Last day at ClientCo, and I'm finishing off documentation

There's only so much one can think of to say about fields called "title" or "description". Next time I'm going to use random strings for all method and property names, and make the code as convoluted as I can, so I at least have something to write about - indeed, something to figure out - at the end of the gig

Try working song titles into the text.

e.g.

This function is to calculate when the system is 'Under Pressure'

Last day next week for me, client seems to have given up bothering me.

Ugh. Two days WFH watching movies this week.

Although on my To Do list it says "look up 'pro-active'"

To be fair, ClientCo weren't really asking for a lot more than the odd readme; but one important bit I've done is a node.js app which is full of asynchronous IO and callbacks. I figured it could do with being properly documented as you can't easily see where it's going even if you try to single-step through it in a debugger - if some HTTP request comes back when you're not looking, a whole bunch of things could happen behind your back

Another client laid low!

enjoy the bench.

How do you find node.js Nick (if you can bear to discuss it now you're not paid to know about it)?

I once spent a few weeks debugging a really complex set of multi dimensional bugs. I eventually figured out it was somewhere in a small section of about 12 lines of code. Looking at the comment it said "Hello CoolCat this is your old mate Fred here, I couldnt figure out how to get this to work either, I knew you would get here eventually, sorry mate"

Fred of course had left several months earlier

Those were the days
