Mental. I start seeing sounds after 5-6 hours straight driving.

Oh god no, not Salesforce. No no no.

All of our other products.

Speaking of cool projects; build a lemmy app. It can be console app for simplicity.

Not a bad shout. I see wefwef is a webapp. That could be worth exploring.

Thanks.

I’m not giving up a 20+ year career in IT just because I haven’t yet found a way to learn how to code.

There’s more than one way to teach a subject and it would be nice to have even a basic understanding of the mess I am supposed to be supporting,

My biggest problem is figuring out what I want to do with any coding skills. I have none, by the way, and I don’t even know where to start.

Some of the usual responses when I state this:

“Automate your work” - I work in Salesforce. Have you seen Salesforce? I’m not a multi faceted systems administrator constantly updating DNS records or working in Active Directory.

“Write a cool app” - What cool app? What is “cool”?

“Open dev tools and look around” - Why? Specifically, why?

Also, learning programming is BORING. Most of the courses I’ve tried are so so stale and they aaallll end up explaining concepts in the same way.

“This is a fleeble and it holds the sping, the sping tells the plus plus that it must do what the herbug says”.

k.

My opinion is that if you give a shit about how and where you spend your time, you will not support a platform run by and inhabited by dickheads.

Vote with your feet, or thumbs in this case.

If you’re not feeling 100%, take a day.

Variables being: do you like your job?

Is your employer a fair employer?

Will the business crumble if you’re not there? I mean, if it does, that’s a company problem, not a you problem.

You should be working to live, not the other way around.
