I work in a BPO. I like my current assigned foreign client with continuous work and my BPO company wants me to assign to a local client to start from scratch again.

I invested time and effort for this hard foreign client then after all that they will replace me in the future with other employee? Quite sad 😞

Other teams not related to my project bothering me with some on top requests not related to my project. I have lots of tasks to do in my project. I'll put those to my client hours and tell my client about it. I will not put those in my non office time because during those time I am sleeping to help cure my illness. I need lots of sleep.

Imagine you are in a small BPO company and your client work hours is 2pm - 10pm. Then your BPO manager will set up a 1 hour meeting at 8am 🤣 so basically your personal time will be used for that meeting.

Good luck to your body clock 😂

Backend developer does not even sort his API results by ID or name. Damn. I hate dependencies like this. Simple things but they are too lazy to do.

I don't like many sudden unplanned meetings appearing during your estimated development hours. It consumes some development time and destroys your momentum.

We follow the 2 weeks sprint that contains sprint ceremonies like sprint planning, demo, retro, daily stand ups and backlog grooming meetings. My capacity should be less then 80 hours since there are sprint ceremonies and unplanned meetings that happen during development hours. Unfortunately, my capacity is still set to 80 hours and meetings hours are not deducted. This puts me to a disadvantage as I need to do unpaid OT/weekend work just to make up for the lost time consumed by meetings.

Those 1 hour/30 minutes meeting piles up thus consuming development work hours. So a simple example is that you have 32 hours estimated to finish a big user story but sudden unplanned meetings and sprint ceremony meetings will consume some of that 32 hours. I will bring this up in our next retrospective meeting.

React or Angular - The Best Tech Stack for Your Development Team

Good thing that I have watched this. I like React too but Angular is still my preference.

Unli unpaid overtime and work on weekends 💀

2 hours of sleep because of a hard deadline. Now I will sleep most of my Saturday and work again tonight for free because I need to catch up. Also hate the nasal cycle that wakes me up and suddenly I'm hungry too. Ate breakfast and will wait probably 30 minutes then sleep again.

Have you experienced this also?

Someday I will rely on passive income and not on my job. Gotta escape the rat race 😁

Why do big enterprise companies like Java + Spring Boot as their backend?

When starting a new project, is it still best to use Rest API than GraphQL?

Most big enterprise companies use Rest API.

So I started learning Java and there are lots of boilerplate code. To use some Date functions there is a requirement to import it first before you can use it lol. In PHP and JS no need to import anything so less code.

Workers work just hard enough to not be fired and owners pay just enough so that workers won't quit. 😅

Off Topic Rant: so the condo I'm currently renting in have 2 elevators but only 1 is functioning. They turned off the other elevator so that they can save some electric bill. I doubt it is being fixed because it is still not working up to this day. Now there's a waiting time for the elevator because only 1 of them is working. Rathole and shithole Asian country I'm in.

Off topic. I'm a high income dividend investor but Tesla stock is really tempting. Should I invest in Tesla? What type of investor are you?

I just got into stocks 1.5 months ago now it became stonks. Good thing I'm a high income dividend investor and doesn't care if my capital get wrecked. RIP $240.

I hate scheduled meetings then it gets cancelled. It destroys my development mood. Also meetings that go overtime.

In your free time, do you find freelance projects / side hustled to earn money or learn new work related skills?

Ok so I was browsing youtube then I saw this. My brain is polluted lol I thought this is some ( . Y . )

Just got into investing and now I'm addicted. This is better than games. Hope I used all my time and money in investing instead of games. Good thing I don't play games anymore (nft games excluded).

Why YouTube tutorials mostly shows postgres and not MySQL/mariaDB?

Why Uber Engineering Switched from Postgres to MySQL

So should I stop learning Postgres? I only know MySQL as my RDBMS.

I just bought Stephen Grider's uDemy course about postgre lol

Off Topic: so the doctor is prioritizing senior citizens in the line. I'm 30-40 years old. I was here around 12:30pm and already sent my appointment to the doctor's assistant. Now it is 3 hours already and I'm still not being called. There are new senior patients coming and after a few minutes they are being called. I approve senior priority but how about me? How long should I wait? Should the doctor always prioritize new senior patients coming in?

If only I new about this then I would have come here at night to not waste my time.

I just experienced near death because of high blood. Super strong blood pressure. Avoid coffee, playing games, and sleeping very late at night. This is my advice as a survivor developer. I want to share this to help you. For fast deadlines or hard user stories, always negotiate reasonably with your SM or PM or PO or client.

Thank God he have me a 2nd chance at life. Take care of your health. Don't worry about deadlines. Health is more important. Always pray. I deleted all of my games especially my beloved call of duty mobile and clash of clans. I'll forget all games that I know because those contributed to my high blood pressure.

When you have a headache or head pressure or eye twitching . Stop what you are currently doing and relax, measure your blood pressure and contact your family asap. Take it seriously. My wife saved me.

Dev hours for a 2 week sprint is eaten by countless meetings and the deadline will not move. During sprint planning all meetings should be stated there or there will be number of hours allowed for the meetings as it will eat development hours.

I hate meetings all of a sudden during development.

Was in a meeting. Someone said "fuck records". I was like lol wtf then my brain just realized that he just said "fact records" Lol haha the hell 🤯😂

I want to study Java + Spring Boot but I hate the long syntaxes and boilerplate codes. Too many codes to do simple things turns me off.

Damn this quokka. Saw a discount today and purchased it. Now I can't make it work to my existing create react app. Just wasted $25 because of the hype.

I hate myself. I have insomnia. Sleeping is hard for me. I can be easily waken up by little movements, change of temperature and even little noise. Also I have a nasal cycle. When I'm asleep I can even wake up because of this stupid nasal cycle.

A long deep uninterrupted sleep or breathing in both of my nostril is heaven for me.

Way back no full stack. Now theres full stack and companies expect us also to be full stack + DevOps God that knows Azure, AWS, Jenkins, Docker, Ansible , puppet etc.

They want to save money and hire a one man IT department.

Full stack web and mobile developer with DevOps God skills.
Frontend = Angular React
Backend = Java Python
DB = NoSQL, MySQL, Firebase, Postgres
