Demolishun3288651dThis platform has been a collection point for the mentally ill. Welcome home brother in mental instability. Seriously though welcome back. Oh, and have the official devrant welcome, again, FUCK OFF! ;-)
-
undaunted25851dI just looked into devRant after a loooong time too. I really should be here more often again!
Welcome back Tayo! -
Alice14151d@undaunted Yeah, I don't really associate with this community anymore. I just look at it like 3 or 4 times a year in total of which most are because someone mentions it to me in some way - and if I remember to do it, I write my one post.
-
undaunted25851d@Alice Yea, I can understand that. But then I was really lucky to catch you here and that makes me happy :)
-
Alice14151d@undaunted I'm also happy when old members remember me.
To be fair, I'm not really active on any platform aside from Discord, TikTok and a few art related websites, so it's not that I make a huge difference between this platform and others nowadays.
A lot of stuff cleared up on my mind the past few years and I realized active text platforms are just not mine. -
undaunted25851d@Alice It was really sad to see how everything went down back then. But I'm glad that things cleared up for you.
I found a new hobby in text based roleplaying, which I do pretty extensively for around a year on Discord now. Otherwise I'm mostly a lurker, mainly on Lemmy. -
Alice14151d@undaunted Oh that's nice.
I found my new main hobby in ttrpgs such as Dungeons & Dragons and Call of Cthulhu. -
undaunted25851d@Alice I've never played D&D, partly because I'm afraid of that huge set of rules and because I've never found a group to play with. But I played quite some Cthulhu! It's been a few years since the last time unfortunately, but it was always a lot of fun!
-
undaunted25851d@Alice sure! I'm to stupid to find my correct handle in the discord app so try that link. I'll remove the message afterwards

Haven't been here for a long time, kinda amazed I still had an account to be honest. There used to be a bunch of people I chatted with regularly on here, but my mentally ill self decided at some point to self sabotage (surprise surprise) and cut contact with almost everyone.
That said I've gone through quite a bit of therapy, which has definitely improved my outlook on life and allowed me to do some much needed self reflection. Has that made life better? Hard to say, but I like to think I've got a grasp on my mental health now, with the occasional relapse, because shit's a ๐process๐.
I'd like to apologize for the hurt I've caused some people here, you know who you are. My behaviour at times has been inexcusable. There's no sugarcoating it.
The past years have been a rollercoaster to say the least. Switched jobs multiple times. Went from doing frontend exclusively, to fullstack, then backend, and now engineering lead responsible for all architecture and infrastructure, learning a lot about myself and people around me along the way. Somehow I managed to get into a somewhat stable relationship, which is still a big WTF from time to time. The company I currently work for has had a metric fuckton of layoffs, just like the company I worked for before that. I can tell the lack of stability in work still affects my mental health a lot, but seeing how I've been growing a lot personally while the market seemingly has gone to shit gives me some level of confidence. I'll be alright.
This is mostly a sign of life to whom it may concern. I'm alive, existence is dreadful but manageable, shit's hard, but it's all gonna be okay in the end. I may or may not post a rant from time to time, as management loves unrealistic deadlines, and the PM can't say no to the CEO for some reason so her work ends up on my plate most of the time as well. Oh and of course the primary product of the company had a codebase which made me want to gorge my eyes out. So yeah, plenty to rant about.
