Really nice article, except for the work time section. Can we start to agree that overtime should not be normal? (To be fair, I don’t work in an industry with actual emergencies. There’s always tomorrow or next week. So maybe I’m missing perspective here.)
Well that, and the being laid off. At my (unionized, European) company it’s usually the longer you’ve been with the company, the more secure your job is.
@Mad_Punda it’s funny because the name “overtime” loses meaning when it becomes normal. I hereby propose the name “overovertime” (I’m good at names that’s why I’m a great programmer)
I don’t think anybody ever believed any of those things.
I sure didn’t. And now that I’m a senior dev, I was right 😬

I hate popovers. This one not only covers the whole screen, it opens the virtual keyboard because of auto focus. So people actually subscribe like that? I don’t. I leave.
This is a fantastic article. As a junior dev myself, I find that I share some of these misconceptions about our Senior Devs (who seemingly know everything when I ask them a question haha). Thanks for posting.
LAUGHS IN PRINCIPAL
You all disgust me.
No one cares
As Principal, teaching Juniors should be like handing out a boon from your deity of choice. “Here, young one. Here is what you do, and why. Have an easily consumed meme to easily illustrate the concept.” Then you return to the ether, to watch with benevolent eyes.
