2nd week on a new job, already been assigned smaller Jira tickets to work on.
But it takes me awhile to figure it out and close the ticket, coz it’s React and I’m completely new to it and I feel I have no idea what I’m doing.
Imposter syndrome hitting hard3 -
Is there a real difference between software engineer vs software developer vs programmer? Or is it just terminology?9
-
Got an offer from some company, they seem nice and all and the stack is something I’m used to. But my issue is diversity, I went to their office once and I didn’t see any diversity whatsoever in the team, at all.
People underestimate the importance of diversity in a workplace, it’s surprising to see that even in 202114 -
Has anyone used LDAPS in Node.js with activedirectory package?
I’ve used it for LDAP but getting issues when changing the URL to LDAPS, Abs I cant find proper examples on Google2 -
Why would some companies advertise a job post as Software Engineer, and only to find out deep in the process after doing multiple interviews, that it’s actually a support job??
Seriously why the fuck do that? That’s disingenuous and misleading as fuck?
And why would a dev be dropping a dev job and experience to do tech support ? Is it even worth it?
Even if it is, can you easily switch back to an actual dev job afterwards?
Wow the things some of these companies do 😶🙄😑🤦🏾♂️3 -
Fuck you for testing devs with them online algo tests instead of giving them real projects to do as a way to assess their coding skills15
-
As a developer on the job market, would you rather have a technical assessment like one of those algorithms tests on Codility and other platforms ? Or would you prefer to be tested by building a little project actually related to what you’d be doing on a daily basis if hired?3

What is the average salary for senior 5+ years experience developer with an AWS certified developer certification?8

You’re know you’re screwed when you get pulled into a project you weren’t involved with in the beginning, and coz of tight timelines they tell you “it’s time to jump and swim now”

I’ve been assigned a Kubernetes task and I must say I really hate this shite. I’d rather code than be doing this 😑😶😑2

Writing Node entirely in TypeScript. Mini MEAN stack front and back entirely in Typescript... What a beauty 😍

Been applying for jobs for a while and finally got 2 offers. The first company already sent me theirs, good money and tech stack that I'm used to but I'd have to relocate to another province and city.
The second company is the one that got back to me first, they haven't sent their offer letter yet but it's a good offer. Same pay as the one where I'd have to relocate (which I don't really feel like anymore).
And the deadline for the relocation job is today, I dunno what to do a d which option to choose between the 2.6 -

What's the hype about the Fortnite game? I'm still not impressed with the game on its own, and yet everyone seems to be enjoying the shite out of it3 -

When you haven't seen your family for a very long time (coz you're overseas) and they ask for recent pictures of you (I don't like taking pictures)...so now I gotta take pics and selfies for them folks 🙄🙅🙍6 -
This is why I sometimes hate freelance work. You do the stuff and when it's time to pay, ducking clients come up with stories4

I really hate these TestDome tests. Fuck!!!! I just done ruined my chances of getting that job after that great interview 🤕1

Shittiest day of the year. 2018 is not gonna start well for me, lot of hustle until I get back on my feet3
-
Am I unlucky or perhaps in the wrong place if I’m always stressed as a junior dev coz too much pressure and they give you super tight deadlines and do languages that you never done before?
Or is what most people go through when they were juniors9 -
Being a junior dev sometimes sucks. People always gotta second guess your work and make you feel like shit. And never apologize when they realize they were wrong. 🤬🤬🤬2

Finally figured out big I had in my code after three days. Now I’m screaming “Eureka” feeling like Archimedes 🤘🏿🤓
