My boss now has me writing an angular app but I'm not allowed to reuse components. The retard level is over 9000

Story time:
Yesterday I wanted to go to the theater with my girlfriend. It was her idea because as a student you can get reduced tickets for the play, but only via the online store exactely two hours before the play starts. We had already tried two weeks before but with no success. So this time I said i want to be on my pc with a proper browser and not a mobile version like last time. So we are sitting at home me in front of their website on one screen and with a clock on the other screen. Two minutes realy i hit refresh and I get a selection for the reduced tickets, nice.

You would think.

After selecting the amount. ERROR: Can not get your tickets. I was like fuck they are already sold out because it's a popular play. But hey let's try again. I got one ticket but not the second one, okay strange lets try again, same ERROR again. WHAT the FUCK, no feedback what so ever. My girlfriend had then the idea that they maybe restricted the amount for reduced tickets to one (does not state this explicitly but hey lets give it a shot). Use second browser select one ticket. ERROR can not get you the amount of seats. Rage level near to a 1000 why did it work two minutes before but not anymore. Trying around for five more minutes finally got the second ticket.

Now the real fun begins.

Proceeding to checkout should not be that hard you would think, but you need to be registered for that. Okay so let's do that. The salutation is not required neither is the address for the tickets but you need to have a company name??!!!!! The fuck?? I am not self employed and neither are a most other people around here so why is this field mandatory? Beeing a little under stress I decided to found the "asdf" company with my girlfriend.

Now one would think checking out is easy. Not so fast.

After accepting the terms of service another ERROR, unable to accept your data. What data? I did not input anything new? Where does this come from? Ok never mind I am going to pay with credid card that must work!
ERROR: Internal paymentservice initialization failure! Sorry what? I thought maybe I was to long idle in this browser and they do not reserve the tickets for so long (which would be no surprise to me at this point). Let's try again. Nope same error.

Now my rage level was really over 9000 but we really wanted to go so I decided to call the customer SUPPORT. Or better to say I had a answering maching telling me for ten minutes how sorry they are that this takes so long, yeah you bet. Then and this is now really great: the support guy asks me: "What error do you see? Internal paymentservice initialization failure?" I was like, okay he knows this so they need to know how to handle it. FUCK NO. "Sorry I can't help you. This is our payment system maybe they (IT) are doing some maintenance I can't halp you. Call the theater directly good day." Sorry what just happened, you fuckers are the vendors for the tickets for nearly all big events around here and the theater explicitly states to call you for tickets but you can not help me? Like hell.

This process took 25 very frustrating minutes and I was really angry and wanted to quit, then I saw that there is also a paypal option which I had not tried. With very little hope i selected everything for the payment, registered with paypal and they told me I already had an account. So reactivated this five year old account payed with all the mobile passwords and tans to finally, after 30 fucking minutes, get a pdf file for a ticket. Repeated the last step for the second ticket and with some time left to get there we were off.

Versioning level 9000

C++ - a scripting thing :|

Facepalm level : over 9000

UX level 9000

sometimes in my head i go through code i wrote some time ago and think: "did i think of this case? if that happens something could go very wrong." when i look at the code i see that i already thought about it and catched the case back then. then i am like "daaaamn i am good".
do you know that feel? :D

(!= rant && == story)

Sooo it's 1:35AM.
Just had a call with boss to show that everything is done.
Bossy ses gud night.

Skype call ends, who the fuck is Alice starts playing in my headphones, the night is dark and I'm siting near my desk lamp, Geez lonelynes level is over 9000

In my head: wait, what now?🤨

9000+ debug power level!!

It's impossibru: I'm doing RxJava + RxKotlin + RxAndroid and I'm understanding it.

Somewhat.

My tests pass, at least that's something. It's not yet doing completely what I want, but the hardest part is behind me. 🤩

ye ok so officially rust doesn't have a headless browser I can use

there is two.

one will randomly just throw errors totally randomly at you, about some event not coming back or the connection being closed. which means every single unwrap for every single "wait for this element to exist on the page" or trying to access an element is literally a blow-up minefield

the repo is filled with small issue tickets like how the docs keep pointing to 404 pages but I worked around that by just brute forcing everything with debug logging (despite data types being missing / not where they should be in return objects...)

and then there's apparently whatever selenium driver is and that has half as many stars and even worse sounding issue tickets and I already spent 6 hours writing code that took me 20 minutes to write in JavaScript like 8 months ago so I think I don't want to write another stupid headless browser script for it to be utterly useless

I guess I could just have loops and potentially caching. so if it has a mysterious event or connection error, try again! that's literally what I did with fucking reqwest. I don't even know why that nonsense is broken. I have thousands of proxy'ed network connections going and some of them randomly hang and I'm reasonably sure it's reqwest just not cleaning something up

I really wonder if rust people have brain aids. they wanted it to be safe so they just don't get safety exercises in for their brains, and do nonsense like this where they can't go from level 0 safety brain to ohno now I have to do networking and turns out that's extremely error-prone and needs brain-can-account-for-safety-9000 level and they just can't do it because no brain exercises make them all smooth and not wrinkly like everyone else gets in the skull jello by actually using the brain jello

At work they have an innovation challenge this week and they are putting us in groups based so there is no group with a skill level of over 9000 here is the dialogue:

Survey:On a scale from 1 to 5 what is your Linux skill
Me: vim I use vim

I got a response from the event organizer who said we will label you a 7

What is wrong with our devs that puts me off the scale because I use vim
