The posts behind it
Senior Engineer with 12 years of experience, burnt out and piped for the first time in my career
...question is, if I take break from coding couple of months after I am let go, will it be difficult to find a new job for me? I just tried applying this week and got some interviews, so atleast I am decently confident I will get some response when I start looking again. But does...
Senior leaving misleading comments on my PRs as a Junior. What to do?
...and these weeks I have dealt with a senior who downright wrote things like "This query does not work" "not built correctly" on my code only for my queries to be perfectly fine.. I had to review that code with a lead from another team and he was able to tell right away that my...
AI, burnout, and tech - recent grad engineer experience
...and not just for executing code on a terminal.. And when I read books like DDIA, I struggle to apply it to my pet project here because it would mean redesigning a subsystem or a major component that touches 3 or 5 other subsystems that I vibe engineered. . I know the difference...
Burnout or reality check
...of my time. . All of the above plus a majority of the employees coming to me to vent frustrations with the organizational changes and it feels like I am going insane. I am in a unique position in terms of company ownership (I do not own the company but have some influence over...

Maybe it's my burnout speaking but one fact that frustrates me to no end is how our team essentially went through a 180 when it comes down to code comments (where a cynical me would say this is caused by AI that always loves to leave said comments) Sometimes it's hard to...
Boss is pushing for certs
...is there something I’m missing here? Like I feel like there is some weird motive here I can’t figure out, or it’s just poorly funded incentives that I’m supposed to be giddy over. Like I’m pretty sure the exams are almost as. Much as the pay increase? I haven’t done anything to...
So burned out
...be a waste of your time.. I'm so fucking burned out of IT. It only took 5 years. I hate that everyone's fucking problem is my problem. It's just problem after problem after problem. FUCK these problems. Why are we fucking doing this? Why are we looking at a screen every day and...
