@mundo03 i don't even do coffee. Maybe that is my mistake in life.
-
@Letmecode guess i deserved that, glad we got that settled!
-
@theactionslacks the exact reason (1 of many) that i never want kids. I knew it. I am either doomed to live alone as is. Or start a family but lose the last privilage i give myself.
-
@Bacontaskmaster I have kids and still do side projects. Just neglect the kids. It's easy. Mine thank me by being sarcastic teenage brats. FML.
-
@Bacontaskmaster find another job.
Honestly you should feel good when you get home. Otherwise is a shitty job -
@tkglaser i feel like they all turn out like that, regardless of upbringing. But i will get back to you on this in 15 years or so. IF i even decide to ever stick my thing into a live bomb.
-
@curlyDev had a seperate rant on that part. My job is "fun" or as fun as it can be when i get to make games on my fav platform and such. It just pays shitty because of that. And any other serious job will probably make me bored out of my mind with repetitive boring programming only tasks. (i get to do some side stuff on my current job because we are a small team etc.) (Might have more much needed structure though) i am still conflicted on the whole thing. The minimal 1h drive doesn't help either.
-
@Bacontaskmaster so if your job is 9 hours(1 mandatory lunch hour) + 2 hours the drive (1h go 1h back), yeap understandable.
-
@curlyDev exactly that. I can't do much about it though. I live away from the city, because living in it drives me just as nuts :P closest company would potentially be 30min out. But that doesn't change the 9 hour work days either, i need to start living on my own as well so i need the money.
-
@Bacontaskmaster you are a star. You are the best. What do you care how others are doing? Just compare yourself to the day before. Fuck it... if you did better today, then imagine how youd be if u forcast it over 3, 4, 6, 10 years...
Don't forget to allocate time for masturbation -
@Bacontaskmaster @alwaysmpe Guys, you have ideas but no way to do anything? I have no idea yet time and skills. Not better though
-
@avedis eh, it just frustrates me how easy some stuff comes for some people. I understand i can't keep up with a marathon runner, but i am programming every day, i expect to keep up with other programmers, even if there is an experience difference of years. Masturbarion is obviously during my free time. I have 2 monitors for a reason!
-
@QCat i never said they were GOOD ideas, but yeah.
@thedevdevil oooh, i might be able to tie that though! We should have a dick off. The dick that makes the most spelling errors when writing code is proclaimed the biggest. It's only fair right? -
@Bacontaskmaster
you uhm... Don't....Do....Coffee???
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Do you even dev bro??
But seriously... On the same boat...
I think it's the place of work that makes us feel this way. In my previous company I was busier and I still worked on my own stuff. Now I don't even feel like updating my CV....
-
@antonis179 why did you leave your original job? Maybe it is the workplace partially.
My current workplace is a huge mess. It's fun, but in 3 years i have not had a single planned out project that was not managed externally. Nearly always we are acting on a whim of the boss, going with whatever, done whenever, and with as goal fuck knows what. You call it creative freedom, i call it an unorganized mess that nobody thought through before starting.
To me that is draining on it's own, even if there is 0 stress in the time department. -
@Bacontaskmaster are we working for the same company? :P
Well I had to leave for mandatory army service. Then I looked for something abroad before I went back to them and by then they were playing hard to get.
So I left them with their BS and applied elsewhere and started work within a week.
A month later I get a Skype message from the CTO of the previous company that they may have a job for me - I am still fucking laughing.
Is there ONE good company out there???
(Don't say Google I ain't gots the skills!!) -
@antonis179 i am a junior, don't ask me. I am currently in the pit of having to either stick to my contract because of stability. Or i can leave for 400€ more per month but end up in a new scary place of fuck knows where with fuck knows who. I am not good at communication nor moderation either. If you do not have that issue i recommend job hopping for every place that is willing to pay you just a bit more then the previous one. That is what many people do. Loyalty is not a thing anymore for most.
-
@Bacontaskmaster
In order to be loyal someone has to inspire you and provide some stability and continuous learning opportunities. Hasn't happened for me yet.
As for job hopping I am preparing an app ATM mostly for showcase (code-wise) and rewriting my CV to apply for a couple positions afterwards.
For the scary part I can't really help but think of it this way... What have you achieved while in your comfort zone?

How do you react?
I am so fucking jealous of all you assholes. Oh look at me, i am a full stack developer and yada yada. I have the time and patience to do whatever app or game i want and show it off.
Fuck, you.
If i get home, i am glad i can stay awake for dinner and play a little game before i go to bed and my next day starts.
I have ideas, i need to do some self study to get all parts of those ideas going, but i fucking can't.
I have no motivation and no energy to spend when i get home, and even the weekends rarely i will feel like proframming jack shit. When or how do you even do it?! It's driving me up the wall and it makes me feel useless.
Stop being better then me in every possible way!
