javascript really is terrible though. i have no idea why anyone would want to specialize in being a 'front end dev' just loving use jquery for your button mouseovers or drag/drops

typing is a ruby user's biggest enemy, i guess

i'm really loving stressed out right now here though because a lot is being expected of me and it feels like asking for help is a problem even though it shouldn't be

i've always known i've been underpaid at this job. always. I took a cut to start here, as I was a little desperate to be hired when I had to leave the last one for medical reasons.

in the meantime, I did eventually get a raise, not through asking (ha ha as if that worked), but by someone new being hired with a realistic expectation of pay. i know the small company thing, where you get a lottery ticket in lieu of wages, or money's often tight, that said, someone got offered a significant chunk when they handed in their notice.

I compensated by slacking off to meet the salary they give me, pissing off to san francisco for five weeks. I haven't really done any significant work in many months, but that's more because of conflicting requirements and a company that chases any chance of a sale, let alone a mythical profit. Still, i felt pretty bad about work-to-rule.

that was until I was informed of a document somewhere in the wiki, listing the market rates for the roles we have. they've known since the outset that I've been significantly underpaid. to the extent that I could ask for double my current salary and just hit the average.

it's me, i'm the chump.

i also flunked the facebook in-person interview.


maybe I would have been less openly hostile to them in person if they'd been able to book a hotel the night before, and I hadn't had to run across london to find a bed.

it actually was pool-allocated

but we were removing it from lists and calling destructors anyway because we detected that it was "unused"

in fact it would still have been a bug in a gc language because the original bug was a byproduct of the inconsistency, not of memory corruption

and the memory corruption associated with the object was a really obvious clue about what was going wrong

so in some ways it was easier to debug because it wasnt a gc language

because deinitialization implicitly signals object invalidation like nothing else ever could

but i wanted to be nice to the gc fans

because someone has to

and its not going to be me
