Interesting post 🔥
Nailed it bro... I can relate to all these. It's funny but fact. Life moves on... 😀👌
Who hurt you?
Very grateful for the positivity! I'm starting school for video game design in a few weeks. Made games as a kid 20 years ago. Only got back into it a year ago, made an awesome (to me) top down shooter, and recently a mobile app w/ ai integration in Unity.... My brain has been thinking in code for most my life, so it just feels so right to be building things again. Scary times, but as you say, it's like a superpower and a drug :)
Cheers

Good article,very relatable...
You forgot to tell about the 'chief architect' who wrote a line of code 20 years ago (php, fortran, cobol), spends most of his time in high hierarchy levels meetings, or on draw.io, inventing ways to complicate your life to implement his "latest ideas" drawn on hyper complexity diagrams violating 90% all of security standards rules. He does not understand why RFCs where invented (but refers to them constantly), asks you to "reinterpret" them "if possible", to "meet the needs". He also has the habit to steal any of your construcitve propositions, making them hims. These are not your ideas anymore
Its even worse for people that are trying to land a junior position. Even that i code in different languages and am familiar with X different tools, made a hobby and freelance projects over 5 years, try to stay in shape by coding and commiting everyday, i still feel like its imposible and only way for me is highly competetive freelancing, and that is verry demoralizing.
Been searching for why a FreeRTOS context switch takes 122ms every time when calling the same function chain from place a, but is instant when calling from place b whilst heap stays the same, stack isn't near overflowing, debugger tools... hahahaha debugging tools with esp32. How about triggering your breakpoint, but shifting by 10 lines even though compiler optimizations are turned off so nothing could possibly be shifting lines. How about a profiler to measure if any task takes too long based on a fault in my code logic? nvm, because turns out the new hot profiler that eveyone reccommends only works x way, which isn't possible in my project due to the IO I had to configure in order for the system to work. Yep back to regular old serial print statements for fucks sake. Time to write my own profiler, or change the 100st library AGAIN because all the other ones also don't work out of the box, because they're made by somebody in their spare time.
I feel better now I've written this.
F to all devs who also want to hang themselves, and F^999999^999999 to all embeded devs.
Funny; worthy quick read. Thank you.
Literally Engaging bro and the whole things are relatable
I have had my share of existential crisis over the years 😳
😃 fun facts
Relatable × 💯 I have seen an unhealthy number of node modules folder deployed 📂 😂😅
lol you just described it
This is by far the best read I've ever had on this site and I'm glad I found it.Thank You
Crying in the corner hoping no one notices😕
You'll receive a call once everything has broken down
I explained this same thing in a bit different way here:
The Platform Explosion
Fun read ! So True tho. We all have that love-hate relationship with AI.
Hardly ever laughed this much while reading a blog post - thankx for that!
Have you all noticed this is written by an AI?
The timing on the jokes got me
Amazing, had me in tears from the beginning ( ≧ᗜ≦)
