Hey! So I’m 23 yo, I’ve been studying Java for some time, doing backend projects on Spring Boot and etc. But it really exhausts me. I realized I hate tons of config files with random ass libraries, magic @Annotations, trying to boot a project with Docker… and stuff like that instead of writing actual logic. And because of that I can’t make myself sit and really learn stuff. I take pauses for months all the time and can get shit done. I only really enjoy writing the logic behind API itself, which feels like only 5% of the project, and the other ones is writing boring tests, trying to figure out how Spring Boot works with their endless annotations, some boilerplate configuration code..: Idk, maybe it’s my adhd, or maybe I’m just stupid.

Sooo, of course I had thoughts that programming could be just not for me (though I’m a CS graduate lmao). But maybe I just need to try something else? I really like making game logic (except for the dealing with UI of the game engines, all that 3D models, animations, lightning and stuff). My favourite thing to program was always SAMP servers or Minecraft plugins with custom rules, making commands and etc…

So I was wondering, what field should I try? I was thinking about embedded or CLI development? Do you think it would fit me better, or should I just quit programming :D

Thanks guys.

Hey!
If you are from Toronto, ON, play guitar and like Type O Negative, Strange Boutique, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, or any other gothic, slow, doomy (Crowbar counts!!!), lush and ambient stuff - join us. We are looking for someone with similar taste who can commit to weekly rehearsals, learn our material, and gig with us. If you wish, you can contribute to our new songs as well. Not necessary though, if you just enjoy playing your instrument!

About us:
We are a band "Till Death and After" (До смерті і довше in Ukrainian) from Ukraine, that moved to Toronto. We started in 2022 by playing post-punk, and quickly gained some listeners (currently 3k per month, since our songs got to an editorial playlist, but usually we have around 1k).
As we grew, we experimented with grunge and shoegaze elements, and we're still releasing our old stuff that is a bit punky and grungy, I'd say. But we decided to continue with a goth sound, which is a natural evolution of our post-punk style.
By that we mean effects, riffs, melodies of that genre, not necessarily spooky edgy songs about vampires 😄.
We are planning to translate a few songs into English and try to gig here with our stuff.

Our most popular old song (that's not how we sound now) is featured in the STALKER video (we can't tell what it means, but you know what it means), and a few got to Ukrainian radio (didn't change anything, but still cool lol).
