I have started working on a SaaS for Doctors. It is basically a patient management system where Doctor's can get complete picture of their patients like visit history, diagnosis, medications suggested, billing etc. I am using Nest.js for backend and Next.js for frontend (Shadcn UI Library)
Side Note : These posts on HN motivated me to start working on this project.
Cheers! to the community.
I spent good amount of time cleaning up 15 year old codebase and removed almost 10MB of source code files which was being part of production build and it was never used. This helped reduce the build time.
I thought I'd get appreciated from everyone in the team, but it was never acknowledged. In fact my PM was warried and raised an alarm for regression. Even though I was 100% confident that there would not be any regression, the QA and PM got annoyed that I touched a working software and they had to do extra work.
I then posted on LinkedIn about this achievement to get my share of appreciation. :)
It really sucks to feel so undervalued. I have been working with WITCH company and the entire promotion leveling is based on favoritism. With this 90 days of Notice Period, it is nearly impossible to get through even first round of interview. Every day is a struggle to prove yourself to the handicapped managers and self doubt whether you are even worth something to leave this job and try something else. 10 years and each day is a painful struggle.
I created this simple stock management system. This was a good experience building an end to end product since I have been a front end developer all my life, building this has been an amazing experience.
