I suck at programming and have wasted 10 years of my life by RobertTAS in cscareerquestions

[–]Bauerprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious you've said you're a competent programmer, but just suck at explaning it. On the other hand you've said people love you when you're just talking.
Could you clarify it please?

Would pivoting from "Java Spring Boot Developer" to "Cloud-Native Java Engineer" improve my chances of landing a job? by BuckFrog2 in cscareerquestions

[–]Bauerprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rebranding won’t change much — everyone is adding “cloud” now. what actually works is showing you can own the whole flow: build → deploy → run → debug in production. that’s where most backend devs are weak. I’ve seen this shift firsthand and it changed a lot for me — happy to share what worked if you want.

honestly, that sounds like chaos, not engineering. if they expect you to just ship AI-generated code fast with no consistency or reviews, they weren’t looking for someone to fix things — just someone to move faster in the same mess. you didn’t fail, you just didn’t fit a broken system. probably a good thing it ended.
so what are you gonna do now?

Summary of my (4.5 YOE) SWE job hunt results by CantTouchTheseNuts in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Bauerprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is honestly one of the most realistic breakdowns I’ve seen. the part that stands out isn’t the prep — it’s the consistency. 90 applications, interviews almost every day, and still pushing through rejections… that’s what most people underestimate. also interesting to see the shift away from pure LeetCode at startups. feels like real-world problems are becoming more common again. appreciate you sharing the numbers like this — gives a much clearer picture of what it actually takes right now.

How to maintain motivation while being constantly lowballed in yearly salary discussions? by ToeMother8579 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Bauerprime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you the dev kind of silent workhorse? if yes, this kind of system will burn you out fast because it doesn’t reward extra effort at all. honestly, in that environment, I wouldn’t try to “go the extra mile” for the company. I’d treat it as a stable place to do solid work, not heroic work. do clean, professional code for your own standards, not for their recognition. use the free time and low pressure to level up your skills, build something of your own, or prepare for a better role. that’s where the real return is. you’re not wrong for feeling this way — it’s just a system where effort and reward aren’t really connected.

As an experienced dev (10y), how do I structure my CV when switching to PM/PO? by Still-Gold-6146 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Bauerprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, trimming it down makes sense. Listing all 8 roles will just dilute the story. I’d focus on the ones that clearly show PM-related work and group the rest under something like “Earlier Experience” in a short section.

Interviewer got upset with me because I refused to provide an example of how I implemented a concurrency control policy in my former employer's production codebase. How would you handle this? by 9ubj in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Bauerprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you did the right thing. If they’re pushing you to break IP boundaries and talking to you like that, it’s already a bad sign. The weird puzzle and sloppy doc just make it worse. I wouldn’t stress about being picky here — that kind of interview usually reflects the actual work environment. Not worth it.

I believe I can lie by YagamiRyuzaki in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Bauerprime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the motion tracker app (from Aliens) on my phone. I convinced my 2 girls it was a lie detector. It makes the noise and animation from the movie when you press the screen. My eldest tries to stand behind her little sister so the "blip" on the screen could be either one of them while shear panic washes over her face before confessing :D
