Yeah, it's can be summarised as a stressful life ๐ , something that everyone wouldn't able to overcome, I know a lot people who have run away ๐. I'm going to be honest, if you want to become a software engineer you must be focus on your aim, forgetting anything else.
Only, if you want to be a greatest developer. If not please continue with your distractions like I wouldn't have anything.
I'm sure you know what is exactly an error, this that gives you serious headaches as the days passed, it which doesn't allow you to sleep, these too large log errors that never end, mainly an IDE completely filled with red alerts saying that your shit code doesn't/will never compile. Sincerely, I love ๐ this situation, I learn a lot from this error trying to figure out what is happening there, trying to understand why my shit code is not working, getting my lead petty pissed off ๐. YES, DEAR FRIEND, it means what software engineer life looks like.
You must understand that it will be part of you life as a software engineer, you will have tons of serious headaches and there isn't any pill that remove this feeling, ๐ you should keep relaxed and focusing in your work without distractions while your boss is asking about the errors and you don't know what you should him ๐,
- I'm working on the error (this is a really shit lie) ๐ฉ
- I don't know why my code doesn't work (it's also a lie) ๐ป
- I'm up to the balls, I hate this fuck error and I don't know how can I fix it and continue with my normal error ๐, yeah, it's exactly what is happening, but I know you don't have enough balls to tell him the TRUTH, you think you will get disqualify, but NO, you have a serious problem, you are wrong ๐ค, you need help, you need some advices from someone who knows more about you, please be honest ๐, you don't know everything, you are only one more developer, who knows only _what is needed _, but it's real you have a serious problem.
๐คง, You need to learn how to work in team, but I'm sure you are thinking: "I know how to work in team", but NO, you are really wrong, working in team means is exactly asking to your teammates whatever you need/you don't know. Working in team is synonymous that problems are for all of us, if you have a serious problem your team too. Remember ๐ตโ๐ซ, you are getting paid to bring a solution to a customer, you must deliver a product, your code doesn't care, you are not getting paid to write code,
YOU ARE GETTING PAID TO CREATE CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS ๐ค
let haters = ""
for (let time=0; time<=lengthPost; time++) {
haters+=1;
}
Yeah, this is the fuck *real fact * ๐ฎโ๐จ. One day, a developer with really more more more more more more ...... (ten mores later ๐ค) said me that I need to focus on customer solutions not in coding ๐, first I really got confused for a while but I understood what it exactly means ๐ค.
Really, I'm here to teach you how to be a great developer, STOP learning how to code ๐ค, first focus on understand what you are doing, ๐จ focus on learn estimations, to learn how many time takes you making a real project, try to be honest, you are not Albert Einstein ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ, you are a normal person who need to think about what will be implemented and who need some time to fix some code mistakes and resolve some conflicts (if you works with GIT). You must figure out what is live as a software engineer.
Please, STOP ๐ thinking in money and focus on be the best version of you then I promise you that you will earn a lot of money working as a developer ๐.
I hope you have just come to the earth (if you are not here before ๐ค), I really want to make clear with you, telling you what are the advantages and disadvantage of working in this profession. In the following post I will start sharing with you personal experiences that allow you to understand more about a real software engineer life, if you like this post please share with your friends, I know that truth is really resilient ๐, but why should I lie you?
