Oh man after going through the tornado this past weekend I really should have taken the week off. Going back to work just left myself open to being the go to for a lot that is being done with the project and all the extra stress is just eating at me. Have to figure out a balance and set time aside to mentally recover throughout the day. Went walking with my wife today and it felt great. Hoping to get through the rest of the year with minimal stress. #servicenow #portaldev

Honestly never want to do portal development again with ServiceNow unless it’s from scratch completely custom. Working with existing vendor provided code is a nightmare. When it works, it’s great obvi.. but when it doesn’t work how it should, holy lord it’s a pain getting a fix. Even trying to do a custom workaround becomes a hassle due to how everything is structured. #devslife #servicenow #portaldev

Got through release 1.1 for work project with minimal issues. These 1.2 features are having some serious issues. Platform limitations are really crippling right now but I’m optimistic that we will work things out. Just have to take the time to dig in and find the spots to customize and make things work how we need it to. #servicenowdev #portaldev #devslife

After going through thousands of lines of code to refactor and pull in code from plug-in devs I pushed the changes in and it didn’t work. Troubleshoot, revert and try again in the morning. I think I figured out the issue (sneaky dependency change) but have to start fresh with it in the morning. Worst case I start over and refactor again. No huge deal. #devslife #servicenow #portaldev

Loved the start of today. Teams messages start going off about a possible bug and before they could even get the ticket in I had already fixed it and didn’t even have to talk to anyone. MAGIC!! Hope everyone is having a great week. #servicenow #portaldev #devslife

Been struggling with figuring out a portal issue in Servicenow. Created a new page and pulled all widgets in from an OOB page that are “needed” for a new feature. For some reason, the page isn’t getting the correct data, also there is magical template somewhere that handles the layout of some of the widgets and I for the life of me can’t find it. Going to be a rough week finishing bugs and dealing with this mess. #servicenow #portaldev

UAT has been overall a success for the UI team. Feeling good that all the work we put in ahead of time is paying off. The longer days through the sprints made this last two weeks a little quicker and gave us more time to update documentation and clean up the code a little bit. Feeling good with the few bugs that are left. Minor things that were pushed and now are coming back as wanted things. #servicenow #serviceportal #portaldev

Servicenow service portals will drive you insane I tell ya. Same code, same browser, same user and template shows one person one thing, another person another thing. Makes no sense to me. 😂 having a great start to the week. #servicenow #serviceportal #portaldev
