Wow, Rust is really growing on me.

Only thing I'm afraid of is erosion.

There's good money in doing web development and easy start threshold (what seems like a bubble that will burst sooner or later). What do I like about web development? Nothing. What do I hate about web development? Frontend. OK, I will work on the backend then. That's the process of elimination.

Received feedback on a task I made for a job interview (I didn't get a technical interview).

The task was easy with nothing special about it that made me think if that's what the job is like, I don't want to work there. It was a simple web page with search functionality. I did the task anyway.

The feedback I got was useless. It said that I made a complex and an over-engineered solution.
What I made, mind you, was a one endpoint API and a single Vue.js component instead of using jQuery to update the results. That's it. OVER-ENGINEERED!

Complete waste of time.

I live a double life as a programmer where I write Javascript during the day for work, and C during the night for fun (or to fight crime).

Trying to be a minimalist, I've always kept to learning a single programming language for each paradigm or type. Now my boredom (probably mild burnout) is making things get out of hand. I want to learn so many languages.

How many programming languages have you learned so far?

C is probably my favorite programming language. I use it for learning new concepts and implementing algorithms.

It's just sometimes I hate that I have to do everything myself when I need to focus on the solution/concept instead.

P.S., I hate C++ from all my heart. It's an abomination and a deformity of C.

Manager who doesn't code makes all the technical decisions and doesn't listen to us, lowly developers. He only listened to the developer who has been the longest time in the company and had terrible ideas as well.

It's almost 10 pm now. For some reason, I have a sudden strong urge to code something till morning. The problem is I don't know what to code.

I'm a depressed programmer.

Damn Ubuntu froze after opening an Excel file!

Got sent a coding challenge for a job. I feel tired and I don't wanna do it.

Currently watching Xiaomi Mi 11 launch event. Totally forgot how cringy these events are.

You join a new company and you're faced with loads and loads of abbreviations that only you don't understand. As if I'm not confused enough with with the new codebase and process and everything.

Watching video tutorials on high speed playback is very stressful.

Started a new job and seeing the commits and notifications on Github while not understanding what these people are doing yet, makes me both excited and frustrated at the same time.

I'm angry that all dynamic programming problems seem the same yet, I still struggle to solve them.

I want to find enjoyment in programming again and actually do something useful with it.

Unemployment month had to end in me getting sick. Probably Covid-19 xD.

The extreme, annoying verbosity of Go.

In my country, in almost any company, bank, even major telecommunication companies you'll find that their systems are down at least very frequently.
I'm currently standing in front of a Vodafone booth (they provide mobile communication and are an ISP), their system is down and the operator said to wait an hour.

What's more horrid about this is that these systems are built by fellow software engineers in my country. It sure says a lot about us, unfortunately.

I have had meetings that lasted 4 or 5 hours most of which I didn't listen to so they must have been useless.

Patience. It's the only virtue I think if anyone has it, they can make it in this field. And you can't fake patience, it comes from within.

You need patience because coding can be extremely frustrating. And without patience, you might not be able to sit in one place for 12 hours a day trying to find a solution for a single task.

Well, I'm a free man, I guess.

Reached an agreement to take the last 3 days of work off.

And now:

#2 days left.

Well, I have to post an update.

#3 days left.

It gets weird when your boss acts like a jealous girlfriend.

#4 days left.

Currently doing my final handover, the "senior" developer is trying hardly to find things for me to change not in the code, no, in the documentation. Bitch, this is the ~most~ only documented project in the whole company!

#5 days left.

Why AWS for sure. Well, I'm a young chap so...

Instead of accepting reality like a big man and acknowledging that making software with a cargo culted process that has no function in organizing the development work, the boss is insisting I'm to blame and wants me to "take responsibility". Taking responsibility my *****. I slay the dragon in its lair.

Since I'm leaving, I tried to give him some sincere advice, totally flipped him out.

#6 days left.

Is it normal when you give your leave notice, the boss (and colleagues) take it personally that much? It's unraveling more as I'm leaving that I'm working in a hell hole.
