    let’s turn this into a constructive angle for future devs and current juniors: just learn git cli, I promise you it is much simpler than it seems.

    all those memes about git having like a thousand commands are true, but you really will only use like 7 at most per month.

    learn push, pull, merge, squash, stash, reset, im probably missing like one or two

    I promise you again: it is much simpler than it seems. and you won’t have to use these stupid git GUI things, and it will save you a hassle because you will know what commands you are running and what they do

    short disclaimer: using git GUI is totally fine but low-key you are missing out on so much





  • you unironically just have to cope with it in whatever way makes sense to you

    I personally think of my career as: “some things I do are interesting and keep me from blowing my brains out, the rest I don’t care about”

    when it comes to the company I work for: I treat everyone I meet well, no corporate bs, no yes sir yes ma’am. I do whatever I’m assigned and meet deadlines

    but I never go above and beyond (because of burnout)

    everything you’ve thought about hard work = reward or better pay is a scam

    put everything into work-life balance and when you go home focus on things you really want to do, such as hobbies or hang outs

    don’t do unpaid overtime, don’t bend over for anyone, don’t offer yourself up when shit goes down

    you want to be as invisible as possible while not burning out AND not working your ass off (everyone has different standards for what this means)

    tldr: just find some way to cope because there isn’t really anything else you can do


  • short answer: yes

    long answer: opinions are kind of a privilege. if you’re someone working 9 to 5 you probably couldn’t give a shit about anything other than relaxing and winding down from the stress of a work week. if you’re someone who manages to still be involved, congrats. pushing this unto other people imo is not fair. ideally people would work less and have more free time to get situated with how their surroundings are being legislated

    corporations can create good applications and tooling, they also create toxic dark pattern applications

    open source devs can create air tight software or they can make some dingus word alternatives that just doesn’t work at all

    I love open source but there are certainly some bad programs out there (for free though)
