Saying “We have few nice engineering positions in our company, would you consider them?” after one night stand

I built a configuration tool for Python apps: https://github.com/Euromance/confboy

Supports dynamic values, TOML configs, runtime mutations, merging and stuff.

Don’t let this article get in your head if you want a promotion or a raise.

1 and 6 are total BS. If your company does not have KPI or whatever useless and evil things project managers invent, just go to your manager and tell them you want a raise the moment you feel like you’re doing good and deserve it. And if the company still won’t give you a raise then I doubt it values you enough.

My salary raised over 200% in half a year just because I underestimated my base tag and asked for a raise every time I felt like I was doing very good. Although that’s not only about my performance but soft skills as well as pointed out somewhere in the article.

My manager once said: "Business does not care about you. How modesty can help you achieve things?”.

Loved it! Although it didn’t give a comprehensive answer on how to preventively solve the problem on any platform. Is there one? Or should software developers just stick to one way or another like some kind of an unspoken rule?

It’d be better to use namedtuple to avoid repeating same dictionary keys imo
