This article is for you if you are a junior coder or a senior coder unsure about your future.

Source of the article and the rant

Today, I read an inspiring post from Yazid H, that you may find on Linkedin.

Too often recruiters are putting pressure on young coders with the customer benediction.

It creates toxic stress, a fear of failure, the shame to not have the proper knowledge to make the job. The same knowledge that few talented geniuses may have at this age.

The Toxic trend of the IT market

Beyond this unrealistic market pressure, we need to trigger the alarm.

I do not blame the recruiters, they are the echo chamber of the market.

But We see our most fragile and sensitive colleagues progressively be disgusted with their job and abandon their career even if there was a passion at the beginning.
