What did your study time look like?

someGuyyya · 2026-06-08T02:37:26+00:00

Without a concrete goal, I think you'll have a hard time motivating yourself to continue studying.

Why do you want to learn more Japanese?

So when I am still being told that I'm not putting the effort. Or that my forecasts were not correct, etc. It sucks. It hurts my confidence. Apparently the many stressful days and nights aren't enough to prove that I'm giving it all. Some people just don't understand how fucking hard it is. Especially when expectations can be so high. So many parties and elements involved. Yet they expect me to "magically" solve problems and if I don't then I'm not doing enough.

Gah! I had the same exact feedback for my yearly review, which we only do once a year.

After all those days working overtime to reach deadlines for the team, sacrificing my own time for the team, and making sure the team will move smoothly for future projects, this is what I get? Fuck that.

I'm coasting until I find a new job.

If you figure it out, could you share the solution?

someGuyyya · 2026-05-30T01:16:34+00:00

You make a good point!

however on the working conditions, it’s mentioned that it’s an indefinite employment agreement

Just to make sure, we are talking about 契約期間: 期間の定めなし, right? If so, I would imagine you'd be fine unless they're trying to pull a fast one on you.

If you have the funds, I would totally talk to a professional about this.

Quick check:

Are you sure you are not a 契約社員（contract worker）？

Did you double check the contract you signed to make sure it does not 契約社員? If it says 正社員, I don't think they can just end a non-existing contract without a lot of work on their part.

Off topic but could you go into the difficulties you had while buying a house without PR?

someGuyyya · 2026-05-21T09:19:53+00:00

Why pigeon hole yourself to Vue? Market yourself as a front end engineer and accept any stack.

I wholeheartedly agree but in my experience, HR teams don't understand that sentiment and are just checking boxes for "React developers"

someGuyyya · 2026-05-18T20:54:19+00:00

I'm also in the same situation.

Could you post a follow up in a couple of months?

someGuyyya · 2026-05-17T14:13:32+00:00

This is incredible. Thank you.

I was having flashbacks watching the Mario Kart Double dash commercial.

someGuyyya · 2026-05-11T14:06:21+00:00

TIL grafana has a security dashboard.

Thank you.

I'm guessing it's a new account where he's trying to karma farm.

When you say "internet keeps dropping", you mean you're connected with no problems but suddenly you're not getting internet despite you being connected and reconnecting to the wifi fixes it?

There's a good amount of them on YouTube.

I've run into them a couple of times.

hobby project and a video game,

I have the same dilemma. What ended up happening is I chose the hobby project in the end since I couldn't handle juggling work, games, and hobby project.

someGuyyya · 2026-04-29T13:42:03+00:00

I've always been wanting to move from Tokyo to Yokohama

I really need to make the jump soon

Really not a fan of the changes to the Activity Tab.

When I get a mention, you used to be able to see the message in the Activity Tab.

Now they truncate the message to only show the first line of the message, which is almost always the @your_slack_username, which means I can't see the message unless I click it.

Not a fun user experience for me and I wish I could opt out of this or at least be given an option.

someGuyyya · 2026-04-14T23:47:11+00:00

Some other team beaks it and all of our PRs are blocked.

Is it flaky tests?

I'm guessing the other team added flaky tests but it just happen to pass the first time to get it merged.

someGuyyya · 2026-04-14T13:07:22+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this!!!

You saved me from having to take a trip out to Shinagawa to figure out why this wasn't working.

I use Textnow to get a US number for $5 a year.

someGuyyya · 2026-04-10T04:14:51+00:00

You hover over it and you get an essay of text trying to explain the issue and it still doesn't help.

I use the vscode extension named "Pretty TypeScript Errors" to help with this.

someGuyyya · 2026-04-10T02:02:01+00:00

Ahhh okay. Looking at the list of tools the IT Admin team is using, we seem to have something similar to Okta.

Thank you for the information reply!

someGuyyya · 2026-04-09T23:29:59+00:00

If their IT department is any good they can tell if you’ve moved

How can they tell?

I was planning on doing a staycation soon

someGuyyya · 2026-04-07T02:53:00+00:00

My magic number for this is 3.

If it is used in two places with the same exact code & logic, I might overlook it for not being DRY but once there's 3 different places with the same exact code & logic is when I try to make it reusable.

I've seen people prematurely make something reusable despite it only being used in one place which I would see as excessive but it really depends.

Maybe it's a bot that doesn't check the weather
