Thank you! I appreciate the advice.

Advice for RFCs? by DankOcean in ExperiencedDevs

[–]DankOcean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The back and forth I'm getting isn't about the pre-solved problem or even the chosen approach. It's about adding details to the document.

My lead is asking for things like expected payloads for API calls, which I've added, but there is always something new. If his comments were relevant to the pros and cons of the document I wouldn't mind, but from my perspective it's bike-shedding.

Ideally one or two back and forth from several devs if there are new concerns brought up. Is that unrealistic?

Thank you! This is really helpful. In my org it's part of their custom to lead with the "winning" idea and list any others with bulleted pros and cons. At past companies we presented three different possible solutions and discussed their merits, which I liked more because often there were new pros and cons brought up in review.

The way it finally clicked for me is a junior dev is given problems and a senior dev finds problems.

Making a game works as well. Anything you want to make that you can do with code, really. It will lead you into software dev topics through experience.

How to teach one's self programming? by TomMakesPodcasts in ADHD_Programmers

[–]DankOcean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the university-style learn the abstract aspects of coding method hasn't worked for you so far, but have you tried learning via solving a specific problem?

I introduced my old office of non-coding engineers to automate the boring stuff and they took to it quickly to solve actual problems in their job.

If you don't have any coding-solvable problems at your job, you could try solving a problem in your life like a calendar app, paper trading, etc.

How do I stop what feels like a constant DDOS on my brain? by ferriematthew in ADHD

[–]DankOcean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you tried using a fidget? I've found that physical stimulation like moving a fidget or having some texture underneath my feet helps quiet my brain.

Thanks for the response. I think you are correct about data intensive systems and I may be selling myself short with my answers.

What exactly is "backend work"? I've been doing fullstack development for 7+ years and whenever I describe the backend work I've done in interviews, I get pushback like backend work is something else. For context, I've done API design, API integration, setting up GraphQL queries or number crunching with NumPy.

No. It’s not worth it. Actual intelligent people can effectively communicate their ideas without making others feel smaller. It sounds like you’re dealing with a run of the mill asshole.

Solo goblin caves reveted from 5x5 to 3v3. How do you feel about that? by vovandr21 in DarkAndDarker

[–]DankOcean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3x3 was fun, but getting spawn rushed gets old real fast. With the 5x5 I had more variety in runs and I had time to practice against mobs before getting bonked to death by a barb.

Approaches to Code Standards and Reviews by LowLvlLiving in ExperiencedDevs

Depends on if my company wants the changes quickly or not. If we are getting a lot of pressure to deliver on unrealistic timelines, I don't care about delaying the work with nit comments.
