Bugaboo
Solving bugs in code, while perhaps the most frustratingly annoying thing on the planet, is perhaps one of the more satisfying parts of writing code… the most satisfying thing being having your crazy-ass code idea actually work with no bugs the first time through. This is a notably rare occurrence, especially with me.
I also find myself continually annoyed at the fact that 99% of everything I’m doing will never be seen by the average person who looks at the site because I’ve put it on my resume. All they’ll see is the rather simplistic front page, which has since been mutilated into something obscene by the client, who doesn’t have an ounce of design sense in his entire body. Nobody’ll see the dynamically-generated data charts, the fancy AJAX tools, the involved and delicate exercise tracking system, or the complex reservation calendar setup. This frustrates me to no end.
Oh well, at least more of it is working now… moving inexorably closer to being DONE with this damned thing. Gods. But boy does it feel good when stuff starts working.
It’s a wonder I’m not bi-polar…
