    Today I had a talk with my boss. Apparently I’m not a good enough programmer to handle tasks alone and they don’t want to keep me around to learn the languages they want.

    He said, maybe if we find a project for you that you could handle. Then we won’t fire you.

    I’m just so done … I knew that i just started and it’s my first job and I don’t have much experience but I was hopeful that they wanted to teach me stuff. Now it doesn’t look like it anymore. I don’t know what to do. Who would take someone who got fired after not even a year?

      Ouch. It can be tough as a junior developer.

      My advice is to keep asking questions when you get stuck.

      As a senior dev, I don’t go out of my way to teach people, but it’s extremely gratifying when people come to me for advice or mentoring.

        How the fuck are you supposed to start a new job when you have little experience? Just do a YouTube tutorial? I really thought that I would get thaught in this company but apparently not…
