My coworker became super restless and incompetent during the initial 2020 Covid lockdown. Like playing hours of video games during work hours restless.

For one project, my coworker was working on the backend and I was working frontend. Coworker also wanted to be overlord of the epic branch.

My coworker merges the epic to our test branch and our code is broken. Coworker didn’t pull my FE changes before merging. Dude, I shouldn’t have needed to tell you to pull. You changed the api response that your BE code delivers so of course I had to update my FE code so it could work with this change.

I had to resolve the conflicts because coworker left work early to “rescue/pickup” their girlfriend from work.

You bet I leave this person on read when they try to text me on Signal

All that hypocrites call that "beauty" competition "Miss Universe" but the media is silent about how they never let ᔮᑯ ᒐᓪᕕᐊᓐᑭ from ᐋᓪᐸ ᑲᓐᑐᕆ and ᚛ᚑᚌᚐᚋ᚜ from ᚛ᚈᚑᚋ ᚄᚉᚑᚈᚈ᚜ to even enter the competition. Speak about equality. Rename it to "Miss Earth" then you racists, smh.

i feel like as an engineer , i should be building stuff, hobby projects but i don't seem to find a motivation. there is so little reward factor.

i have a dull job and therefore a lot of time. i am also 23 so i should be having a lot of excitement and energy, but am just... out of all that motivation. i want to build cool stuff : some streaming website/app, some social media platform, some cool system apps , but at the end no one is going to use it . why would u use a limited functionality gallary app when you have some very good apps? why would you use a netflix ui clone? what good will a blog website bring which has no blogs?

i am currently capable of making shit projects which are not going to be any rewarding to me, and therefore i do not build them.

i stead i waste my free time playing games that are atleast virtually rewarding :/

smh

Recruiter bot just emailed me with some offers, let's take a look...

"Hand-on Experience with SQL and NO-SQL Databases preferably Redux"

Whew! I was worried for a second, thank god they are using a Redux database and not one of those really crappy React databases! I'll really consider applying now.

smh

100 dollars to rebuild the whole frontend of their startup. what sort of humans run these Nigerian companies ? smh

client: "can you build out a staging server for us? here's all the code, everything you need"
me: "awesome, looking good, i have almost everything i need, just give me the credentials for the server, and I'll get started installing all the infrastructure"
client: "ok, try these!"
me: "doesn't work"
client: "this one?"
me: "doesn't work..."
client: "how about this one?"
me: "STILL NOT WORKING!!!"

imagine you want someone to do stuff on your server and you don't even know the root SSH password.... smh

why is this always a problem, use fucking 1password or something its 40 bucks a year, secure, and you can organize alllll your passwords. don't be a fucking boomer and write them on a piece of paper, or worse, apparently like my client, never know it or have it in the first place.

Our critical problem is not what kind methodology is better for us. Our real problem is that people don't give a fuck about good writing and landing ideas and solutions to a point where everyone in the team knows what the hell you are talking about.

YOU CAN'T WRITE UP A PROJECT IN LESS THAN A LINE and expect me to guess what the hell you want me to do. And even have the audacity to assign a date to it... smh

I truly believe that a back end needs to know about front end as much as a front end needs to know about back end.
And a more serious belief is that project managers / owners need to know about both. Thank you.

I have a lot friends and acquaintances in my whats app circle, whose lifestyle ranges from being on the edge of their salary every month to guys having lavish cars and flying to other countries.
I reside around the bottom half among these range and am trying to grow. but whenever i feel like being excited about something, i become slightly worried about either the people at floor or ceiling.

floor guys might be happy for me if i share an exciting solo trip or some other personal/financial achievement, but the ceiling guys will definitely smirk and sigh at me celebrating such a small achievement.

So for the lower folks with whom i share my excitement, i want to go just wild with my pictures and phone calls to them, while at the same time, try to be classy and conservative to be relatable to the guys above me.

i am destined to live such a hypocritical life . smh. that is why i love the pseudo anonymity that this platform provides. I can be completely open here
