Working on work you didn’t initially work on.

Working at a media firm that has in-house web design and development is just different enough to be a parallel experience to freelance web design/dev. Yeah, there’s teamwork, there’s communication and idea relays from client at the front of the house to the team at the back, and the constant schedule of everything being due practically before it’s asked for.

However.

The biggest difference I’ve experienced from behind the keyboard- is working on code I didn’t write. I have a newfound appreciation for sticking to the good ideas and best practices, I’m commenting my code more so that even if I have to come back to my work I can jump back into where my mind was when I decided to build the way I did.

I was charged with updating a client’s website today and upon opening it up, I wanted to shake the hand of the person or people that wrote it. Line indentation, PHP pages that use includes for all shared components, consistency, commented JavaScript, etc. Immediately took the job from long and arduous to manageable and projected to take less time than myself and the rest of the team are expecting. This makes the whole project feel more like surgery than going to war.

This, and a couple of other experiences have made me recommit myself to building projects with this eventuality in mind having been on the receiving end. Beyond that, it’s incredibly informative to read over other’s work and see the right way, the wrong way, and the other way you didn’t think of approaching the project.

In short, well written and commented code singlehandedly cut the overtime I’ll be putting in over the weekend down to a couple of hours while still making a Monday deadline. My girlfriend will be thrilled that I’ll have some time to spend. Moral of the story: do it right because you’ll help the next guy look really awesome because the work gets done so quickly, you’ll make their significant other happier, and you might be the next guy under the hood.

Dreaded moments with a VM running Windows Vista for good ol’ Internet Explorer 7 testing. OF COURSE! It has problems.
It makes my Mac feel dirty and hearkens back to the days I had to troubleshoot why Vista wasn’t playing well with the Windows 7 machines on a network. Ugh.



To end on a good note, if you want a completely awesome web development environment, try Sublime Text 2. It won me over from the also wonderful Notepad++.

Blog following the endeavors of an HTML/CSS front end dev diving into learning Ruby on Rails, and setting a goal for writing his first application in 16 weeks. Brilliant!

This same idea has been knocking around in my noggin for just a minute…

Closer…

It’s just over two weeks in time, but I’d say about bit less than 2 weeks of days worked on, but my site/portfolio is that. much. closer. Feeling really good, and it’s a rad exercise to quantify theoretical for practical. It’s going to be good to lock this down and launch it. Goal: by the end of this week. I’m scheduled for camping, so it’s going to have to be before I drop of le grid.

After that, back to studying. So much to learn, and so much excitement.

You’d be amazed at what is available on the internet. The democratization of information literally puts so much of anything you want to know about just a few clicks away.

Awesome. I’ll post a link here (obviously).

One and a half months since I’ve dived back into this stuff, and it seems like it’s taking too long, but it hasn’t even been a minute yet…

In other news, it’s incredibly easy to lose track of time while working.
