Flutter is basically how my poor soul trying to get compatible with my 6 different personalities and ends up being a disappointment from time to time.4

Poor fellas. I feel what you're going through.
Look how spontaneous they were in mentioning the workaround part. Be vocal even if you have nothing to offer. 🤷🏻♀️2 -
I do not represent the company I work for. My rants do not imply only the personal problems of mine but also the problems in general. I represent only myself. Judge me for my words. Don't judge the company that I'm currently at or previously was.
Unless I'm clearly mentioning the specific environment.6 -
When they handover your codes to some arrogant developer, and the guy starts complaining in almost every small feature.
At least get some time to understand other people's psychology and coding style man!2 -
Please don't make junior developers feel they're a burden.
Have you ever googled "how to mentor junior developers"? It's quite mind-blowing how many articles, talks and panels are on this topic. And yet still junior developers are not feeling welcomed in their companies.
Yup, you guessed it, we also have something to add (based on our own experience):
1. Asking for help is not easy. Please don't blow juniors off by telling them to read docs when they ask a question. Always assume they've read it and did a sprint to solve the problem. They ask you, because they see you as a mentor and really need your help. If you can, spend more time with them and guide through the entire problem solving process.
2. Please don't think "I learnt it this way so you should too". If you're in charge of teaching a junior developer, don't expect them to be a carbon copy of yourself. Because even though in your opinion your approach is more "pro", they might not be there yet to use it properly. And last, but not least:
3. Of course, juniors will compare themselves with seniors on their team. And there'll be moments they feel so guilty and so afraid that they cost the company too much, that they need training, and supervision, or are between projects and are not bringing in any money, and they'll fear that their company regrets hiring them. Make sure they don't feel like a burden. As juniors, we often
have this misconception what is expected from us.
Dear tech companies, please set very clear expectations and tell your juniors you're happy. Don't get us wrong here. We don't expect unicorns, roses and pats on the back from companies. We do understand- this is business, and at the end of the day we all are here to make money. To do so, companies need to make smart investments. Junior dev with a great assistance, planned support, and a clear training program will become a great asset. It really is as simple as that.12 -
My 5 yrs old nephew asked me to make a new Play Store for him. As his old one always asks to uninstall previous apps due to lack of storage! 😶10

Suggestion please!
I work basically on native android applications. From last week I started exploring cross platform and chose React native. I have zero knowledge on JS. And now it seems very hard to grab. I started a project and learning whatever I'm needing on that purpose. Some props I'm shooting blindly and components I don't even understand clearly how they are working.
Please suggest me a convenient way or guide me with some resources to alleviate my frustration! Pretty please!4 -
My co-worker gave me assets for my project with names like- layer_1, layer_1_copy, layer_1_copy_copy...2
