I found this out because I read the Google reviews of my company.

Not gonna lie I don't wanna be a part of this malpratice thing but on other side I understand my company they need money to survive...

If you were me how would you feel?

Hello! I've had a problem doing things I genuinely love, I have a huge passion for coding and it is so fun, but I suck at it T-T. I've been trying to learn for so long but I've never actually got anything to be able to stick, I'm still only 18 so I have time. I'd love to go to college but sadly I can't drive for many reasons and also I don't want to do online, it's not something that works for me. Recently (And this could possibly get looked down upon) around 6 months ago I decided to try and teach myself with AI and honestly it has worked wonders I've learned a good bit, except I have a problem which goes to a lot of other things as well, I start something no matter how passionate I am or how fun it is, Usually if I get distracted off of it for one day or even want to just take a break its like I stop doing it entirely, I was learning python for a month then stopped, 3 months later I started learning C# and I've got it down a lot, but I had to buy a new PC cause mine broke and I tried to do it again but like I stopped for some reason. Maybe some will say "Oh well then your not passionate about it" but I genuinely love it, I just get distracted and I dont know how to fix that. I do have an Attention Deficit Disorder so I thought maybe that could be why but I dont want to make excuses.

The only thing to really keep me on it which I loved and had so much fun was friends doing similar things like my friends did 3D modeling and I started it cause I wanted to learn it eventually and put many hours into it. But they stopped and I continued for about a month then stopped, but only cause I got distracted by some other things.

In uni, we get taught tech stacks, algorithms, and writing code, but profs doesnt really talk about the actual corporate machinery that goes along with it.

I keep hearing jargony terms like Scrum Master, Sprints, Standups, Syncs, and builds, stuff you only really get exposed to once you're actually in the industry.

For those already working in tech: what are the real-world corporate processes, workflows, or unwritten rules you wish someone had explained to you while you were still in school? like the stuff that actually caught you off guard when you were first starting out?

Where can I learn Python for free? Which YouTube channel or other free platform is best for learning Python from beginner to advanced level? Please share your recommendations based on your experience.

So I have been working as a PHP developer for around 4 years now, mostly laravel and some wordpress stuff. Honestly I like the work but the pay just isn't growing. Every time I look for a new job PHP riles pay almost the same as what I am getting now and the better paying ones are all asking for node, python, java or Go.

I am in INDIA if that changes something.

Now i am confused whether I should switch to another language or just stay in PHP and try to get into a better company. I dont want to spend months learning something new and then end up starting from zero again.

Anyone here who switched from PHP after a few years? how did it go for you? did companies count your old experience or did you have to take the junior role?

Would really appreciate some honest advice.

I’m trying to understand how teams deal with N+1 queries in practice.

The pattern I mean: a page loads 20 orders and, for each one, fetches the customer on its own.

SELECT * FROM orders ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 20      -- 1 query
SELECT * FROM customers WHERE id = ?                        -- x 20

That’s 21 queries instead of 1 or 2. If each round trip is around 2 ms (an assumption), it’s about 42 ms against 2 to 4 ms with a join or a batched IN query. With 200 rows it’s 201 queries, so the cost grows with page size.

What I know so far: a join or a batched query fixes it, but a join that loads a collection multiplies rows, and combining it with pagination can force some ORMs to paginate in memory. Eager loading everywhere can also load data you don’t use.

My questions:

1. Do you assert query counts in tests, and if so with what tooling?
2. Do you rely on ORM statistics or debug logging, or on production monitoring?
3. At what point do you consider it worth fixing: any time you see it, or only after measuring?
4. Have you found cases where the “fix” made things worse?

If I’ve got something wrong here, please correct me.
