The lone coder again.

Duhh my last update 30th Oct. It seems like time is getting shorter and shorter in my life. I spend most of my time in front of the PC. Let see, after work I've to work on the codes till early morning. Then, weekend.. what weekend ? I spend 24/7 on this project. Is it worth it ? I'm not sure. I feel like I'm doing 3 persons job. Apart of trying to meet some err.. deadline hah!.. I also need to write reports and spend 1 to 2 hours meeting. Then, spending hours trying to convince some people that unit tests are good for our health. I know, I remember I was reluctant to do unit tests in my early years but along the way I'd learned the importance of it. Now, I cannot imagine myself trying to convince those seniors to practice it.. why me ? Then, I've been juggling working on the interfaces, background processes, multi threading, databases, design documentations, tests all alone. Then, when problems occur on the existing applications. I'm the front line person. So, let see.. am I busy ? hmm ..it seems to me that, nowadays probably after the recent credit crunch time, the title Senior does gives you the privileges to do less work, give less inputs, push job burden down the line. How lonely can one gets ? And yet, that wasn't enough for them. They want it fast and they want it quick... :(
