Fragments

I'm a frontend developer. That is, the person thanks to whom a problem in the design finally becomes a problem in the browser.

If I don't know something, I usually say "no idea". So far I haven't seen any reason to complicate that system.

A good developer differs from a bad one not by knowing everything. More by understanding exactly where they know nothing right now.

I like it when, before a project starts, it's clear what exactly needs to be done, in what order and by what date.

The better everything is discussed at the start, the fewer philosophical conversations come up closer to the deadline. Although it's impossible to rule out philosophical conversations completely.

I can spend ages on some bug and then discover the problem was in a single line. That doesn't make me mad. Almost.

The good thing about frontend is that the result is hard to hide. If something turned out badly, the user will see it in about a second.

If it works on my machine, that means absolutely nothing yet.

A workaround can be a good solution too. The main thing is to honestly understand that it's a workaround, why it appeared here and who will one day remove it.

I find it funny that these days you can spend five minutes writing code and ten hours explaining to an AI why that code needs fixing.

Technology should save time. If you spent two days automating a task that used to take fifteen minutes, maybe there was a mistake in the strategy somewhere.

I like questions that get to the point.

Sometimes it's easier to record a video once and explain everything properly than to answer the same questions for a month.

Once Artem suggested we set up an API together in the evening. I replied that I don't do that sort of thing, because I'd be cooking, then eating and watching a film with Polina. Seems like a pretty healthy set of priorities to me. The API wasn't going anywhere. Dinner could have gone cold.

Someone from Krasnoyarsk can be anywhere at all, but they'll quickly find a chance to explain why Krasnoyarsk is actually better.

Copenhagen is nice. But Krasnoyarsk is still Krasnoyarsk.

Moving abroad shows you well how many things you considered normal are really just the habits of a particular city or country.

In relationships, I like ordinariness.

I try not to take myself so seriously that every mistake becomes a drama.
