We are doomed # 1 // Udalenka in crisis and death of originality



Remember the article " I'm a useless fool and want to quit "? Overflowing with pain and eroding reflection, the confession of a burned out developer. The article did not work out of the blue, it has a background.

Phil and I fillpackart, its author, came to write on Habr two years ago. I got a job as a regular editor, he was my technical expert for interviews with developers. Then I had no idea how to interview, especially on topics in which I don’t bite anything at all. Therefore, I trained on it. He was never shy about expressions. I got tired of listening to why front-end vendors are ruining the industry, why he and Pkhp-Schnick will not sit at one table, and 1s-nickname is not a person at all.

Phil did not have the easiest period in his life - burnout, a one-year-old child, throwing between jobs. He poured the same semi-ironic anger on himself too. During one particularly powerful conversation, we decided that the training interview would be real.

The response was crazy, people were crazy that in an industry where everyone was publicly accustomed to being good guys and good guys, someone has eggs to say such things out loud.

For two years we wrote another dozen articles, and not one was passing. Translations into English tore up reddit to shreds, and when the text was retweeted by the creator of F # Don Syme, we opened champagne.

But a dozen and a half is very few, especially compared with the number of ideas and drafts that went to the table. And even less compared to the googleards hours of talk in which these ideas were forged.

Now the conversations will not go in vain, because Phil and I are launching a podcast. The first issue is here. In the pilot, we are modest, do not swear, do not smoke or drink, do not break into arguments and do not water everyone with slops. But this is unlikely to last long.
