What hurts a DA?

What hurts a DA?

The slightest amount of criticism. I wouldn't recommend it.

Virtualization is hurting my mental state.

This is a new one I haven’t heard. Probably hurts knowing most apps are just CRUD apps and most of the stuff people work on are non-critical too? Why does ownership even matter if it isn’t your com…

Fellow DAs, do you sometimes experience people taking it personally when you need space to be by yourself?

Fellow DAs, do you sometimes experience people taking it personally when you need space to be by yourself?

What are the signs to spot a DA or FA in early talking stage?

Thank you, I take notes for euphemisms. My ex DA used to minimize everything and make it look like its nothing. Dismissing & criticising my feelings too as if it was the biggest sin to have emotions. …
