After 2 years of neglecting a side project that I hoped to complete, I decided to dedicate two solid months of long hour nights, and finally completed it. There are a few other projects that I ditched some time ago due to lack of interest.

Hair of the dog. A Bloody Mary would have been hilarious haha

An article that comes to mind, that you may have read:

Copypasta code commits are usually annoying to mentally scan. If you add a linting tool (ESLint) to the repo, then two rules that could circumvent said issues:

Enforce minimum and maximum identifier lengths (id-length):

Enforce a maximum line length (max-len):

@devcod-r

Thanks for sharing that. That process sounds awful!

@vivekptnk

Decide on what you would like to build, then choose a framework of your liking. There are several tutorials that are available online to help jumpstart the process. Also, posting your questions on StackOverflow—when you cannot resolve an issue and have searched online for an answer—will help with circumventing bottleneck issues. @benj is correct in that learning native JavaScript basics prior to jumping into a framework is ideal, and will help a great deal.

Thanks, @Gregozor2121!

Congrats, @sunnyDeveloper.

@hell

Sounds awful. Yeah, moving out is usually ideal.

If only your father exposed the `stopBarking` method haha

Oh, meetings...

Dear Micromanager,

I will complete the feature in a few weeks, and in the meanwhile, fuck off, incompetent mutant!

Love,
Your intellectual superior

Haha, well, at the very least, the root cause of your issue resulted in the making of a solid dev rant.

Sounds like my situation two weeks ago. Assuming that your problem is complex (?).

Unfortunately, a majority of recruiters are incompetent and/or lazy.

I use Vim w/ a built-in GUI: GVim. Really like Vim.

Open source contributions, definitely.

Sounds as though the original job poster is led to believe that ‘Java’ is a hip, shortened term for ‘JavaScript.’

Haha, damn. Well, at the very least, you figured out the issue.

@JS96

Sounds like yet another cruddy boss in the industry.

Like the handle. Hilarious.

ES6 polyfills.

Building trading systems, and recalling their time spent behind bars:

On a more serious note, @asgs is probably right.

Client: Can you build me a web app similar to Gmail?
Me: Sure, what is the timeline that you are thinking?
Client: Yesterday!
Me: Well, I better get to work!
Client: Will $100 cover the cost?
Me: I work for free.
