Lookup "unit testing" and automate all that kungfu.

"what is your Joel score?"

If you're not junior enough for them to just kick you outta the room, then please do lose it next time, and have a short rant ready to go too... Heck it'll probably up your rep even!

@fullstackclown well "non professional clueless idiots" is a broad description that can apply to half the world (many of us included) my question is: why are we always paid less than them?

it's already been banned for the past century, problem is, none of the criminals are ever brought to justice...

Sounds like Asian (Indian ?) corporate hierarchy. my condolences...

So long as it's automated and fault-tolerant, sure why not
I for one don't really care about the distinction

That's what comments are for: to know what you were thinking back then
You basically came up with a best practice on your own

Every language is "just another language" no matter how new / innovative / well- designed... what matters is how YOU use it:
- Wanna be an early adopter? Then there's no criteria, just choose what you like, and change your mind as often as you want
- Wanna have an easier time making money? Browse the latest StarckOverflow dev survey for the most wanted / loved / paid languages. Or search github for "awesome [lang name]" to get a bird's eye view of the ecosystem (made by the people who DO love it)

Why are we all like this? Why can't we just grant them the simple satisfaction they ask for? Here they are, begging us to lie about it, and we cold-heatedly refuse, because it's technically incorrect... Just say you have 2-3 years of experience with X and make their day! I mean, who can prove you wrong? Will they even try?

working with CSS to build a website is like working with atoms to build a city

Oh, let me guess: it was an "urgent" feature too, right?

Spent an HOUR writing a test before running it for the first time? Well, there's your problem.

Hmm... I have the strangest feeling... I feel as if my time was just wasted!

Well, at least it's nice to know I'm "welcome to leave"!

1- Respond with "Cool story, bro"
2- Get fired
...
365- Profit

Well, yeah! All joking aside, that's exactly what you should do:
- shelf your changes
- approve their PR so they can have some peace of mind
- then immediately raise your own PR
But I'm telling you what you already know... right?

Problem is, the more experienced you become, the more you realize experience is not the deciding factor...

the rant I never got off my chest 👏

@tosensei @atheist @bittersweet

¯\_( I'm so very convinced now )_/¯

Spoken language is democratic, just start saying it however you want it said and don't stop, no arguments needed

Yup, it do be like dat
We study as hard as theoretical scientists, perform operations as meticulous as surgeries, and practice special forces level of discipline, but then hesitate to even call ourselves engineers...

Keep it empty as a life lesson
Heck, you can call it "the dragon's board"

So you're saying Atwood's law is Murphy's law, right?

Like @PappyHans said, you're a dev, they can't stop you! Press F12 to assert dominance.

OP : JS is easy, people are retarded
JS == operator : Am I a joke to you?

Doesn't matter what "people" call it... WE are the experts here, and we know there are 3 general types of syntax:
- programming language
- markup
- data notation

Problem is, front-end is never just about HTML

People who haven't done front-end think it doesn't need any programming.
People who have done front-end think it involves too much programming.
And everyone else [read: managers] don't get what all the fuss is about...

Now THIS was a "rant"!

Why the sad face? It's called "prototyping" and you're doing it right: they're supposed to be thrown away when you're done.
