🦿 Lucian Marin I'm very demotivated after the last job. I don't want to start anything new. After the previous job I started Markdawn and Sublevel. I was very optimistic about the future, now I'm not. I'm thinking about doing a project management app. This is my only idea.
Mark Dain I'm sorry to hear it's not working out. Do you know what's wrong? Could you get your old job back - they may hire you again if this new gig hasn't worked out

🦿 Lucian Marin I've gone from coding UIs in HTML and CSS at the old job (2012-2013) to coding quality JavaScript and Python (2015-2017). I've even implemented a big data reporting backend in ClickHouse (clickhouse.yandex). I didn't consider over-engineering a new UI in ClojureScript the right path for the future. That's mostly the reason I left. There was still lots of work to be done on scaling the backend. The payment remained mostly the same across these two jobs, even if I worked harder ever single day. That's the reason for demotivation, I guess.

Yiorgos Adampoulos People get demotivated usually for two reasons: Payment or lack of praise. I use sometimes the following example: CR7 and Messi do not need that extra million in their yearly contract. But it is a sort of a metric of how good they actually are, compared to similar contracts.
