got some flu shit going on, blegh

wordpress is cancerous. :(

@jestdotty or, what fuckin idiot wrote this?!

@tosensei I have to deal with people who do use it in the code I also work on.

I feel you bro.

@retoor for boilerplate it's fine, but for more complex business logic, it just makes more bugs.

gonna be blunt: what a retard.

@jestdotty sometimes I step on my hairy dog and get weirded out by this warm, fuzzy carpet next to my bed.

i moved to vim when i had to use Notepad on Windows 11.

crossfit and quit smoking weed.

@jestdotty yeah I randomly get a solution to a problem I'm struggling with staring into the fridge for a few seconds.

@retoor I fucking love C++. I am a masochist

@D-4got10-01 yeah that's why one should be emotionally detached from your work lmao.

Also, "please do help us identify areas for improvement".

Me: "this and this can be better like this and that."

Company: ignores, tickets disappear in to the black hole that is the backlog.

Cyrillic alphabet is sexy though.

I hate Angular.

Apparently suicide rates among software developers are quite high. I understand why...

Wow the last time I tried to write code while under the influence of beer and/or weed I couldn't think properly. Nice.

@antigermgerm Nice. I found a directory where they've got the most bizarre images in it, not used in the app and there are also some Excel file templates stored in there, so I left a comment asking why there are Excel files in the img directory. Doesn't make sense.

@BordedDev Yeah I mostly add my own components to keep the already messy ones from becoming even more monstrous lmao.

I just don't understand how people can work so messy.

I'll die on my hill shouting MICROSHIT

@PaperTrail @PaperTrail Hah! It is what it is, I am just ranting. I use console logs on a daily basis, but remove them once I am done before committing.

You mean Microshit

At that moment I decided to disassociate completely. Worked.

We work remotely, but I worked in an office before where they had a TV right above my head playing music all day long and I had trouble focusing. It wasn't bad music, but it's still bothersome.

@CaptainRant I agree. I'd rather work WITH the team to get a shared idea of how they work and set those as the "guidelines". I'd hate to disrupt people's way of work for arbitrary rules, I hate those.

@jestdotty There's a misconception about INTJs. I have always consistently scored one, even the tests that are paid for, done by professional psychometrists, and even though I prefer having a bunch of plans for any particular scenario, and if none of them work out, it is what it is. Not gonna cry about it.

It's silly to plan things so meticulously that there's no room for change, because things change constantly. You'll set yourself up for failure if you do. I planned on a bunch of stuff 10 years ago and only some of them came to fruition. It doesn't bother me anymore, I've gathered enough experience to stop being autistic about "there are only these paths and deviating from them will end in a total dumpster fire." I am not computer.

Such rigidity in mindset and future-thinking is dangerous. We're not oracles, we cannot intuit the future with such precision. And that's why I think there's such a misconception about INTJs. It helps to develop your extraverted sensing.

@TrayKnots Yep. I've had to work with so many wild west style repos, most of them JavaScript/TypeScript and it's cognitively taxing.

I think code standards are necessary, but not to an extent that it starts detracting from creativity and start looking like nit-picking.

Not necessarily for only legacy code, but trying to add a feature or fix a bug where there's a bunch of different developers' coding styles and zero standardisation, it makes things a lot harder to understand and will most possibly lead to burnout and the company will bleed good devs.

Claude and ChatGPT when I have to work with Angular. Boilerplate for doing basic things is exasperating.

Yeah when I was made to implement a complicated feature in Angular.

@PaperTrail If it's a bunch of things like "here" and "this" and random text like that, then it doesn't bother me too much, but when it's massive objects with all of the backend API data in it, no.
