I spent the last few weeks trying to create a straightforward no-code app – login page, show a profile – I ended up going back to code to get it done in a few days. If I didn’t know the code, I would have had two options in front of me; Invest myself in a company’s specific framework and learn “their way” to do No Code. Not do what I want, but use some of…
If it’s valuable to you, it’s Good Work. That means it needs doing. That means someone isn’t doing it. That means it falls to you to do it. That can get frustrating because no one else is doing it, but perhaps they aren’t doing it because they don’t see what you see.
When you start building code, insurmountable amounts of code that you had not planned on writing at the onset, to work with the platform. It’s time to move on. You tried, the fit isn’t there, move on.
Complain about it. Walk away from it. Work on it. That’s it, no further explanation needed. You can apply all three to any problem – get angry at it at first glance, take a breather from it and then come back to work on it. Nothing wrong with that approach, just don’t focus on the first two for too long.
“I’m better than them, I should be doing that?” But you’re not, so you can either keep dwelling on it, move forward. No one is stopping from going ahead and doing it on your own, somewhere else, in another role, perhaps just not with there. The choice is up to you how long you want to let it hold you back.
