<wdg/> - Web Development General

What are some good resources that ley me think more like a programmer regardless of language?

customers will send you pdfs, word documents and powerpoint slides asking you to make the shit look exactly like what they patched together with word art.

and after you've torn your hair out they'll change their minds.

I guess if you're your own boss you can set your own terms, but €2400/mo wasn't worth it for me.

well, as far I know many wordpress themes are bootstrap based. And honestly, you should learn bootstrap in less than 1h lol... there is nothing complicated about it. You just need to know which classes to add to elements..

damn, I would be willing to do that for that money. I already did your job for half that, just need to be cool and dont take shit personally. Do meditation.

What country your clients from?

you should learn ReasonML and React.

So basically you just edit WP themes to fit their template and call it a day?

austria, almost exclusively I think.

well fuck, my german is shit. what language did they communicate in?

But i guess 2400 EUR is low for austrian standard. You should probably just outsource the work to some shit countries like mine, where people would be willing to take that shit for that amount...

it's not that easy, most of the time.

they'll want custom shit so you have to deep-dive into the template they selected. sometimes they fucked around with it and you have to salvage it even though it would be easier to start from scratch. sometimes you get a half-finished project that another company has been working on. sometimes they'd want their own plugins implemented from scratch. all sorts of stuff

but yeah, i think overall the worst part were the people.

well, web dev companies have very precise contracts. So they get protection against assholes this way... Everything outside the contract gets charged extra.

Freelancers mostly don't have that sort of protection, and if you run into assholes, you're mostly fucked..
