Sigh! I should have known.

User analytics is such an innocent word for spyware.

Yeah this what you get when you code based on vibes.

Ah yes, the elusive AI “programmers”.

If you are worried about US laws affecting FOSS projects, it can always be forked, perhaps even be rewritten.

I always keep saying " You cannot plan your way out of a system built on broken fundamentals." Microservices has it’s use case, but not every web app needs to be one. Too many buzzwords floating around in tech, that promise things that cannot be delivered.

Fuck Black Friday. We need Blackout friday.

Why call it “privacy policy”, when it clearly is “no privacy policy”?

Well there is stardew valley.

Not a dev-ops guys, just how useful /useless is docker?

Currently, I am setting up a small horticulture business and keeping software dev as strictly hobby. But, I feel like I haven’t been given a fair chance and that hurts.

I love software. But only because I understand it’s limitations. I love developing software for engineering applications. Problem is that type of software is mostly developed by a handful of companies due heavy consolidation and difficulty in handling development of such software. So I have a hard time getting a job in this space. Eventually, because of some bad experiences, I am thinking about moving away from tech. But I love learning about CAD, FEA and how to develop such softwares. This situation just makes me sad.

I know backend development to some extent. Have worked with Node.js and flask. Maybe I can start from there. Thank you.

Getting visa is difficult. I am trying to get a job. It is not exactly easy either. I get almost no response for US based positions. Know any companies that are open to sponsorships? I have about 2 years of scientific and CAD software development experience, primarily in C++.

Pretty sure it does. The contract was always favored towards them. But, I decided to let it slide because I was pretty desperate. Now, that has come back to bite me in my ass. I might just decide to leave working in software after this debacle. It’s not worth it. Corporations have gotten too used to treating people like machines. I have been working on setting up a small horticulture or floriculture business.

I spent so long learning software development. I always wanted to work on developing software specifically for engineering. That is something I am really passionate about. Stuff like CAD, simulation, etc. But, seems like companies have taken that as a license to exploit. Also, the overabundance of software devs in the job market have made it easier for them. Better to give up.

When they initially said about the project, I refused it. But, then they said they would pay me for the project. I signed a contract that stated that I would get paid. But, now they backed out of it saying my work is not upto their standard and they are terminating the contract.

I haven’t got any resources. Company’s HQ is based in Romania, while I live in India. I just have to take this L and be even more careful next time.

They probably think only OOP is right.

I am too poor to open a development company. But, if I ever did, I would want it to be employee owned, with employees having power to oust the entire executive team. Clients who don’t wanna pay are too fucking common.

Perhaps the biggest joke was why they rejected me. Apparently I only used “basic concepts of object oriented programming.” I found that to be the best because using anything more advanced might diffuse the logic too much, something I didn’t like. But, no, they probably think I should use everything in “Clean Code” because they probably worship that book.
