When pandemic hit in 2020 I found myself out of work. Until then I used to have a java based pirate gameserver of a MMORPG as a hobby.

When pandemic hit I noticed that online players count increased from like 70 to 200 without much advertising because purely of people being stuck in home. So i decided to scale and spent 2 years with that. What a wild ride it was.

So i invested a bit in ads, managed to reach around 500 online players, opened my own company and launched a couple other successful spinoffs of that gameserver.

First year it was a goldmine but I was doing 10-14 hour days because I had to take care of everything (web, advertising, payment integrations, player support and also developing the server itself, ddos protections and etc.). I made quite a bit of money, saved for a downpayment for mortgage and got an apartment.

Second year I noticed that there was a lot of competition and online players count dropped, but I double downed on this and invested a lot into the product itself and spent most of the time developing a perfect gameserver that would be the big bang while also maintaining existing ones. Clasic overengineering mistake. As you can guess, I crashed and burned on all levels, never even managed to launch my final project because simply the scope was too big and I had trouble finding decent devs to outsource it to, since it was a very niche gameserver.

In the end I learned a lot especially about my own limits and ownership, now Im back to being a dev but working as a contractor.

I believe having actual business owner experience allows me to have different perspective and I can bring more to the table rather than focusing on crunching tasks.

OK.
1. So i tindered.
2. I got a really nice girl.
3. We chatted really long and good.

56. I think I should feel stupid, For gods sake its tinder. People dont
give a crap, Enough people around why should I Invest so much into this?
But I dont feel stupid. Because this is how I want it. I dont want

I already have some with her.
60. I feel lost right now. But my head says I put too much stress on
her, And i fucked up with the planning. I should have been more precise.
My head also says that i am putting myself into the victim role, which
is wrong always. Should I continue to reach out to her? Is there
something I could do still?

I have been keeping this inside for long time and I need to rant it somewhere and hear your opinion.

So I'm working as a Team Lead Developer at a small company remotely based in Netherlands, I've been working there for about 8 years now and I am the only developer left, so the company basically consists of me and the owner of the company which is also the project manager.

As my role title says I am responsible for many things, I maintain multiple environments:
- Maintain Web Version of the App
- Maintain A Cordova app for Android, iOS and Windows
- Working with pure JavaScript (ES5..) and CSS
- Development and maintenance of Cordova Plugins for the project in Java/Swift
- Trying to keep things stable while trying very hard to transit ancient code to new standards
- Testing, Testing, Testing
- Keeping App Stable without a single Testing Unit (sadly yes..)
- Just pure JavaScript no framework apart from JQuery and Bootstrap for which I strongly insist to be removed and its being slowly done.

On the backend side I maintain:
- A Symfony project
- MySQL
- RabbitMQ
- AWS
- FCM
- Stripe/In-App Purchases
- Other things I can't disclose

I can't disclose the nature of the app but the app is quite rich in features and complex its limited to certain regions only but so far we have around 100K monthly users on all platforms, it involves too much work especially because I am the only developer there so when I am implementing some feature on one side I also have to think about the other side so I need to constantly switch between different languages and environments when working, not to mention I have to maintain a very old code and the Project Owner doesn't want to transit to some more modern technologies as that would be expensive.

The last raise I had was 3 years ago, and so far he hasn't invested in anything to improve my development process, as an example we have an iOS version of the app in Cordova which of course involves building , testing, working on both frontend and native side and etc., and I am working in a somewhat slow virtual machine of Monterey with just 16 GB of RAM which consumed days of my free time just to get it working and when I'm running it I need to close other apps, keep in mind I am working there for about 8 years.

The last time I needed to reconfigure my work computer and setup the virtual machine it costed me 4 days of small unpaid holiday I had taken for Christmas, just because he doesn't have the enough money to provide me with a decent MacBook laptop. I do get that its not a large company, but still I am the only developer there its not like he needs to keep paying 10 Developers.

Also:
- I don't get paid vacation
- I don't have paid holiday
- I don't have paid sick days
- My Monthly salary is 2000 euro GROSS (before taxes) which hourly translates to 12 Euro per hour
- I have to pay taxes by myself
- Working remotely has its own expenses: food, heating, electricity, internet and etc.
- There are few other technical stuff I am responsible of which I can't disclose in this post.

I don't know if I'm overacting and asking a lot, but summarizing everything the only expense he has regarding me is the 2000 euro he sends me on which of course he doesn't need to pay taxes as I'm doing that in my country.

Apart from that just in case I spend my free time in keeping myself updated with other tech which I would say I fairly experienced with like: Flutter/Dart, ES6, NodeJS, Express, GraphQL, MongoDB, WebSockets, ReactJS, React Native just to name few, some I know better than the other and still I feel like I don't get what I deserve.

What do you think, do I ask a lot or should I start searching for other job?

well fuck me, just spent the whole weekend (about 33 hrs) not being able to solve a task from uni with a java program we had to write🙄😪

the problem was a given set of movies with a weekday, the begin time, the duration, the title, and a "score"
the movies take place in one week (random days, random amount of movies) and every movie can be shown multiple times
our task was to find a sequence of non-overlapping (all unique) movies with a score of at least a given number
all in text form

i tried dynamic programming but the more i tried, the more it got complicated, so i ended up using "earliest finishing time first"
my code is just 3 points under the goal and i don't know what to change anymore😒, also some friends did the exact same and succeeded somehow
copying (and obfuscating) won't work, as the codes will be compared by a very good "copy checker"
let's hope i'll still have a chance for an exam😐

So about two months ago in my consulting firm I was asked to replace a colleague on a project (node and Angular). The project is only a few months old but it’s already a total clusterfuck. DB is very poorly designed. It’s supposed to be a relational database but there’s not a trace of a foreign key or any key for that matter and I’ve seen joins like tableA.name = tableB.description (seriously, that’s your relation??). The code is a mess with entire blocks of code copied from another project and many parts of the code aren’t even used. He didn’t even bother renaming variables so they would make sense in the context they were shamelessly thrown into. The code is at best poorly typed if not typed at all.

During our dailies I sometimes express my frustration with my other colleagues as I very politely allude to my predecessor’s code as being hard to work with. (They are all “good friends" with him). I always get the same response from my colleagues: "yeah but you’ve gotta understand Billybob was under a lot of pressure. The user stories were not well defined. He didn’t have time to do a proper job". That type of response just makes me boil inside.

Because you think I have time to deal with this shit? You don’t think I’m working with the same client and his user stories that are barely intelligible? How long does it take to write type definitions for parameters going into a function? That’s right, 30 seconds at most? Maybe a minute if it’s a more elaborate object? How much time do you think you’ll save yourself with a properly typed function or better yet an interface? Hard to tell but certainly A LOT MORE than those 30 seconds you lost (no, the 30 seconds you INVESTED) in writing that interface!!!

FUCK people with their excuses! Never tell me you don’t have time to do a proper job! You’ve wasted HOURS of my time just because you were too fucking lazy to type your functions, too lazy to put just a little more thought into designing your tables, too lazy to rename a variable so that it’s name actually makes sense where it’s being used. It’s not because you were short on time. You’re just lazy!
FUCK!!!!!!

When freelancing, do you charge for estimations?

Situation is that I'm a sole android developer (4 years experience) and each time I encounter some agency or a client I feel like I'm between a rock and hard place.

Some of the clients come with ready with list of requirements and ready backend/design sketch and they want me to give them a rough estimate.

It's as if they expect me to take only 2-3 hours for estimation and that's it. But actually this was the second time where I had to spend around 10 hours investigating everything so I would be able to give a half decent estimation at least.

This particular client's project turned out to be a mess and I had to spend 10+ hours to estimate only 70% of his project. I asked him if he would be able to pay under a reduced tarrif and the client was shocked, started doubting my competence level and so on.

In the end I gave him a rough 400 hours estimate and he started complaining that others estimated only 200 hours for his project. So in the end I just wasted my time.

Now it's my bad that I voluntarely invested too much time in this estimate without notifying client prior that I might ask to pay for estimation, next time I will try to do this ahead of time.

It feels like only big agencies who have free resources have a competetive edge against sole freelancers, it really sucks wasting so much time to estimate half baked requirements and assets. Also most of these clients and agencies are purely lazy and most of the time they don't even plan signing, all they need is someone to estimate their work for them.

I'm thinking of starting to charge for estimations and communications in a form of consultations. Is that a good idea?

I'm just fed up with the industry. There are so much stupidity and so much arrogance.
My professional experience comes mainly from the frontend and I feel like it's not as bad on the backend but I'm still convinced it's not really different:

I'm now about to start my 3rd job. It's always the same. The frontend codebase is complete shit. It's not because some juniors messed up not at all. It's always some highly paid self-proclaimed full-stack developer that didn't really care somehow hacked together most of the codebase.
That person got a rediculous salary considering the actual skill and effort that went into the code, at some point things became difficult, issues started to occur and that person left. If I search for that person I find next to the worst code via gitlens on Linkedin it's somebody that has changed companies at least two times after leaving and works now for a lot of money as tech-lead at some company.

There's never any tests. At the same time the company takes pride in having decent test coverage on the backend. In the end this only results in pushing a lot of business logic to the frontend because it would just take way to long to implement it on the backend.

Most of the time I'm getting told on my first day that the code quality is really high or some bullshit.

It's always a redux app written by people, that just connect everything to the store and never tried to reflect about their use of redux.
Usually it's people, that never even considered or tried not using redux, even if it's just to learn and experiment.

At the same time you could have the most awesome projects on github but people look at your CV, sum up the years and if you invested a lot of time, worked way harder to be better than other developers with the same amount of experience, it's totally irrelevant.
At the same time all companies are just the worst crybabies about not being able to find enough developers.

HR and recruiters are generally happy to invite somebody for an interview, even if that person does not have any code available to the public, as long as that person somehow was in some way employed in the industry for a couple of years. At the same time they wouldn't even notice if you're core contributor for some major open-source product if you do not have the necessary number of years in the industry.

I'm just fed up.
By the way, I got my first real job about two years ago. Now I'm about to start my third position because my last job died because of the corona crisis. I didn't complain for some time because I didn't want to look like I'm just complaining about my own situation. With every new job I made more money, now I'm starting for the first time at a position that is labeled "lead" in the contract.
So I did okay. But I know that lots of talented people that worked hard gave up at some point and even those that made it had to deal with way too much rejection.
At the same time there are so many "senior" people in the industry, that don't care, don't even try to get better, that get a lot of money for nothing.

It's ridiculously hard to get a food in the door if you don't have any experience.
But that's not because juniors are actually useless. It's because the code written by many seniors is so low quality, that you need multiple years of experience just to deal with all the traps.
Furthermore those seniors are so busy trying to put out the fires they are responsible for to actually put time into mentoring juniors.

It's just so fucked up.

Wait. Why does this work? It doesn't copy any of the frontend code into the deploy location.

I'm not sure how this works, but it does. Crap, there goes my morning tracking down this wretched spaghetti deploy code.

At least I understand how it works in production. Shit, why is it different between production and our integ servers ,that isn't good. Maybe I can just refactor it.

That was all on Monday. It's now Wednesday and I'm still fucking refactoring something that wasn't actually broken. It just didn't make sense.

Maybe I should just revert my last three days of work on this branch and move on. No! It's too late, I've invested way too much time into this project...

... and I'm almost done, just a few more commits right?

!dev
!!Lyrics

Really a random post but related to my personal dev-life so maybe it’s at least arguable if it belongs here.

This is one of my all time favorite songs, I can identify myself with it (although I’m reinterpreting some parts).
Back in Highschool I had girlfriends, I had time, I had my entourage, everything except money. All my dad wanted me to become was a rich fucking millionaire. Failure was never accepted, no matter what it was about and everything could always have been done better.
It was pretty much a military childhood. I already loved programming back then but only as a hobby, kinda.
I really wanted to make good money so I started a dev career (with makes gooooood money where I came from). The more I invested in my career, and that was a lot, I more and more lost the understanding of what’s really important, just pursued my goal of being the best fucking dev out there and start my own company in the next 10 years.

Well.. 10 years are over now, I’m still an engineer and I lost everything I had before I started this. Especially friends and relations to women (which I’m not even able to connect to anymore).

In this lyric, the blackbird and raven are the career that just ate me alive. Hope that makes any sense to some of you?..

Anyway, here the lyrics if you wanna read it:
—————————————-
Sons of Anarchy
Come join the murder - white buffalo

There's a blackbird perched outside my window
I hear him calling
I hear him sing
He burns me with his eyes of gold to embers
He sees all my sins
He reads my soul
One day that bird, he spoke to me
Like Martin Luther
Like Pericles

Come join the murder
Come fly with black
We'll give you freedom
From the human trap
Come join the murder
Soar on my wings
You'll touch the hand of God
And he'll make you king
And he'll make you king

On a blanket made of woven shadows
Flew up to heaven
On a raven's glide
His angels they turn my wings to wax now
I fell like judas, grace denied
On that day that he lied to me
Like Martin Luther
Like Pericles

Come join the murder
Come fly with black
We'll give you freedom
From the human trap
Come join the murder
Soar on my wings
You'll touch the hand of God
And he'll make you king
And he'll make you king

I walk among the children of my fathers
The broken wings, betrayal's cost
They call to me but never touch my heart, now
I am too far
I'm too lost
All I can hear is what he spoke to me
Like Martin Luther
Like Pericles

Come join the murder
Come fly with black
We'll give you freedom
From the human trap
Come join the murder
Soar on my wings
You'll touch the hand of God
And he'll make you king
And he'll make you king

So now I curse that raven's fire
You made me hate, you made me burn
He laughed aloud as he flew from eden
You always knew, you never learn
The crow no longer sings to me
Like Martin Luther
Or Pericles

Come join the murder
Come fly with black
We'll give you freedom
From the human trap
Come join the murder
Soar on my wings
You'll touch the hand of God
And he'll make you king
And he'll make you king
Come join the murder
Come fly with black
We'll give you freedom
From the human trap
Come join the murder
Soar on my wings
You'll touch the hand of God
And he'll make you king
And he'll make you king

Hello Friends. Several months ago, I was lured into what seemed like a legitimate crypto investment opportunity, The platform had professional looking websites, active customer support, and what appeared to be real time profit dashboards. After a few small successful withdrawals, I became confident and invested a much larger sum over $200,000. Soon after, the platform stopped responding. My account was locked, and all communication ceased. I realized too late that I had fallen victim to a sophisticated crypto scam. Feeling helpless and devastated, I began researching recovery options and came across iCode Cyber Tech, a reputable cyber investigation and recovery service. Despite being down at first, I decided to reach out to them. What did I have to lose? From the very first contact, their team was incredibly professional and reassuring. They asked for all the details, including transaction records, wallet addresses, and communication history with the fake platform. Their team conducted a thorough blockchain analysis and began tracing the stolen assets. Their expertise, transparency, and dedication throughout the process were truly commendable. I never thought I’d see that money again, but thanks to iCode Cyber Tech, I did. Thank you, iCode Cyber Tech, for giving me a second chance.

RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY - A REPUTABLE BITCOIN RECOVERY COMPANY

Hey guys,
The man I had been chatting with, who I had trusted and followed his advice to invest in a cryptocurrency platform, was nothing more than a scammer. My son’s revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. I had invested a staggeringb€135,800 in Bitcoin, believing that not only would I find financial success but also companionship. Instead, I found myself deceived and alone, facing a situation that seemed almost unbearable. The days following the revelation were some of the darkest in my life. I remember my sleepless nights, overwhelmed with tears and anxiety. I had hoped that this investment would transform my life, but instead, it led to crushing disappointment. It took me several days just to process and calculate the total amount I had sent to this scammer and invested in the fraudulent platform. The sheer magnitude of my loss was almost too much to bear. Despite the red flags that should have warned me, I ignored them. The scammer was always evasive whenever I tried to initiate a video call, and his anger whenever I requested one should have been a clear signal of his deceit. Instead, I continued to believe his promises, blinded by my own hopes and loneliness. As a 59-year-old, my desire for connection made me vulnerable to manipulation. The scammer’s assurances and my own longing for a friend clouded my judgment, and I failed to see the fraud that was unfolding before me. When I finally came to terms with the scam, I felt utterly defeated. I was on the verge of giving up on everything, convinced that I had lost everything I had invested. That’s when my son stepped in. He saw how devastated I was and decided to take action. Determined to help me, he took it upon himself to trace the scam and recover the stolen Bitcoin. My son’s dedication was a beacon of hope during this dark time. He asked me to provide all the evidence I had—screenshots of the transactions and any other relevant information about the Bitcoin I had sent to the scammer. With this evidence, he reached out to RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY, a service he had found through extensive research. I was hesitant but hopeful that their reputation for recovering lost cryptocurrency could help us. RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY team was incredibly responsive and professional.

What I thought would be a disaster for my investment ended up becoming an insightful journey. I had lost a sum of 87,000 USD in Bitcoin to a cyber thief posing as a crypto investment genius. At first, I felt devastated and completely helpless. The funds had been part of my savings, and I had trusted what appeared to be a legitimate crypto opportunity, only to find out it was a scam. The more I thought about it, the more overwhelmed I became. I had no idea where to turn or how to even begin to address such a complex situation. At that point, I realized I had to do something, so I began researching online for possible solutions. While browsing, I came across several stories of people who had faced similar losses, and many of them mentioned a company called Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Although skeptical at first, I figured I had nothing to lose. I reached out to them, not really knowing what to expect, but hoping for a miracle. To my surprise, the process was smoother and more efficient than I could have imagined. Digital Tech Guard Recovery requested only a small amount of basic information nothing too invasive or complicated and then went to work. Their team of experts analyzed my case thoroughly, and within a short time, they provided me with updates on the progress of the recovery. It was clear from the start that they were not only professional but also genuinely invested in helping me get my money back. What impressed me most was how transparent and communicative they were throughout the entire process. They kept me informed at every step, offering regular updates on their progress. Eventually, after several weeks of investigation and careful work, they successfully recovered my lost Bitcoin. To say I was relieved would be an understatement; I was overjoyed. This situation turned out to be much more than just a financial recovery. It taught me valuable lessons about the importance of being cautious in the world of online investments and how critical it is to choose the right professionals when things go wrong. I'm incredibly grateful to Digital Tech Guard Recovery for their help and dedication. Their expertise and prompt action saved me from what could have been a permanent financial setback. I highly recommend Digital Tech Guard Recovery to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. Their reliability and ability to deliver on their promises make them a trustworthy option for recovering lost funds.

YOUR CRYPTO, OUR PRIORITY: EXPERT RECOVERY SERVICES

I am a London based professional in the investment industry and on CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES to expand my network and connect with other industry professionals. I would be happy to connect you all with CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES and start the dialogue to see how we can cooperate.

Certified Recovery Services has been a lifesaver for me. I was struggling to cope with the demands of daily life, and I felt like I was losing control. But from the moment I reached out to Certified Recovery Services, I knew I was in good hands. The team is warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in the well-being of their clients. They helped me develop a personalized plan that addressed all aspects of my recovery, and provided me with the support and guidance I needed to stay on track.

Earlier this year, my friend made a heartbreaking confession to me. She had fallen victim to a Facebook romance scam and, as a result, lost a staggering 55,000 USD in a fraudulent trading scheme. For months, she kept the ordeal hidden from me, trying to manage the shame and the crushing financial loss on her own. It wasn’t until she hit rock bottom emotionally and financially that she finally reached out for help. I felt devastated for her. It was hard to believe that such a thing could happen, especially since she had always been cautious and smart with her finances. However, the scammers are skilled manipulators, and they prey on vulnerable emotions, making it easy to fall into their trap. My friend was not alone in this. There are many who experience the same deception, and unfortunately, many of them never recover their losses. At first, I didn’t know where to turn. I knew there were plenty of recovery companies that promised to help, but I was incredibly skeptical. Having heard mixed reviews and success stories that seemed too good to be true, I didn’t want to put my friend through another potential disappointment. However, after much research, I came across CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES. Their approach seemed different. They didn’t offer any get-rich-quick promises, and they took the time to explain the recovery process step by step. I was still cautious, but I decided to give them a chance.

Certified Recovery Services has been a lifesaver for me. I was struggling to cope with the demands of daily life, and I felt like I was losing control.

They helped me develop a personalized plan that addressed all aspects of my recovery, and provided me with the support and guidance I needed to stay on track.

Earlier this year, my friend made a heartbreaking confession to me. She had fallen victim to a Facebook romance scam and, as a result, lost a staggering 55,000 USD in a fraudulent trading scheme. For months, she kept the ordeal hidden from me, trying to manage the shame and the crushing financial loss on her own. It wasn’t until she hit rock bottom emotionally and financially that she finally reached out for help. I felt devastated for her. It was hard to believe that such a thing could happen, especially since she had always been cautious and smart with her finances. However, the scammers are skilled manipulators, and they prey on vulnerable emotions, making it easy to fall into their trap. My friend was not alone in this. There are many who experience the same deception, and unfortunately, many of them never recover their losses. At first, I didn’t know where to turn. I knew there were plenty of recovery companies that promised to help, but I was incredibly skeptical. Having heard mixed reviews and success stories that seemed too good to be true, I didn’t want to put my friend through another potential disappointment. However, after much research, I came across CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES. Their approach seemed different. They didn’t offer any get-rich-quick promises, and they took the time to explain the recovery process step by step. I was still cautious, but I decided to give them a chance. The first thing I noticed was their transparency. They were clear about the steps involved and what was realistically possible. Throughout the process, they kept me informed, explaining everything in a way that made me feel comfortable and confident. There was no pressure, no false guarantees, just a calm, professional approach to recovering my friend’s lost funds. It wasn’t an overnight solution, but after some time, CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES was able to successfully recover the lost money. The feeling of relief was immense, not just because of the financial recovery, but because it brought my friend a sense of closure and trust again, both in herself and in the possibility of justice. I’m incredibly grateful to CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES for their hard work and dedication. If you or anyone you know has fallen victim to a scam, I highly recommend reaching out to them.

MOST RELIABLE BITCOIN RECOVERY COMPANY-CODER CYBER SERVICES

Despite some difficult days, I observed encouraging returns. Small things like getting cookies from the office kitchen still brought me joy. Life was moving forward, and my investments seemed to be paying off. I had started adding more money to an online platform, eager to optimize my gains. Who wouldn’t want to maximize returns when things were going so well? The platform had appeared legitimate at first, and I was excited about the steady progress my account was showing. But then, everything suddenly vanished. One morning, I logged into my account to check on my investments, only to be greeted by a stark message: “Account temporarily unavailable.” I refreshed the page, tried a different browser, and even attempted to log in from my phone all to no avail. My heart sank as I realized that the funds I had worked hard to grow seemed to have disappeared. After several failed attempts to contact customer service, I eventually received a vague email from the online platform. The message instructed me to stop interacting with the platform and suggested that I attempt a bank reversal for any deposits made. However, by this point, too much time had passed, and the window for initiating a reversal had long since closed. I felt trapped. The money I had invested seemed inaccessible, and the promise of returns that once felt so certain was now nothing more than a distant memory. Desperate for answers, I reported the situation to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), hoping that their intervention might shed some light on what had happened and bring accountability to the platform. I also began sharing my experience on online forums and social media, hoping to raise awareness and prevent others from falling into the same trap. Still, I knew that waiting for a regulatory response could take time, and I wasn’t ready to give up on recovering my funds. In my frustration, I sought out a professional service called Coder Cyber Services. Known for their expertise in recovering funds from online platforms with questionable practices, they offered a more hands-on approach. I reached out to them, hoping they could help expedite the process of retrieving my blocked payout requests. The process with Coder Cyber Services was slow, each step unfolding like a puzzle with more questions than answers. Communication from their team was sparse, and the uncertainty began to take a toll on my patience. Yet, I couldn’t give up. The professionals at Coder Cyber Services assured me they were doing everything they could, and their experience gave me hope that my case could be resolved. After weeks of waiting, my persistence paid off. Coder Cyber Services successfully helped me recover my money. Their expertise and determination turned a seemingly hopeless situation around. I finally saw the funds I thought were lost returned to my account, which was an incredible relief. Reflecting on this experience, I’ve learned several valuable lessons. The most important is the necessity of caution when dealing with online platforms. While the potential for high returns is tempting, it’s crucial to ensure that any platform you trust with your money is reputable. My decision to invest without enough research or due diligence is a mistake I will never repeat. I also learned the importance of acting quickly. Time is often the enemy when dealing with financial platforms, especially those with questionable practices. Though my journey is still ongoing, this experience has made me more resilient. I will continue to approach future investments with greater caution, vigilance, and a commitment to understanding the risks involved. And I’ll always be grateful to Coder Cyber Services for helping me recover what I thought was lost for good. Get in touch with the company via:

After graduating with a degree in IT from Stanford University in the USA in May 2024, I began my job search, determined to build a successful career. I had been saving my student aid funds with a clear goal in mind, but the search was taking longer than expected.
