I write code for a living. You might say I'm a professional software engineer, but really software engineering is much more than just a profession ...

Tyler, you've managed to sum up all the feelings that I have on a daily basis. It's funny how we go from "I hate this thing" to "that's fantastic" in a matter of minutes.
But, in the end, we end up enjoying the process... even with something like a decade dealing with the software area.
This. 👏👏
Although I'm curious to know who are those people who are stuck using IE?
Doctors
Indeed. I heard that most of our IE customers are in hospitals
In my experience, it's often been large corporations that have been around for a long time. At my current company, IE users make up about 10% of our customer user base, which is way higher than the global averages of 2-4%, which is really interesting.
We currently use a Preventive Maintenance program at work to track work orders and PM's. It is a Four Rivers product called TMS. It only runs on Internet Explorer because it is a Java Web App and TMS won't update it.
Usually larger corporations that are running (older versions of) SAP or other outdated backend systems that only work properly (or: 'as expected') in IE.
Most likely because they have no need to upgrade to latest version and the insanely high invoice that comes with that.
All companies still in 2020 use it all over Europe, very sad but true.
Thanks to everyone who replied for the insights! I really did not think IE still holds a share this big.
While at work today, I ragequit while writing some styles (not really good at it) and told myself I'll never write a single line of CSS again, then after about 5 minutes it clicked and I was just happy to continue. Developers go through this cycle often, and some frequently than others :) Happens to the best of us
Thanks for the post!
I got fed up with the new ES6 syntax, callbacks vs promises vs async, choices in compilers like Babel, JSX, and things like
fn.bindandfn.call... I gave up reading JS articles and writing new JS code.I'm still upset with how much one has to know about JS. Which is a barrier for learning and using it.
I'm trying to use JS more as a tool to solve problems rather than something to get frustrated at in an attempt to master.
Nice article, well balanced and pleasant read, I’d say your not just a writer of code.
Thank you Mark! That’s a high compliment. :)
I have to say that you probably mean 'you are' ! I liked the main post but lots of errors creep into code when our in built compiler aka brain does not spot these errors. I love coding too...
Yep - thanks for the typo correction Mike
To answer the important question!
tabs, vim, firefox
I like the internet meme
A lot of developers can relate to each point you shared. Thanks for sharing! As a junior developer, it helps a lot to read that from experienced ones :)
My thoughts exactly! Particularly on the merits of different agile methodologies 😂
Splendid read.
Thank you!
You had me at "Sometimes I wish I never learned to code."
Your post is interesting. I like the meme of continuous learning. I laugh a lot. By the way "I also write JS for a living but I don't cry"
I never owned a hoody and I am 50 now :-(
it's not too late.
Relax dude, god hahahaha
