I Am Not A Big Fan Of The "Ignore That You Are Being Asked To Work Unreasonably Hard" Push. The Qualification

I am not a big fan of the "Ignore that you are being asked to work unreasonably hard" push. The qualification that "it only happens for a year" does not make it ok.

Yes, it will happen. Universities and corporations are bastards and have no issue pushing more and more work on you, but that does not make it ok.

You might need to push through it, and it is good to get help to survive it.

But it does NOT make it ok. And pushes like this (With no data, mind. Just "Text on the internet said so") that tries to make it ok and inevitable, dangling a vague reward if only you allow yourself to be abused for a while is BAD. The mental damage, and the bad learning that happens when people have to work 60-80 hour weeks (Which my University required) COSTS you. And it costs YOU, not the university, or the corporations you worked for. They count the abuse as a great success.

Motivation

⤷ ♡ my shop ○ my mini website ○ pinned ○ navigation ♡

So I made a GUI for my parents Campsite. They wanted a GUI on tablets, or maybe a PC where they could have costumers input the needed info from them.

I can make native GUI's on WIndows, Linux, Android but… this is not the smartest way to make 95% of programs.

You just write a website in HTML, CSS and Javascript, and have all the code in 1 file (You can easily write your own "compiler" that simply copies CSS or Javascript from many files into one file if you want to work with multiple files… And yes, you can write that in HTML and Javascript too)

Here I simply take in the values as strings, sanitize and treat them, and then save them in LocalStorage on the browser.

When you type "Excel" into the first textbox, it reveals 2 extra buttons to download all the data as a CVS file that my parents can open in Excel, and to clear the local storage so the GUI is ready for the next day.

Simple, safe, easy, and will work on any machine that have a browser… meaning them all.

Forget chefs kiss. Programmers KISS is what you want :p

I scared the dog with my sudden screaming laughter...

I have... Basically lost and f*** I ever gave about being nice to companies if I do not have to.

I meantion when companies break GDPR on the front page of their website, either with google analytics or cookies ( If the option to opt in to using cookies or not is not equally easy. Then that is violating the law. )

I have asked questions when a firma liquidity is low ( IE, the firm might be bankrupt next month )

And brought up that writing a job posting without saying what the job pays, is the firm saying with the very first interaction " If it benefits us, we WILL withhold critical information from you"

Or how, if you do not have a policy forcing yourself to hire newly educated people a certain percentage at the time ( Either as an industry or as a firm ) then you are straight up not giving jobs to newly educated people. If you evaluate on a job basis, then experienced people are always better.

And if you then complain about how you cannot find experienced workers, it is your own fault.

I do not say these things to shame them. I say these things because these things make a company appear incompetent, disorganized and untrustworthy. And it is either actively hurting a firm, or is a ticking timebomb for them.

And each of these examples is internal systems and processes in the firm either failing or not existing. Without anyone in the firm noticing.

And I am a system designer. And I noticed these with minimal access to information. Hire me. Because you DESPERATELY need me.

Either I get the job, or that is not a firm I want to work for.

Well my bank just released a new banking app with really bad bugs 💀 well I might as well shoot my shot while I'm at it 🤷‍♀️

Just... Yeah...

Listen, it is not nice to call people out. Now stop blabbering and help me out. I need wheels with axils already attached so I can mount them on my robot. The software on him is a thing of beauty but apparently you need "Hard ware" to get the software to move around in meatspace and it is all sorts of bothers. /s

ok ive found some coding hashtags and they're way too wholesome. love yalls hustle but where is the chaos? the engineers that hate coding. but need it to continue going cause i have no other purpose. my blood stream is actually just bits. i want to die but not without my github on my tombstone.
