This is why I hate frontend so much. Frontend sits right at the uncomfortable intersection between overly complicated tech that's tough to understand, and demanding PMs and UXs who need the feature to look or behave a certain way. I initially enjoyed frontend because of the hands-on nature of it, being able to make something and then play around with it in my browser. But after the 100th time wrestling around with CSS and JS to make some minuscule style change, I just am done with it.
- throwaway0asd 4y agoI super enjoy pushing innovative new front end technologies in personal projects where a 30 second fix might take as much as 5 minutes after test automation and all necessary due diligence, but at past jobs I just dig that hole they tell me to dig. If you try to bring up that the days work could be solved in less than hour if only we didn’t make all the wrong decisions and fear the platform they will look at you like you’re retarded. I have heard this mentality expressed perfectly in the movie Edge of Tomorrow: Don’t tell anybody. Are we clear? Best case scenario you’re gonna end up in a psych ward. Worse case you’ll get dissected for study
