Okay now build an e-commerce web site that can handle thousands of transactions on a daily basis and can talk to internal systems like CRM, warehousing, and manufacturing.
I'll be honest here. Coding was fun when I was young, but now I code for the money. So stay young Ms. Dewalt - don't become a cynical bastard like me (us?).
- sehr 13y agoEvidence of why I tend to lurk on HackerNews. Some of you lot are insufferable sometimes.
- joshbert 13y agoAgreed. This tendency has been really noticeable lately. No constructive criticism, no insight or analysis. Just pure negativity. I really think that what OP did is great and very few people could have done something similar.
- jmagoon 13y agoSome of the insanely pretentious people on here drive me crazy. It's like the guy who sat next to you in class and always derailed class with someone inane humblebrag or argument with a professor or classmate. It's like a lifelong inferiority complex that manifests as the need to constantly promote yourself and never be happy for anyone else.
- mseebach 13y agoHow about no? It's great that you've built a webshop handling thousands of transactions a day (it's cute, you say that almost like "thousands per days" is a big number), but it's not like that is some universal rite of acceptance into the ranks of those worthy to write code. Maybe you should try to address the fact that you don't enjoy your job rather than projecting your misery onto the rest of us? I, for one, throughly enjoy making computers do things to solve problems (of which coding is a component).
- jenniferDewalt 13y agoI really hope I'll have the good fortune of being able to continue making things I'm passionate about. If the day comes where I find I'm not doing something I love, I'll have to start thinking about doing 180 of something else.
