Project status: I'm doomed

Coworker: "Take a look at the Groovy module"
Me:

Searching for a new hobby... Tell me what you do?

I missed the "OK" and the "Bad Request" but I'm here with the "Not Found"

IBM WebSphere Integration Developer. Kill it. Kill it with fire.

1. Learn to read and understand the errors and exception messages. While writing code you're going to be facing exceptions most of the time and the real cause of them is under a lot of generic error messages. That and a lot of patience and perseverance.

2. You're going to face clients and bosses that ask you to do a temporary "workaround" even though you know there is a best way to solve a problem even if it takes more time and effort. Don't "crash" against their ideas, try to find a mid-term between the fast and easy work around and the best solution and leave it open to improve it in the future. I have met a lot of developers that let the frustration stops them to be creative just because the approved development is not what they wanted to do.

So, I want to start a blog where I can post the result of my research and showcases as tutorials... I though that if I'm doing it for my job, it could help somebody else.

What would you recommend me? Any advice?

1. Do you know why my computer is so slow?
2. What cellphone do you recommend me to buy? (They always end up buying the cheapest)
3. What do you do at work? (Answer: "I create applications". Anything more complex than that is not going to be understood or they will loose interest)
4. Something is wrong with the: [TV, Cellphone, microwave, etc.]. Could you please take a look? (Believe or not, if something works with electricoty, my family thinks I can fix it).
5. Is it true that if I send this WhatsApp message to all my contacts I will have more options?
6. I need to build an application that (pretty much The Matrix), how much time do you need and how much would cost? Don't you dare to give me wrong numbers. (We have to see the future)
7. (Continuing the previous point, a non-technical client) I don't think that would take so much time/money. (Every time)
8. I want to use the latest Front-End frameworks. I want to see all those beautiful animations in my page and that it runs smoothly... I also need that it runs in IE 5.
9. So, you have been working in the back end? If you don't have a screen to show to the client is like you didn't do anything in this sprint.
10. Why haven't you built and million dollar application? Everybody is doing that right now....

Yep, those are only a few downsides of our profession if we count family, friends and even co-workers. But I can't imagine myself doing anything else.

Creating something out of, literally, nothing... You just need your brain and a computer, and it doesn't have to be the fastest or the newest.

Former boss taught me to care about the place where you work and how to think always as a team and not just to improve my skill.

Current boss taught me that you can be excellent designing and writing code, bur if you don't know how to transmit your ideas to others in a way that they understand, you're pretty much stuck.

Great bosses so far...

I'm starting a clean Sierra installation and I've been using Sublime in my old installations but I wanted to asked you coding monkeys:

Atom, Sublime or Brackets?

I don't have a rubber duck to debug... I have my own team.
P.S. Groot is in charge of the breakpoints... Because of... Well you know :s

main(), toString(), isEmpty(), .printStackTrace() maybe not favorites but most used for sure
