I just know I’m a bad engineer. No matter how hard I work to understand things like JS, large scale file organisation in a production codebase confuses me. Why is this a component? Why is this code in app.js and not in a component? Why do these things appear in this position on the page? Note that I’m still asking this with 3 YoE, so I don’t feel great about myself haha.

But what if I’m the dipshit? I fucking hate formal wear and I’ll die before I willingly enjoy dressing up.

I thought I was the only one who lived this experience. It’s fucking suffering constantly wondering if I’m next because my team is in a downturn.

The only correct way to refer to that site is Twitter.

I don’t think I’ve ever produced spaghetti code in my life…

Because my code never works in the first place.

Impostor syndrome is a fucking bitch. That’s why I gave up on ever thinking I’ll understand anything.

Wait, you guys have a clue? Junior dev here applying up to mid-level roles, and I’m so fucking lost at what I see as wizardry from everyone.

Closes ticket, marks Git issue as closed

I’m quite sure that atmospheric wind currents don’t change the direction of cosmic rays, lol.

It’s okay to be wrong

Some management is going to royally screw up by firing junior programmers since the senior programmers can get all the work done with the help of copilot

This just happened on the team I was on. I’m getting ready to interview for mid-level and senior SWE roles, but was let go from my most recent role a month and a half ago.

Terrible pay (like wildly below market), shit PTO, meaningless work…

Lol imagine having management that give a shit about anything but firing as many workers as possible to make themselves look better. Deloitte can suck my fat fucking balls.

Senior developer tip: Squash the evidence management

This is the Kerbal methodology.

This is the way.
