Yep. Not Only Seeing Ways For Developers To Communicate In Ways That Are Both Pruductive AND Nice.

Yep. Not only seeing ways for developers to communicate in ways that are both pruductive AND nice.

People also share their struggle, not only their catastrophes and successes. Which is far more important to deal with than the two other ones.

And people share learning/knowledge resources so you can save them, and find them when you need them for things!

It brings a MUCH better real view into how developers and people are. Because no one here is losing their job or real life status if they complain about their firms Management flaws.

So I'm new to Tumblr and I really hate social media in general...

I'm about my business, I'm a developer coding 24/7, would tumblr bring something unique to the table?

From reading your entire blog more than once... I think yeah, a bit...

And it is also me...

I am wondering if this is something a lot of developers have... Or any other group defined by their work...

My life is a constant cycle between "I need to rest before I burn out" and "I'm wasting my potential, I should work harder"

Very much agree!

One decent way to deal with it I found. I wait until they are juuuust done speaking and say a little loud "No problem" It's a decent way to… I donno what to call it… punish it a bit? So that if it was an accident and they just kept their response short it is still ok, but enough that it will not become a habit… hopefully…

Developer at work took credit for my work, that I did for him, during Monday's meeting. My slow self only realised he did that just this morning...

I fixed the bug that literally made them stop putting the company website live for a couple of days (SQL query error) annnnnd he took the credit and said "Yeah, I pretty much fixed the bug" and only I realised he said that.

I'm quitting the job anyways. Take the credit, at least deep down, you know you actually couldn't figure it out and came to me for help xoxo

I am not a big fan of the "Ignore that you are being asked to work unreasonably hard" push. The qualification that "it only happens for a year" does not make it ok.

Yes, it will happen. Universities and corporations are bastards and have no issue pushing more and more work on you, but that does not make it ok.

You might need to push through it, and it is good to get help to survive it.

But it does NOT make it ok. And pushes like this (With no data, mind. Just "Text on the internet said so") that tries to make it ok and inevitable, dangling a vague reward if only you allow yourself to be abused for a while is BAD. The mental damage, and the bad learning that happens when people have to work 60-80 hour weeks (Which my University required) COSTS you. And it costs YOU, not the university, or the corporations you worked for. They count the abuse as a great success.

Yep. Also... Doing things you like and are proud of is good for your mental health. Which makes you more productive ( A bit like how physical training does )

I am right now learning Ruby ( for a potential job ) while training my C++ skill back to what they used to be :p

“it’ll take too long to learn xyz”

learning is everlasting. you do it everyday. you are now just being intentional with where your attention and energy is going. why aim for mastery when you can aim for enlightenment?

the time will pass anyway. do it. learn it. no one is stopping you but you! don’t waste anymore time wishing you were a genius from day 1 then continue staying in the same place. 1 year forward, you’ll wish you had started. stop that cycle and just start now.

the future you bears the fruit the present you labors.

growth is beautiful, don’t knock it.

Listen, it is not nice to call people out. Now stop blabbering and help me out. I need wheels with axils already attached so I can mount them on my robot. The software on him is a thing of beauty but apparently you need "Hard ware" to get the software to move around in meatspace and it is all sorts of bothers. /s

ok ive found some coding hashtags and they're way too wholesome. love yalls hustle but where is the chaos? the engineers that hate coding. but need it to continue going cause i have no other purpose. my blood stream is actually just bits. i want to die but not without my github on my tombstone.
