I missed the deadline to upload the homeworks of my son to school's web portal which blocked it from the UI. Luckily it was a terrible vue+laravel app, so as a responsible father and developer I uploaded the files with my own javascript and custom uploader UI

Please be kind to the open source maintainers, don't be harsh, try to contribute. I'm 35, used to being criticised everyday but there are many passionate young folks who are excited about maintaining open source projects, don't discourage them from day 1.

When I was living in the UK, I got rejected by Oracle and SpringSource where I even had a hard time paying for the transportation to travel to the interviews. (walked on the way back). Then I started PrimeFaces and build PrimeTek. #ShareYourRejections

Scrolling with a fixed height only? Well, no more. I've managed to a new "flex scroll" mode to PrimeNG (scrollHeight="flex") so that Table optimizes the space for scroll viewport dynamically. Best part is, it is all CSS with no JS involved.
