And you can do the same thing when you turn Dec 32 and Oct 40 :)

@MadHatrix Thanks for the context of your frustrations. When re-reading my comment I see it could be perceived as an insult by stating the obvious. Sorry about that.

Clients/bosses are eager, impatient, and often have no idea what goes into making their product. This can make them seem like nagging kids - the healthy thing for both them and you is to set boundaries, or even disappoint them. Maybe you'll have an angry client/boss on a project one day - who cares. It is just work.
But, since you're saying you get to work between 10-12 - does that mean that you could get there at eight in the morning instead? Maybe the wife would be happy to spend quality time with you while there is still daylight at 4 instead of 6-8. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't seem like a big sacrifice.
Just my two cents.

@Letmecode I'm picturing a post-apocalyptic world where one of the survivors finds a computer. As he/she dusts off the keyboard, only the ><+-.,[] characters have survived. Brainfuck has finally found its use.

Or maybe their experience was from building SPA's where they created all their dom-elements in js, while keeping the references.
No need for any lookups.

That's great! Keep up the great work! 😊
Also, sorry for posting this - it was just too good:

It is a very powerful tool for those who want to spend time learning it. For me the complexity just gets in the way. - And the page load time is horrendous (on 100mbit).

How to fix:
#1: Hide the complexity to enable fast workflows.
#2: Make it a Single page application
#3: Make it snappy
#4: Learn workflows of users and prefetch data based on it.

@madrix999 Being a recovered massive OCD-patient, I'm not ignorant - I'm just very well informed (and probably a bit overly sceptical to irrational habits). What they discuss here is repeated irrational behaviour, so bringing up OCD is probably a buzzkill, but very relevant.
As to my comment, it's not condoning simple rituals/physical context switches to get in the coding mood. I was trying to say: "Watch out for scope creep in your habits". Sorry if that was unclear earlier.

In a lot of occurrences the correct word for what you call "habit" is OCD.
It's closely linked to anxiety and needs debugging.
Just a heads up in case it snowballs and you one day can't code before turning your hat and tapping your heels three times.

I've used it for hobby projects and we decided to give it a shot where I work a week ago.
The reason why we chose it was ultimately because it is
- Easy to learn
- Has great documentation
- Performant
- Not as many movings parts as a typical react stack
- The most important addons are officially supported (router/state)
- Single file components

And subjectively: very fun to work with.
Give it a shot - it is so simple to learn that the cost of playing around with it is a non-issue.

@drRoss Not sure if serious, but the last time I did so, I sent him my public-key in our chat, and then the sha-sum of it by sms.
He then encrypted the password and sent it back to me through the chat.

Nice for the terminal:
oh-my-zsh (for customizing it),
guake (for easy access),
byobu (for handling multiple windows/sessions inside the same shell)

Network related:
httpie.org (alternative to curl),
wireshark (for looking at what really happens over the network)

Editor:
Try them all. Then post your opinion on devRant and sit back and watch the show in the comments section.

Looks like what you get with a recursive query in graphql.

Since all libraries and frameworks are abstractions ultimately built upon plain js, the way in is through plain js.
Once you've got a foot in that door, the libraries and frameworks are a lot easier to understand since you most of the time can guess what it is doing in the background.

@franga2000 Aah, brings back "good" memories from uni when all our programming exams were Java on paper. Had to write Othello. The year before me they had to write chess.
