Quit my first dev job. Don’t have another gig lined up. Here’s hoping I find another gig before I run out of savings.

Wish me luck, folks.

    Good luck 👍

    Took the liberty to take a peek at your website. Good one.
    The typography/readability could be improved. At least on mobile. Like in increasing the line height and distance between paragraphs. Also the optimal reading line length is around 72 characters or 10-12 words per line. Also the font size could may be bigger around 18-20 pt especially with a white and filigrane font.

    @heyheni holy hell I truly have no eye or talent for design. All I noticed was that it looked nice and it didn't make me puke so my thought process was: that must probably be a good design

    @don-rager exactly 🙂 it's a good website. The font and colors give it this unique upcheering charisma. I like it too.

    Good luck mate.

    How long did you work there?
    Did you learn enough?

    @shes-coding I feel like everyone has a limit and I’d reached mine. That sounds vague, but it’s the most I feel comfortable saying given that my username is what it is.

    @just8littleBit I will have worked there 10 months by the time my notice period ends. And I think I learned a lot more than I would have at almost any other company.

    @AmyShackles It sounds like a startup then?

    If you learned enough there, should be easy enough to find something new.the hardest part is to make the CV look interesting..

    @Ranchu Ugh. I think I'm off tequila for a while. Half a liter was a tad much and my head still smarts.

    @AmyShackles Congrats.

    You're not alone.
    Party of s friend, had nothing to do, drank around 80% of a bottle of Jim beam.

    Spent the party in the bathroom talking to the wall about my mistakes and then blacked out.

    Second and most important thing is that i advice u that in the meantime u chose wisely what skill to improve in order to get the perfect ratio of "performance in coding/enjoyability"

    Ur personnal projects may add up to ur portfolio, dont consider them as a game, code like if ur boss is watching u
