My boss is making me work on a "senior full-stack" contract he took (i am a junior frontend developer). Of course, they aren't supposed to know he isn't the one working, and I can't really talk in meetings, so I have to listen while texting him responses. What's more, he wants me to preempt what someone might say so I can give responses faster for his conversation to flow. Bruh.
I'm supposed to do this without exposing that I'm not a senior developer.
It's been 4 months, and I've been able to do the work so far, but I am severely burnt out.
I wake up every day hoping they at least find out he's not currently in the same continent as the company as he's required to be.
Never would have thought my 2nd year in tech would be like this.
Exp points, I guess.

imagine dying of a makeshift drone's strike, and, as you lay down in shock with your arms and legs blown off while rapidly losing blood, the drone's speaker says “Your killing was powered by DJI”.
turns out DJI handed drone purchasing discounts in exchange for “augmented” drone firmware that did this.1 -
Our HR person is "currently on leave", but it's not any kind of official time off according to our work calendar. I hope she's getting fired.19

900 idle tabs on phone. Sync to laptop browser. Enormous file trees and indexing. 47 GB RAM used. I'm really pushing it. lmfao7

There’s lay offs in my company.
So far:
- slackers and incompetents are staying
- Part of the leadership team is in holidays
- No one said the word lay offs but use the sentence “changes to come”
I am going back on monday and part of me hope I will be kicked out as I will have nothing to loose then, and a full month to say whatever I want.4 -
Can we stop conflating Desktop Linux and Linux (as in the kernel, servers, the project itself, etc)?
Desktop Linux is a pretty tiny niche in Linux, while Linux itself is pretty huge part of pretty much anything related to computers and on top of which a LOT of things are reliant on.
And yet so many times when I see or hear a complaint about Linux or some Linux distro, I look inside and it's specifically a Desktop Linux issue that has nothing to do with Linux itself.13 -
I started a new job a few weeks ago as a frontend developer. I have to create a new app to replace an old outdated process (no problem). The person who is doing the back-end development seems to be swamped in work & meetings. The new front-end is already blocked by the lack of progress of the back-end API development.
I'm a bit concerned about my tasks lol5 -
Can someone explain to me why a static page with 11 links should have:
- database with 3 tables,
- 47 libraries
- full blown next.js setup
- docker container
- infrastructure monitoring
- pin code based admin access to add additional links19
