after working in enterprise and expanding the team with more shitty lazy people i understand why there's TDD, Jira and scrum masters in this industry, most developers are lazy and clueless that can't even code with AI

maybe 5 rounds of interviews are necessary

Now this is what I call a breakfast

Peanut butter, cheese, kimchi toastie
Black coffee in anime mug
Hay fever medicine

Set a meeting budget for the week and decline to join any meetings when you go over it
Protect your time and get shit done

The eternal question of whom to listen to:

1. An SWE who writes slop but earns lots of money.

2. An SWE who crafts a magnificent useful bug-free project but doesn’t earn money from it.

I really hope that they start making drastic changes in C#/dotnet

There is an amazing new language in there, full of functional features, record types. A joy to work with
But there are also all of the old ways of doing things still in there

Break backwards compatibility please

You can’t make somebody succeed if they have got that dog in them

Don’t waste your time
Be there for those with the drive and passion for it
Don’t try to make somebody who isn’t meant to succeed, succeed

Sydney is the most beautiful city I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting
Incredible blend of big city vibes and nature
The city is bustling but at the same time you can skip away into a private cafe
The ere are big companies doing big things. And creative people

Enterprise devs will really go and make an interface for every single class they do and call it abstraction

Software is not respected in normal Japanese companies

Your average Japanese person thinks an accountant is a harder job than software.
Software engineers aren’t trained, you just get assigned to that post

Japan fumbled the software ball, they are focused on hardware

I really want to go overseas
I want to experience living in a different culture again. I want to advance my career

But that’s not the right choice for my family
I guess this is what being a family man is about. Picking the path that you don’t want. But that’s best

Paying for software that you use is incredible

When you don’t pay. You are the product. You get mined. That shit sucks.

You can just do stuff

Systems programming is way too cool
