alright! i have a temporary workaround for photosets (the screenshot on the left) but it’s not ideal for (for example) moodboards. if somebody has formatted their photoset like the middle screenshot, i’d like to be able to keep that formatting without it breaking (as it does in the screenshot on the right). does anyone who knows any css know how i might accomplish that, and also remind me never to try to optimise a custom theme for mobile ever again?

Do you like your job? Does it pay well? How did you learn programming?

it’s… haha, it’d be much better if not for the people. (or if the people i worked with were actually competent.)

so, i learnt to code on the job, but i had the advantage of having ridiculously nerdy friends. their favourite activities include getting drunk and playing spyro and having arguments about haskell. they forced me to install arch on my laptop. that meant i already had a basic understanding of linux, though, which turns out to be incredibly useful when you’re essentially a glorified sysadmin!

right now, it pays terribly, but that’s entirely because i’m there as an apprentice, rather than as a grad. starting salaries for graduates are around the 30k mark, which is preeeetty good as starting salaries go? i mean, i’m gonna have to wait a couple of years before i’m on that, but i think i’m willing to do so.
