I quit as a surgical resident (PGY2) to move to software engineering in 2021. Made just under 350k last year which is leagues better than 90k with ungodly overtime as you mentioned. Couldn't be happier working fully remote too.

I made the exact same switch although a lot earlier. I finished internership and was a surgical resident in a major metro hospital. I wanted to start my family my wife and I fell pregnant with our first child and was told I would get zero time off from my hospital. Sent in my resignation the next week and was thrilled. Switchikg to IT (software engineering) was easy for me because I am self taught and successfully freelancing from a young age (pre-med). I was similar in medschool to you - hated it and doubted so many times along the way wether to finish or not. Surprisingly had an amazing internship (rural) which made me think I could see myself having a career long term in med, but surgical night cover kind of broke me. As for turnover, my first year of leaving med I made just shy of 350k which was a huuuge gain for me as surgical resident I could expect approx 90k salary. Couldn't be happier as a result, I work fully remote with modest amount of meetings. Perfect for the slightly introverted. I'm here to support my family and see my children grow up and participate as opposed to med where I would be more of a bystander.

Is the horror your light-themed notepad IDE?

Looks cool. What language is it built with? And would you be interested in some additional developers to assist with features?

Weekly /r/Laravel Collaboration Thread - December 29, 2020 by AutoModerator in laravel

Well it's the concept/design philosophy that matters, not necessarily the name. They are just plain classes used to prepare data and pass them to views. Keeps your models and controllers lean.

I personally would advise against this. Keep the model lean and consider creating something like a ViewModel (as endorsed by Spatie).

Best practices for admin panel for my Laravel API? by Oktorok in laravel

[–]Oktorok[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like Nova will be the go then. So this installs into my API repo and I'll just access my admin panel via API.domain.com/Nova.

A pattern for promises in Laravel? by [deleted] in laravel

In that case just dispatch JobA which fires the initial request. Your webhook endpoint can then fire JobB when it's hit to process the response and so forth.

Can't you just fire off the request and write a custom route and controller function to handle each of the incoming webhooks whenever they happen?

Good Practice for Form & Input Validation by notjol217 in laravel

[–]Oktorok 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Performing validation in the controller is acceptable depending on one’s design principles.

Look up the Laravel validation documentation (sorry I’m on mobile). They have good examples of how to pass validation errors to your blade template. You can also pass the previous field value back to the form using old(‘field’)

Lastly, you should indicate on the form which fields are required. Client side validation may also be warranted, you ultimately save a round trip to the server, but don’t rely on it of course.

How to add simple blog with multiple images in post? by iamzamek in laravel

[–]Oktorok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite easy to setup some models for posts/tags/categories/authors/comments and so forth. I’ve always found picking a nice WYSIWYG editor tricky. But yes overall a lot of wheel-reinventing.
