I'm starting a new 6 month contract for my software client
By David Reeder, 02 February 2023
I am happy to report that my software client loves my work and wants to give me a new six month contract. I am working on legacy systems as well as the new "platform" for their software projects.
The idea of the new platform is to have a base for all new software projects. This will lead to more consistent design and code across all their products, bringing a conherant look and making maintenance easier.
I'm continuing to work with the team in DevOps. I found myself creating multiple new git branches every day so wrote a Codepen to speed up the naming of branches based on Task/PBI names: https://codepen.io/davidreeder/pen/BaGrbgx
On a legacy system it's been a fun challenge pushing CSS to it's limits because we could not change the HTML of the system. With a sprinking of jQuery/JavaScript it's worked well.
On the new "base" system, I have been writing vanilla JavaScript to introduce more functionality and working with Gulp tools to compile my less/CSS.
