I had some kind of breakdown last year, when they put me into another totally unorganized and unplanned project, with people who had no idea what they were doing, on top of the other 5 unfinished crappy projects I was working on at the time. My head just shut down and didn't want to code anymore under those circumstances. I just couldn't do this shit anymore. So I quit, took a few months off, and now I found another job in a company where we are only developers and the projects are awesome. All agile, for real this time, no marketing bullshit and no business bullshit and manager egos to handle. I'm having fun again. Sometimes you just need to get out of a toxic workplace and take a break.

I think it's important to learn how to test properly, so you can create easily testable code from the beginning, which makes your code much cleaner in general. Doing tdd on a project might help learning that quickly. But still I'm also lazy, so yeah I write tests afterwards, usually when I'm procrastinating writing "real" code and don't want to feel unproductive. I'd call it test oriented programming. For me that's a good compromise between my perfectionism and my lazyness.

Really helpful community for hackintoshing. -
Please share! I was watching a philosophic discussion about Nietzsche last night and seemingly he wrote Zarathustra down super quickly after such a moment of enlightenment, which has later become one of the most influential books of modern philosophy. These are great moments, I had a few of those too.

@TheCommoner282 even if this might work as a tool for finding the "right" people from an hr perspective, from my perspective it's a big no-no after talking to other devs about this. I canceled interviews in the past because: "on a professional level, everything fits and the team likes you, now we just need to do a psychological exam to evaluate whether you fit our company culture, because we only want people who are really positive." no thanks.. I'm depressed as fuck and try to make a living. I'm not trying to work for a cult I have to lie about myself to get in. So yeah in this case it worked for hr, I didn't fit their "culture", but I know that the team would really have liked working with me and I would have brought a lot of value to the company.

@AmyShackles sorry, didn't want to affront psychology degree holders. Most hr people I spoke to had a psychology degree. Probably because you can't do so much else here in germany with a bachelors degree in psychology. That's why I thought that was the normal career path, didn't even know there's an hr degree. Thanks for pointing out my bias. My point wasn't to degrade the degree, but the people who think psychology is as easy as that. I love psychology and think it's one of the most important thing to do in such crazy times, which is why get really annoyed when it's misused like that.

I hate this trend. How dare you making assumptions about my psychological profile after a 30 minute call or a yearly "personal development"-meeting. That in fact shows that you little hr people didn't learn anything in your stupid psychology bachelors degree. People are very different and that's actually a good thing you could profit from. So get me a real independent psychoanalyst to talk to or let my psychology be my own private thing. This half-ass unscientific hr-bullshit only feels like some orwellian privacy invasion.

Time to boycott AWS maybe? And prime video? And stop buying shit on Amazon? How much of his wealth is in Amazon shares? Or are those his savings?

@justamuslimguy some ideas I'm gonna try out: reach out to former collegues who started businesses, LinkedIn and co, reach out to companies you'd really like to work for, freelance-platforms, mouth-propaganda (i.e. friends in other fields of work.. I've had some requests from bands and music-labels for merch-shops through my musician-friends). One guy I know met his first big client through buying a laptop on craigslist and smalltalking while picking it up. Another one took a client from his last job, cause they were so happy with him that they wouldn't want someone else on the product. It's also probably good to have a network of other freelancers and designers. Maybe someone with some more experience as a freelancer can answer this better. I'd also like to hear some more ideas.

@F1973 now I don't trust you anymore. What does F stand for? Sure it's Floyd and not FBI? I'm not important, never have been. Personal cults just hurt the cause.

Thanks for the empathy with my butthole, comrades, but it will be comfortably seated on a financial pillow for the next months and the revolution is planned thoroughly. I'm more worrying about my managers ass when CEO's find out his whole development team burnout-quit.
I'm not new here, just deleted my account for privacy reasons a year back.
Also, Markdown! -
@molaram whom?
