Life with Las B...

Last year, I was bemoaning my fate on if I'm even a good enough software developer. There was this guy I was interning with and my goodness Lord, I wanted to quit every single day. My mental health was in shambles. And truthfully, he was a better developer than I was but his attitude was shitty. So when the internship was about to end and they said they would be retaining only one person, I already concluded I'd be let go cos he was obviously better. So I started looking for other gigs on time. But guess what, I was the one retained. I literally even told them that I had another role so I wouldn't be dedicating 100% and they told me that's fine, we just want you on our team. It's really then that I understood the importance of attitude at work. Cos that guy was annoying to everyone. He was nitpicking both the designers oo, fellow frontend people and even backend guys. Smh. Anyways, I'm glad I stayed back cos now I'm learning flutter for mobile development an

I was watching House MD, a Hollywood medical series and it dawned on me on why older series seem so much better than recent movies. Apart from the actors being into the roles, characters were allowed to have flaws in older series. Like this House MD, the male lead has no filter, one other guy has a superiority complex going on, the female lead is self righteous, and the other guy is quite selfish. These make their behaviours unique and realistic. Unlike these days where the characters have to be liberal and should say "all the right woke things." Which rids the individuality and complexity of different characters. I'm certain that House MD series would have been cancelled if it was aired these days but it ran for 8 seasons from 2004-2012. Really surprised I didn't know about it prior to now.
