I hate being a junior right now.
Leadership keeps pushing us to use AI so we can ship faster.
At the same time, my manager and architect expect me to deeply understand codebases written in languages I've barely touched.
When I joined, we were put on an internal drag-and-drop platform that generated most of the code behind the scenes. So my exposure to real software engineering was limited.
I did some Go, but never deeply. In college, I worked with Python and C++.
I've never written production Java or Stencil/TypeScript.
Now we're rewriting a years-old feature written using internal platform in Java, with a Stencil/TS frontend.
And this isn't some small feature.
A 6-person team was split into two 3-person teams to tackle it.
The hardest part?
Every code review makes me feel like I'm behind.
AI generates code quickly, but when that code turns into spaghetti, I'm the one who has to understand it, defend it, debug it, and maintain it.
Testing isn't much better.
Even tiny changes can require deploying the Java library to dev/test environments, while Jenkins builds can take ~an hour.
I'm burning out.
I work till 9:00pm and I have sacrificed many weekends.
And the frustrating part is that I'm losing the time and mental energy to work on the things I actually care about:
Rust.
Blockchain.
My Terminology Extraction Engine.
I know being uncomfortable is part of growing as an engineer.
But I also don't want to spend the next year surviving instead of actually learning.
Senior engineers:
What would you do if you were in my position?
How would you get better at your job without completely burning yourself out?
I memang akan advise my students, kalau boleh jangan ambil mystep/protege what so ever. Banyak dah dapat feedback tak best from previous students.
Patutnya after grad dah boleh terus kerja as engineer dengan gaji rm2.8k-3k. Habis program ni, apply company lain dorang offer just a bit higher je dari ‘elaun’ mystep/protege tu. Nak naik lambat giler.
After conducting 80+ tech interviews (from initial screenings to live session), here's what I can share about hiring.
It's not supposed to be this long, but 3500+ words 🤷♂️, too lazy to check the grammar/spelling/facts.

Tadi dengar HotFM. And they interviewed this one inspector name Tuan Kamal. Tuan Kamal bgtahu, kalau one of your family hilang, and dalam masa terdekat tu cari tak jumpa juga,
Sila report police terus. Bukan tunggu sejam 24 jam. 10min hilang buntu dah mana nak cari, sila REPORT POLICE.

⚠️Scam guna Airbnb⚠️
Offer listing murah2
Then before check in minta deposit.
Unit dia tu tak wujud pun,
scam kaya makan duit “deposit”
Apa nak buat lepas booking host minta deposit? call Airbnb cakap nk cancel sebab host minta deposit tapi tak mention dalam listing.
Nanti dapat balik duit booking kita tu walaupun kurang 24 jam dari waktu check in
So today I fell victim to a scam via @Airbnb_my. Kinda caught me off-guard cause I thought @Airbnb's were safe. Posting this solely because I wanted to share my experience. Hope everyone stays wary and learn from my mistakes, and be careful who to trust.
A thread.

@Cikgu_Anep Saya lebih suka orang yang tak pandai berbahasa Inggeris tetapi mencuba untuk menggunakan bahasa Inggeris BERBANDING orang yang pandai berbahasa Inggeris tetapi angkuh sehingga terlalu bangga merendahkan dan memalukan orang lain.
