web programming burnout

I have been coding CSS for 3 hours now.

I am starting to look at objects in real life and thinking "that picture frame has a 50px border."

Also: I hate Internet Explorer. What a piece of shit, it is hellspawn. Except IE7. At least that SORTA obeys web standards.

Anyone else do web design?

    i did some software design in high school

    but that was more focused on planning and flowcharts than actual coding

    which is good because its much easier to dumb things down and pretend you know how they work than to actually figure out how to make them work

    eg i downloaded my major assignment off internet and just retooled it a bit to make it do more things instead of figuring out how exactly how the code worked in the first place and writing the whole thing

    so yea thats my advice
    get web design off internet instead of doing everything yourself

    I get paid to do this shit.

    My job is to make things look the same in as many web browsers as possible..

    My boss forwarded my an email last week from someone complaining that the sites didn't work in IE5 mac and I died a little inside..

    Luckily now the grunt of the design work has been done I am now concentrating on more fun stuff like PHP and AJAX development.. It's neat and everything clicking on a block of text and making it transform into an editable textarea, but it's so unaccessible it makes me a little sad.

    Sometimes I wonder... everyone complains about how IE dosn't follow standards.

    Yet IE is the browser that's used in most computers.

    Shouldn't that mean that the standards are the problem, instead of the browser?

    I'm learning how to do XHTML/CSS, but stuff like IE makes me not want to bother. Why, god, why?

    that's like saying "Well, I know the speed limit is 35, but everybody drives 70. Doesn't that mean that the speed limit should be 70?"

    No. No.

    Standards are there so everybody has a reference point. Standards are good. IE is bad.

    I went to school for web design, but decided to work for my dad instead in print design.

    some days I question that choice.

    The thing is, IE claims to follow the standards. However, it is buggy in various ways that make no sense. So making a page that works in IE 5, 5.5, 6, and 7 (even just on Windows!) is an enormous pain.

    Dude they are so fucking easy to use. There's no excuse. I was hex-editing files in eighth grade, so it's not that hard a concept. Seriously, change "10" to "2" or "16" and it's the exact same system.

    3 hours is less of a burnout and more of a tiny flicker.

    Is what your coding dynamic? Or you just can't get it to look right?
