For the last 2.5 weeks I have been working on a application for a client that essentially amounts up to a glorified asset management tool. This project had a crazy deadline and I was tasked to solo dev. Because I could choose what to build the application with I thought I would try out Bun and Elysia. Loved it. Thats not the point of the story. I spent about 130 hours in 2.5 weeks on the project, slept 3 hours last night delivered the project after multiple QA rounds. Clients response on slack: This is unusable. We can not test. Client shares screenshot of design and my implementation. I went off script with a silly input field that they designed that never got used in any other place in the app but in this one model, so I decided to rather reuse a working component than creating a stray one. Oh and obviously the panel that the comments live in is full hight and not 80% like the designs. So the app is unusable. FML. How does that make the app unusable? Can you post comments. Yes tard, can you upload assets, yes tard. So what about constructive feedback. *constructive feedback left the building* THE APP IS UNUASABLE. FIX NOW.

    Thanks to the elimination of the need to check for nulls, not only are a few commands saved, but the possibility of nulls is eliminated altogether https://space-barclicker.com

    By eliminating the need to check for nulls, not only are several commands saved, but the risk of encountering null values is entirely removed.

    Consider having a follow-up conversation with the client to understand their specific concerns and what they expected versus what was delivered personal branding article . Clarifying their vision could help you identify any misalignments and guide you in making necessary adjustments. It’s also worth discussing the design screenshots they provided and how you can address those issues. While it’s disheartening now, this could be a valuable learning experience for future projects. Hang in there!
