Snapz , in Dad has the chops to be a project manager.

If he was serious, your dad seems like a prick that sees you as an appendage that he owns…

This seems as good an opportunity as any to tell him to go fuck himself and learn some boundaries - not sure if you need to hear this, but blood doesn’t get a pass just for being blood. Make ALL the people in your life earn their place there by treating you decently.

Red_October ,

Woah buddy, you’re at about a 9, we need you down at a 3.

“Dad” doesn’t know anything about web design, but he knows (presumably son) makes them, and he ballparked a number making the entirely common armature mistake of thinking it’s as easy as setting up your facebook page. He’s also not demanding anything here. Nothing about this exchange suggests that “Dad” was going to require that the work be done at the stated price. It seemed like

Maybe before you go burning bridges and obliterating a family relation, consider how much easier it is to tell “Dad’s Buddy” that while Dad was well meaning, he was way off, and Buddy is free to compare with other estimates, but $X is actually a much more reasonable value.

You’re not, OP…

also, feels pretty obvious you haven’t been involved in bidding jobs before - these initial numbers set expectations. If “dad” valued the kid’s talent and time, he would have said, “they’ll give you a number” and/or the message to kid would not have been closed, it would have been open. So instead of, “you’ll do this, thanks bye” it would be a question to kid prior saying, “I know a lot goes into your work, is $500 a good ballpark to give my friend for something like this?”

It’s about expectations and entitlement - you’re essentially my property, so I decided it would be this is indicative of a problem with “dad’s” approach.

Neither is op. This meme is old enough to vote.

Would you think the same if the dad had told his buddy “500k € for the website”?

homura1650 , in traslation: i made that bug 15 years ago and have been waiting for it to matter.

Around 2 years ago, I got an email from a products team asking me for urgent help extending a program in time to make a sale.

I looked over the program and wrote back sonething along the lines of “this program was written almost a decade ago by an unsupervisered highschool intern. Why TF are we still using it?”.

Of course, I ended up helping them, because that highschool intern was me, and I ended up helping because no one else could figure out what highschool me was thinking.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy ,

I sometimes wonder if the spaghetti i wrote when i was still learning to program (on my own, in the corner of the room, ignored by all the “real” devs) is still used by the team i wrote it for.

IMO if they’re not an educated Computer Engineer, or at a minimum have a math-focused degree, then calling them Engineers is more than a little generous.

I just dabbled in javascript again, and that description is spot on!

console.log(‘javascript operators are b’ + ‘a’ + + ‘a’ + ‘a’);

The only reason people use JS is because it’s the defacto language of browsers. As a language it’s dogshit filled with all kinds of unpleasant traps.

Here is a fun one I discovered the other day:


<span style="color:#323232;">new Date('2022-10-9').toUTCString() === 'Sat, 08 Oct 2022 23:00:00 GMT'
</span><span style="color:#323232;">new Date('2022-10-09').toUTCString() === 'Sun, 09 Oct 2022 00:00:00 GMT'
</span>

So padding a day of the month with a 0 or not changes the result by 1 hour. Every browser does the same so I assume this is a legacy thing. It’s supposed to be padded but any sane language would throw an exception if it was malformed. Not JavaScript.

Those look pretty tame compared to some aircraft that actually took flight IRL - like Nemeth Parasol, Vought V-173, VVA-14, Coleopters, Flettner airplanes, and many, many more. Actually, they’d fit well as a following with “the projects they hire you to work on”.

Thanks for this, those are some incredible designs!
