Did you come across this from the Netflix documentary, "the social dilemma"? I just watched it the other day and thought it was a pretty accurate statement.

@electrineer I did them dirty on purpose. Was the only dev. They had projects which entirely depended on me. Because of the way they treated me, I just told them yeah I'm done since this is you've treated me. They begged me to stay. Even told me to name a salary. I told them that they are 11 months too late. I got the recommendation letter and everything before I resigned. Idk I think a small part of them might still think I'd still work for them.
-
@electrineer It's not. But the company still went on with it. I'm thinking of suing the company. Not sure about it yet tho.
-
Congrats man. On the same boat right now and I gotta say it does feel good. Hope this is just the start for you.

@iamai I'm not sure I'll get a week off because at the moment my project is the only one generating revenue for the company. So they want me to continuously keep working. I'd get a day, two max that too not completely off. Just less work sort of a thing.
-
@irene Most definitely. Thanks for the advice. You guys were really helpful.
-
@zemaitis I will act accordingly. I am definitely not trolling you guys. This is my life right now. I am going to tell them I can't do this and if they are so desperate on getting it done, I will ask them to find another developer who will do it for them for 700USD.
I was just explaining how it was progressing. I will definitely do a reality check to see what stupid decisions I made lead me here. -
@heyheni That is helpful but the thing is they don't want to pay monthly. Basically all they want to spend on this project for the technical part is my salary which is less than $700 USD. So that won't work either. I think the safer one would be checking github so it doesn't cost them a penny more.

@arcsector I told them I can't deliver in the timeframe and now they're like get a template from somewhere, edit some stuff and let's publish it ASAP. Looks like really desperate for money.
Even if it's from a template no template will have all the features they have mentioned. I would still have to change a lot of things. And even if we buy a template they want a complete UI overhaul. I need someone senior to me but they said they can't afford it and have to make do with just me. -
@zemaitis That's the thing. There is no way they will outsource it. They won't hire anyone else. It's just going to have to be me all by myself. I could use the money but that money is not worth all the trouble I have to go for. I think I'll take your advice an get the fuck out.
-
@Benutzername Hahaha. I have no idea. They have no idea what they're doing. As long as money is generated they don't care about anything else.

@DubbaThony I feel you man. At the end of the day, I have to design it, develop it and deploy it as well. And getting paid peanuts for it.
