Is London good for (Full Stack) Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience?

I had a tight deadline so what I did to finish the feature was to cut corners by not writing optimized code and not doing enough dev testing to ensure the feature works.

End of today, I've moved the ticket to QA.

I got laid off.

19/08/2022 - I received an email at 3pm advising me that I'm part of a group of 100 employees who are being let go. All the accounts were deactivated except Slack so we can say final good-bye to our team.

The decision was made based on "Last in, first out". It sucks because I loved the work and team plus work from home.

Some people get ego boost when they get positions like team lead or manager for software development team. In a nutshell you don't know shit about programming how the fuck you became tech lead? You fucked up the entire project that you managed and now shifting blame on someone else. Well fuck you!

I don't understand why I'm running Angular app inside docket for development.

I guess I love my complicated life.

Yes, project is due in 7 days organize 1 hour project catch up meeting 2 times a day. Great.

During the interview I was told that overtime will be paid. I'm working on a project which requires a lot of overtime so we can meet deadline. I was told that there is no budget for overtime.

I have also done 50 hours of overtime so that means 50 hours of overtime will not be paid to me.

I've resigned 3 weeks ago. I have also completed my handover process.

Yesterday I was told that I have to work in the weekend and at night because project delivery date is the following week.

Kindly I responded that I have resigned and working on weekends and late nights won't benefit me in anyway now actually I wasn't benefiting from working on weekends and late nights even before my resignation.

Project manager is pissed off at me.

Oh well, it is what it is 🤷

Everytime I join Microsoft team meeting, my webcam and mic is turned on by default. Don't they save the preference for next time.

Doing the work you don't love just to survive and money. Whole of today I had headache due to eye strain working on a project without regular breaks.

The effort I have to put in to connect .NET Core 5 with SQL Server 😢

Why do they keep sending me support related email when I clearly advised them to contact helpdesk support team directly.

I used to use Sass, does anyone still use Sass?

I don't know why I have an account on Instagram. I don't post anything.

There is this colleague working in my team so if I ask her to Todo something for me she will do it but will respond to my email just few minutes before sign off time (4:30pm). Next day during the standup meeting she will inform the manager that the task has completed and it's in my plate now. Since she responded to me just few minutes before signoff time I was not able to deliver the task that I was suppose todo on that day.

Great systemctl isn't supported in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)....just great.

Is Microsoft Dynamics and SAP overrated?

I applied for tender few weeks and I didn't get the website revamp job. Sad, but at least I know how to write tender now.

It's 1:52 AM, I'm in bed and overthinking.

Just last week I made a webstore app to host some premium WordPress plugins and I'm using PayPal as payment gateway. Today I received an email that PayPal has put limitations on my account and wants me to provide them with some more details.

I haven't sold any plugins yet and PayPal putting their limitations...like what the hell man.

Working from home routine (Lockdown edition):
1. Wakeup at 8am
2. Meeting at 8:30am
3. Next 3 hours just focus on coding
4. Push code to source control
5. Focus on myself

I was about sign-out and collegue comes running that something is urgent and can't wait till next day.

I said fuck off to his face and told him to go and resume his tik-tok video. I signed out and left office. Next day he reported me to HR. Disciplinary action will taken against me starting next week.

Awesome 😎

My head is now in place to start my own software company.

I have a feeling my contract won't be getting renewed next year because the work will be complete this year and they won't be needing me.

It was my fault and I was blaming someone else (In my head). I apologize for my stupidity 😔

I made an Android app that on random interval shows android notification with sound like Facebook notification.

Few girls in the office asking me whose messaging me this much on Facebook Messenger. They think the girls are responding to my messages and you know in no time the gossip made me famous.

It's kinda cool being a programmer 😎

I applied for System Analyst vancancy. I got the interview. I went for the interview. Today I received an email stating that I've not been selected.

Inner me: Rejection is part of life. Hang in there.

This female collegue whom I used to hangout during tea and lunch has suddenly started hanging out with another female collegue.

I'm alone, sad and overthinking is killing me. I asked her if there is something I said or did that made her hang out with someone else.

She said it's not a big deal and I should stop creating drama. I think I lost my self-respect while facing her about this.

I went for job interview and they gave me a paper with questions about coding and I have to write the answers in the same paper. Why did they didn't give me a laptop to write the answer?

Ms Word doesn't support attachments in mail merge and the fucking CEO wants me to add in the support. I hate my job now.

Time to resign...

All I wanted to do want uninstall an extension from Visual Studio and then a message came up "Please update Visual Studio Installer before proceeding."
