Parkinson is also not a black and white thing. I have bodily tremors due to my depression, can I self diagnose parkinsons and start giving advice? Would you approve?

Problem is the author, as most people that say they are depressed self-diagnose. And gives advice. How would people react if author self-diagnosed cancer and gave advice on how to cure it? Depression is disabling illness, why such lightly t

First thing first: did the author had clinically diagnosed depression? Or was a self-assessment? What would people think if bloggers start giving advice on how to sort out cancer because they felt some lump in their leg, self-diagnose and d

The author was doing 45 minute HIIT routines while being depressed. Go figure. I find this kind of articles infuriating. All this narcissistic talk about how they handled it and whatever, signaling how they are above all that (the disclaime

Smalltalk failed because at your typical enterprise there rarely is any incentive to do better than doing pseudo procedural code in java/c#/python/whatever which in smalltalk is possible but hard. The next step for enterprise

We are treated like low tier because in most software companies we are low tier. In command and control structures value is given by position not by contribution. We might be expensive but still low tier. The rockstar programmer, etc. are j

Programming is not so much a career but a sequence of interrelated jobs leading somewhere. So, go after the things that interest you, learn them well, and try to manage your way into the related market with whatever you have at your disposa

Here in South America companies don´t wan´t devs with more than 5/6 years of experience. If you manage to find work with 10+ years of experience or after age 35 is because the demand for devs have grow to a point where they cannot fil

Maybe the poster is in another country. I live in a third world contry where most work is grunt off-shored work. Most positions here are for devs with 1-3 years of experience, and there are loads of them. If you are more experienced and wan

In my case I found that for most web dev jobs I needed to learn the libraries thoroughly or live in constant stress because I was always getting behind my expected velocity. I find most frontend libs code too convoluted to be able to unders

The theories are endless but the root cause remains the same. Management sees Devs/QAs as low grade disposable workers. The fact that anyone with a 2-day certificate and some contacts ends up managing dev teams is not because they dupe

Why do you think they have a pessimistic attitude? I´ll use myself as an example. I started coding professionally at 23 (I´m 43). For years I pushed myself to be the best coder I could. At 35 I got laid-off. After that I just got sucky jobs

what do you mean by consulting? going through agencies? freelancing?

by Tarucho 5y ago
Ok, but dev managers are also managing people digging trenches, not people in life and death situations, and they don´t face the same problems devs face. And they tend to be more "self important" than devs.
