I'm a mid-level software engineer, with both junior and senior developers in the team. Our new manager is super keen on delegating work to the rest of the team. I keep finding myse…

I love the idea of this but you read so many stories about the owners of open sourced projects not making a penny, whilst millions use their work and benefit financially. It’s diff…

Agreed. The tech bubble will be difficult to pop but it will. I don’t agree with developers being overpaid because the knowledge we need at a high level is ridiculous. I do agree t…

That’s great at your parents house but when you have kids to feed and a mortgage to pay, doing it for free is off the cards, no matter how much you love it.

The thought of writing JavaScript in my 60s is a painful thought.

How? It’ll be very difficult to make working with algorithms for fintech company, sacred.

100%. Very Elon Musk BUT even Elon himself had looked after his own and made his own millions before trying to tackle that.

So what’s the point? You want to work forever? There’s no goal to retire early and just enjoy life or start your own company? > I’m very far from making a lot of money The software…

Make money forever? Work until you create an income yourself? Contract and retire early? What’s the goal? We make so much money very early in our careers that it’s very easy to los…

If you find that, for whatever reason, there's a slot in the day where you can either do / ask for more company work, or work on your side projects... What do you do?

Honestly, no. Programming is all I know... Which is kinda sad. You either churn out work and hope you can climb to the top with the seniors and managers, or go down the entrepreneu…

I'm facing this exact problem. The guy that works on the weekend, is unfortunately the most senior engineer on our team (it's quite sad really. He has nothing to prove, a wife and …

All the best man. I hope you get the freedom you deserve one day.

I guess it's a really foolish way to think but whenever I think about those who suck up to their bosses and work weekends for no reward, I just think about the story of the CEO tha…

It's not necessarily "working weekends" that's the issue. You can have a job that requires you to work 2 hours per day and still work 6-7 days a week. It's more the constant backlo…

LOL. Correct. This guy who works weekends without even being asked to, is genuinely a genius in that area but he just churns out complete sh*t. Mindlessly building.

I really hope we both make it out, man. I really do. We'll be free one day. Keep building.

Keep at it. We'll get through it and have freedom one day. One day.

Great comment. Thank you. I'm currently reading "Manifest. 7 steps to living your best life". It's pretty much exactly what you've described. It sounds like you're going through an…
