@Codex404 thanks, I'm familiar with these aspects of both.

Thanks for your responses! 🙏

That's awesome! Well done!

@MrJDev I think there is something to it though. Doing indie dev work while working in a day job is certainly one way to fill the experience gap.

@MrJDev I'm way past university and getting into web development as a third career. Still, this is good advice, thanks.

@Ju5tJ3N that's great advice. I've been trying a similar approach but I think there is room to improve it. Thanks

@zshh instead of using Gulp or Grunt, for example, to automate various tasks, you can write scripts to handle those tasks in your package.json file instead.

Those scripts are basically shell commands, you can just run them through npm.

Yup, with all too frequent anxiety episodes lately. It's easy to think you're alone in it all, but you're not.

I'm in a similar position. It's been quite a journey so far!

@Torbuntu hasn't Mint discontinued it's KDE version?

You just inspired me to working harder and learn the technologies that are still new to me. Thanks for that!

That's awesome, congratulations.

@QueenMorgana it's crazy that you have to resort to moving out just to restore some sort of functional relationship with your parents.

Out of interest, what about Atom's new IDE?

@AlexDeLarge thanks for that perspective!

@AlexDeLarge why is that?

@pixelwiese I think so. It's very much in demand, along with Angular. React tends to pop up more often than Angular in job descriptions so I'm preferring it over Angular.

I want to spend some time on Vue,js too after I have a better grasp of React. I have a feeling I'll like Vue more.

Feel better soon!

Congratulations in advance! Enjoy the wedding and don't forget to eat and drink. It goes by so quickly!

@practiseSafeHex thanks, I sort of knew that although I commented before I reached that earlier comment about using Promise.all

And if you run concurrent promises?

Lol! 😂

This drives me crazy too

@MissDirection I'm happy to swap! 😁

I'm trying to communicate that to my kids. It's taking time.

If I could go back to my 19 year old self Is tell him not to be in such a rush to become an adult. This "being an adult" is severely overrated.

Being able to support yourself with a job that seems ok for the most part, while having the freedom to develop your coding skills, is a pretty good situation to be in, for the most part.

At some point all that stuff ends and you're pretty much forced to go be an adult. At that point, you discover other benefits to go with the burden of it all.

That's also pretty much when you realise that you didn't need to be in such a hurry before adulting was thrust on you.

@rc5-asdf very possible. I'm trying to switch to npm scripts for my build tasks.

@rc5-asdf It seems to happen when I'm running a Gulp watch task although in iTerm. I'll try figure out which process is causing this next time it happens.

This only started recently.

Speaking of VS Code being so lightweight, it's suddenly become a complete memory hog. I've had to kill off helper processes on my Mac that we're running up to 2GB each!!

@configurator well, I guess that answers that question! Thanks for your perspective.
