Date: February 2nd, 2018 2:38 AM Author: excitant hell I have been making way fewer typos, typing with higher wpm, making better architectural decisions, and just generally getting my wagecuck tasks done much faster. Feels good. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3879584&forum_id=2#35302555) |
Date: February 2nd, 2018 2:44 AM Author: Rose indian lodge 180. What explains your improvement?
I feel like I'm getting better too, and it feels pretty good. Caring a lot more about code quality, participating actively in code review, trying to use design patterns, making sure I write good tests. Yo |

Date: February 2nd, 2018 3:04 AM Author: excitant hell It is hard to say. Some aspects of my current situation have greatly increased the pressure on me so maybe it's that. Or maybe mastery comes in a lumpy pattern rather than linearly. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3879584&forum_id=2#35302635) |

Where's the extra pressure coming from? Pressure from management to deliver new features? |

Date: February 2nd, 2018 3:20 AM Author: excitant hell I have a decent equity stake in the company and some of the things I'm doing right now really could be make or break. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3879584&forum_id=2#35302657) |
|
Date: February 2nd, 2018 3:33 AM Author: Rose indian lodge 180. I wish I had equity but I'm pure wagecuck.
Due to some circumstances at our company I'm getting responsibilities that would typically require more experience. Trying not to fuck it up. Want to learn and further perfect the craft, but also want to take advantage of this shortcut and have a good story to tell in a year or two when it's time to move on. |

Date: February 23rd, 2018 8:48 AM Author: swollen brunch It is only "satisfying" if you enjoy coding. If you ended up as a lawyer and are 29 and want to "just do coding" you do not enjoy coding (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3879584&forum_id=2#35468197) |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2018 10:59 AM Author: lemon comical chapel azn I appreciate this. I didn't become a lawyer because anyone forced me. Although I tended towards the profession because it played to my strengths, I didn't just fall into it either...it wasn't easy to get here. So I need to be honest with myself that, at 29, there's probably a good reason I haven't already put in the substantial effort to learn how to code.

Date: February 23rd, 2018 9:12 AM Author: Exhilarant Impressive Skinny Woman Theatre Not at all. You have to interview for your job every day (it's called "daily Scrum") and you take orders from a "tech lead" who barely speaks English and a slimy PM who isn't your manager but often outranks your real manager. No one invests in your career and you'll be ageism-pwnt before 35. Oh, and open-plan offices will wreck your health. You'll get two flus every winter and you may end up with panic attacks, which don't go away. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3879584&forum_id=2#35468274) |
