If you are crazy, like me, and you are the kind of dev that always wants to deliver something great, customized to the needs of your client, and that doesn't smell bootstrappy, you probably can't stand too when people ask you about time guesstimates. Especially when you are the ONLY DEV in your company.

Also, our gear is EXPENSIVE.

Sorry, I guess I'm stressed... Had to bring some work home, due to the bosses deciding to deliver a project one week early to the client, without consulting me first.

Still, luckily for me, all this bullshit can't take my love of coding away.

    It's like in chees. You will never have the patience and time to explore all combinations. But this is not necessary. You only should understand the rules of the game, learn the basic tactics and strategies. And practice, more practice. It will be enough to be perfect. Kaizen ;)

    @daemonAD There's way too many of them and most of them do the same thing.

    Exactly!

    Bootstrap can really speed up things, but...

    Most people use it like a crutch, so there's too many websites that look the same bootstrappy way over the internet...

    The same navigation menus, buttons and everything else. They probably even don't remember how to work without it.

    I still use it to solve image display and alignment problems, but that's where I draw the line.
