Classic…

Not a dev-ops guys, just how useful /useless is docker?

Get out with the talk about skeletons. We are balloons filled with blood. There is no skeleton inside us. /s

I know backend development to some extent. Have worked with Node.js and flask. Maybe I can start from there. Thank you.

Getting visa is difficult. I am trying to get a job. It is not exactly easy either. I get almost no response for US based positions. Know any companies that are open to sponsorships? I have about 2 years of scientific and CAD software development experience, primarily in C++.

Fidel Catstro.

Pretty sure it does. The contract was always favored towards them. But, I decided to let it slide because I was pretty desperate. Now, that has come back to bite me in my ass. I might just decide to leave working in software after this debacle. It’s not worth it. Corporations have gotten too used to treating people like machines. I have been working on setting up a small horticulture or floriculture business.

I spent so long learning software development. I always wanted to work on developing software specifically for engineering. That is something I am really passionate about. Stuff like CAD, simulation, etc. But, seems like companies have taken that as a license to exploit. Also, the overabundance of software devs in the job market have made it easier for them. Better to give up.

When they initially said about the project, I refused it. But, then they said they would pay me for the project. I signed a contract that stated that I would get paid. But, now they backed out of it saying my work is not upto their standard and they are terminating the contract.

I haven’t got any resources. Company’s HQ is based in Romania, while I live in India. I just have to take this L and be even more careful next time.

They probably think only OOP is right.

I am too poor to open a development company. But, if I ever did, I would want it to be employee owned, with employees having power to oust the entire executive team. Clients who don’t wanna pay are too fucking common.

Perhaps the biggest joke was why they rejected me. Apparently I only used “basic concepts of object oriented programming.” I found that to be the best because using anything more advanced might diffuse the logic too much, something I didn’t like. But, no, they probably think I should use everything in “Clean Code” because they probably worship that book.

The company is called GeoStru, which is their Sales and Marketing. The offshoot of that, that is responsible for development is called Engsoft SRL. It is located in Romania.

Having a job sucks. Not having a job, and constantly being ignored or rejected does a number on my mental health too.

A company I applied for gave me a take home assignment, I said that I would only do it if they pay me. They said they would pay me. The project took me about 2.5 months. Now they have rejected me saying it is not good enough, didn’t pay me for the work I have done. It has been an all-around hell week for me. I hate being taken advantage of like that. Fuck whatever enables people or companies like this.

“No way this is merging with the main.”

I am a backend dev, but this shit is why I have utmost respect for frontend devs, also because they know how to center a div.

Ok, the jig is up. We are exposed. Better pack our bags and get out while we can.

Maybe, I am not that good of a software engineer. Probably, why I don’t get jobs, despite thinking that I did well for the interview?

Please don’t share such secrets in a public forum.
