Nice, The UI is really great..!!

Love the game and the UI is amazing..!!!

is it open sourced ?

I have tried this approach of finding problems and solved them.

I have done a massive code cleanup, abstracting out huge code that made it extremely readable and maintainable etc but such problems are never a problem to the upper management. For them these are red flags and a pain that they fear will cause regression and extra efforts to every other team.

So it entirely depends on the area that you solve the problem.

Also, it depends on the organization that you are working with. Especially the WITCH one's rarely care for code quality.

The app is designed very well and it is very addictive.

Me too with 15+ web dev experience. Always wanted to get into game dev. Your post motivates me. I wish you all the best.

I have started working on a SaaS for Doctors. It is basically a patient management system where Doctor's can get complete picture of their patients like visit history, diagnosis, medications suggested, billing etc. I am using Nest.js for backend and Next.js for frontend (Shadcn UI Library)

Side Note : These posts on HN motivated me to start working on this project. Cheers! to the community.

Rightly said.

I spent good amount of time cleaning up 15 year old codebase and removed almost 10MB of source code files which was being part of production build and it was never used. This helped reduce the build time.

I thought I'd get appreciated from everyone in the team, but it was never acknowledged. In fact my PM was warried and raised an alarm for regression. Even though I was 100% confident that there would not be any regression, the QA and PM got annoyed that I touched a working software and they had to do extra work.

I then posted on LinkedIn about this achievement to get my share of appreciation. :)

It really sucks to feel so undervalued. I have been working with WITCH company and the entire promotion leveling is based on favoritism. With this 90 days of Notice Period, it is nearly impossible to get through even first round of interview. Every day is a struggle to prove yourself to the handicapped managers and self doubt whether you are even worth something to leave this job and try something else. 10 years and each day is a painful struggle.

Thank you. Noted. Your comment made me feel relaxed.

Thank you, you are right. Instead of being stressed about it, I should rather ignore it.

A sudden change in the tone is obviously noticeable. You can feel it when some one else is being called by their first name and you are being addressed as Sir.

Best : My manager who appreciates everyone's time. He puts in efforts to immediately reply to anyone, takes quick decisions and acknowledges quite often. If anyone is dependent on you, unblock them immediately.

Worst : Many of the co-workers/ department heads etc. etc. have moved ranks above me exponentially and yes because of their hard work. Congratulations to them. But sometimes if I have to reach out to them or they need to reach out to me, they address me as "Sir". "Hello Sir, How are you Sir?" I feel terrible and I feel like they are mocking me for being a looser for not having achieved as much as they have.

I too am in the same boat. I do not have people skills, I am shy and introverted. I am considered as a non lead material since my manager thinks that I am very soft spoken and so I am told I need to be aggressive. I don't even know what the solution is. With 12 years of experience, I am in the same band as a 7yrs experience colleague.

What am I doing to overcome this situation? - I have clearly understood and made up my mind that I cannot be a PM. - However, to stay in the job I always have to prove my technical skills. - I am trying to get into competitive programming which I discovered recently and my aim for 2021 is to at least solve one codeforces round - I started enjoying Flutter and I also did 30 days of live streaming on youtube (Just screenshare with music). - I have a mobile app idea that I plan to work in coming days. - I try to write 1k words per day

During work hours, I try not to think about hobbies and concentrate on finishing my work. However, during free time, I fire up my personal laptop and start focusing on my hobbies.
