So happy Facebook rejected me. I am so happy doing Native Code.

Although React would get me free breakfast, lunch, dinner, massages, laundry, nap rooms,.. not sure what other perks you get at Facebook.. hmm more money.. maybe..

Not sure I am so happy now.

Hmmm I am so glad I choose iOS over Android in 2009.

But look at the bright side. Android will have the biggest market share.

Btw iOS is a piece of cake compared to React and Android. You will be a lot happier but I am not sure how long Apple’s Wall Garden will last.

Hang in there.

Take baby steps.
- take a walk
- talk to people (like in a cafe)
- get a job where you talk to people like Starbucks or a be a waiter
- do some community work
- main thing is be around people

Limit online (Facebook Twitter and stuff like that)

You will be fine. Everyone goes through this.

That’s exactly what I used to do. Then director of engineering schools me and tells me how important JIRA is and ticket numbers should be in each ticket.

Thank God I was forced to leave the job. I was given a PIP... look up it’s so funny. Basically new way of getting rid of employees without severance package.

I hate the ticket numbers in front of any Git message. I hate it.
Example:
MOBL-573: Config: changed server url

What do you guys think?

@pandasama selling is definitely important.

How do you sell yourself? Well, in my opinion you have to position yourself. Like take projects or jobs that will give you a chance for positions that are like ideal or dream job.

Like you are in college and want to be an iOS developer then take iOS projects. Join some github open source and contribute. Or small paying projects for money. You pack your resume.

Look at the market and really find jobs that are totally new technology like machine learning, AI, AR, or something. Find out what people really want. Like doing SQL or Java will not get you anywhere because there are Java developers with 20 years of experience and SQL guys date back to Stone Age.

So pick something like Swift or Kotlin. Your competition will only have 2 years on you. Maybe not even that if you already know it.

@ammadfa then leave them no developer.. lol move on and they can stick there late nights where sun does not shine.

The advice I give to everyone:

Time to find another job!

Whoa!

I found JavaScript in AI...

tutorialzine.com/2017/04/10-machine-learning-examples-in-javascript

Okay my 2 cents.

Always have a monetization plan.

A. get users (lot of them) sells adds or something

B. Or sell ur software as service

C. Get funding even with A or B

D. Make some freaking AI or something bleeding edge that no one got .. license or sell.. again back to B and C

So happy for u. Stick with it. Billion or bust.

Oh one more thing there is no loyalty in this business. Only friends u make are the ones that will help u.

We devs take care of other devs. Stick together with ur genuine friends and colleagues.

Manager.. I hate em all. They play games.

I got nothing to worry about. U got a job and that’s what matters.

Learn from any mistakes and experiences. Do everything so this kind of stuff does not repeat.

Otherwise flush this experience out of you system. Take a little break.

Okay I read more of your post. Took me a while. LOL Clover sounds like a dogs name.

Yes update ur resume like tonight. Talk to lot of pple next week. Get screening calls all lined up.

But again find out in secrecy what is their severance package. Over 2 months ? Great!

Less than a month you got ur work cut out for u.

Get ur skills sharpened. Talk to urself as if in a interview.

Get cracking coding interview book. Go on hacker rank or leet code or some. Spend ur valuable time on u.

Find out what is ur severance pay. If none find another job else ignore him too.

Get other places lined up. Option A, B, C,....Z

Hr is never on ur side.

Really don’t ask f’ing fibonacci because to this day I stink at all algorithms and puzzles. I just learned to do all and luck lands me to places pple can’t dream of. It is a struggle for us dumb low iq pple who after studying data structures for 30 years still stink. I can make you an IOS App in 30 days just don’t ask me how. Just get results and play the role.

Fool urself into thinking you are all that get confidence and keep rolling the dice.

Okay let the guy who will get fired help you. Yes that’s me.

Do mock interviews with friends
Go to cafe and chit chat with pple
Learn to break ice with pple

I can go on and on but another thing landing ur first job is the hardest thing anyone can do.

For a 1000 Call’s I landed 10 interviews of which I failed all. My uncle hired me in his company out of sympathy. My first job. A C student with literally borderline 2.0 avg.

After 20 years I suck At programming and what I learned you become an actor and play the role of a programmer.

@mojo2012 I am so glad at least there is one dev who feels the same way about rebase.

I can totally relate.

Tired of NY! Been 14 years!

This is my cure to my issues. I relocate and I am thinking about SF. Nice weather. Parking everywhere. Lots of devs who will understand me better.. Rant in person!

Can’t wait to get a stick shift. Let out my frustration on the road. BTW I don’t road rage. Just fly up and down mountains.

Tell your manager to go to Kayak.

Find a ticket to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (code phx)

Rent a car in Phoenix Airport like Ugly Duckling

Take I-17 North like 150 miles
Take HWY 180 North for like 40 miles
Take HWY 64 North for like 30 miles

Get out to Grand Canyon Village
Walk like a mile or couple miles
Go down to Canyon for 1 or 2 hours

Yell really loud whatever he wants
Grand Canyon will ECHO back his crap

I hope he took some water because it’s like 6 -10 hours walk back up

And this is Linus Torvalds greatest rant.

Warning: this is like million email thread and you will lose productivity for a month.

READ AT YOUR OWN RISk

And to further stir the pot...

from : https://lwn.net/Articles/328436/

There are a couple of problems associated with rebasing, though. One of those is that it changes the commit history. Whenever a series of commits is rebased, anybody who was working with the old history is left out in the cold. If a heavily-used tree is rebased, all developers depending on that tree are forced to scramble to readjust to the new reality. The other problem is that rebased patches are changed patches; any testing that they saw may no longer be applicable. That is why Linus tends to grumble hard at trees which have obviously been rebased just prior to the sending of a pull request. The changes in those trees probably worked before the rebase, but the post-rebase changes have not been tested and may not work as well.

@k0pernikus i totally understand what you are saying. I have been using rebase for several years now. So I hope I am not a rebase noob.

Where I have issues are doing pull requests to merge or rebase to master. It’s resolving the conflict commit by commit and a file at a time. If master changed by a lot before your pull request then you are stuck with N commits * M conflicted times O(n*m). Worst case scenario. A merge is O(m).

Of course this is worst case scenario and once a year you do run into it. Larger teams probably run into it more frequently.

There is a time where merging to master makes sense and that option is not available because all the hate towards clean history and maybe abuse of merging frequently going on historically. It’s almost the same rhetoric that is for singletons.

@-ANGRY-CLIENT- you should have opened your Mobile and started playing CandyCrush. Full Brightness and Max Sound .. of course no ear buds.

I am going to look for most annoying apps.

@RememberMe I did consider Buddhism. Only part is you from Samsara to Nirvana. But in batteries case it deteriorates over time. Battery kind of of starts with Nirvana and ends up in Samsara. Someone please enlighten me more about Buddhism. I will do some reading on Buddhism today to get to the bottom of this.

I am still searching for my strength.

I worked on 2 JS framework.. jquery for like 20 days ... Dojo for like 21 days.

Any one framework you guys will recommend me? I keep hearing react and angular.

I have done iOS programming for 9 years and I enjoy it.

I did Java programming for about 12 before iOS. It was a painful experience. I can go in details but I will save it for another time.

Apple Development: couple devices (all Apple), one IDE, one place to look for reference, .... I can keep going.

Easy development and no headaches. Oh I forgot.. iOS developers tend to make more money because iOS Apps make more money.

What am I missing?

@Cheeseypi Oh that sucks even more. Now you got to deal with code reviews and managerial crap.

Double the hate!

My manager use to confuse Java with JavaScript.

Hate managers!

It’s like 5pm and I left early and I can cuss openly now.
