The startup i work for, and built their app from scratch told me today that they ran out of money...im heart broken...angry...and no one in my life really gets why. I didn't just lose a job...i have to abandon something i made...

I just got told that a codebase written in javascript / typescript can't be built to last.

This is the type of rediculous stuff us Web Devs have to put up with.

Reasons not to be a dev:
High Stress level
Caffeine addiction
No home/work life balance.

Imposter syndrome is hitting hard today.

It's been a bit since I've been here. But I think I'm back.

Does anyone else get crippling fear anytime your boss wants a 1 on 1 meeting?

I always assume I'm getting fired and panic over it..even though so far that's never happened.

ADA compliance. Specifically... Color contrast adjustments/compliance ..

Wow it's been years since I've been on dev rant. Awesome to see it still going.

I'm a react dev now ... Like all the other JS developers in the world

when your microservices go macro.....

https://github.com/blog/...

OMFG YES! best Christmas present ever!

When I'm in the zone and a spam text interupts me... Fuck you!

when you get mad at your dumb mac laptop and 777 your user directory because apple does dumb things with permissions.

when php is pegging your system for no reason....

ive never been so stoked on a hello world before.
reverse proxy to a remote server parsing php.

When nginx returns 200 for .html but 502 for php... Kill me now.

Allo fun

I had a list that was built off a for loop.

One day the list was off by 1, and continued to be for a solid week...

Instead of solving the problem.. Added +1 to the incrementer variable.

Hasn't happened since (3 years)

i'm seriously over mobile devs not understanding what backend architecture looks like.

the "we don't need a backend, we just need an API." statement drives me up the fucking walls. stop it, you should know better.

sincerely -
your friendly neighborhood web developer.

when one tool says your site is 200 from chinese IPs, but another says its 403 for the same IPs...

which one is it?

my parents just know I work with computers. they are happy that I have a job that pays well, and i'm happy.

do i need anymore then that?

anytime anyone asks me to write a solution to fizzbuzz - i do it in brainfuck because even if i screw up...no one knows. :P

everyone has one function that they have to look up every time they use it. for me its str_replace() in php. i can never remember the order of the parameters...and ive been using it for almost 10 years....

next pet project: learn Dart, build CMS in Dart.

take a shower. honestly most of my code problems have been solved while showering.

when you get super helpful log messages from an API call on a friday afternoon.........

client asks me to setup a form that emails on their site... no problem. didnt know what they actually wanted was for me to set up an email server.... im a terrible terrible sys-admin. no one should hire me for that kind of work.

the worst documentation I've dealt with was (sadly) some I wrote myself.

We had a project - build with no maintenance agreement attached. so I half-assed the docs and tests... a year after launch we sign a support agreement and I'm struggling to figure out how the damn thing works!

and this is why you dont let a first timer build your database....

"has 34 column names in index key list. The maximum limit for index or statistics key column list is 16"

fighting with a submit button callback not firing..... at least the cat and I have good music to listen to.

Dual Core blasting on a friday morning... gotta love it. finished my sprint on time, now cleaning up.
