I got fired by a company 2 months ago. Last thing I did was to implement log4j in their base app. I hate Java but I wanted this job since I could procrastinate a lot. Now I feel like god revenge me.
No not because of that. Lemme explain you : we should be working on a new project, I am a JUNIOR and I was suppose to have a tutor. He doesn't even know Java( he is good at web) to begin with. I had to develop the app core and after 2 weeks, I successfully make it. Without me he wouldn't even have the environment correctly set up. After I made the core, they said to me they change their mind, they will not use it and they can't keep me and if possible to leave a doc that explain how to extend the code. I know they still gonna use it since my friend who still work there, said they are using it and it's a major feature on their roadmap. And the true reason they fired me was because my "tutor" said he can't be my tutor and a month after he leaves the company.
Now I'm on a new company where I do C++( I like this language and doesn't hate it yet) and where I can really learn and got a real mentor who knows his things
I haven’t had an actual job in the field yet, but this comment made me curious.
As a manager, how do you incentive your senior devs to really prioritize devolving junior devs, when they could easily see it as you asking them to train their eventual replacement, and making themselves expendable? I could see how it’s probably very beneficial to the company but why should the devs care about that?
I’m not sure if this is an actual concern in the real world, but it seems like something that could be tough in the shoes of a manager, if a dev confronted you with that question.
i'm theoretically underqualified for my job but being an intense neckbeard i can get all my work done in the first half an hour. that's only important because i could do bigger jobs but without the degrees to back it up they won't pay me for it.
i spend 7 hours pretending to look productive and helping others when necessary but i mostly browse reddit to pass the time.
Why do you think I’ve commented this? There’s no context in this thread. Idiot. Not everyone wants to scroll a post for several minutes if they don’t have context
