Oh,I have learned a lot, I would not say from programming but from the career as a whole

Never get peer pressured
Always show empathy
If in a leading position, taking care of people is your top priority
Overconfidence will destroy a lot of good work
People by definition will always remember your mistakes
Never get over involved in the company you are working for, it's just a job
Your health is more than important
Nobody knows everything
Always be humble
There is a lot of bullshitters out there
Success is relative
Competition is high and there is always someone with better skill set, so you will suffer if you don't accept that

We all have been there

So I am on a vacation for a month and a few days before it ends. My boss calls me and tells me "why don't you take one more week" then he told me that's when he will be back to work as well because he is traveling. When I told him why he said he wants to talk to be before getting back to work.
When he found me sounding worried, he said don't worry there is nothing you are missing we just want to align our plans and give you updates on the period you were gone for.

When I asked him what if I wanted to get back to work sooner, he said I prefer if you wait till I come back

And now I am super worried and paranoid, advice please 😥

Hello guys,
TLDR;
leave a company where I have big influence with less technical challenges for a big company where I am challenged but jus as an individual contributor

I am working for a good company as a DevOps engineer, made a lot of achievements and literally moved the company to a whole new level, however I am working all alone, no mentorship but I get to lead everything and take initiatives

You can imagine the stress working a lone with a big scale in terms of production and other teams that I should support

Have been promised that we will get a team but it has been 15 months and nothing happens

I feel that technical I am not growing enough since I don't have time to improve or any mentorship

Now I am offered a senior position in one of biggest fashion/retail companies in Europe

And I am not sure if I should leave or not, btw it involves relocating

What is a cool naming scheme for the servers
for example we have 6 environments for the QC to run their tests, what would be a cool way to name them

I thought of bugs names,since we are a bug reporting company

what do you think guys

The usual

Person: VR, Machine Learning, E-commerce, AI, Cloud, SAAS

VC: Shut up and take my money

I am stressed out to the point that, when I am not I don't know what to do and I feel bored while I have a ton of things to get done, that I was unable to finish while stressed

Why on earth I am doing docs and sending them to the whole team, if they keep asking me how to do X and why is Y not working

YOU WILL KNOW IF YOU READ THE DOCS

GAAAAAAA

I really hate it when people ignore the messages I sent on slack

I don't mention you or the damn @channel for show

There is some shit that needs to get done, and I even hate it more when they ask me for something I already said on slack

Whaaaaat, you can't read now

So I work as a "Web Development Lead"
Which means I lead (frontend,backend and infrastructure teams)
Also I am in charge of infrastructure or devops or whatever you call it, which means I handle production issues, dev and staging environments,...etc

and I am a team of one, and today I asked for a day off because it's my wife's birthday

and suddenly everyone is blocked, everything is on fire, and the phone is not stopping ringing, I had to go out of the cinema theater to answer the non-stopping calls

I AM ASKING FOR A SINGLE DAY, A FUCKING DAY, EVEN IF SOMEONE IS BLOCKED SO WHAT IT'S NOT EVEN A DAY I ONLY NEED 6 HOURS

IS TO TOO MUCH FUCKING TO ASK

I was sleeping next to my wife and suddenly I raised my hand and shouted "gaaaa", when she asked what is wrong, I replied
"Kubernetes is misbehaving"
without waking up

So I can't VPN into my production servers because our fucking government decided to block them

How on earth can I work you ignorant basterds

Ok, I feel you fellow developer

Because rubber duck debugging is too mainstream

Look what I found, old memories :D

So I was opening a support ticket on the portal of our cloud provider

I went to copy the affected database instance to put it in the ticket

for some reason ctrl+c didn't work and I pasted what was in my clipboard instead

and didn't notice until the issues was submitted

This what was in my clipboard

My build is failing on the CI server
you are the DevOps engineer please fix it

this is not how this works, this is not how any of this works
