In my fiat coding job I'm so bored of the "current tech stack" which changes every 5 minutes. I gave up trying to keep up years ago, maybe I'm just a shit coder but my eyes glaze over everytime we discuss which new tech stack we're gonna use on the next project.

Every new bullshit NextJS/React/Redux/Remix/Intertia bit of nonsense I use has shit docs and doesn't do the basics, like I just want to add a prefix URL to all assets or set a base path for API requests - nah, can't do that and Google doesn't know how to do it either.

If you're struggling, just let me know.

I know have a full 24hrs of coding experience🫡😂.

Haha, I wouldn’t want to bore you with the details! I think fiat encourages “the current thing” in the dev world, lots of cash flowing around to create crappy new frameworks. Just making devs have to constantly learn new things!

I suppose that's the thing with coding, it will always be changing. It's certainly not like a traditional industry, there's only one way to wire a house or to carry out an oil change etc!

Yeah, to a degree but it just seems to change to fast to get good at one tech stack before another “better” one comes along.

I’m just a bit jaded having spent 20years in the job! Working on a bright orange exit strategy this cycle!

I'm just waiting to see what the fucking idiots in Downing St decide to do with CGT in the budget🙄.

I’d guess the rumours will be worse than what they actually do. It’s already really bad, the Tories reduced the allowance massively!

Yep!
