"Stop Romanticizing Tech" 👩‍💻 Software Engineer's Realistic Day

i've heard a lot of peers in tech say they wish people would "stop romanticizing tech" because of their personal experience with burnout and stress and more recently, AI and layoffs. all their complaints resonated with me and for a time, i also saw each day as a painful slog.

but i think just a pinch of romanticism and optimism can go a long way towards seeing possibilities and opportunities where others may not. we're already here, after all, at this point of uncertainty and chaos. if we tell ourselves that we can't see it any other way, we only suffer twice.

so regardless of your circumstances, i hope that as you acknowledge the reality, you also see everything that could be 💛

morning!! 🌇

woke up 30 minutes before my alarm!! ⏰ been trying to fix my sleep schedule / body clock, so this is a major win!

leisurely morning routine and breakfast before work is sooooo important!! 🥞

peer-review code (~13x!!)🏃‍♀️

fixed a major bug!! 🐛 and two other bugs i found because i'm an overachiever like that 💁‍♀️

went to an interesting lunch and learn!! 😋

afternoon... 🏙️

hot-fix!! 🔥🚒 (for a component that somehow got left out of a recent migration...)

meeting with some beta testers that went really well ☺️ i'm so proud since i led the project and endured a lot... like, A LOT for it 🥲

another meeting, this time to finalize documentation across teams in preparation for release... kinda boring tbh, but necessary 🤝

set up even MORE monitoring in preparation for release + clean up some tech debt while i'm at it 🖥️

evening~ 🌆

meetings with my manager and manager's manager 💼 i can't deal with office politics, tbh, so i just view these as catch ups with older friends who i happen to work with...

internal testing meeting for a colleague's project~ 👏

company-wide meeting~ (basically my time to be nosy about all the other departments) 👀

💌: until next time~! 🧡

The world may be full of hate and despair but it’s also full of backstage technicians who secretly are wearing really fun socks under their stage blacks

Software Engineer Diaries 👩‍💻 Everything I Do In A Day When I Don't Write Code 🖥️🖱️

am i an engineer or project manager at this point? 🤔

My current project is just like the last one in that I'm taking over partway through and the whole thing is already on fire 🔥 Three weeks in and I finally have some clarity, but I still don't have time to cover all my bases at the onset, so I'm just left scared and stressed about having to figure it out as I go.

met product managers and answered all their questions for over an hour even though all the answers were already available to them 💀 attempted to negotiate scope but get deferred 😒

pulled and analyzed data to confirm everything we already know 😖

met engineering manager and re-re-hashed scope (the original plan sucks and it's kind of my fault for trusting the misleading info handed off to me in a hurry) 🙄

reviewed code but i have next to no idea what's going on, i just know it doesn't look insane (5x) 🤞

helped our intern debug/learn random things but i'm probably not a very inspiring teacher since i'm so freaking done and can't be bothered to hide it much ✌️

updated docs: design docs, project docs, release docs, etc. 📑🗂️🗃️

met intern again to see how she's doing?? idk, i just follow the onboarding plan, even if it's painfully redundant and my social battery is non-existent ⚰️

curated a new starter task for our intern (hopefully it ends up better than the last one which i might've over-complicated, idk)

met senior colleague to come up with a new plan for our new objectives (thank god at least one thing went right today, so i kind of know what i have to do and now i just have to do it) 🤝

today's wrap-up tasks: ticket grooming, scheduling more meetings, answering more questions, etc. 👋

💌: i can't believe i still have to study after all this 😫 i swear this job is aging me prematurely 👵 google, play save me 🙃

watching cynthia interact with the thespians is so funny to me as a stage manager/lighting tech doing theater in college. cause like. actors are so much /pos. last semester i was apsming a show and the director INSISTED that the stage management team participate in all the bonding games and exercises at the start of the production. and one of the exercises was the meisner exercise they’re doing in rotpl. and my (and the psm’s) reaction to it was “this is weird and very, very silly, why are we staring into each others eyes talking about our hair color.” and the cast was so into it.

like it’s so clear to me that all of these actors are just grown up theater kids (affectionate) and i’m just trying to imagine how god damn hilarious it was for ari to have to act like they were absolutely baffled by everything they’ve been surrounded by (presumably) a good chunk of their life. and nim had to be so god damn serious about a high school play and i just can’t. imagine being at your job and having to act like that person from high school.

also nancy’s line about not being an actor and not respecting the profession while thinking she’d be great at it sent me. because like. can you imagine being on a film set FULL of actors, including yourself, and having to say that completely deadpan. i honestly don’t know how tricia didn’t lose it entirely.

SM: Fifteen. We all know it's not actually fifteen, but tell the actors anyway.

Stagehand: Thank you, fake fifteen.

In her 2008 hit “Circus,” Britney Spears claims “There’s only two types of people in this world: those who entertain and those who observe.” However, there is a third type of person: the elusive, exhausted technician. In this essay I will
