I HAVE THE JOB

Well I'm a bit exited sorry about that :D I'm moving to Nice. And right now I'm going to enjoy my day.

BTW it's about C++ and Cry engine. There is the work in progress : https://thearchitect-thegame.paris/...

See you :D

Hello everyone!
This is a kinda follow up to my previous rant:
https://devrant.com/rants/1442655/...

So, it’s been a week since I started the internship. I am kinda lost to be honest.
The first day was awesome, but I have been going downhill since then. I make so stupid mistakes and it seems like I always think different than my mentor/employer (me making mistakes). Then he corrects me and I have to rewrite the code which I had to spend hours to think and get working. 😕😕

As @RantSomeWhere said, the guy is actually nice and still appreciates me and helps me all the time. I am really thankful for that. 🙂

As @plant99 said, I do have to be working a lot to try and meet the tasks that I am given. The employer does tell me to not over work but I still do if I have to, to get the thing done. I don’t feel nice if I don’t finish the work. So I do spend up to 12 hours (not continuously) on it at times. 😅

The code base… oh my god!! It is so bad (to me). Don’t get me wrong, we use the linting and auto formatting tools, but I can’t get over the 2 space tabs in C++ code. It makes me feel like I am not looking at code but at paragraphs of mumbo jumbo stuff. 😭😭

Oh and yes, it is confirmed. I HATE FRONTEND WORK! Especially when languages like JS and C++ are used in combination and interact with each other. 😨😨😱😱
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate JS or frontend, but I hate doing it myself. So not my cup of tea. Kudos to those who actually do it! 😎👏🏻🎊

Overall, I guess, it is going decently. I feel so scared at times, consumed by the fear, that my code will be wrong and he’ll be disappointed in me. Yea I know that I shouldn’t be upset with how others feel. But it does make me sad when I disappoint my mentor (who is still rooting for me). 🙁

I am hoping to get better over time. This is definitely a great experience for me because my code has never been judged before. I have always been the “king of code” in my college/social circle. 🤭🤭

Honestly, this is actually humbling. I guess I definitely needed this 😅😅. And as they say, you don’t improve by being the top. You improve by leaping forward, ending up at the bottom of the heap of the next level, and growing up from there. 😅

Oh and I also realized - remunerative benefits are DEFINITELY motivating 😂😂😂😂

And the 5 days work also definitely makes me MUCH more excited for the weekends 😆😆😂😂

Thanks everyone for cheering, motivating, and giving me advise.

@oudalally I definitely found your advise quite helpful 😁😁😊😊

PS: ooh this my biggest rant/story yet! Yiiipppeeeeeee 😁😁😊😊

playing around with this is so captivating. that it doesn't really work well and you have to "optimize" your input makes it even more interesting. but when you use it too long, it starts messing with your brain and you start questioning your own perception of reality. what are "things" anyway xD

would be nice if dall-e 2 (which seems to actually work really well) was available to the public soon.. also, i want this for 3D structures, animations & games mechanics, imagine the fantastic uncanney valleys that would open up ^^

I made a GitHub Action which adds a "work-in-progress" loading gif to your README. 🦄

https://github.com/RocktimSaikia/...

You can use it as a nice little placeholder especially when creating a new repo until you actually update your readme with real docs.
(It will create a new README for you repo if there isn't one already.)

ps: I wanted to learn how GitHub Actions work so learned a lot by creating this tiny action.

OMG guys you're so amazing ☺. After-work hours have started with medium strong midlife crisis because https://devrant.io/rants/726393/...

And now I am almost getting this fucking sexy stickers 😍.

If (rant++ && !rant--) {
I.cry ("loudly").addEmotion(🤗);
}

Want to say THANK YOU!
