Anybody else take a break for a weekm and come back to their job and immediately feel like "fukk this this shyt"? Does this mean I'm past burnout and just over the job? Wondering from brehs who have been in the same situation
Maybe you've outgrown THAT job. Time to talk to your manager about a promotion or just new position.

But sometimes you see the light and know whatever that is, ain't it.

Is anyone here even remotely interested in backend and low level details? Its like every post I see here discussing software involves mostly frontend stuff and stitching together some APIs.
I'm mainly backend. Front end is a hassle to me, and I prefer not to touch it until all the code for the repeatable components are made

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
Finally finished building my first software application :snoop: I had to figure out how to add custom ico files to the .exe, window title bar etc.

Instead of trying to create a custom logo, I took the lazy route. I found a unique font, installed it into word, used one big ass letter and turned it into an icon :manny:

I downloaded Inno Setup Compiler so I can create an install package, but I'm going to wait. I'm creating a paid version of this, plus I got 5 other project builds, not including the website. I'm going to build one more project (2 depending on how fast I can complete the next one), then form an LLC.

Building software is definitely more intricate than building a website. My struggle tech startup is loosely in the data security space which I knew nothing about before I started. The hardest part of this first build was experimenting with different tech stacks that work. Golang + Wails + Svelte was the best one so far. Golang performs almost as good as C++ and Wails + Svelte allows you to create modern UI. And Svelte is super lightweight. When I used Python to build a less complex app, it was like 400 mb. This app is only 40 mb.

Making my first simple CRUD node.js app through a YouTube tutorial during down time at work.

I did PHP and Java casually so I'm already familiar

Almost done, and then going to work on my own projects

Been working all weekend on an example Android project. The book is kind of outdated but after googling finally got it to run

I'm going to pivot and ask my job to let me be a programmer

Going to make make a mobile ticketing system and/or just a mobile safe site of what we already have

Nice. Thinking about where to host it?

I've experienced this before, either due to boredom, risking burnout, and/or wanting to get a pay bump without jumping through hoops to get promoted. It usually means it's time for me to move on because I'm over the job.

I've been wrestling with feeling pretty meh about my current role and I have a feeling when I get back from the week off I have coming up, I'm going to have that same "fukk this" feeling. My current job recently gave me a little extra motivation to stop ignoring that feeling and start applying for other roles, so that's what I've started doing

Are you using React Native? Or are you using Swift/Kotlin for the mobile apps?
