What is one test you guys would use to determine if a dev is worthless or not? Some kind of challenge.
I'm just looking for a way to prove myself
I've been programming for nearly 4 years, in case it is valuable information
Estou com medo de pedir um e ser mandado embora. Como podem ver esta muito dificil achar um emprego, especialmente pra alguem como eu que nao tenho certificado/diploma.
Esse trampo atual meu foi o meu primeiro quando tinha 16 ha uns 2 anos atras. Estou como anonimo (famoso bico, sem PJ sem CLT) e ganhando R$ 1000 por mes, 8 horas p/dia.
Sou um dev bem ruim e amador, mas meu codigo vai pra PROD, e meu ritmo de entregar tasks nao eh assim tao ruim comparado com outros colegas.
Preciso de mais dinheiro pra comprar meus remedios (principalmente de psiquiatria) que sao bem carinhos. Mas meu saldo vem se esgotando nos ultimos meses e agora tenho o suficiente apenas pra esse mes e depois nao tenho muito o que fazer.
O que deveria fazer? Arrisco ou nao?
This post is aimed mostly at beginners like me, except that I've been at it for 4 years, and still don't feel like I got the grasp of things.
Bottom Line: these days I found a really good program: Sunshine, and I loved it to death. They have 34k stars on Github and it's mostly related to networking. I've been picking up networking programming in C lately and I can't ever imagining myself being able to build something as good as that, that can transfer video data so perfectly.
The only programs I can build without bugs or that doesn't end up being a disaster are super simple ones.
The only program I've ever build that is big and "useful" was three years ago when I wrote a crappy file transfer program with C. It's buggy as hell, the code is messy and hard to understand and it barely works; it's held together by god and tape.
Also, at my workplace, I'm the worst dev, earn the least between all my coworkers, and I'm the only one without a degree. The only reason why I managed to get in was because I was 16 back then and they wanted a young dev that knew how to do some C#.
These past ~1.5 years I've quit programming hard due to being busy with C# at work and mental health stuff that I began fixing this year. I've gotten back lately and I'm looking up to learning much more intensively now that I'm finally feeling better, including trying to go back and rebuild that file-transfer program I wrote 3 years back. And then see if this feeling of "never writing anything big or useful" goes away.
TL;DR: DAE feel the way I feel? Like they will never be more than a code monkey despite being programming for quite some time?
