Half your day will be writing comments in PRs.
Some...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Also, you come up with more and more reasons not to code things (as a team). Junior Devs usually see every problem as an unwritten script or function, but Senior Devs will suggest a change in process or leveraging vendor tools instead of homegrown solutions. At the end of the day, the most secure, performant, and maintainable code is the code you never write.
It seems so counter intuitive! Maybe I'm just not ready for a senior * position
True, thanks for sharing :)
Also senior developer search of how to get date in javascript
I have a bookmark
I just grab my old date handling lib, gloss over it with the latest applicable standards, and drop it into
/utils, because I'm past convincing there might be a better native solution any time soon...I got very confused about the hair thing, fingers crossed for that 😂.
The most important point I think is "You realize coding skills are not everything", especially because when we start we are so focused on the technical part and at the end of the day, we love it but yes, it's not everything especially within a team.
I believe it too. Technical skills become secondary with time.
I can relate with being asked to give input on how something is implemented. It always seems like it is going to be fast and then hours later you realize that you've been doing a deep dive into why something is constructed the way it is. Great Post 👏
Thank you!
Almost all of them, except the Bald. I guess I am not a Senior already haha.
Btw, thanks for sharing 🙌🏻
These are just signs you don't have to fit all of them. I still have hair too 😎
Love to hear that 🙌🏻
This post left me confused because I can relate to some and not to others! 😅
Me too I still have hair
I am just afraid about the hair part, especially because my hair is starting to get like Vegeta’s hair shape
I'd worry if you get the letter from the world's bald association 👨🦲
I guess I'm not a good senior software engineer (but I am)
I only fit maybe 2 criteria
Remember these are just signs not a list of criteria. I still have hair 👨🦲
Also teaching Junior devs :) and write blogs like you hahahahaa
I always tell junior devs to write a blog so they solidify everything they learn. Teaching things and writing is a cheat-code for skyrocketing your career 😏
More and more of we don't do this here 😂
I'm mid-level but already balding. Guess I'm still on track 😂
Your brain will not overheat!
Yes, I can identify with a lot of these. I eventually came to hate being a team leader/senior dev because of the meetings, documentation, forms, lack of coding.
I love documenting so sometimes I will ask for the tasks that require documenting and get to skip some meetings 😎
My bad then because I didn’t mean to make it sound like that. Just wanted to list some funny things 😅
another: Your boss jokingly asks for a feature that would be nightmarish and you have mild anxiety for an hour
maybe you can keep your hair like Gilfoyle
dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/up...
You can you’ll just have worse cooling than someone without hair.
Quip Engineer ;)
