I wanna live in high rise building (top floors) as a 25 yo handsome guy with 6 packs, huge chest and wide shoulders. I will have some decent 200k salary. Everyday i will use tinder, bumble, hinge, aisle and instagram to text girls for hook ups. I will hit the bar/clubs every friday, saturday and sunday. I will fuck as many as girls i want from dating apps and clubs (just one night stands). I will fuck them at night with lights off and looking at beautiful view from gallery. after sex we will smoke some cigarettes. I will make as much as female friends (for benefits) so that whenever i feel horny i can call them for sex or cuddling session. May be sometimes i will do 3 some. I will be playboy and i will also find wingman to pick up girls. I will do this till 29-30, then go for marriage.

Flashing firmware requires a program designed for your microcontroller to do so as each device has different memory addresses dedicated to firmware. I used lm4flash here on one of my devices for example:

https://github.com/utzig/lm4tools

Someone's most likely made one for your microcontroller similar to this. Just search Github for your device.

How do I best position myself for a job when my current one ends? I am self taught and have been working for about a year and a half now but I get the feeling the project may get the axe at the end of the year. I'm spending my free time split between polishing up some CS fundamentals that normally seem to be overlooked by people who are self taught and learning .NET since that is the language the majority of jobs in the Midwest ask for. I do full stack TS for work (Node APIs, React Native, Vue) but ideally I would like to get out of JavaScript land, backend or devops maybe. I still have a valid CCNA hopefully that would be viewed as a positive for a devops role. Really I am finding I'm more and more interested in low level shit but I know that's not realistic. I once read some advice here that picking up a stack that's widely used in production but not taught in colleges is the way to go for self taught, so Ruby PHP or maybe even Go, is that true? What should I be focusing on (other than building a time machine)?

Does getting a help desk job boost my future prospects of getting in the development side of things later? (Along with a portfolio and everything else).

Or does it actually make my chances worse by putting that on a resume? I've heard there's some employers that look down upon that sort of thing.

I've been thinking of finding a new job but I feel like I'm "quitting" too easily. My current job is spending money on me to do courses so I feel a bit guilty to job hop right away.

Last job I quit was because of burn out and I was the only one in the team doing shit. This job my work has even more extremes where I'm either extremely busy or doing jack shit and it can switch on a fucking dime. I've noticed my boss is starting to not take "No, this can't be done" as an answer and it's quite frustrating since a lot of stuff is out of my control. The environment is also frustrating as fuck since it feels like a lot of people aren't being in charge of their own work and try to throw it onto me.

I don't know if they want me to take charge of their work but frankly I don't want to be chasing gooses all the fucking time.

Things will get better in the summer months since it gets less busy but we're a man down and I've taken the slack. I'm irritated that I haven't gotten any pay raise since I've taken much more responsibility but leadership is way too busy to give me direction on what I'm doing wrong or right so I feel like I'm just estimating a lot of the office politics and I keep getting it wrong and yet my 1:1s are just "you're doing a good job" but I always feel like they're hiding a lot of shit from me. If they're going to fire me that's fine. Logically I don't see it. They are paying courses for me and I'm still introduced onto many projects on a weekly basis. Paranoia wise I feel it once they hire the new guy.

There is no point where you've been there 'enough' to compensate them for the training. _They_ are compensating _you_ for the time you are giving them.

They're spending that money on you with the hope that you'll stay forever. It's not a reasonable expectation but that's what they want.
You shouldn't fell guilty about leaving, but if you can't help but feel guilty about it then you shouldn't have taken the opportunity in the first place.

>>They randomly bring it back up down the pipeline and try to act like it's my fault
At the end of the day when you first ask for the thing send them a """reminder""" email asking for the thing again.
It's a little bit annoying (for you and them) but either you get your thing or you've established a paper trail of it being their fault.

>>101201992
Yeah, I just hate how I have to take charge of "their shit" even though they're the ones that want it. I also really hate office politics instead of "hey lets discuss this BEFORE the big meeting" instead "i'm just going to call you out". I've been working with a PM and holy shit if this is everyone's experience with a PM (just literally go through an excel spreadsheet and ask for timelines and "hurrdurr how is it going to be done" without any foresight) then fuck, no wonder why people unilateral hate PMs.

I just don't know if I should take the brunt of it for another year or cut my losses quickly and leave. I'm just really annoyed that all my 1:1s are "You're doing good! Exceeding expectations as always" yet I can't help but always feel insanely behind in everything and everything I'm working with my boss just feels like I'm always giving him shit analysis. Like sometimes I can sense his frustration in our discussion because I said something that led to a rabbit hole but he can't get mad because he knows I don't have the full picture and I'm at least trying.

Like fuck I'd rather get some sort of criticism if I'm always feeling stupid during our 1:1s. I want to at least stick another year so I can get my bonus but I've gone to a point where I'm "rage quitting" because I keep getting frustrated and every single railroad track that I set on myself I keep getting roadblocked or I'm a dumbass and found that the track led to a dead end but I told everyone that it's already been built. But office politics HATE it when you give non "yes" or "no" answers even if you need more information and it's fucking frustrating being held to your word on an estimate. There's one group in particular I have to deal with twice a week and it's fucking driving me insane with how much abstract work they throw at me without again any FUCKING FORMAL REQUIREMENTS and they need it ASAP.

>>101201855
>I'm irritated that I haven't gotten any pay raise since I've taken much more responsibility
Don't put up with that or else it will never end.
Last year I found myself having to go after people that had higher roles than me and made more than me. I had a chat with my boss explaining him that while I was not against taking more responsibilities I did expect to be paid for it. He can of dodged it and gave me a shitty raise.
I've been doing jack shit since then.

>>101202388
I'll be quite honest. For the first 6 months of my job when I had the other guy. I did like 1-2 hours of work a day. Now I either cram 6-10 hours daily after the first guy left. That's why I'm a little hesitant asking for a raise because technically going from being a leech to going unga bunga one of the more important person in the room feels awkward.

>>101202417
It may feel backward to you, not to your boss, if he knew you were working 1-2 hours a day you wouldn't be there.

>>101202438
True, I'll wait for my legit performance review so I have some time to document my tasks now. I also still feel like a fucking monkey idiot and although I'm trying, I feel too stupid to ask for a raise now.

Do you have any written obligations? Job hopping is totally okay in software engineering. They invest money for their own benefit, not yours, they want you to work for them faster and better.
And all in all any company has more money than you do. Spending e.g. 1000$ when you salary is 500$ is a big deal, but spending the same 1000 while having millions is like nothing.

been on-call almost all my career (18+ years) mostly in 2-3 man team which means at least 1/3 of every month. and yet they claim slavery question was solved long time ago.
problem is I hate big corp. jobs even more with all the pajeets, endless calls with retards and rampant bureocracy... fuck my life. lately I have been drinking almost every other night on call, maybe they will fire me finally one day and I'll be free human for a while again.

>>101203058
I've never been on-call for my ~13-year career.

I remember when I got my first traditional job and how dismissive the senior engineer (we were basically the same age) was towards me and not understanding his piss poor directions and assignments. Got moved to my own team after a few months and I guess the manager talked to him and asked me to find courses I could take to improve but never got approval for them. Looking back at it, I think the owners were trying to stack it against me and fire me but they didn't expect a significant improvement.

Months leading up to my lay off, owners were doing company wide training for everyone but they put said senior engineer in control of it. He didn't do jackshit beyond an introduction course. Any time I tried to do any courses on my own, he would find out and chew me out for wasting company time and then offload work he could have given me earlier in the week.

Yeah, that bastard was trying to get me fired after a few months working there. Somehow my good results were ignored on the decision to lay me off. Fucking office politics.

>>101203058
I'm on call one week every ~1.5 months.
I never have to do anything.
Even if I do it's something really minor, or just calling the guy responsible.
Even if it weren't I rarely leave the house anyway and don't really care. I work on my own projects on my free time anyway, I don't do leisure stuff like video games or anime or going out. Working for the company instead of my own stuff is no different.
Just free money really.
Only problem is I sleep in on weekends till the afternoon so if something happens it will mess with my sleeping schedule.

It is. Your body needs an x amount of sleep per day depending on the person. If you sleep less, you accumulate a sleep debt and need to pay it off sometime in the future.

Sleep "debt" has diminishing returns. You can only fuck yourself up so badly so you can squeeze more time out of your day.
The trade off is that by fucking yourself up you won't be able to make good use of your time.
>night-owl circadian rhythm
Not how that works. There are people who are more active in the evening but not people who are more active in the dead of night.
If you're still screwing around at 2AM it's because you aren't exercising response inhibition.

Gets a good night sleep and doesn't worry about the Pudus putting the fires out. That's what outsourcing is for.

Some of you guys need to take notes.

>>101200934
Being on-call can really suck if you're not part of the dev team. If you're supporting garbage software then it will inevitably fail but you will STILL look incompetent. To top it off, you're usually working in a locked-down environment. Its not like you can install an IDE and automate a lot of your work.

Support isn't a cakewalk. I prefer to untangle code because I have the whole fucking day to do so. Its a handful of tasks that you have the entire sprint to complete (usually a two week period) as opposed to shit being thrown at you from all sides.

Dude, I've been in both worlds. Nothing beats being a dev. Support is awful. All kinds of different categories of tasks come at you non-stop. If you can get past the anxiety of talking to people, its not bad. Most enterprise programming jobs are not that hard. A lot of places are using legacy software. Data engineering is easier than regular development. Its all SQL, Hadoop, and PySpark. As long as you know Python and SQL you're good. You can pick up Scala along the way.

For the anxiety, I'd recommend purchasing one of Dr. Thomspon's audio tracks from https://scientificsounds.com/. You can probably pirate everything but this guy's an actual physician. He's not a millionaire asshole. You can meet him in person and he will genuinely work towards your health. This is new medicine. Healing by sound is a reality and this guy's the pioneer. If you can afford it, buy a track. This guy deserves it.

No I get back at work at 6.
Need to eat, shower etc thats 1 hour. So 7.
That leaves me with only a few hours of productivity. So I do stuff until 1, then relax until 2 and go to sleep then.
In contrast I have tons of time on the weekends and I can pay back the sleep debt then.
Due to my meds I need 10 hours of sleep a day at least. I'd need to sleep at 10 to get up at 8 which would leave me no time at all to do personal projects.

I don't think it will look bad on your resume, but the problem you're going to have working a helpdesk job for too is that it will be difficult to switch to a dev role cause you'll have to make time to study and practice programming while working on the help desk.
Believe me working on first line support drains you.
Rather look for an entry level programming job.
Even if the pay is bad at first, you'll gain a lot experience and grow into the role while becoming senior much quicker.

>>101201841
on the contrary they will see helldesk on your resume and try to rope you into more helldesk so no don't touch this shit unles you're completely out of jobs
this includes all forms of helldesk

>>101205909
>>101206356
The problem is entry level programming jobs tend to have insane experience requirements that I can't fulfill and I don't have a decent portfolio to show yet (working on it)
That's why I'm eyeing that other option out of desperation, to kind of tide me over while I have more to show for myself.
Maybe I'll get lucky and get a reply from one of these but it's been a couple months so I'm starting to lose hope

>>101206412

On-call means that you can get interrupted at ANY TIME, including during cooking, showers, sleeping, vidya, etc.
In my case, I was on-call when I used to work in medical transportation. That meant getting up at fucking 4 AM to drive people around, and at one point I had to juggle freeway driving with two close together phone calls and also looking through paperwork. That shit is zombifying. Grateful for the experience and hardship since I like challenging myself, but I don't want that again and I heavily, heavily advise against it.

Ask about it during the interview and if they do have on-call bullshit either try to negotiate out of it, ask for additional compensation, or just look for another job.

Anons, how do I get people to just ping me their question instead of just saying hi? I just checked my Teams and I see:

>hi anon are you available?
...and then you get 9/11ed with a non-consensual Teams call.

>>101201203
When those types if "how do I do my job" questions get asked I always just say something like "I'm not sure how your department handles this, I am cc'ing x in finance to help you out." This stops them from even trying to ask me to help anythings, even if I can do it I won't don't set the precedence.

On-call can really vary.

I'm trying to hire and folks bitch about having to join on-call, but our system is very reliable. We get one overnight issue per year, maybe per quarter if we're really unlucky.

Maybe I'm too brainwashed (or traumatized from hellish rotations earlier in my career), but it doesn't seem like the end of the world to carry your laptop with you a few weeks of the year in exchange for $350k a year plus benefits.

>>101206594

Cant even really have a deep conversation with them anyway so they’re basically a warm fleshlight.

I opted going for marriage and getting it out the way, still get the pussy, get the benefits of a wife if you don’t marry some feminist cretin (asians or hapas are the best, hence why I went with the latter), and you can focus on bigger picture stuff like family and your “legacy” aka kids.

That's a totally different thing. I stop work at 5pm sharp. On-call is just being capable of responding to critical issues.

It’s just modern society, between electronics ruining local community and religion inherently failing once people discovered more and more science, social standards disappeared because those two mechanisms were stopping people from being degens.

Personally I just believe society will repair itself but it has to get worse before it gets better. The biggest hurdle is unironically the Left due to inherent tendency to be as hedonistic as possible (due to the hedonistic treadmill), and the fact that you can’t discriminate and thus aren’t allowed to enforce standards on society.

Honestly I would call it being animalistic or wild. Not to sound like a christcuck but the idea of sin can basically be explained as degeneracy due to one’s animalistic instincts (see deadly sins, basically animal instinct to eat, kill, and fuck), so if you wanted something with a bit more reputation of a word, sinful brain rot works

>>101207893
Honestly junior roles are completely fucked to the point you basically have to win the lottery to get your first job, I had the same issue for my second one.

After that, you can be an excellent programmer and do alright but because we gave the pajeets internet access, every job is flooded with CVs so your talent has once again been reduced to random chance unless you essentially SEO the fuck out of your CV. It also doesn’t help that you have to pass the troll under the bridge (HR) who doesn’t know any of the terms whatsoever, so once again, you’re just trying for the lottery

What do project managers even do? From my point of view all they fucking do is set up a weekly meeting and go down through an excel spreadsheet and just ask for deadlines but don't even clear up any roadblocks or have any sort of communication to make sure the tasks get done.

When can you tell when you're wanting to quit your job if it's because you're a bitch or if it's actually unhealthy? I'm in a situation where I feel way out of my head but I can't tell if I should leave or not because it's too early and I still feel like I can grow a lot here. But at the same time, I'm really not sure if this is an environment I want to work in. I don't really feel supported and I'm getting a little frustrated in my day to day.

engineers. if i see "engineer" in your job title, you are probably a retard who cant do anything that isnt a very specific aspect of what you are supposed to be handling. i could tell you that an engineer is responsible for an entire part of a system, and the retarded fucking engineer is only ever going to learn about 1 part out of 10 in the system because he sees the other 9 parts as being beneath him.
i have never met so many people without common sense, with such a lack of an ability to troubleshoot something, and who get defended so much by their higher ups for doing retarded shit.

i have met a small number of people with "engineer" in their job titles who dont fall into this boat, but i have come to accept that 98-99% of engineers fall into the category of thinking they are really smart while being some of the most retarded people in the department.

I fucking hate night shifts, and I don't want anyone to do them. I want our alarming to be set up so effectively that you actually get real alerts and not bullshit, so if a victorops ping wakes you up, it's probably something important.

>>101215549
Well, first we have to cloning machines implies we have re dimension them by hand, which leaves room for human errors and it's time consuming, terraform addresses this issues. Scripts are good for specific, but they execute actions and do not define the final of a machine, whereas ansible is both idempotent and defines the final state of a machine not to mention it provides more functions than a bash or a python script.

>>101215621
Thank you for an explanation, sir.

>>101215621
>ansible is both idempotent and defines the final state of a machine
Neither of these two statements are true.

Ansible is NOT idempotent. SOME specific tasks, like template, or file, or copy can be idempotent, but most commonly used tasks like shell or command are NOT idempotent inherently, it depends entirely how specific commands you use will work. Also ansible cannot take into account changes in configuration that remove things.

Ansible does NOT define the final state of the machine. Ansible configuration defines procedural steps that it will be performed on the machine in sequential manner, of which final result will depend on when it is done, on what kind of machine, and what state that machine is in.

NixOS is actually idempotent and actually defines final state of the system(though not 100% since software running on the system also has its own state).

True. There are also some modules that are not 100% idempotent.

mmm, I disagree, I mean sure a playbook does this exactly: defines procedural steps that it will be performed on the machine in sequential manner, of which final result will depend on when it is done, on what kind of machine. But with ansible you're defining the desired state of a system, or that's somewhat the definition I got from RHEL.

Lets say you have a list of templates you want to create. You run a template task using with_items, or maybe with_fileglob, and create that list of templates. But later you remove the template or the entry from the list, and re-run Ansible. Would ansible remove that file? No it would not. You would have to implement that kind of removal explicitly and separately.

>But with ansible you're defining the desired state of a system, or that's somewhat the definition I got from RHEL.
Then that definition is wrong. Some tasks do define the final state of a resource, like `file` or `copy`, but other tasks define only SOME of the state of the resource, like `service` or `iptables`, and other like `shell` or `command` define none of the state, but only define an action to be performed.

I've worked with Ansible for many, many years, and I cannot stand it anymore. I will be doing all my future projects with NixOS, and nobody can stop me.

I did a 12 month of QA tester internship back in 2023. Being a QA isn't that bad since personally I think it's best to code for myself (because I'm a unity gamedev) than stressing out coding for work, but they pay higher salaries for "engineers" here. Somewhere down the line I might just apply for civil service anyway, but at least for the time being I wanna find a decent job to help support my two siblings until they can get a job on their own.

but surely there's very little new development in PHP right? if you get a backend job as a PHP dev then you'd probably be working on maintaining older stuff.

what should i learn if i want to do backend dev at startups that are building new tech from scratch? python/django or node stuff? maybe go?

>>101216447
I'm not sure, I'm feed up with my boss bullshit and I absolutely hate the new guy in management.

You want to stay at least a year. If you have too many jumps people will skip you just because your CV looks bad because of it.

One jump here and there is fine, yuo can say it was a bad place to work, but 2 or more in a row just looks bad.

>>101216748
Yeah, my idea is to stay a year at the very minimum, two ideally, while using the place as a training ground to learn stuff that could allow me to jump for a better paying job.

>>101216748
>If you have too many jumps people will skip you just because your CV looks bad because of it.
Pad out the time you've been at the company to look favorable. Tell the biggest lies you can get away with that make you look amazing. Remember, you're in direct competition with liars and the people reading CVs often can't tell the difference between somebody who is genuinely experienced and somebody who is a proficient liar. Anon's boss fucked him around on his salary by spinning a yarn, what's preventing you from spinning yarns? Why maintain the virtue of honesty if it's not reciprocal?

Reading CV? No.
Having even a 30 minute call? Yes. I can spot a liar from a thousand miles away. I can't count the number of times I've seen people(mostly jeets) with certification like CCNP and could not explain how traceroute works, or with RHCE that could not explain to me how boot process works.

I can feel your pain. Up until a year ago I was essentially a hermit sysadmin. Doing all of infra for a startup by myself. 300% productivity every day, crushing it, 10x engineering and such. That lasted about 4 years, sometimes stressful, sometimes overwhelemed, but learned a shit ton and was very comfortable doing it. But eventually time for scaling up cam, and I started hiring. Within a year now I have 4 engineers, 5th starting soon, and 6th in the works, and I feel like the technical work is slipping out of my hands.

I used to know every single detail of setup of all of our fleets like the back of my hand. Now i need to look shit up and ask my engineers, because the scale it too big and the projects are moving too fast for me to keep up. At least 60% of my time is spent teaching, mentoring, reviewing PRs, helping solve specific issues, and having meetings about those issues. Another 20% is spent on administration tasks related to HR and invoicing, and then measly 20% is left to actually do some technical work.

Fucking kill me /g/. I can't, I litrerally can't even.

I don't mean I dislike teaching or mentoring, it's great fun, but I'm going to stagnate technically if I don't do some actual fucking work.

Guys like you shouldn't be promoted, but management is retarded as always.

>>101217027
It's like this in any scaling business anon, once you prove yourself on the bottom rung you become more trusted by the higher ups and thus they will depend on you to make higher level management type decisions as the company scales. It sucks if you wanted to stick to programming and technical skills but being a trustworthy and dependable individual in the company is insanely valuable and you will be able to influence many more technical decisions at scale. Just think of the management aspect as being a new personal challenge to overcome.

>>101217311
>Just think of the management aspect as being a new personal challenge to overcome.
Not him but what if you are really good at programming and bad at managing? They would probably prefer firing you than let you return to what you do best

>>101201522
This was my experience doing glowie defense ctr work in MD. I got a promotion and a raise 6 months after being hired because I made the daring recommendation that we should maybe use python to automate some processes that were currently being done manually in excel.
The funniest part is that the government employees on the security and software engineering teams squashed the idea shortly after I got the promotion so I got to keep the money without actually doing anything.

>>101217342
If you are really good at programming and bad at managing, the company should have provided an alternative path to some sort of 'higher level' dev position for instance - Staff Engineer is a common title for such individuals. Otherwise, they shouldn't have promoted him to 'management' to begin with. This is a prime example of why human resources and career path planning for existing employees is important.

All is not lost though, he could always switch back to dev if he feels like he's not doing well in management. These types of situations are often more fluid than you think.

You're fucking retarded. And >>101217311 has it right. It wasn't that I was "promoted", I WAS the infrastructure. I built it from the ground up and supported it single-handedly for years. Me and it were the same thing. I wasn't promoted to manager of infrastructure engineers, I was always head of infra, I was simply given human resources to manage it.

And I agree with >>101217311 again, that it is a personal challenge to transition from technical work to managing people. I dare say I've done it well, but that doesn't change the fact that I've always and still enjoy purely technical work, and I do miss it.

>>101217113
Yes, it's very easy to stagnate. Fortunately the number of things happening in my company keeps me busy, but it also doesn't allow me to learn infra-specific skills, but instead teaches me domain-specific skills related to the client I work for. Which is good in some ways and bad in some ways. Its easlier to find work in infra than in infra for product Y.

At least I'm making bank.

is possible to do gigs for backend work?

i've done backend development for like 8 years now and im pretty good at it. in fact i finish most of my work within an hour and spend the other 7 hours of my workday literally gooning.

would love to make some money in my off time, but the only freelance type jobs i ever see are for "wordpress"/front-end developers.

Why is it sometimes so difficult to find software downloads on GitHub?
It feels very unintuitive for this purpose, as many times I will try to find the download page only to end up looking at individual assets and code unable to make any progress. I'm IT helpdesk level 2 and currently, I'm trying to download and old build of RPCS3 because a client needs a patched version of the executable to make a specific software work properly but it's 2 years old and the dlls in the most recent archives won't work with it, but I can't find where I'm supposed to download the software itself. Why is this site designed like this?

My city offers free pluralsight courses so I may as well do one. I can choose from web dev with JS, data analysis with python and SQL, software development with C# or QA testing. I know how to do a lot of linux server stuff but im really bad at math. I also want to work by myself or remotely as much as possible and especially avoid interacting with diversity or too much public speaking. If anybody has any of these roles id be interested to know what its like day to day. We will do some basic shit first and then its six months training for free with career support/placement.

I'm still naked atm. I've been thinking a lot about how much there is to learn in tech. The regular 9-5 shit where you're farting out CRUD apps is easy enough (despite people still finding novel ways to fuck them up) though when you deviate from that path, you'll find there's an unbelievable amount you don't know just outside of your periphery. Some of these technologies are working in tandem to produce the text you're reading on the screen right now. It's awe inspiring to realise that there's very few people on this earth who understand the entire chain of tech just for you to read this borderline schizopost.

I've been dragging my feet on learning AI. I don't really give a fuck about it. The way I see it, it's a means to mass produce junk.

That event loop nonsense is fuckin' stupid. Nodejs is great when you need to write some bullshit that needs to be stuck somewhere between your asshole and a server with fuck all traffic. Actually, you can cheat with AWS lambda functions if you need le scalability but if you want to throw something into a box and have it process more than two requests a minute, Go is what you need. That or Rust, I've heard some good things about Rust.

Naked! I watched some of a George Hotz stream tonight. From what I can tell, he likes banging shit out of a keyboard, talking fast and not making much progress. Reminds me of myself, which is why I think much slower these days. Partially due to age, possibly due to brain damage, definitely due to the proverb "slow is smooth and smooth is fast". I can type 160WPM and talk really fast too, but rarely do I say anything intelligible at that speed. George Hotz is an accomplished guy, more than me.
