Had a realization today that just because you teach someone to do something doesn’t mean they will do it. More than likely they will explain they don’t know how to do it without you and then you end up having to do it. #devslife #sndev

So apparently I need to not bring up bugs when I notice them because that gets a ticket put on me when it’s an entirely different team that did the work that created the bug. Noted: will leave everything broken and have someone else report it so I don’t have to add more to my work load. #devslife #ServiceNow

Is it Friday yet? Like seriously how is my brain so fried and it’s only Wednesday. I should be much more alert and sane mid week than I am right now. Bouncing code around multiple environments and multiple releases is causing severe anxiety and memory issues of what is fixed where and how and what scripts are updated for what versioning. I need a database just to keep track of all the changes. #devslife #ServiceNow

Definitely a Monday. Multiple calls, clarify tickets, meet with Vendor over tickets. Compare code, merge code, testing, don’t feel like I did much of anything productive today but overall every step taken today will make things better overall. #devslife

One major area that I despise when having an issue with out of the box functionality in SN. When there is an issue in our instance and not in a PDI the ownership seems to fall to us, which I understand. However, when a plugin release is supposed to fix something and it doesn’t, vendor support should be able to do a comparison of the OOB code to see where the issue is. I shouldn’t have to setup a personal instance to debug their code myself. #ServiceNow #devslife

Completed the UI Builder fundamentals and honestly surprised at the functionality built into it and how simplistic it is to navigate and utilize. I already see areas where it will definitely get tricky and create issues. Overall I’m impressed and can’t wait to play around more with it and see what I can make out of it. #ServiceNow #devslife

Starting to dabble with C# and hoping to get the basics down and go into .Net fully and learn that aspect of things. Get some experience working with it so I don’t fall victim to being strictly a JS dev and not have anything else skill wise. #devslife #devjourney

Have to love when you are tasked with creating a solution that has not been done before, and even the senior platform engineers laugh and say I don’t think it’s possible to do that when you ask for assistance. #impossibletasks #devslife
