Week 45 Group Rant

My first job was 3 years ago.
I was tasked to create feature updates for a referral system.
There were two programmers in that project , both had left the company before I started.
There left no documentation whatsoever. They gave me a copy of user manual as my guide. HAHA!
Half of the code was in code igniter framework(wasn't even familiar with it then), the other half was hard coded.
It was a total nightmare. Wish I had the guts to call it quits then and there. XD

    Interesting, seems like every one who does it first time have faced this problem.
    when I was new I was given code of seniors to fix some of their bugs and I use to creat new before solving theirs :D

    @rehman create new bugs? :D haha
    maybe it is just the culture? but it's really disheartening, after my first job, I left programming because I was so stressed out haha

    @yzhea haha maybe, but I don't know how but I just survived from being disheartened. There was time when I have grinded work 8:00 am to 8:00 am and I literally couldn't stand on my feets.

    @yzhea lol, my colleagues use to say that please do this shit at your home and not in office.
    Because they don't want to get into late sitting or stuff.

    @yzhea well when I learned html/css I straight wanted to build Facebook. I didn't knew a thing that what the heck is backend programming. Someone told me that there are two of them mostly popular .net and php. I asked him to do work with me he said I would go with asp but I thought php is better just because I have heard more about it.
    Then he said why not join both language in our website. And I like stupidity searches whole internet for a week that how can we do that.
