So, after over a year... I *finally* looked up my grade from that Vintage Fashions class I took. Aced it

Ghoulish Delight · 07-29-2011, 08:26 PM

I am very nearly done completely gutting and re-engineering a user interface I wrote for work.

In about three weeks I've made it 10 times more functional, 10 times more user-friendly, 10 times less error prone...all in 10% fewer lines of code.

Feeling pretty damned accomplished (and trying to ignore the fact that it kinda highlights how stupid my first attempt was).

Unless you think the company would have been better off with no interface at all for the last three weeks I think you can cut yourself some slack.

Three weeks? My first stab has been in use for 3 months. It wasn't until 4 weeks ago (I lost a week of development time while conducting some training) that I started coding the upgrade.

Phew. Just had a deadline extend from the end of this week to at least 2 weeks out. I was about to be in for a seriously sh*tty week.

Since I last clocked in, another 4lbs down. I've noticed my clothes are much looser, eek.

Also in happy news, the cc debt is dwindling down, no new card to cut up yet, but close. The credit score has gone up a few points, too. Yay!

omg! I just convinced one of the most contrary, self absorbed people Ive ever had to work with in my entire 30+ year career, that Im right and their way isnt in fact the best way to proceed. not to mention, I did so without actually resorting to felony assault

I hope my user departments appreciate the amount of 773H-on-Earth I just saved them from
