I have not a true story but rather looking for some help.

So i am a Software Engineer in a Junior position and well... imposter syndrome kicks in apparently.

The reasons why i say this are pretty straight forward:
1. I am pretty sure i know nothing, also my "creativity" in how to solve certain problems are just straight up complex.
2. I don't understand most of the stuff i do, using a framework from my company includes this.
(such as using multithreading, seriously i have no idea what threads are, how mutexes work, etc.)
3. I have come to this job / position by pure luck and lying.
4. Apparently my Boss just told me straight up that he likes my work. That's when i start to realize i might have an imposter syndrome...

So how do i deal with this shit? On a theoretical basis i might seem to understand stuff, yet i don't believe i have any knowledge about anything i do, couldn't even implement a Vector myself or something....

Recruiter.... when will the day come when you finally understand that you should read someones profile + listen to what they answer.

I have clearly in my profile written, that i don't want to work with Java. What do i get 70% of the time? Exactly: JAVA offers.

What do i else get for offerings? IT Consultant? QA Engineering? How many requests are something, that i'd actually want to do? Exactly. 1 in 100 offerings.

Recruiters, please step up your game, it's annoying and a waste of time for you and for us.

2 Days ago i started learning Rust, because i was planning to learn for years.

Well turns out, rust is even better than i thought! Rust's STL is basically a blessing, you have stuff like vectors, tcplisteners, etc. in there! So no more self-management of sockets which were necessary to write in c / c++ (without ext. libs)!

Fucking love that shit!! It's so great! :)

Exactly 1 week ago i had my final test as an apprentice...
i also got a job in the current company i work on... i thought something changes is responsibility... but actually as an apprentice i literally worked like a Jr. Dev.

Lol, didn't know actual Work as a professional was just as much as i had when i was an apprentice. (Also working on the same stuff. lul)

Feelsgoodman.

(Actually, i kind of got happier once i have completed it... but yeah depression don't just turn on and off xD)

Hey Devs !!

I was curious to know what your favourite keyboard for working is !!

I am using a custom mechanical keyboard.
(For those who are curious: Acryl Case, GK64 PCB, lubed (with Krytox GPL 205 grade 0) Gateron Inks with 55g TX Spring swap)

Also if anyone has some questions regarding mechanical keyboards.. just ask me! i am somewhat of a nerd in this regard !! :)

Hey guys, so i have been sitting this Weekend on a CTF and was wondering... Do you guys happened to do CTF's as well?

Why focus where definitely on Reversing and Misc Challenges.
I also helped with Binary Challenges since i believe i could definitely learn a lot by solving those. (I just don't know how to write actually exploits :( )

Interested in your guys stories!
I was pleased when i finished an esolang challenge! :D

Wanna see MadMan Code?

class DestroyMemory
{
public:
explicit DestroyMemory()
{
auto *destroy = new DestroyMemory();
for(auto i = 0u; i < sizeof(*destroy); ++i)
{ std::cout << "hihi\n"; }
}
};

If this will not work, tell me the reason why... :)
i am explicitly curious if anyone finds a reason that this should not do what it is supposed to do. :)

Hello World!

So i have a question for you... Do you have any experience with working in a foreign country?

If so, what were your expectations / experiences and where was that location?

I am super curious, since i am not really happy in the country i currently live in and want soon make an approach of going to the most tech-influenced countries in the world - Japan. (Will be still a while until i get there, but i want to gather as many informations about working abroad as possible)

I am of course open to any questions as well, since many people wonder, why tf japan?

FAQ therefore:
Q: Why Japan?
A: Japan has one of the most interesting cultures, as well as their technology became pretty popular and famous over the years, as well as i am an introvert and no one there would bother you with crap.
Q: You know about the working times, right?
A: Yes, completly! I love my job therefore i have (at least for now) no problems with working a good amount of hours / week.
Q: Are you a weeb?
A: No, i don't watch a lot of Anime, i do but just if i have nothing better to do and i find a show i really like.

Also: Please share your experiences, would help me a lot. If any question are left, don't hesitate ! :D

So how my Valentines Day went you ask?

Okay so it started to study more jQuery for my Graduation Project (I am an Apprentice for Software Development) since we're already using jQuery on the Frontend.

I literally spent 1/2 Day of debugging a bloody checkbox because its value didn't change and i never worked with JS / jQuery at all.

So basically what i did was this little if/else if/else thingy:

if($(this).is(':checkbox') && $(this).is(':checked'))
{ (...) }
else if($(this).is(':checkbox') && !$(this).is(':checked')) { (...) }
else { (...) }

I am so disgusted by this, but i don't think that there is any better way of doing it, since i dynamically get specific jQuery elements via selector.

Yeah, the rest of the day i actually implemented the feature regarding to that checkbox (which worked first try btw!)

And yeah, literally had no Date, Girl nor anyone waiting home for me and cuddles with me :(

There are so many JS Frameworks out there that i even completly lost track of what is "trend" and what is basically "old".

Well i guess a bunch of you relate to this, and just because i am not a JS Dev, doesn't mean that i am not open for new stuff :D

The only thing i am not open for is Java.
