  • Eh, not sure if this is true at all. I think the reality is that niche specialized roles are valuable (frontend expert) but you are not “hacking” your way in full stack unless you are a junior or just bad at development.

    I don’t consider myself to be hacking anything I do, even things I’m not as strong in (ci cd) I pay full attention to documentation and examples before blinding coding or writing ci scripts

    I think I have strong mindfulness, I actively do not think about work or things like “what ifs” by forcing myself not to

    I always try to remember that doing something is rewarding even if the anxiety makes you scared of doing it. My self talk works for me and it might not work for you but I think to myself “wtf are you going to do all day if you don’t do the thing you wanted to do”.

    So in summary: practice mindfulness, find a way to self talk and support yourself, remember when you were anxious but tried something and enjoyed it

    I have anxiety and have always had it and my entire childhood was a catastrophe but we are good now. The good news is that I can cope with it (no fs given no matter the circumstance) and for the most part it works out because I’m passionate about my work.

    However I have worked with ppl who cannot manage their anxiety and stress and I consider myself very lucky to not be in their situation. Those guys are troopers.




  • I speak Spanish, I have a fairly basic level of fluency but don’t live there. People understand me and I can hold conversations but they call me gringo and they are not “nice” or welcoming about it.

    I have very little attachments to where I’m from so that was the last straw for me. I don’t identify culturally with where I’m from anymore.
