Instead of working today, we are all going to get pizza. We do that about once a month, but it’s always fun to get paid to eat pizza instead of work.
No swimming today, to many time conflicts.
Got my teeth cleaned, only took 20 minutes. Fastest of my life. Scrape scrape scrape, polish, rinse… no problems, your teeth are good. Done
The scraper was super loud, I can still hear ringing in my ears.
Meeting friends from out of town, doing some fancy pants dinner. There goes my diet, lol
Had an okay day until after getting home I learned I was still in fight with my girlfriend from before going out to Trivia night together Wednesday evening over a Star Trek Voyager episode we watched together a long while back 😵💫 and then another one this evening over me using the word sure instead of yes or no 😵 to answer a question she asked
That’s a tough spot to be in! Hopefully your relationship gets less tetchy soon!
What is the problem with “sure”?
Today I had a talk with my boss. Apparently I’m not a good enough programmer to handle tasks alone and they don’t want to keep me around to learn the languages they want.
He said, maybe if we find a project for you that you could handle. Then we won’t fire you.
I’m just so done … I knew that i just started and it’s my first job and I don’t have much experience but I was hopeful that they wanted to teach me stuff. Now it doesn’t look like it anymore. I don’t know what to do. Who would take someone who got fired after not even a year?
A lot of companies aren’t prepared for junior or even mid level devs. I’m job hunting and the amount of senior and staff level positions out there compared to jr/mid is sobering. If you think it’s salvageable, make a learning plan and share it with your boss. But it might be best to start leetcoding now. Best of luck, friend.
I never got that bit tbh. Where do they think the seniors come from?
Wish I knew so I could find a job there.
Real answer: it’s cheaper to wait and hire senior levels (or outsource because you can’t find qualified candidates) than to hire someone who needs training then may leave after you’ve trained them.
Ouch. It can be tough as a junior developer.
My advice is to keep asking questions when you get stuck.
As a senior dev, I don’t go out of my way to teach people, but it’s extremely gratifying when people come to me for advice or mentoring.
How the fuck are you supposed to start a new job when you have little experience? Just do a YouTube tutorial? I really thought that I would get thaught in this company but apparently not…
It’s Friday but my check engine light is on, you tell me
