RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I enjoy writing software, but...

I'm sick of making yet another fucking CRM.

I'm sick of trying to keep data synced between seven different third-party services.

I'm sick of trying to pull everything in the database into a single fucking dashboard.

I'm sick of trying to stay within a budget that's based on some wild-ass guesstimates made by someone who quit over a year ago.

I'm sick of creating things that will only ever be seen by a couple people in some random companies, and will be enjoyed by nobody.

I’m sick of being tasked with 5 different types of programmers jobs

In the past month alone I’ve worked on:

  • A web scrapping program to compile realtors information in a state I don’t live in, their properties sold and the values of those properties in the mls database. 1000s of web pages

  • a react native mobile apps backend transition from mongdb and express to a google cloud platform and firestorm database

  • a stencil.js website for a company that sells soaps and essential oils, as well as manage the backend changes because of arbitrary tariff price increases

  • a Python data pipeline to sync various name brand companies inventories with a shoddy sku management system

  • tax and shipping costs module integrations

Bro what is happening out here, I work for one company

Yeah, that's why I work in DevOps. Pre-defined scope.

We don't even have devops people. The developers are tasked with all of that too.

I see why you're ExtraMedicated.
