I still find it fun, but my boss have unrealistic expectations of me... I only work with programming for one year and a half, and yet he expects me to be able to do everything alone; develop, design, engineer, configure, deploy, create an app for Android and iOS and everything is "due tomorrow"... Hence I'm working up to 3am everyday (even at this January 1st) when I have to get up at 6am to go to work...

And when I can't figure something out (for example I simply can't figure out how to compile a React Native app for iOS, because the steps in the documentation gives errors, Google is of no help and I never used a Mac in my life, yet I had two days to make the app, which is now due), he makes sure to let me know how much I am disappointing and how much I cost...

Being the only developer of the company is not helping either, since they "can't afford" to let me take my vacation.

A few more weeks of this and I'm loosing it...
