  1. If you learn because you are curious, continue. If you learn because of fear, stop - that's FOMO - and re-assess your priorities.

  2. When dealing with idiots, you have to be diplomatic, especially if the idiots wield a lot of power over you and pretend you're bending into their dogma. Of course, this can backfire and when the shit hits the fan YOU will be the one getting fired, because they will never take the blame, but that's another story :)

  3. 4:00 They are doing this in IT as well. You think you're gonna be a developer, but no, you have to do automation, architecture and product management, of course none of this is specified in the job description, so basically this is lying through omission. 7:51 That is a straight up scam. 13:37 - This is a freebie. They tell you to solve a problem for them, for free. Don't accept this nonsense :) There is better usage of your time. 16:00 - I'd be willing to accept this for a good piece of your business, as your partner. Definitely not as an employee, nor contractor. I like risk, but I also like reward, and I'm not gonna be anybody's slave. 19:50 - This one takes the cake. You'd be getting the same pay flipping burgers at McDonald's.

  4. Estimates are a hoax, as the creators of Agile said themselves. Story points are not efficient, hourly estimations are even worse for project milestones. They are only efficient for very short term work and should never be sold to the client as "commitment" (managers get a hard on for this word). The best thing (and the realistic thing) to do is to guess the time, start working, and keep a close eye on things. Unless the thing to do is something you've done a couple of times already, and you already have an "average" in your head of how much effort and time is required for you to do it, your estimates will never be reliable.

  5. This is like gold Olympic medal mental gymnastics level.

  6. 7:50 - Method split is not getting enough love even today. Too bad, because it's one of the best refactorings to improve readability, clarity and add more context and meaning to your code. Instead, I see engineers prefer to leave multi-line comments instead of refactoring their code...

  7. By "cultural ambasador" you actually want to say "propaganda instrument" :)
