Great thread, feels like a time capsule for some of the people that are starting new things in life, moving to a new city, getting a start-up off the ground, trying to get used to their new lifestyle. I hope I can come back to this thread some time in the future and reminisce as I'm sure many of you will.
To answer the question, I'm working full-time at a job that I feel completely hopeless at. Basically fresh out of college and I'm working at a place where I can't communicate with like 95% of the development team due to language differences, so I'm stuck working on an undocumented codebase with no guidance/on-boarding/help whatsoever. Lots of trial and error to figure out how stuff works, and a fair bit of going around the current code and working directly with libraries because I don't have the time/energy to try to understand the layer the people before me built on top of that library.
- kartoshechka 5y agohey, just letting you know you're not alone. Difference is I can't communicate with previous devs who left dogshit quality codebase without any sort of documentation. But more I'm accustomed with it, the more our (new) team realize that behind all these pointless abstractions and "services" is just the dumbest map (data structure) transformer ever
