I graduated this winter and i got a full time position from my previous student job.
I have to be honest, its fking boring...
Only time i am having fun programming is when i am working on my own small projects, not at my job...
Hi everyone.
I always find myself spending hours manually constructing test cases + i have to maintain them constantly when i make changes to the backend. What is your normal flow for creating api test? Do you write them manually or give it to ai? Do you even find api testing valuable?
Hello.
I am starting to get annoyed over all these tools that i use.
i usually use all these simultaneously:
- Postman
- Dbeaver
- some kind of db migration system depending on framework
- docker
- Github
- then we have non code stuff like linear, jira etc
And for production environments at my job we use like a million different tools that are quite expensive.
Do you know any tools that merge some of these things together ?

Hello everybody.
I am requesting advice regarding how to handle equity ownership in our startup. We are 4 people working on this project and my friend and i are the developers. Then we have the 2 other people who are working on business, branding, marketing etc. basicly they are the business part of it and how we can monetise it, design etc. They essentially are the idea and the vision behind it. What i am
For context:
My friend and i ( developers ) met these 2 last summer and they were looking for someone to actually create this app they wanted to build. When we met we were all students and us developers choose to spend our bachelor project creating an MVP for this idea, which we did. Throughout our project, we also published the app, build the infrastructure to actually support a production level application.
When we finished our bachelor, we agreed to keep working together with them on this project, because we both really like working together and are motivated to do so. We both had to get full time jobs and now we do not have as much time to work on the project. ( we still spend some hours a week ) We all agreed that if it were possible, we would do this full time.
For the 2 others, they also had the opportunity to work with this project via their studies and they just graduated. Now they are working part time jobs ( which they had before also ). The point here is that they have much more time to actually work on this project than we do.
Now here is the thing. We had a meeting about equity ownership and they "offered" us 12,5% each. So us developers would own 25% total, they would own 75% together.
Their arguments was: ( i am trying to be 100% non biased here )
* It was their idea, their vision and they felt they had more right to ownership
* At this current state where we are working full time and they have more time, they are putting more effort into this project
* Generally they felt they have more responsibility
This was their general arguments for this distribution.
The idea i had in my head was to actually split it 25% each, and create some kind of vesting strategy, where we could potentially redistribute equity if needed.
After this meeting we agreed to get some kind of third party person into this conversation, since we all are not very experienced with these kinds of things.
My reaction to this was slightly negative, because i was not expecting them to "offer" 12,5%, more something like atleast 20%.
I would love to hear what your experiences are with how to figure out these things.
TLDR:
Me and my developer pal were "offered" 12,5% each in the equity share and the 2 other business guys take the rest. And i am requesting advice about how to share it in a fair way.
