yeah, but btw it's not just in webdev. i thought it's just in webdev, but i realized i was wrong when i transitioned out of it.
it's in general - every client wants a variation on the same thing, and the better case is when they at least don't think that it's something unique and groundbreaking.
every platform has the same kinds of issues and stupidities, every lib has the same kinds of issues and stupidities, every project and app and code is the same type of fight, mostly.
and yeah, it just gets tiring and annoying. -
I think this thread gives the best perspective to new people in the industry (like myself) who are wondering how can people get bored of this when they do it out of passion
It's easy, doing the same thing again and again with (at most) slight differences will ruin everything for anyone, given enough time
It's sad that such an (usually) ground breaking field (or collection of fields) gets stuck in the mud because our own faults -
@Frederick what new parts have you discovered or found interesting?
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
After a decade of working in the web development industry, I have given up all hope, it's the same fucking stupid ideas, the same retarded problems in every damned company . Monkeys discovering and reinventing the same fucking wheel over and over and over again. From a 5 man company to the unicorn scaleup (and everything between) I have had to implement access control systems, and various REST API's following the design made by mongrels who do it the first time . I have become to hate the work I once was so passionate about. Just fuck this shit , if anybody had told me when I was in my early 20's that this is what I end up doing I'd go and learn to be a carpenter instead.
