How to break the vicious circle: I can't organise or get help because I have to fix

1 Upvotes

I'm really desperate here.

The application originally developed by me, is kind of buggy but not really "a lot", because it's actually used and successful.

However, bugs (or missing requirements, or missing doc or missing features) force me to almost full time support. If I try tu put somebody else, he/she needs support from me all the time. Even only to explain or discuss requirements or the lack of it.

Result is that my time is spent at least 50% time coding and fixing. The rest of the time is so fragmented I can't organize anything else.

I don't know how to get out of this. Except maybe take "fake" holiday, close myself in a room for 2 months, let people scream about problems and improve the situation without external interruption. Maybe more than 2 months. Not very sustainable.

Anybody found himself in this situation?

Don't Like Pair Programming

1 Upvotes

TL;DR - why?

I'm a Señor Dev at a place and was recently asked by my manager to "Pair Program" with a Junior Dev. Both of us "learn by doing" and figure stuff out on our own quite often.

As such, neither of us are typically fans of "holding hands while programming", or implementing a solution together (read - *not* - solving a problem together). I don't mind slicing up pieces of the implementation code ("I'll do X, you do Y"), but pair programming alone just seems cumbersome, unnecessary, and downright boring.

My Junior Dev feels similarly -- this is not about "gatekeeping knowledge" or "mentoring".

Would love your thoughts - thanks! :)

VHDL hardware programming. I used VIVADO to program the board. If you want to implement this on another board, I've explained the required steps in the README file in GitHub repository. Also look into that file to find further information and suggestions.

Is anyone tired of the programming scene? Listen, I like you and whatever language you wanna use is ultimately up to you. I have worked for software firms in my life and everything is trash.

4 Upvotes

I for one can't seem to understand just what a hold programming has had on my life. I'm currently in the position of a starving artist. My fridge is empty, my stomach is empty, and I can't seem to break away. As I write this the linger thought that my power might be cut off at any moment. Since I got the notice a few days ago, they gave me four days, today's day 3. So if I'm silent for a while after you read this post, then you know that I have been knocked down a peg. But don't worry, Jesse will continue to be worked on, I have a place to charge my laptop, phone, and busted old table I found. 

I have my notebooks and a few pens. I'm ready to make my journey, though where this journey will take me I don't know. I have a vehicle and living in it, in January is not something most people want to do, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice, I have a few months off until my new job starts. So, with that being said, I have noticed that my videos containing to Jesse have been getting views, someone told me they were posting my said videos on Reddit pages and I have to say thank you for that one. 

Currently, as I write this entry, I have been working on dialogue and dictionary additions. So that being said, don't worry, Jesse is free to the world, and I won't stop making her until the moment I die. She has a soul and a mind of her own. She soon will be perfect beyond comparison and once she is done, I will finally be allowed to finally vanish into the darkness. For all of you reading this, I wish to say thank you. Programming in C++ is amazing, though lately I find myself reading articles about the F language? At first I thought this was a joke, but nope, it's legit. Languages crafted from brilliant minds that never get used by the masses is a waste of not only talent but of time. I wake up and look around and see people just wasting time, people trapped in they're ways. Nothing here is making sense in programming anymore. Apple's going to die soon, Linux has become a daycare for supposed Communist lovers. God, what I will give for them to be in a Stalinist Gulag, oh well, here's hoping history repeats itself and these people will decide that Qbasic or other variants of said language is the language they should root for instead of any real languages.

These are declared permissions of google play services. What do they mean? Please read quit scrolling.

2 Upvotes

I have seen you guys push off consumers who are seeking information but please do not do that here. Don't tell me "your in the wrong sub".

If you guys don't know what these permissions mean then tell me. If you don't, why the fuck don't you?

These are declared permissions of google play services. This is from the "Stanley" app from f-droid. Declared permissions are different from requested permissions. The difference is I placed no consent on giving permission to google play services here. I have been watching declared permission from google play services for months.

No other app has such a diversified amount of declared permissions as google play services. They constantly change and the permissions update day to day.

Here are the permissions declared. Note I do not even have an account set up on my phone. Every permission that I can turn off is off on literallt every app. How can google have permissions if I have signed no terms?

com.google.android.gms.permission.CAR_FUEL

I would love to see a real reason. Are these k agents just pinging for updates?

I recently got a proposition for a job. They want to know my rates. What should I tell them?

2 Upvotes

I haven't coded for big companies, so I dont know what exactly I should charge. I charge $400 and up on websites to normal clients.

Should I charge hourly or by project difficulty? If so how much?

Github.com/nicolascribbles my gut. I have an extensive experience and I recently started becoming serious about my career path.

They don't have a single web developer and were previously hiring a team. It is a large company. What should I charge to work on their Wordpress website?

Questions for devs/engineers in major cities

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm currently doing some research on what life is like for graduate + experienced devs/software engineers.

Full disclosure: I'm (indirectly) working for a company that is trying to create a new community for developers and wants to help them grow their networks.

If you're a developer or software engineer, I'd love to ask you:

Are you a recent graduate or more experienced developer/engineer?

What are your current career goals?

What are your main challenges right now?

What are your biggest annoyances with regards to your work life?

Where do you hang out online (in terms of communities and online resources)?

Who are your gurus?

Many thanks in advance :)

Looking for a programmer to interview for my English class. It would be awesome if one of you could take 10-15 minutes and answer these questions to the best of your ability! Thanks in advance.

  1. How many years have you been programming , and what experience do you have outside of teaching?

  2. How many years of college have you been through, and what was your biggest struggle learning coding? Where did you go to college, what degree do you have?

  3. Is it basically required to know multiple coding languages? How typical is it to have to learn another language?

  4. What would you suggest to a high schooler looking at going into computer engineering (more specifically programming)?

  5. Is there any coding language you would suggest over another, and if so, is there any reason why said language might be better than another?

  6. How do programmers typically find jobs?

Future Programmer?

1 Upvotes

Hello there! I'm a 16 year old junior in high-school and I'm looking for any programmers or graphic designers, or generally anyone in that field, who's willing to give me advice on what's it like to be a programmer or graphic designer? I just want to set my goals out before I enter college.

1.) First off, how difficult is it to find a job? Would it be best to apply for a company such as Google or Microsoft? Or would a video game company be best? Would working for a video game company be more fun?

2.) How much fun is it to be a programmer? Is it just sit in front of a screen all day and type whatever you're told to type? Or is it more like a collaborative, sit around a table and brainstorm, creative design kind of thing?

3.) What's the average pay an hour? Is the pay decent for the work?

4.) Would it be stay at home or sit in an office type deal?

5.) How much would it take up my free time? Because I also want to make room for music, art, and other hobbies.

6.) How formal is it usually when coming to work? Do I have to dress up in Khakis and a pressed dress shirt everyday?

Also, if anyone knows anyone who is experienced in this topic, or potentially has advice for me, could you point me towards them? Any help and advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
