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

Seeing these ads like “Build your startup”.

And thinking… hey, you are not building a startup?! You want to build a product, an MVP more precisely. Right? You actually want to solve a problem. Not chase money and investment. That is what you want to do. That is the real goal. The startup and money is just a sideeffect of this undertaking. This is the way. Now go build a product to make the world a better place! And aim to grow full bootstrapped! #startup #devslife #devstories

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

- What did we tell you?
- To not build "state machines by hand"...
- And what did you do?
- I build a state machine by hand ...
- And what is the outcome?
- Pain and frustration in trying to hunt down hard to debug edge cases...
- So what do you do next time?
- If it's really really small can I ...
- No! No! Nooooo!

Honestly never want to do portal development again with ServiceNow unless it’s from scratch completely custom. Working with existing vendor provided code is a nightmare. When it works, it’s great obvi.. but when it doesn’t work how it should, holy lord it’s a pain getting a fix. Even trying to do a custom workaround becomes a hassle due to how everything is structured. #devslife #servicenow #portaldev

Super productive retrospective meeting today. First one since our R1 that was actually full of feedback. Everyone from top down realized we have been trying to break the sound barrier with releases and now we need to slow it down and get back standards and make things sustainable again. Set the tone with some new joining members to the team and take our time. #devslife #agile

Going to be doing a collab project with a friend soon to get my regular developer chops back up to par as I have been secluded in ServiceNow land for too long without doing things outside of it. Really think my brain needs something different and more modern to keep things fresh. #devslife #developer #javascript

Dedicating tomorrow morning or figuring out my future moves. Hav to figure out a way to make things happen. Going to need a plan of action and dedicate the time to make it happen. Cannot allow myself to get stuck in the corner that I am in right now for very long. #future #devslife

Got through release 1.1 for work project with minimal issues. These 1.2 features are having some serious issues. Platform limitations are really crippling right now but I’m optimistic that we will work things out. Just have to take the time to dig in and find the spots to customize and make things work how we need it to. #servicenowdev #portaldev #devslife

After going through thousands of lines of code to refactor and pull in code from plug-in devs I pushed the changes in and it didn’t work. Troubleshoot, revert and try again in the morning. I think I figured out the issue (sneaky dependency change) but have to start fresh with it in the morning. Worst case I start over and refactor again. No huge deal. #devslife #servicenow #portaldev

I love starting my work day by opening new relic's dashboards... grafana... and seeing everything work smooth. #FeelsGood

No ops just dev ;D #devslife

Loved the start of today. Teams messages start going off about a possible bug and before they could even get the ticket in I had already fixed it and didn’t even have to talk to anyone. MAGIC!! Hope everyone is having a great week. #servicenow #portaldev #devslife

Absolutely love a day when I fix a bug in a matter of minutes and get to work on new features. Planning future features and getting to work on those is a boost to my mental health for sure. Fixing bugs just mentally drains me with all the testing against edge cases to ensure the bug fix doesn’t create new bugs. Just taxing mentally for me.

Company C wants a meeting where I have to detail a "tentative" workflow for those who'll manage a data structure I designed following a data management workflow they already provided.
Duh.

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

My new work resolution: Post at least once per week an example of how I royally ducked-up when softwaring around.
This is in a hope that it will give less experienced people on the team more confidence.

Thinking about it ... I don't remember having a job where the stuff I've "been hired to do" or even "told to do" was the most important or impactful things I contributed with 🤔
What about you?

It’s only Monday and I already want to close up shop and take the rest of the week off. Going to be an interesting week to say the least. #devslife

Going to be an interesting week next week as I begin the process of taking an OOB setup at work and creating custom Angular components of them to avoid future upgrade problems. Should help alleviate the need to compare diffs and instead look only at new functionality needed and adjust based off of that. Going to be a long process. #devslife #angular #servicenow

Word to any team leads out there. Never EVER switch development environments mid sprint. Also, if you are forced to do it, make sure your dev teams have time to test the new environment for issues before they are forced to use it and nothing works how it should. Putting extra work on your dev team to fix an environment that they didn’t set up while trying to complete work for the product on a deadline is ruthless and ridiculous. #devslife

This ends my Ted Talk.

Been a hectic sprint the last two weeks, changing dev environments mid sprint, data missing due to transform maps and ACL issues. Finally got it sorted and still able to close out all user stories for the sprint with a little time to spare. Definitely enjoying a drink tonight. Whole team put the work in this sprint to make things happen. #devslife
