I've already been in the role of "teacher/speaker", I just can't fucking do it. It completely drain me, it was painful for my mental health and it doesn't get better over time.

"Just keep doing it... it will be easier".

No fuck, it isn't

I taught some dev stuff about a class of 25 people, i got "STELLAR rating 5.0/5.0" not even a single motherfucker put less than 5 stars while rating my speech.

My company hyped the shit out of it, like i'm some kind of guru.

I know, i'm aware i'm a decent speaker... but fuck i hate it.

The paradox of being good at something and hate it wholeheartly.

@darksideofyay we had a custom solution working perfectly for our needs, we designed it and was so fucking optimised, insanely fast. We throw it away because the customer wanted to use an existing solution that performs shit compared to what we had and now we basically worsened the entire application system. We are using this solution in a way it's not meant to be..

I guess we have a similar situation going on.

I am in the exact same situation right now but the project itself is fine, the real issue is the application architecture, it was designed by a drunk monkey.

@RantACar ok let's suppose I'm not going to give a fuck... Some weeks later stuff working really bad enter production, problems happens, I get called by an annoyed/angry customer and quick-to-rush a solution team leader, exactly how I'm gonna deal with this. Isn't better to prevent reaching this point in the first place? I'd like to know your opinion on the matter.

I understand there may be seniors who never used Kafka... But when I don't know shit about the stack I'm working with I usually pick up a fucking manual to not reinvent the wheel.... Fack

Do you remember when it was Blockchain and NFT? I remember.

I see the greedy capitalists corporations gonna try to replace us. I'm 100% sure because my CEO just released a statement about that "We want to reduce our workforce by 10/20% in the next years with AI".

I think most programmers are just in denials "It's not gonna happen... ahaha client so dumb ..think about AI dealing with him ahaha..."

Fuck it...

@ScriptCoded "my project leadership" I meant the people above me, up the ladder

@ScriptCoded I'm a simple developer

I want to give it a shoot one of these days, seems mmm... Interesting.

I left uni after some years, prestigious uni, top marks, scholarships, no regrets. I was
depressed. I kind of deal with social stigma due to being a dropout but I'm happy at least.

@atheist Watching at the numbers I understand some folks probably don't have time for that and I absolutely respect it.

Still astonish me the current engagement is set at the 1% and I find it hard to believe nobody else got time for a single pull request maybe every two months or more.

Just to make it clear. I don't contribute during my working hours. I do it in my free time.

You can correct me if I am wrong but I have never appreciated Tailwind
It's a stupid idea for me, sounds like inline- css with extra steps. It "scales" because you reduced every property to class names atoms and imo it fucking suxks.

@NamanB Glad to help, you will have fun if you embrace the way of the open source. I learnt the trickiest and advaced stuff while contributing. It's such a nice experience.

@NamanB

1. Pick a project open to contributions
2. Find an issue you want work on
3. Apply for fixing it, wait for feedback
4. Open a pull request
5. After merged, thanks the team for wasting their time checking your pr, I do it always

And that's how I started contributing, one day, randomly, because I was bored as fuck.

@12bitfloat "The second coming of Christ"
I laughed out loud but yes I agree, especially when some of them come up with "You should rewrite X in Rust" where X is a perfectly functioning software.

Actually, you are watching an accelerate class about "How to handle stressful situations: Good and Bad behaviours"

So you are learning, a lot.

@NoToJavaScript I did something like this some days ago. I'm ashamed too.

I wonder what Muse Group thought the moment they bought one of the most popular open-source software in the world...

"Yes, we're going to do as much fucking as we like."

What's going on now:
1. The volunteer community is angry
2. Debian & others will likely drop the package due to the new privacy policies
3. A new fork will be born on the ashes of the latest pre-telemetry version.
4. They will fragment the community
5. I hope a class action starts due to the violation of the GPLv3 terms

EDIT: Just waiting to jump on the wagon of the new "official" community fork, I'll keep contributing here.

Get out from devRant.

This is not what it is supposed to be about.

@molaram You are greatly missing the point.

It's not about the degree, it's about the labour market.

@molaram At the same time, the average wage has fallen as a result of this pool of workers.

Universities, on the other hand, are not able to keep up. I've been programming computers since I was 14. I found vulnerabilities inside Windows, still enjoy breaking things and fixing them. I contribute to open source.

But that's NOT enough to afford a decent salary.

Graduation is quite useless in such a market. "Yes, congratulations, you can calculate the computational complexity of a certain algorithm... but now go back to writing shit code, we're late on the road map."

Also, how many companies ask you to develop super-efficient algorithms?

The point is that many companies do not even understand these technical aspects.

What are you surprised about?

We live in a depressing reality.

The moment IT stopped being a closed industry, all this mess started.

@molaram It's a bit more complicated than this.

IT workers are the new low-cost skilled workers in the business industry.

Today all companies need websites, applications and more to be competitive in the market. This makes demand high but at the same time the narrative that "anyone can program software" driven by large companies has made the industrial workers' pool full of low-quality people with surface expertise.

Just think of YouTube, full of Indians with their 5-minute tutorials for each tech stack.

Now, without going into detail unnecessarily, large companies have lowered entry barriers so that anyone can jump on the software development wagon.

What do you expect from companies?

They are known to be looking for people who are able to do the job without worrying too much about quality.

The same applies to consulting firms. They don't give a shit about quality, just the result.

Is the customer happy?
Good
Is it best practice?
No
Is the customer happy?
Good

Litterally the reason I am dropping uni

If they want to hire me they will look at my working experience. If they need the degree to hire me, I'm not interested into join them in the first place.

@NeatNerdPrime I'll look at them carefully, thank a lot

@Floydimus Yoooooo such a nice reddit, awesome, subscribed. Thank you so much.

@react-guy What alternatives there are?
