-eth18448yKeep on going. Don't surrender to the defeat, accept it and learn from it. Commit yourself, specialize in something you love doing. Be master at that. And call yourself so.

ace4810068yLook at from another perspective:
Lesson learned... Don't let your ego control you.
If you're in doubt, ask for help. -
Bagul11588y@eth Thanks, bud. Appreciate the kind words.
@bas1948 Yeah, definitely not going to repeat the same mistake.
@mundo03 I was blinded by the money, to be honest. Lesson learned.
@J4s0n This was the biggest fuck up among all my other fuck ups. Still surprised I didn't get fired but not complaining. Life's good at the end of the day.
@GigaMick I didn't call the client; he made me install a monitoring software that periodically sent him screenshots of what I was doing and it completely escaped my mind it was still on while I was cursing at him. -
SSDD47608y@theOverseer from your post "and I pressured myself to the point where I called the client"

Bagul11588y@GigaMick Oh I meant I called him a 'motherfucking French fuck', not like called him on his phone.

When I cost the company half a million.
We recently got incubated and signed up for an accelerator programme, it was a life changing moment for me especially after having worked with my startup unpaid for almost a year. So naturally, it meant a lot to me.
But my friends / colleagues had to leave for a trip leaving me to work along side this other startup in the same batch. They needed a front end guy for their web stuff so we naturally offered our services except they needed me to work on Angular and I didn't know jack shit about it but pretended I did.
I couldn't reach out to my friends for help because I felt bad and wanted to prove my worth, and I pressured myself to the point where I called the client our batch mate brought on board making him leave.
I lost credibility as a professional, trust as a friend and my place at the office because it's gotten extremely awkward to go back there.
I fucked up my one way ticket out of my current certain household circumstances and realized I'm just a shitty developer who's all talk and no show.
