Here's a bunch of random shit I made: https://cjstewart88.github.io/r/

Might want to put an epilepsy warning next to "ribbon", those patterns were really trippy.

I bake my bacon in the airfryer. Which caused me to lose the guess game!

Over the holiday break I wanted a tablet for casually playing games. So I broke out my iPad from around 2012 or so, only to find out most of the apps I tried to download were not compatible with my devices and my device's OS can not be upgraded anymore. I have two of these devices too :/

I feel like there should be more support for getting use out of your "old" devices. Thinking about the amount of waste is unsettling.

I made a little web scraper to find iOS games that worked on my device though, feel free to use it and/or modify the code to find apps you want: https://github.com/cjstewart88/vintage

I enjoy this kind of programming too! Here's one I made a while ago: https://cjstewart88.github.io/n/

Hey there, I'm Cody, one of the cofounders. We definitely want to explore allowing SMS messages. Not sure when it'll happen, but it's on the radar!

That should be fixed now, dropped the ball on that one, thanks for letting us know.

Just pushed a fix for that. Good catch, thanks for letting us know about it.

My wife listens to me bitch and complain anytime I need someone to talk to. One day she simply told me to keep things in perspective. Think about all the things we have to be thankful for and question is it really worth it to get worked up over whatever it is that's bothering you.

I would add some errors or indications of what's required before submitting.

[noer → cjstewart88]

Or some help text on what's required.

Or some inline validation?

This really resonates with me currently and something I try to remind myself of as much as possible. It's something I've struggled with in my 5 years of being a professional developer. Thanks for sharing!

The salary increase part or just the constant pursuit to be better than your coworkers? I always found development to be less competitive field than others - what are your experiences of the past 5 years?

[mclovinit → CleanCoder]

At least for me, competition has always been fierce especially early on and I paid for it with my health. In later years, I have found that I have acquired the tools (technical and business-oriented) and discipline to hold my own amongst my colleagues and also recognize political patterns in organizations without burning out. That has helped me survive this long without folding my hand early in the game. I love coding, but not as much as my health and well-being.

Less competitive? Have you ever done a whiteboard interview with a guy on a power trip?

[cjstewart88 → CleanCoder]

At first it was the salary, now I find it being on the dev side of things and general company strategy. I'm always wanting to be included on every discussion within the company(30+ employees, I was employee number 6 or 7) if it relates to something I know about. It feels like an obsession. Sorry for the late response.
