I had this feel week ago but now I'm getting bullied by the seniors on code review section. Feels rough man
"your code is fine, but why does the last line say "let me know if you'd like to refactor"
That’s because the principals bully the seniors and the seniors bully the seniors and the principals also bully the principals
Basically everyone’s insecure about their own shit lol
Experiencing this right now.
seniors: "We have this cool name for a simple implementation of a standard process called GANODNOGEWNOENN"
me: "Hey that's kinda complicated. Why not just keep it simple? There's no need to invent new words for something as simple as that."
I bet everyone on this sub has(or should have) felt this way after every single person on the team bashes your PR and now you have your TL breathing on your neck instructing line by line what you were supposed to do
see it as kind of a birth by fire ritual, sometimes it's a terrible bootstrap process, some others you just didn't pay enough attention and others it's just not possible to learn all of the ins & outs of the workflows
don't worry, take notes, learn from your peers and ask a lot, you'll be fine
Give it some time and you'll be the one telling them to fuck off and they're wrong.
This was me after adding target = blank to an a href.
And when the bugs are raised, the mirror shatters and lessons starts.
2022 I started as a Jr. Dev
One thing I learned:
Responsibility comes from saying too late no.
So I have the habit to say no even before the question was asked.
Sometimes I shoot myself with this habit, but better than managing a project, underpaid, as a Jr. Dev.
Senior: think of an ETA and triple it
Staff: say you are fully booked until next year and then quadruple the ETA
Principal: providing an ETA requires 6 months research and we will need to hire 5 experienced engineers to execute on it
When the code review gets approved without being sent back
I had this feeling after switching job. I already have 11 YOE..
"Looks like prod has gone down"
"pleasedontbemyfaultpleasedontbemyfaultpleasedontbemyfaultpleasedontbemyfault"
It always goes down right after your code goes out.
Prod isn't rolling on the latest commit right? It's by release, right???
