Started coding at the age of 13, now a professional software engineer and Scrum Master, creating and maintaining enterprise solutions. Eat - Sleep - Code - Lift - Repeat 💪🏾
The most recent example was the 10pm idea to "Just upgrade react and rewrite all components to arrow functions and use hooks".
Worst.Idea.Ever.
I upgraded react, rewrote all components to be arrow functions and use hooks (useState, useRef, useEffect), aswell as property destructuring (const Comp = ({ classes, children, fancyProp }) => instead of just const Comp = props =>).
This took me about 1 hour and I just wanted to run it to check everything is behaving the same before pushing the changes.
Oh boy, I was so sure I'm gonna make it to bed on time!
Starting with wrong dependencies after the react upgrade, I needed to upgrade other packages too. And this was where the struggle began. Suddenly babel showed me just Not implemented and nothing else.
After searching a while I became aware that I forgot to upgrade the react-router-dom package.
Next try: ... Object({...}) not implemented. 😒
A good 30 minutes later and with rage pulsating veins, I found out that the @material-ui/core package was upgraded and now there are some changes I need to implement.
Almost 4 hours later, I finally got everything working again and I swore to myself that I would never do something like that so late in the evening 😂
