Career path after bespoke WordPress development - looking for salary and security! (feddit.uk)

Hey all, I've been working in web agencies for years now. Not using site builders (obviously I've had to use them at times but I don't love it), building custom themes from scratch with PHP/HTML/JS etc., custom plugins, interesting client needs, some Shopify development, design work, all the standard digital agency drudgery.

I'm starting to get pretty disillusioned and would like a new challenge (and a salary increase). I'm currently in a pretty well-paid agency, earning around $70,000 a year.

I've worked briefly with React, Angular, GraphQL, Vue, but not in a full-time capacity. Is React/Node the path I should be looking towards if I want to make more cash and have a bit more security? I'm safe in my current role, but I'm bored and frustrated.

Also.. is there any way to be in this industry and not be constantly pestered about AI? I'm honestly sick to death of hearing about ChatGPT or Claude, lol

Thanks!

It's creepy that they're doing some weird religious gesture, but I think it's a lovely sign of the times that one of the freaks on the left (as we're looking at it) just has to record this emotional and reflective moment for their socials lol

Not that difficult to buy a home in UK, claims NatWest chair by rayquetzalcoatl in c/[email protected]

I guess, personally, I just feel like a lot of these incredibly rich and obviously out of touch old men are just totally irrelevant to normal daily life for most people. It's pointless to publish news like this, because it's just obviously meant to rile people up in some vague way and I guess somehow that generates money for the Guardian?

I just don't understand why we have to hear about what these irrelevant, hopefully soon-departed losers think. Who cares?

"until they can stop the Tory media telling lies on the subject" good luck getting a Tory to tell any truth ever; the dirty lying little weirdos can't help themselves

Disabled people must work from home to do ‘their duty’, says UK minister by rayquetzalcoatl in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago

The Tories wouldn't know an honest day of hard work or "doing their duty" if it came and bribed them to their faces. Scumbags.

Every time one of them says or does pretty much anything, it makes me wonder how on Earth anybody votes for these soulless freaks and weirdos. Ah well, at least nobody who's put their penis in a dead pig's mouth is in charge of anything, right? That'd be fucking mental.

Avoiding tunnel vision when debugging (feddit.uk)

Hey guys! Sorry if this isn't the best place for this but I couldn't really find anywhere else.

I've been working for 6/7 years as a web developer full-time now, and I'm still plagued by one mega frustrating habit. When I'm working on something complex on one page, and it gets completed, I'll fairly often get notified either by the client or my boss a day or two later while they're testing the whole site that there's something broken on another page.

Almost always, it'll be down to the fix I've recently made.

Is there a way to avoid this kind of tunnel vision? I try to keep my code localised as much as possible, avoiding interacting with global scope and, if it's really for one specific thing, tying it down to that page in particular, but short of testing the entire site every time I make any change... is there anything else I can do?

Thanks!

I just legitimately love it and I'm sorry about my awful taste

We risk being seen as the ‘nasty party’ again, warn senior Conservatives by rayquetzalcoatl in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 55 points 2 years ago

Bit of an understatement to worry about being the "nasty" party when you're actively murdering people in their own homes by choking benefits and allowing companies to price gouge us, as well as selling the country off to the highest bidder you doddering old cunts.
