I think the more you learn the more stupid you feel.

Still better than "Hi" and nothing else. 2h later when you send "hi" back they already have 2000 chars prepared to send to you.

I wish I could love it again. But after work I have no desire at all to code personal stuff and at work it's not about programming anymore. Maybe a few minutes a day, the rest is dealing with people.

But every now and then I need to write a nice little algorithm and I'll spend every minute I get to optimize it and make it beautiful ☺️

Work yea, code not anymore.
But I did in the past. Sometimes even found the solutions through dreams 😅

He's a junior.
"My junior" I assume you're his supervisor?
Explain it to him and tell him to do it the proper way he'll learn and you'll not have to correct him again. Win win 👍

We've all done weird things when we were starters.

How's the cost of living? Comparable to other EU countries? If so that's a very decent salary..

@alexbrooklyn 😲 where are you from?

3400ish€ in Ireland with 11years exp

Password swordfish

I rode a 50cc dirt bike when I was like 12 and almost killed myself 🤣

@BubblePOP it's a cheap travel projector, pretty bad but I'm too cheap to pay for a TV license so I'm sticking with it 😅

And no I didn't take a photo of my screen, I took a photo of the wall - it's on a projector.

Maybe they are firing you.. take the job and just stay when they fire you😬

I call myself a software engineer and all I do is looking at things more logical than non-software people 🤷

Don't know anything about engineering but I know how to logically put a system together by using, what in my head, is common sense. Just that it's less common than I think.

I stoped most of those 5 years ago..😅

To get a job you might be right but to make more money in your current company:
- trick your boss into thinking what he wants is doable
- trick your boss into thinking what you did is what he asked for
- piss of stupid ppl at major clients
- collect credit from everyone else on client side for pissing off the guy noone likes
- don't mess up annual review
- if you do mess up and get kicked, your clients will want to work with someone like you and offer you a job 😂

And you'll be good for a good while.

@Midnight-shcode it shows you're taking initiative and you actually care about that job I guess 👍
And it's out of the box to send in the solution out of the interview 😅

@Voxera no, not yet but I'm fairly confident they won't want me. Was the 2nd worst interview I ever had, I wouldn't even hire myself after that 😅

@lambda123 yea, same for me 😅 I'm a dev, not a CS teacher. I've never needed to know any of that theory in real life but I see how it's a good way for them to filter out some candidates.

Although I have over 10y experience, I never went to college so my knowledge of the theory is a burning dumbster.

Can you actually type the same speed on those?

I type a decent speed but I tried those ergonomic keyboards years ago and they slowed me down a good bit. Like at least 15-20%.

I posted a window shot a while ago, it was in Ireland and behind my window was a castle. There's like 10x500^1000 apartments with castles Infront of the window here.

the fellow ranters were trying to locate me for days..

Let's see if they find yours🙃

@scor it's definitely a good salary as taxes are pretty low. I'd look for a place outside the city near the German border though 😅

I like TDD.. although I do more of a development driven testing nowadays 😅

@jonas-w yea it is.. I feel like over the past years nodejs tried to push java out but never really managed to.

There's less demand for sure but still pretty much. As most java devs have some Js, python etc experience as well I feel like they often wanna make us fullstack devs though.

@connormon not drinking is fine, as long as you're not a vegan 😅

@Demolishun thanks for being my rubber duck 🕺

There we go. Was my weird phones ratio I think

@Demolishun 😂

Crap.. well, the colours are visible at least.

Is it my phone or is that image messed up?

@rantsauce I see you understood my point 😂

Currently I actually don't have any shitty ones.. couple of grads that are learning, a few seniors that should be juniors IMO but no shitty ones 🤷

New ppl strating soon though so let's see where that goes 😅
