The Pain Of Frontend Dev | Prime Reacts

4 minutes made into 20. Good job!

lol that button thing hit home. Client wants a "print" button put on a data table and added to the context menu. Ok so just print the page? No, a custom-tailored report with specific formatting and watermarks. The data they want exists across 18 tables and in 1-1, 1-many, and many-many related relationships. The data fields they want keep evolving, as well as the formatting each time they see the prototype report, as well as the report will display different data fields and be in different orders depending on certain conditions of said data. Is it a Template A? Does it contain X number of software items? Is it Tuesday!?!? 2 months later...."Why is it taking so long, IT'S JUST A PRINT BUTTON!!

"It's just a button, why is it taking so long?" is a sentence capable of instantly curing low blood-pressure conditions. Only downside is the instant depression.

I'm mainly a backend C# and SQL developer but can do frontend as well. One mid size company I worked with sales to put a "Tax Exempt" checkbox on a page. This was later in the day. Next morning she asked if the checkbox was done!!!! I said no... she said it's just a checkbox! I asked if she just wanted the checkbox there or does she want it to work also. So had to change 50+ C# files in backend code,, some reports, and some stored procedures to get it to work. Guess she thought putting the checkbox on there that the application would know what to do with it? LOL

"You just want to add a button but Bill is on vacation" is the realest thing I've ever heard. That has been my entire experience in software, just constantly waiting for [person] to get back from PTO or vacation so that you can do the one thing that's preventing you from doing everything else you need to do.

The “button diagram” was exactly how my instructor explained docker to me

As my company's Bill, I only hear tiny violins

"I did a startup and I got paid negative money" me rn fr fr

4:49 - I can swear I heard Michael Scott right there.
