Story!!!

I'm feeling very bad for the choice I make...

TLDR: I started looking for a new job, just because the salary wasn't enough. Talked with my boss, he agreed to raise it and I agreed to stay. Two weeks after that (today) I talked with him and told I will be leaving.

Starting January, just arriving of three weeks on vacation in another country to see my girlfriend, I started looking for my first house, to live with my girlfriend. Because of this future life (she arrives March 13th), I started to look for a new job which pays more. By now, I have worked there for the past three years.

At the end of January I found a house and had some good proposals, so I talked with my boss that it was possible for me to leave in the near future because I really needed the money, despite really liking to work there, so he made me a proposal to give me the increase I wanted (250€) and I agreed.

Just after that, I started calling the companies to say that I would not be available anymore. I usually try to be the most honest as possible with these things.

Past a week, I was talking face to face to a recruiter to say the same thing, but this time he increased his past proposal and showed me the company he wanted to send me; it was one of the unicorns of Portugal and with a really really great technology stack, and after convincing me that I could be wrong about the decision I had made (well... I recognize I can be wrong sometimes), I agreed to go in a meeting with the company.

Past Thursday I went there - Well... I was wrong. I really loved the culture of the company (the thing I most like in the one I'm right now), I would be working with a great technology stack, and having a really good salary.

Today I talked with my boss and said I will be leaving in April 23rd. He told me that didn't think it was right the way I handled this, because, if he knew with some antecedece, he wouldn't have made a proposal for a new development that only I could do (I did the analysis for it), and would be searching for a replacement sooner.

Right now I'm 22 years old, junior developer, going to live with my girlfriend in the next month, and the only one in the company who knows PHP with its stack (Linux, MySQL, Apache).
Before all of that I had a net salary of +- 750€, and it was increased to 950€ after the proposals, and in this new position it will be 1150€.

I don't know how to feel. People usually said that I have to start thinking a little bit more about myself (my bosses included) and I tried this adviced... :(

So, I've been developing a little Chrome Extention for people who usually searches quite a lot on Wiki and Wiktionary.

I mainly developed it for my own laziness to open a new tab and search for a term.

What it does is, when you select a word and triggers the extension, it will show a little dialog with Wikipedia and Wiktionary definitions for the selection.

If anyone is curious or interested in the idea, would be helpful to receive some feedback.

(sorry for the logo on the image, it's the only one that I have here, at the moment.)

Question for the ones who use a smartwatch: do you think the price (e.g.: 250€) is worth it?

I really like the idea of the facility of not having to pick the phone for some things, but I don't know if it is really that useful. What do you think?

Pretty sure someone already posted it here, but I don't have the patience to check. Just want to share it.

Does anyone here uses Docker for all the environments (dev, qual, prod)?

If yes, how do you feel about it? How it is?

I'm currently reading the Docker docs. This thing seems to be beautiful.

Well... My fist table drop in prod... Cheers 🍻
Fuck.

Hey! It's been a while that I've been searching about projects documentation in order to develop a template for the company's projects.

My goal at the moment is technical documentation, like getting started (for new developers), the project's dependencies, conventions, etc.

Does anyone have suggestions of articles, books, or any resources about that topic?

Edit: I'm planning to build this template, discuss it with the seniors and then present it to the managers.

I was just reading this article about the difference between Computer Science and Software Engineering and thought it could be of someone else interest. So here it is:

So I was on a .NET project for a couple of months, then went to a Angular 6 project, now I'm starting on a PHP project.

I'm just loving these past few months.
