When I get a call from the alerting system about an incident, and before I can listen to the message I get another call and another call. Some of these alerting systems are horribly designed. The one I have experience with calls you for each instance of the alert and has no smart way of detecting that I am already listening to one of their calls so they call you again and again before I can acknowledge their message.
I don't know what kind of infrastructure/framework you are working on. But for my Node.js projects I use sentry.io , it is amazing, gives you detail where something crashed, which user and commit related info. It has a variety of supported languages/frameworks. Most importantly you can setup the amount of alerts you receive for each instance of an error.
stackdriver logging -> xmatters alerts
I used sentry before, but don't you need some integration for alerting via Text or Call?
I don't know for call, but I receive my alerts via Slack and email.
Social media - I have a bad addiction to Twitter
This is probably more than you're looking for, but I'm thinking carefully about my career (and why I tend to burn out so often). I wrote this list just this morning, so I guess it's relevant...
Having to focus on many things at once.
I'm also struggling with that one, most of the times I'm responsible for 3-4 projects at the same time, although not of them active at all times, but it's still unsettling.
I think the many-things-at-once problem is something I've never dealt with very well.
Weirdly, perhaps, it's easier now I'm working remotely because I do some of the work at the weekend and take, shall we say, "extended" breaks during the week when people are pushing for results. The company's ok with this, and it means I work more at my own pace.
Over thinking on ideas
The biggest cause of my anxiety is society. I get very nervous every time I have to go outside or go to the store. The sounds of the outside world make me feel almost panic attacks, which makes me have to wear headphones every night. In addition to anxiety, I am also haunted by irritability. In order to keep calm, it was necessary to study what is kratom. Kratom is the only thing that helps me cope with my antisociality. I feel more relaxed and able to go out to the store. So the main cause of anxiety is people, that's why i tried kratommystic.com
Having to focus on many things at once is less of an issue with focus, and more of an issue with the brain's ability to jump back and forth between tasks. A normal brain can technically only focus on one thing at a time. People who are perceived as being able to focus on multiple things simultaneously are really just efficient at switching their focus between multiple tasks very quickly.
Perhaps thinking of it like this might help someone find ways to improve this ability within themselves?
Selling to customers while figuring out to push the right hot button that they will buy from you or dealing with partners that is looking to push work that is not yours into your hand instead of them doing it themselves.
This is very interesting , I think I can sell anything to anyone (I have been selling my mediocare self to people for a very long time) . I get anxious whenever anyone is displeased with something I am doing .
Haha it might be your a born salesman.
when a dumbass salesman who doesn't know adobe makes dreamweaver and calls it "Microsoft Dreamweaver" runs a smear campaign live on Zoom
Right now to satisfy the steak holder’s by adding the right amount of new features / keep up with migrations to a new framework and to make the app more stable for the future.
Turns out the task is more difficult than I expected...
Glad you come up with this discussion
Marketing. After running the marathon of creating a good product, you start a second marathon of marketing / sales without a breather.
Lots of things, but development wise it would be anything to do with servers or hosting. If i would never have to deal with those again i would be a much happier dev! 😊
What anxiety?
I get anxiety whenever my whole test suite passes. Does anyone else have this issue? I really can't put my finger on why this happens.
My only guess is that it abruptly takes me out of finishing a very small, manageable task (passing a single unit test) to suddenly reckoning with breaking down the next larger task, but I'm not sure that's right.
My main anxiety:
Fear of missing out
missing what?
Fear of missing out. Like when everyone is doing and you are the only one who isn't or when you feel like you are the odd one out.
I know that I have it too. Do you mean missing out on using some new language/framework or something more in general?
well Yeah mostly it is related to new framework/languages or tools and tech.
there'll always be something new, Im trying to learn how things work, like the flux pattern or the web mvc or how to make a preprocessor or a compiler.. I dont know where Im going with this comment :) but if you know the general stuff it would be easy to learn any framework/language if you need it for some specific task
@Yash_Jaiswal @***
I saw that YouTube video the other day by Joshua Fluke during which he said (I might be paraphrasing) "Tools are just tools, we only care about the end goal/product".
So a long as you're doing quality work, there are zero reasons to care about your tools. Just be sure they are market relevant.
The idea of losing precious time on work that I'm NOT 100% passionate about.
