Couldn't get carrots delivered to my room and in a low-blood-sugar moment of weakness I ordered bread and smoothies and a sandwich FML, I miss steam-in-bag frozen veggies from the US
Get 96% on an automatically-evaluated Go knowledge job test by using ChatGPT 4 and Jetbrains' AI Assistant. 🙄🙄🙄 #StupidHiringProcesses
Run my script that runs image recognition on my bank image receipts because the bank apparently doesn't make CSVs easily available.
Had my new TrackIR 5 arrive and got it set up with Steel Beasts before the Sunday multiplayer session.
Finally finish this client project I've been working on for like 2+ months, an extreme refactoring/clean-up of one of their most-user-facing features, their tournament bracket visualization.
Get hit by a wall of TypeScript errors just when I thought I was done with this client project.
Got told by client to halt work for "1-3 months" because they lost an important customer and need to cut costs. Time to apply for new jobs.
Finished refactoring a component so that rather than copy-pasting child components for different variations, a data structure defines how it should look and ngFors are used to instantiate whatever child components are necessary.
Continuing to refactor / simplify copy-pasted client code. Fixing an issue where things that *should* be the same are in fact *not* the same because of backend code that seems like it wasn't written consistently.
Eyes hurt / felt tired so I lied down with my eyes closed for ~30mins, feel better now.
Upgraded Windows on my gaming PC to the Professional version so I can use Remote Desktop
Continuing to refactor / simplify copy-pasted code written by another dev for my employer.
More client work. Worked on a jsFiddle that'll help me quickly view all variations of some components I'm trying to simplify the code for, so I can quickly see if I've broken anything. Added buttons so I can immediately open any of them in a new tab if I see a problem. jsfiddle.net/nathanwailes/ot8…
