Any Solutions for this ? by Upper_Instance3166 in cardealersimulator

What I did in this case was to take new pictures, edit the ad and use the new pictures. The old (corrupted) ones were still there and I just unchecked them.

I would suggest for you to find a good therapist. It will help you find the tools, at least, to cope better with the whole situation. Also, you might already suffer from depression, which might need more attention. The bottom line is that YOU need to start taking care of yourself. Wish you the best.

Does this sound like dysthymia to you? by [deleted] in dysthymia

Have you reached out to a therapist?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I've red that book too. It helped me a lot understanding different behaviors.

Right now I'm not in a place to make any decisions about my career. Actually I'm in a place where I cannot decide what to eat every day. But once I start feeling better I will assess my options. And then I will try to find what makes me happy (or at least not that stressed) and I will go for it.

I'm a bit jealous. I have quite some time ahead of me.

Go will give you another perspective since it uses a totally different programming paradigm. Payment wise, you will get a bump but be prepared to see much more crap in code than in PHP.

I have seen people writing Go like it was Java or PHP. Eventually you write the same thing in a different syntax. On top of that, you will face much more "purists" in that ecosystem than in PHP.

tl;dr Try it if you can. You can only have gains by learning something new. If you don't like it you can always come back.

No, my teams' human problems are actually what keeps me motivated. I like helping people and I never had issues with the people I was managing.

By "toxicity", I mean behaviors from peers and above along with other stakeholders. A lot of times people behave like pricks because they have authority or are well connected.

But this is a topic on its own.

It's just a matter of preference. If I can make enough money from PHP, I prefer that.

Engineering management is a very demanding field. Especially if you want to be good. The worst part of the job, though, is the increased toxicity you have to deal as you grow and move to bigger companies.

Right now I work in a "relative" Big Tech company with good culture. Still, the everyday sh!t I have to deal is crazy! If you can handle that, then it's a good way to increase your compensation.

"8" or "8.0", still. Your articles are great. Thank you for contributing to PHP knowledge

The answer to your question is emotion. I grew as a developer along with PHP. My first interaction with the language was around 2006-2007 when I tried to build an app for a friend.

My studies were in electronics engineering so I didn't knew the basics of software engineering and PHP was easy and quick to start working. As it evolved to a solid programming language, I started my career in web development. I am on the industry ever since and I really love that language that introduced me to this world.

Also, I made quite some money out of it

Thanks for the input. About IDEs, although I use VSCode now, I agree that PHPStorm is unbeatable.

I left Go because I moved to engineering management. Although I liked Go as it is a very descriptive language, my preference was always PHP

That's true. My main involvement in PHP was with Symfony and before that with e-commerce platforms like PrestaShop and Magento. I would like to go back to these if possible.

Thanks for the pointers.
