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
And when the bugs are raised, the mirror shatters and lessons starts.
"Looks like prod has gone down"

It always goes down right after your code goes out.
When the code review gets approved without being sent back
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"
Debugging with pure emotional damage.
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."

Give it some time and you'll be the one telling them to fuck off and they're wrong.
