@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.

@CaptainRant I feel like this too, you're not alone.

Recently I've started tinkering with C++ again, after 2 years of not touching it from my last degree. I have this Data Structures and Algorithms book, and it's actually kinda fun not having some kind of a deadline and a client to satisfy.

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.

I just ate my mushrooms and cream cheese. Delicious.

@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.

@cuddlyogre backend API calls spew out a bunch of unnecessary data that the front end doesn't require to operate. It's the architect's way of doing things, apparently it's better to just return as much data as possible to get started with and then clean it up later. Which never happens :D

@PaperTrail do they log out highly sensitive data like the ones I found on our production app?

I hate Angular

@bedawang I'm sorry you had to go through that :(

Luckily the place I work at listens to complaints about code quality, and doesn't mind me making things more maintainable. My boss was a programmer herself, so she gets it.

@atheist shitty or just sloppy or lazy. I love strongly typed languages.

It's because you're probably using Angular

Yeah pick me, I make stuff look nice and piss off the senior architect at work because of it lmao.

Throw it to the backend devs, or server admin person.

@hsp018 More money would be nice, but I really like the people I am currently working with. The project is exhausting, but at the same time quite challenging and the people who need this feature are so excited about it.

I've had to juggle a couple of projects and being put in a project lead position for some time now. Never more than 3 at the same time, and the one ongoing project is one I architected that's the easiest to maintain due to the simplicity and automation.

Another project I'm working on has led to severe burnout because of the amount of technical debt, on top of another legacy project that is a warehouse of fucking spaghetti code, also contributed to this burnout.

That's why I'm quite a pain in the ass about code maintainability.

@CaptainRant yes, I can work with Angular and React because of my Vue experience, but I prefer Vue.js above those. Also, Angular can go fuck itself.

This is literally a job posting for 7 different roles.

It reminds me of this one "talent manager" who interviewed me for a Vue.js job, but immediately started talking about Angular, and then they sent me a fucking React code test. Clueless.

I don't NEED the money that much, I just want to pimp out my 4x4 :D Not essential.

And the place I work at now is probably one of the best places I've ever worked at in the past 14 years, so I guess I'll stay for that. And, if I do the front end lead, I'll have to do more team lead stuff than having to deal with shitty Angular.

New place seems interesting, but I'll be working on a "slightly messy code base", which I want to do less of.

@kiki Yeah for JS, TS, HTML, CSS and SQL it's fine. I was trying to make it play nice with PHP, but it broke often and made me use bad words, so I switched to PhpStorm. I am much calmer now lol.

@antigermanist I'm too stupid for Vim as my primary editor, I only use it on my servers

@Demolishun BASED AF. YES. WILL THROW MONEY AT IT.

What languages are you using in VS Code?

It's the best text editor, but for my purposes I prefer an IDE.

@retoor the logic is that I get more decision-making power and do what I actually like doing. They weren't even aware of how unmanageable the code is becoming

Definitely gonna do programming stuff I never have energy for in my time off. Gonna be fun!
