Yes I am that nuts

#officedrama

A new project got approved for my dev team. Okay, it's not my dev team. I'm a senior member but not the lead. Anyhoo.

I got assigned to the data modeling aspect. You know, design and build the database? I'm a self-styled "full stack developer," since I handle a little of everything -- front-end, back-end, database. I do it all, but I prefer front-end, but I do have a soft spot in my heart for building database designs.

So in a team meeting, we were discussing the new project. I said I was looking forward to working on the data model, and my boss looked at me like I was nuts.

If that's how you like it, then heck yeah I am. Yeah, this is the job that pays my bills, but that doesn't mean I can't love the crap out of it sometimes. I guess the moral of this little anecdote is:

Don't let people shame you about what you love. Own it. Make it yours. Love your job, if you're so inclined, and always love yourself.

Hands-on debugging session: instrument, monitor, and fix

Join Lazar for a hands-on session where you’ll build it, break it, debug it, and fix it. You’ll set up Sentry, track errors, use Session Replay and Tracing, and leverage some good ol’ AI to find and fix issues fast.
