Happy

Writing code used to make me happy, now it makes my chest hurt. The mapping code I’ve been working on for months was based on a simple client login mode that gave me access to Google spreadsheets. They disabled that access last month and required oauth2 to get there. Day after day, and test after test, I just can’t make it work…

    Google and the oauth2 developers are a bunch of smartass punk kids who live in their own world of tech badass. Examples and real world solutions don’t play in their world. You either get it, or you don’t…
