The Realistic Developer @TheRealisticDev

Here I am, once again googling how to git diff two branches night #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript #git

Can we please just assume we all know how to remove the default code in NextJs tutorials without wasting 5 minutes deleting it all? #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #node #js #css #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript #nextjs

97% of being a web developer is copying and pasting content from a client’s excel file into to the CMS you built for them #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

If you’re going to use an online website builder that’s fine but don’t ask me to fix it #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

Please clients, feel free to email me on a fucking Sunday night #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

Web development, where people who don’t know how to do what you do only tell you that what you’ve done doesn’t work #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

Client “We urgently need to change some copy on the website”, me “Ok, what do you want me to change it to?” Client “I’ll find out and get back to you”… #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #react #vue #node #js #css #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

Who needs a test suite or fancy debug tooling when you can write ‘return “FUCK THIS”’ #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

How am I still having to look up async map every damn time #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

Pushing code to production without even running it locally YEEEEHAAAAHHH #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

Never, ever, ever let clients on to your Slack channel #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript #slack

I spend 3 hours to automate a task which would have taken 10 minutes to complete manually. I’m a developer.

We all know why we use next js please stop writing articles about how to install and run a hello world #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript #nextjs

Can we stop writing tutorials where we just regurgitate the getting started part of the docs #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

Finally used reduce without looking it up! #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

Biggest red flag with any client “let’s set up a weekly catch up call” #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

JavaScript performance issues immediately fixed by closing dev tools #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

When the project manager doesn’t understand the project and reacts to everything by scheduling a meeting #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

Yet again googling “React forward ref “ then forgetting to add the ref... #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript

I wasn’t going to drink tonight but then I remembered I had clients to deal with again tomorrow #therealisticdeveloper #webdevelopment #webdev #react #vue #node #js #css #php #stackoverflow #frontend #fullstack #confessionsofadeveloper #javascript
