Oh my GOD. This DEVELOPER is gonna DRIVE ME CRAZY. I mean, this is just one example (of hundreds).

HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT A LINK ICON IS?! WHY DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE MOST BASIC COMMON KNOWLEDGE?!

AAAAAARRRGHHHH!

So we have duplicate code because dumb devs thinks Bootstrap (4) is kick-ass for mobile. 😒 Can't do jack with their tables.

I told them to use Flexbox instead. Bootstrap (even 4) is antiquated and there's better options.

My recommendation is to use Flexbox Grid with React to build a modular living style guide with built in unit testing for styles and interactions.

Basically got told that my opinion is just an opinion and is the same as using Bootstrap. 😭

Anyone have some solid "facts" on Bootstrap I can use in the long run? We haven't even launched anything and we're already in technical debt because of this stupid framework decision. Someone please help. 😞

So there's this developer I work with. Let's call him Kevin.

I am a UX designer, former Developer from IBM - but I really love design, so I made the switch. My background however, usually makes working with Developers easy.

But not this guy! I provided a clickable prototype complete with code to easily inspect with Dev tools for measurements. I provided mobile references for some screens but not all.

Kevin submits screenshots for me to review the design. Looks nothing like the prototype, so I get out my Wacom tablet and basically draw redlines over the screenshot. "No border here, 22px should be 20px, etc."

His response was:

"I need you to say exactly what you one (want?) each pages and mobile pages to look like, text size of the font, etc.

You did a lot of red marking, so I am asking for clarification."

So basically asking for red line specs. I asked a month ago if he wanted all the mobile screens, or if what I provided was enough along with the style guide. He agreed. So now I'm majorly pissed off.

Maybe it's also the fact that one of the other developers has to hold his hand, because everything he does is bad. 😡 And his lack of ability to articulate a damn sentence effectively drives me crazy. Cherry on top, I suppose.

Would love to bring this up with my boss. ♥️ And suggestions. 😍
