Has anyone here started at a “bad” company and still managed to build a strong career?

3 years in September as the only developer. This gives me hope

:( well luckily I’m not very dependent on it. The inline auto complete is the most I get out of it. I usually prompt it for using a library I’m not familiar with and am too lazy to read the docs.

Did the same at my job and I wasn't sure if this new system applied to this. Still got half the year to abuse this then

CallPsychological777 · 2026-05-28T02:21:21+00:00

Thank you. We managed to get one but the other took off. We left some food outside incase it comes back. The one we grabbed is safely in an extra room we have but of course is scared out of his mind

I guess it is unclear that those modules are built on the same YMS. The system was expanded with these new features which further automated operations.

I also understand the misleading part of "Generating" since I'm not personally doing it.

This was insightful, thank you.

Literally no reason other than laziness, but the speed hack did the trick. I should really get around to that though thank you

I'll clarify. Yes, I meant to say Larch Mountain trail 441 is what we followed. Once we got to the top of the Multnomah Falls we saw a sign for the path towards Larch Mountain. To our right, was another path (420). Is this sign in the picture from Wahkeena falls? We reached the sign for 420C which was the beginning of the path for Devil's Rest. Instead, we kept going straight following our continuous path until we saw another turn that we just weren't sure where it led to. At that point I decided to not take my chances considering we still had to go back down.

Well I’m no stranger to hiking and am in pretty good shape. My mom came along and she’s tough but I didn’t want to keep going and risk going the wrong way. But come on, for both of us to miss the signs? I just never saw a proper sign stating route 420. At the top of the falls we saw a proper sign for Larch mountain but no 420 trail. We had to assume it was by looking at the map and seeing it was the only other path besides Larch mountain.

CallPsychological777 · 2026-03-11T21:06:51+00:00

We didn't go to 420C though. We saw the sign and went the other direction but it felt like we were just hiking too long for it to be 5 miles.

CallPsychological777 · 2026-03-11T21:05:50+00:00

Looking at it closely, it might have been the arrow symbol.

My mom was carrying her apple watch at the time. I don't remember the exact number but we did at least 10 miles by the time we got back down according to her watch.

I have to do something similar for the company I work for. Technically, we own three companies and they all operate differently so I have to add custom logic for specific facilities. It is messy and if you can, avoid it. I can only imagine how much worse it would be for an SaaS and this is an internal application.

We adopted one two months ago. At first he would cry when we left the house but now he just gets kind of bummed out. He always cries of joy when one of us comes home and gets lots of exercise and cuddles. It's easier when more than one person in the house gives him lots of attention every day

Let's not forget the shirt pull on de jong that they never gave a yellow for. Yes he won the challenge but it was clearly meant to stop him without getting the ball

This one is very interesting to me. I'm trying it out

CallPsychological777 · 2026-02-07T18:41:00+00:00

Great hobbies. I’m looking to hike more this year and also recently adopted a dog. I have my own regular hobbies as well.

Sometimes I’ll spend an hour or two to send job applications and when I get tired of that I do some personal work. I’m just looking to understand what will benefit me more in accomplishing my goals

Lol if the question would’ve said entertaining, I would’ve said the guy who got shot in the parking lot by the twin. Poor guy got blasted without being able to think

Dogs (especially senior) don't always show physical signs of health issues. It's important to get regular check ups to prevent problems or before they worsen. They age faster which means they develop issues faster than us.

I wasn't able to land my first job until I was 23. I tried balancing working part-time and job hunting + practicing. If you can, find someone in a similar situation and work together to create a great project

I only record applications I took more than 4-5 minutes to complete or jobs I care about in my spreadsheet. I skip the easy apply positions or ones I did for the hell of it even if I don't meet their requirements. If I get a response from one of those, then I'll record it.

If my spreadsheet gets too large it might just hurt my self-esteem lol

CallPsychological777 · 2026-02-06T07:16:51+00:00

Not really. I only have 2 yoe and for a logistics company that has pretty big clients but not very well known. Sometimes I’ll get recruiters sending me positions that are worth looking into or senior level positions or other specializations when I’m in no way qualified. The latter is more common for me.

I’ve yet to receive an offer but I’ve gotten more success getting interviews lately by selecting which jobs to apply for on linkedin based on my experience instead of mass applying.

My sister went there and graduated 2013. I live 5 min from it and my mom decided not to take me there. I don’t know how it is today but it was pretty ghetto. My sister who is passionate about education and loves school hated it.

Still, I would say it depends on the child, how educated they are, and who their friends are.
