I have completely changed my life in order to get to live (legally) in a 1st world country and will put more than a year of preparation to hopefully pass the interview at Google, Meta or Microsoft. If I fail I guess I’ll probably go back to

As someone who writes software for a big grocery store chain in Germany I'm surprised the logistics work at all. It's a s*show inside once you know the details, but somehow, yes it kind of works well enough as for the customers to

LOL that hits home. This Saturday some random person talked to me in Discord. My immediate reaction was to type "Do I know you? Why are you writing to me?" But instead I just went with the flow of the conversation... It didn'

I live in Europe. Here there are not "plenty" very well paid senior roles, especially not for .NET Also take into account I'm looking for some serious amount of money in order to work there for 3-5 years and then retire. Or m

It's probably an order of magnitude harder, especially because after university you have many CS concepts fresh, and after 8 years you have totally forgotten about inverting a binary tree... But I think it's possible. Most FAANG n

I've been a .NET dev for almost 8 years now and I agree with the general positivity sentiment in the comments, but... As many senior devs I also want to retire early from tech. But unlike many, even if I spend hundreds of hours in leet

The good thing is... it's not that hard to get your level back. I went from A0 to B2 in German in about a year, 9 years ago. After that I lived for 1 year in Germany then left the country and didn't use nor practiced any German ag

Yes! I feel exactly the same. I don't think I'll be looking to work in a react codebase in the future again. I don't know what was wrong with class based components, especially the lifecycle methods, they were so easy to unde

I think all jobs suck in some way or another. The best approach in my opinion is to not worry too much about it, work just the required 8 daily hours and try to enjoy life outside of work. If you feel you are not getting good enough raises,

In my case it was the opposite. The code done by the devs in the US was awful, the code did not compile, they didn't use git, one guy had the "working" copy of the project in his laptop... We as the offshore team started to i

I happily pay for rider license every year. When you make so much money as a dev, investing in the tool you use every single day makes a lot of financial sense. Even if it makes you 1 or 2% more productive than VS it pays for itself (in my

I think you are right if your goal is to always climb to higher positions, especially to get to the very top of management. But some of us just want to be normal devs for most of our careers, so I don't care if I piss some % of my cowo

Yes but then in the new job you need to maintain other people's stuff, which is even harder that maintaining your own stuff. And over time you get to own that, including all the previous tech debt that you didn't create

The best/fastest performers usually get rewarded with... more work. Something I've seen more and more often is that a lot of developers take a lot of time for every ticket. Much more time than I'd take, but I suppose it'

Although I didn't meet my wife in the same office (as a developer 95% of my colleagues have always been male), if it wasn't for the office where I had to go every day, I wouldn't have met her. She worked in the same building

One of the best comments I've read in a long time. The importance of a steady paycheck is underrated, especially for peace of mind. I'm in a point of life that I actually long for easy and laid back CRUD-style jobs where one can d

You can live in a flat in the best parts of major cities comfortably, you could hire one or maybe even two FT employees to help you to cook, clean the house, take care of kids, etc. If you don't like the city life, you could also rent

I'm located in Colombia, and all my developers friends/acquaintances that speak English are already working for US companies. Some of them earning 100k+, but most of them earning about 50-70k. I'd say there is not a general u

It's worth noting that the game never really died. After the "golden age" of the early 2000's the player base organized and formed voobly, which had it's own competitive scene and even game patches for the original

Why do people always associate cqrs with microservices? I have a project where only 3 developers work; we re designed it to be cqrs. I was sceptical at first - I especially don't like some of the boilerplate it creates - but I'm n

> Of course, the framework is a hairy mess for other reasons (lazy loading, untranslateable methods, ugly generated queries) but the alternative to SQL it presents is lovely. What is wrong with lazy loading enabled by default?
