I will be a liar if I say I can't relate to any of this😂
The last time I checked, TECH almost took my life 😂 (on a low key though)
The sleepless nights, the eye aches, fixing your eyes on your screen for not less than 12 hours every day. It is always crazy trust me and I am sure you know it as a senior dev you are lol.
And ALX? God knows, nothing under this face of earth would push me to join, not even money. I love to gain knowledge and skill no doubt but not at the detriment of my own soul😂💔
ALX program is a suicide mission lol, and I am not ready to take part in that mission. I have a lot of friends from my last program cohort who are doing ALX and every day they complain about the stress and workload some of them on the verge of giving up and dropping out.
We don't even wanna talk about the deadlines you have to meet for a particular task. We used to have these crazy deadlines also to meet in the Zuri program I did.
Fullstack is no bloody joke to anyone, having 5-6 tasks every week with crazy deadlines is no joke.
At a point, I wanted to switch to just frontend but it was already too late so I had to juggle between frontend and backend languages and God knows at some point I got lost in Python and its framework Django. I was only just hoping and praying to finish the course that's all.
And like you said, that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger this was my thought as well and I vowed I was gonna finish the program no matter how tough it was.
I haven't slept for longer than four hours in a row in a very long time. Even my parents have complained that they seldom ever get to see me sleep because I am always working on my schoolwork at night. Think about your parents pleading with you not to study 😂🤣. They genuinely care about my health and don't want me to become ill or shut down.
It's my mom that used to pity me sha. What have I not suffered because of tech? The days I have to go around with my PC looking for power supply cause you have to attend classes, meetings and meet deadlines for tasks lol.
Omor, I leave tech for you guys abeg, no be my life tech go take abeg lol. The program was fun while it lasted even with all the stress, headaches, burning of data, frustrations, depression and sleepless nights lol.
Snr Dev @starstrings01 I hail you o😁😂 you see ALX? The lord is your muscles o. I wish you all the best. I see you doing great things and achieving everything you have in mind to achieve dear, after all, your hands are gifted. Good luck with your tech dreams dear.
