and because i tell him 'i don't know how to do that'

he has become more and more bitter

Right, but part of the art of being a programmer is managing expectations.

yeah - when i started i was too excited so i wanted to do everything - i thought he was a tech guy

Well, first, as a programmer, you're never ever allowed to say "I don't know how to do that."

he views programming as the dark arts - so if you know python, you know everything about everything with a plug

Yeah, but there's google.

yeah - but he wanted me to make a full scale CMS within 3 days

i had to tell him no

I've been a professional programmer for 16 years, 50% of my work is just using google for people too lazy.

And reading documentation...

Bosses dont like hearing "idk how to do that" even if its the truth

Right, define "fullscale" CMS?

i am very new to programming, sub 5 months

he wanted me to make a site that could manage all of our db's records

K, well as a programmer, you have to learn programming has very little to do with code, and a lot more to do with "finding out what the customer REALLY wants."

yeah true - but i couldn't do it in 3 days

When youre on the field you gotta play the game a certain way to get ahead

i needed time to learn

true revel

Right, but you could do somethin gin 3 weeks?

now you're just haggling over time.

Building a CMS is dead simple.

i'm not a veteran like you man - i'm new - i would need time alone to learn

And remember this: Bosses use psychological warfare on their subordinates

yeah now i can do it - but at the time i had no xp in web dev

Look man.

I'm not attacking you or anything, it's just typing, so it's hard to communicate like with tone and stuff.

I'm just trying to share some wisdom.

I'm totally attacking you.

i know man - i wasn't rejecting what you were saying

Your face is a butt.

ofc you are

When I took my first programming job, I lied my ass off

I said I could do shit I really couldn't

and I was up all night on google reading tutorials, and trying different things

and I basically probably maid like $2 and hour at the end of that project

If your boss tells you he wants something done in 8 hours when it usually takes 10 hours. Hes doing that on purpose.

did you spend 90% of ur time on tech support tho?

and answering other people's emails

But I learned a lot, and made like the worst auotmatic archiving system the world has ever seen.
