| I've found myself, really wanting to reengineer code and have been fired from projects as I mostly freelance... It's sort of a two way street... Knowing the expectations, convincing us that the bear minimum is all that's needed. Just fix the bugs. Keep your head down. Don't rewrite 2k lines of code that's ugly and not broken... Then I think positive two way communication is good... As the op said we suffer from fear of rejection bad also as a given imposter syndrome so if I get good feedback, I know I'm doing what you want, that you're happy... Etc. I think part of wanting to reengineer may be wanting to convince the boss in the scenario or ourselves that we aren't just faking it and adding 20 hours to a budgeted 5 hours ends up having the reverse effect. Tldr: good conversation, praise where due to reinforce good work and constructive criticism when something needs to change. I was a lot worse in this respect as a junior dev... So that may also be a factor, the more ppl I work with the better I am. I have ADHD and could be slightly ASD or just overlapping on symptoms which is common. Wasn't diagnosed till 3 years ago, medicine and exercise changed my life. |
