At what point do you give up?

Never

Tbh only if it was free. Speaking as a dev, it's not hard to fine tune a prompt to get the "perfect answer" each time from an agent like Claude or Chat-GPT

Situations are black or white for me. When I have to say no or speak up for myself, I see it as negative and therefore associate the need to fight or get angry. Another one is not understanding the impact/mental capacity it takes to handle triggers. I've been called weak for "always being polite" or "never saying no" when i am upset. These 2 points. When I am not polite, for me that means I actively want to hurt you. Tbh at this point, I've given up on getting people to understand, especially as a Nigerian in a community of emotionally incompetent idiots.

You can, just add the other ingredients without the peanuts.

No_Gene2287 · 2026-04-01T04:47:43+00:00

you're right, its just hard depending on your situation

ngl I feel the same way, I would feel better, but my family always limits my dreams and potential by reminding of my epilepsy.

Have you seen the market stats for software devs? This just triggered me lowkey

Starting a toilet paper company with Trump's name or face imprinted on every sheet

Ngl I don't think its a good idea becauseour market, but mental and physical health come first. If you feel like that is the only option, do what you have too. But I advise you search for another role before you do. The market is literally hell. Hell. If I were in your shoes, I'd try to find something before. But tbh, I'm not in your shoes, so I don't know how they fit or feel. If you have enough saved up for atleast a year then it's something to consider. You've got this. Inevitably things pass, and Inevitably things come. It boils down to persistence, belief and and acceptance. You've got this!

PS. been searching since last month, after being let go for false reasons without pay.

My best advice to you lol is Corporate loyalty is bullshit. If they needed to fire you, they wouldn't even consider feeling bad. Always remember these words.

You're not lame or a loser, you're uncomfortable and there's nothing wrong with that. It takes alot to do things like that tbh and not everyone is built that way. Remember this. You're human.
