Do you think you are being overworked compared to the industry standard (from experience or vibes) ?

What are your responsibilities ?

Do you do application deployments ?

What does the ownership look like in your compan. Do devs own everything and perform all tasks for the application to function? ( server management, server user profile management, application hosting, etc )

Do you work off hours ?

Do you make the industry standard or are you paid less ?

Have you quit any jobs where you knew it was all over ?

Where you were aware you were in a sinking ship ?

I recently just quit and one of my biggest fears prior to quitting is that coworkers (who I knew were looking for other jobs) were going to leave me in the dust trying to fix issues at a scale way beyond our collective pay and skill set.

In this scenario I would have 0 chance of making meaningful changes and handle basic tasks like site reliability or feature releases, just fixing issues with integrators could take 2 devs alone full time.

I'm curious what other people's experiences are when quitting similar jobs, I had another job way long sgo where the project was already almost dead by the time I joined. I made massive changes along with new collegeaues but the technical debt was insurmountable. I left because I found a much better job to the point my manager tried to counter offer me but just couldn't make it work (I wouldn't have stayed even if the offer is better)

I tried talking about this with my girlfriend and she kind of didn't give me any input except "I understand why that makes you upset"

Long story short someone I used to be friends with started saying things like they hate me, don't want to see me if I'm around, would actively avoid me.

I initially thought it was a meme or a joke as usually people say stuff like that "I haaate this dude maaan" but jokingly, but then I found out it was real.

I first got mad at my friends for not saying anything, people don't want to take sides so they didn't want to "pick" me or them and say "this person is wrong here". I wasn't okay with someone saying that, and in addition to that I wasn't okay with people saying nothing about this situation. So I stopped talking to everyone altogether, some people DM me here and there, one person has said "other person was in the wrong"

I felt as though someone intentionally was trying to push me out of my own friend group and no one cared, therefore in my eyes it felt like people were okay for me to be pushed out.

Anyways recently people have been trying to get me to hang out again and they just say "just pretend that person isn't there"

I don't know how to cope with this situation, I had lots of fun with those people but because of my BPD I feel like they can never be my friends again. It's a feeling hard to explain but I've had it explained to me as "people with bpd struggle to see gray situations and tend to see everything in black/white". So in my mind that entire friend group is deep black.

I don't really know where this is going, is it possible to even recover this situation? btw I'm not going to bend over or make ultimatums.

I just wish that other person never existed and everything would be okay, or maybe I wish I never interacted with that person ever and this would have never happened.

I don't have the social skillset to decode this situation and my BPD is making it near impossible to not feel empty about it

I'm kind of sick of being a dev. I hate AI with a passion.

I hate the hallucinations, I hate slop, I hate megacrops, I hate the environmental impacts, I hate the massive costs. I could go on but you get the picture.

At work I often times have to review vibe code slop from people who clock in 9 to 5 and don't give a fuck (I respect that, I just wish your fucking code wasn't slop)

I'm sick of it, I'm sick of hearing about AI tooling or new models or bro agentic actions bro based on your documentation bro.

I want to switch careers, so which career is not ruined by AI?

I realized I always make a source folder under home and then subfolders named after programming languages to organize projects but then I realized I somehow had my own convention for how to store my source code and I have no idea where I got it from

Then I thought. what about other Linux users ?

What sorts of conventions do you have that pertains to folder structure in Linux ?
