@Kaji ultimatum - inline JavaScript to change the CSS in those tags

@HollowKitty lol I guess some people become programmers just to torture other programmers, like the job itself isn't hell enough

@HollowKitty not me... I need to fix other team's code. They usually place it inline the template, in the WordPress css editor, a separate css file somewhere in the server, in some function.php, in scss... Or wherever they feel like it. On inspector, it could show up in a separate css file, or in the head or end of body of the source code.

@Cyanide haha with pleasure ;D.

Master them if you can of course. I don't mind doing front-end dev, but I only have so much love for it, and there's just too freaking much to learn. If I force myself to learn everything, I'm pretty sure I'll end up quiting my job.

On the other hand, I'm happy to spend hours after work on things that interest me, like css animation, d3 etc. So basically, do what you think is good for you and make you happy ;)

You read my mind...
It's like "ok I'm really gonna master the English language, and learn every word and phrase possible", but the vocabulary you use everyday is only about 3000
Plus HTML/CSS introduce and retire stuff much more frequently than languages. Plus the cross browser issue, even "padding" might mean different things when you talk to chrome or Firefox.

@wildebeest here it is

@JoshBent yes sketch and XD

@JoshBent yea I remember reading an article comparing the three in details. Figma doesn't have the repeat grid function as the other two.

@heyheni I use Figma personally, but company decided to switch from Illustrator to XD... I thought XD is no longer in beta... Ended up using Sketch to finish work.

@CWins been coding for so long that I relied too much on auto save... Guess with design it's not the case...

Three is a minimum for me now, but I don't have the hardware to go any higher than that.
One for design, one for code editor, one for browser.
Would be nice to have more for another browser window, opened assets folders, Slack, Outlook, command line running Gulp, GitHub, SFTP client, Spotify... And when switching between emergency client requests, I can't just close the current project I'm working on... And they might send designs in .ai, .sketch, zeplin, invision...

@heyheni if I could, I would 😂

I just read your other rants. I believe it comes down to how much you need the job vs how much you can take the shit. I was very unhappy in one job. The PM would check in on me almost every other hour asking what I was doing. I had panic attacks every time the phone rang or Slack notification popped up. I quitted over the phone in six months since I started even though it was my first job ever, and I would have been unemployed. We negotiated and agreed to have the PM step back and have another sr. developer manage me instead.
What I want to say is, if you think that job is not worth all the pressure you are taking, go find another. However, if it only puts you to the edge, just hang in there. All these growing pains will be worth more than bitcoins when you look back. It's hard when you are in the middle, but they will all pass eventually, one way or another.
Some advices that you might have read already - time/task management, break down your projects, prioritize and plan them.

Well if that's bad... I've been given projects built by other devs with multiple !important overwriting each other... Cherry on top, they are all over the place, i.e. in different CSS files, page templates, WordPress inline code...

I was in a similar situation. The supposedly sr. dev joined a month before me. Two weeks after I joined as a jr. dev, he got fired.
