>sent meeting from 3-4 this Friday>immediately declineYou gotta be based or else you get walked over, anons.
hmm... one of my juniors just spent 4 hours writing a single if statement for a task that I thought would take him 2 minutes. Interesting...
>>101913625sorry boss I was edging in the backroom to tranny porn
>>101913625It's me. Fuck the tasks.
>>101913562>friend does a 6 month web dev bootcamp>gets a codemonkey job in 2021>now he's a senior dev making north of 6 figures>I go to uni and get a CS degree>unironically considering applying to McD's (they're paying $20/hr now)Haha
dubs and all of you niggers get fired
>>101913670do it mother fucker. you think I care about getting fired?
>>101913705FINE, I'M REROLLING
>>101913603boss asked me to travel to an on-site in kansas in two weeks and i said i couldn't. i don't actually have anything going on, just didn't feel like dealing with that bullshit
>>101913669What bootcamp?
>>101913625The workload placed upon you adapts to your abilityAppear to be completely useless and nobody will bother asking you to do anything
>told if we miss our deadline there will be hell to pay>work feverishly on my tickets to make sure they're done with a little bit of buffer time in case new shit comes up>senior on my team was only assigned two relatively simple items for the sprint, hasn't done either>i pick up the more difficult of the two, finish in about 4 hours>he still hasn't done the easy onejesus christ, he's a really nice guy and usually productive, i'm not gonna tattle on him but this guy is causing me a lot of undue stress. it's not like he even needs to crunch on this shit, could've put in two hours a day and comfortable finished both of these things last week
>mom found the api gateway
>>101913670i'll roll for this, hate my job but can't quit or else i'd be unable to file for unemployment
I can't stop thinking about everything being pointlesstech is very fun and that's the only sticking pointmany corporations only make money because of other corporations. E.g. My company only exists because Facebook exists. And guess what! Humanity requires neither! We don't even need TVs, Marketing, 80% of the top websites in the world (amazon, Facebook, instagram).We only need food, plumbing, shelter, healthcare, clothes, electricity, and beds. Everything else is non essential.
I think it's finally happening. I don't think I enjoy programming anymore unless I'm getting paid.
>>101913670roll
>>101913800you should never be programming unless you're getting paid>b-butpick up a real hobby faggot, go to the gym or dancing
>>101913670rerollpls, I want to be fired
>>101913776Follow the senior's example. Deadlines are all fake and gay. If something doesn't get done in time it is the manager's fault and the only reason there's pressure to finish things is so they look good. You gotta call them out on their shit or they'll continue to profit off of your stress.
>>101913812Neither of those are hobbies. I go to the gym because it keeps me sharp and doesn't make me ache all over after sitting 8 hours a day. Programming on your own time is a good career choice anyways (on top of it being fun), not sure why you're so opposed to it, unless you're a lifeless wagie.
>>101913859good goy, sharpen those skills, your boss needs a new yacht anyway
>>101913798>I can't stop thinking about everything being pointlessLife gets better when you stop being a nihilistic doomer and realize it is what you make of it.
Have you guys gotten more luck on LinkedIn than indeed? I only have and use indeed.
>>101913869You're a retard. Literally no reason to not continuously get better at your career.
>>101913943i don't really use it, but from what i've heard it's decent IF a recruiter reaches out to you first. for cold applying, i've heard it's dogshit and even worse than indeed
>>101913562Any ideas for how to move from frontend developer to devops? Seems like site reliability engineer is the only way along with Python, Go, and CI / CD side projects.
>>101913943I don't think it really matters. I use Linkedin because it's what I started with and when I checked indeed it was mostly the exact same postings on both sitesThe particular link you click to get to the company site isn't going to affect your callback rateThe only advantage of indeed is that it doesn't have the gigacancer social network full of thirdies and NPC self-promotion gurus glued on top
>>101913732Coding Dojo.

>>101913941>Life gets better when you stop being a nihilistic doomer and realize it is what you make of it.You can realize that and still have too much self-respect to make your life about marketing or useless spreadsheets.
>>101913776You retard, he's letting the deadline pass on purpose so he can blame the higher ups for having unrealistic expectations. If you manage to get everything done on time, they're just going to keep piling on more and more. He's trying to stop the problem from getting worse.
>>101914067you should pick up a book on mongoDB
I'm trans, cute and valid.What language should I pick up?
>>101914292C
>>101913625So why don't you fire that tranny and hire me instead? He's not your sidepiece, is He?
>>101914043Anyone?
>>101914206nigga we've already got our next deadline queued up after this one, missing this wont accomplish anything long term. our pm has been on our side begging for more time and higher ups have strongly implied they'll fire him if we miss again. then he'll probably get replaced with a yes man who will make our lives even worse. if it was anyone else i'd assume they were sandbagging because they'd know i'd pick up the slack, but i think he's either depressed or having family issues or something. that or applying to other jobs, and good for him if he is but he's one of those "genuinely believes in the company mission" types so i kind of doubt it. idgaf about the company mission, just want to get this over with and move onto a better project
I'm White and straight and trad, if that matters.
>>101914498wtf are you even asking. search for devops jobs to see what the common requirements are, learn that shit, and apply. probably a tough transition from frontend but not impossible. i would never want to be an SRE though, seems like a thankless job where you're on call all the time
OH, I'm also single.
>>101914486Why are you capitalizing "He" like they're the Lord
>>101914553need to know information; you wouldn't get it.
Finally leaving dogshit Accenture lads
>>101914535That same on call feeling is the vibe I am getting too from some of those online job descriptions.I figured it would be cool to deploy environments and do script kiddie changes.Instead, I build mostly frontend components for dumb literal bros.You would think "Wow that's based" etc, but I realized most people I work with in the current company are bullies.Maybe it's just the "where" I am working. However I have applied for stuff since February and get rejected, all, the, time.I am mostly scared to do another dev job interview since I am awful at coding interviews. I am good at doing tasks, and modifying and learning from examples. I should probably just aim to go back to technical support with a deeper coding focus or something. Idk, I have lost faith in myself.
>>101913723Kansas? HAHAHAHA. no.
>tfw got ghosted AGAIN by recruiter.I want to find a new job. I can't stand working for a bank's IT sector AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>101914658banks are where old people and pajeets go to let their careers die
>friend just told me he enrolled in wguhe's fucked
>>101913669Same with me and my brother in lawCollege / bootcamps don’t mean shit by themselves except to give you the tools, but I must say the latter seems to be more conducive to networking opportunities
>>101914766what's wrong with wgu I'm not in the loop?
>>101914766I dropped from a regular university to WGU and its literally the same fucking outdated curriculum as every other uni, I'm not sure why people hate on them.I just can't keep up with a normal university deadline system due to working multiple jobs.
we're so fucking back
I installed Linus from scratchcan I get a job nowwho's hiring????

>>101914807>People that got into the industry without a degree take classes there because you can basically get a credited degree in like 6-12 months.>Random youtubers start shilling the university saying how you can cheat it and graduate in like 3 months.>Bottom feeder hypernormies decide to jump in and cheat the system for a degree>They never get past the interviews because they might have a BS in CS but have the knowledge of a freshman, not a single original project in their portfolio, and didn't even get an internship since they just rushed trough their degree.
I take back the mean things I said about Jira, it's actually alright.

I got murdered by 5 women I don't know on a Zoom call with 30 other people I don't know on my first day in my new role because I didn't have anything to say about the progress on deliverables that were supposed to take me 2 weeks to even do.I should probably look for a new job.
>>101914606i'm not devops but imo deploying sucks. it either works perfectly and is boring or something goes wrong and it becomes stressful, no idea how it would ever be interesting. imo backend is where you get to do actual fun stuff>I am mostly scared to do another dev job interview since I am awful at coding interviews. I am good at doing tasks, and modifying and learning from examples.you're not alone, everybody hates that shit. just something you have to practice and then power through during the interview process so you can forget about it until next time you need a job
>>101915110>hey anon we need you to install a work profile on your phonefirst mistake is agreeing to this. my phone is my property, i'm not installing shit on there for work. give me a work phone if you want me to install bullshit on it
>>101915168This. On no planet am I ever installing bullshit on my personal devices. As far as work is concerned, I don't even have a phone
>>101913670oh no. haha.
>>101915168>>101915342At my company I was given the option for a work phone, or I could use my personal phone for work. I obviously chose the work phone, and I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't.
>Fridge empty>Layoff rumors>Rent increases >Nothing will ever be cheap againDo you notice signs of the recession hitting? I know the FED will never admit it since that will make it worse.

>>101915536Damn did you get an interview at least? were the questions hard?
>>101915448>Fridge emptymy fridge is always empty because it's way larger than I use>Do you notice signs of the recession hitting?healthy economies are supposed to have regular recessions to keep inflation downtry living in a country that unironically has only had lines go up for 30 years

>>101915157I feel you.I gotta be honest, the more I do dev work, I realize maybe I should go for an easier comfier related job that's adjacent to it.I am not saying I am bad. However it has been a hell of a grind to grind through jobs for five years just to break in.I think it's an age thing. I might be too old to keep up or some shit. Going to see a doctor for ADD meds as I think it's something I've ignored for years, and it's put a hamper on my relationship with my wife and my job at times. I hate pretending to be someone I am not most of the time at work since I can barely concentrate in an office setting twice a week. It has taken the fun out of it for one. Two, the company I work for has an atrocious bro culture. I have never seen more inappropriate shit on a work based Slack. The shit we build is some shitty ATS for job recruitment that I could care less for.Maybe I am too nice or too professional. I just want to do something potentially similar, somewhere else.I just know that I am okay for frontend, and can barely do backend.I regret not staying in technical support sometimes cause the team, pay, and benefits were great. Maybe grass is always greener.I would have to stick with this dev shit for another 3 years to even maybe get $20k more since more and more of these fucking jobs want like 5 years of experience (and yeah I "apply anyway")I am debating doing solutions engineer / developer advocate roles since the pay is better, usually remote, and isn't as 100% involved all day.Been applying for shit since February and always get rejected. Closest I got was some in person dev job near me but to be fair I think I got rejected since I was too honest.Pray for me Anons, I really want to find my purpose again.
>>101915765>say yes since I wanted money>now he's calling on literally every day off asking me if I can come in, asking for a reason/excuse if I refuseYou played yourself.
>>101915765>manager asked me a couple of times on days off if I wanted an extra shift>say yes since I wanted moneyDumbass you are supposed to chart out what days or hours you want to work and set a limit for that. Say you wanted to work 5x10's you state that you would do that for only 3 weeks or 2 months. It has to be explicit and in email formatting. It makes his job easier since other people that are more broke then you will just take any extra hours or days while others will only take extra hours on certain days for whatever reason.
>rejected a jeet today.I'm doing my part.

>>101915860Thanks Anon. I work for a company that has allowed basically half the team to become infested by them.I salute you good sir for doing the needful.

>>101916124>not using tagged releasesyea that sounds retarded, they don't give a shit
>>101915824Summary: Fed up with burnout and bro culture, Anon regrets trading tech support's cushy simplicity for a dev job that's sucked the soul out of them, leaving them desperate for a comfier gig.
>>101916156We use GitHub tagging for releases but like not being able just to say "launching 7/1" or "launching 7/3" because we have external dependencies is stupid. We've only been using it for a few weeks and management locked us in to the way we have to use it even though they don't even fully know what they're doingThis whole thing really exposed how little management wants us to have even the slightest bit of autonomy while delivering their shit

I'm not about to die early like Chad just to impress any managers.
I wonder if I should reach out to an old coworker that left the last company I was with after a little over a year working there. I'm curious to know what his experience was like after I got canned.
>>101913669Let me guess, you failed to get any internships? Despite being low pay or unpaid, actually applying your skills and learning for 6-12 months will at least contribute greatly to your resume.
>>101916223>>101916269/g/eneral dynamics
>>101916335KEK out of all of the contracting companies it is the most bloated bureaucratic nightmare to work in. Bosses are mostly OK, coworkers are alright but the customers are shit to deal with and makes everything a pain. I had shit constantly coming down from bosses way above and beyond my section asking for shit because not even my bosses knew what was going on for day to day operations.
>>101916296I wish more people thought like you
>>101916355I think like this only because I got nowhere at my old job (basically on call service desk support). It was supposed to be a 1 year contract, then hired on full time later to a different position. Despite having the best call times, one of the best records of first contact resolutions, and having a good rating from those that took the servay; when it came time to hire me they decided to instead just renew my contract with no raise. Left shortly after.
>>101916296I only work OT for fat cash bonuses and extra PTO.
>>101916162Thanks, that's pretty accurate.I think I'm going to learn more Python 3 and Go this year. That's my plan.
>>101916450No extra PTO for working overtime at my job sadly, otherwise I'd consider it lol
>>101916093No, you're not a "programmer". No, no no no no no, you are NOT a programmer. I am so sick of all these people who think they're programmers. No, you're not. I see these people saying "I just finished programming this little visual Novel in RenPY" THAT'S NOTHING! THAT'S LITERALLY NOTHING!Most of us can easily create that, with sdl, in C, from scratch, in 30 minutes. Your accomplishments mean nothing. I see people who only write Jupyter Notebooks and claim to be "developers". Funny. Come talk to me when you start working on the systems level. And attention women: React is not real programming. JavaScript frameworks in general are not real programming. 30 lines of python wrapping one library is not real programming. Unity is not real programming. Excel Macros are not real programming. Put down the children's toys and pick up something that requires skill and effort for once. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>101916296>>101916450>>101916355There's literally nothing stopping me from laying you off for not being a team player. There are others that will do your job. You're alright with that then?
>>101916049I feel for ya bro. Working in food service was a lowpoint for me, I'll take working in the hot sun over it at this point if I get laid off
>>101916546do it and I will literally "accidentally" destroy all the big projects haha whoopsies it all got deleted, no backups!
>>101916546Good luck finding another guy with my skills and experience who's willing to work for less, chief. Literally just git gud and all your problems go away.
>>101916546Oh I am a team player. I help out when necessary, I still get all my work done without too much trouble, and people come to me all the time for questions about their work and projects.But I am not going to burn the candle at both ends and die of a stress related heart attack just because a company wants to make a fat profit off of my hard work. I've seen fifteen people get hired and fired in the time I've been at my company, yet I'm still there.
I have 4 YOE and still feel like I have zero leverage and power at the workplace. How long does it fucking take? 10 years?
>>101916546god bless america
>>101916655you'll have it once you grow taller
>>101916313I just finished a 6 month internship. The job market is even shittier now than it was 6 months ago
>>101916544Lol C based programming jobs don't pay shit. A bit jealous I see?
>>101916544but the other things you listed pay more than systems programming
>>101916544>Put down the children's toys and pick up something that requires skill and effort for once.customers don't care if the table you sell them was cut with a power saw or with a butter knife but I know which one I'd rather use
>>101916026"Please remove me from this distro"How can CORE prevent reply alls?
>>101916655You have to get hired in a top level spot in order to have any leverage. When the company has an org chart it must be followed, so you only are allowed as much leverage as your boss has. 8 yoe "senior" (we don't do titles) here and my opinnion means nothing b/c the guy above me does nothing. Just look for new opportunities in a higher spot in the chart if you actually want to get things done.
>>101916662Get another internship.

>>101916708No, you're not a "carpenter". No, no no no no no, you are NOT a carpenter. I am so sick of all these people who think they're carpenters. No, you're not.I see these people saying "I just finished building this little birdhouse with an air hammer and a kit"THAT'S NOTHING! THAT'S LITERALLY NOTHING!Most of us can easily create that, with a hand saw, freehand, from a tree, in 30 minutes. Your accomplishments mean nothing. I see people who only make floors and claim to be "carpenters". Funny. Come talk to me when you start working on the Ashley furniture level.And attention women: screws are not real carpentry. Nails in general are not real carpentry. 30 metal spikes where a dove joint should be is not real carpentry. Glue is not real carpentry. Building ikea furniture is not real carpentry. Put down the children's toys and pick up something that requires skill and effort for once. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>101909852Thanks for this list, this is super valuable.
Would Donald Trump also have destroyed the job market if he was President this term, or is that just a Joe Biden thing?
>>101917812People that think the president is the cause for macroeconomics should be put down
>>101917812It is in fact a Joe Biden thing.>>101917830In the general case not necessarily, but Biden did a bunch of specifically retarded things that combined to jack up energy costs and crush employment among the native born. He also sponsored the bill making student loans non dischargeable in bankruptcy and voted to ratify NAFTA when he was a Senator so his role in today's issues goes back longer than many anons have been alive.

Then we got some dick head VP of Product who brought in finance/tech bro culture and people scrambled for titles to puff out their chest. The guy got fired 6 months in but the title culture got left behind. People with 2 to 3 years less time at my company weaseled their way into Director roles. Meanwhile I got fucked over and got stuck as an individual contributor. Despite being the guy who saved the company from lawsuits and bankruptcy multiple times, I'm now forever out of the loop and my opinions no longer matter unless someone with a big title comes to ME asking for it.I'm paid alright but I have no upward mobility. I've survived 4 layoffs though and I'm the guy who is left to sit in the corner as long as shit works. It's WFH and I'm cranking $175k a year with only a $2k/mo mortgageto basically play video games and watch the company slowly eat itself from afar.With how fucked the economy is I don't want to give it up. I do sort of want to get a second job though. Even just a contracting gig.Anyone have any recommendations? I do datalake infrastructure and backend web.
>>101915444>>101915342I can get a work phone, but as long as I'm not required to install a work profile and/or Teams I'll just use my own phone.Protip: they try to hide it, but you can totally use a standard totp authenticator app instead of the microsoft authenticator botnet. It's the only work related thing on my phone and it's an offline app. As long as that works, I'm not getting a work phone.

>>101920078serious question: is getting rid of grease this way REALLY that bad?
>>101920242Not anymore, nowadays Chinese people will dig it out of the sewers to use in their restaurants
>>101918735can someone explain in good faith what exactly Joe did that makes him responsible for all this? last I checked he didn't invent COVID he didn't tell Big Tech to overhire and he wasn't in charge when they gave all those handouts to billionaires
>>101920242bad for who? Not for me. Collecting it like a cuck to transport it to the reCuck point would be bad, so I shortcut and recycle the grease to mother nature via plumbing
>>101920242It depends on the quantity. You can wash out greasy pans in the sink, it's when you start actually _dumping_ large amounts of used shallow-frying oil down there that the pipes get justedPlumbers make a killing off FOB jeets who don't understand how plumbing works doing this
>>101920299>he didn't invent COVID(X), also he printed money like a mf and shutdown the world basically. Yes, every one of his goons followed the american pharmacomplex policy.So what did Joe do to prevent the current scenario developing? Ultimately he is the one responsible.Not even mutt btw
>>101920299Joe is a demented retard. He isn’t to blame but everyone that is propped him up is and I hope Trump wins because I liked seeing them seethe for four years. Companies also aren’t firing people they hired during covid theyre firing whites and replacing them with jeets and a copilot account. My jew manager didnt even wait until I was out the door to announce they were hiring 2 jeets to replace me.

Bros I think I might be getting fired soon. I'm on contract and been here for 8 months but my progress feels very slow. The experienced guys I feel like are starting to treat me with disdain. The guy who sits in the cubicle next to me asks me if I need help with anything once a day but when I ask a question he gets visibly impatient. The main guy I ask for help is the senior guy and he was helpful at first but now it's starting to feel like he's just done with me. He constantly makes sarcastic comments about stuff I'm trying to do and always sounds annoyed when I ask him things.I'm trying but it's really not fair, our systems are completely fucked. We use like 20 different tools, they all have trouble communicating with each other, and furthermore our group is the nexus between like 5 other groups, so I have to be aware of who they are and their work and how it relates to us. It's a massive amount of stuff to get familiar with. And we have like 30 different tasks that we do and all of them require a lot of insight and by the time they walk me through one and I visit it again it's been like 3 months and I forgot everything. I feel retarded but I also feel like it's not completely my fault because this place is so disorganized and chaotic. I've been in a constant state of stress and worry about getting fired since I started.

Hello guys anyone can recommend me books for beginners on python and java?. Ive already got sources on C. I would like to have it in beginner>intermediate>advanced thanks for the help

>>101921474advanced
>>101921474ill posed question, what is the point of reading books on different languages? Just try to build something and learn the tools you need to use. Or look at career opportunities and learn what they search for in your area. Neither Java nor Python is anything special, they are the cookie cutter of languages. Also, just learning CS concepts would help you better.That said, Effective Java is solid, it touches on concepts beyond just Java but still reads like an ELI5
how many libraries do I have to make to get one coding job
>>101921325The thing that really bugs me is that half the time I ask them shit, they don't know the answer and have to "get back to me" after they ask someone else, or the answer they provide is very weak sounding, or sometimes I find out that what they told me is just straight up WRONG.So clearly there is a lot of confusion for them too, but they get this attitude when I'm the one asking questions.It's almost like they just want me to shut up and coast, but fuck dude I'm trying to preserve my job and get hired on. I have to know SOMETHING about what is going on.

Always shoot 20-30k hirer then there high end of there range and they might bite but most often they will talk you down to the top of that range.If you do not know how much that job is worth even with extensive googling then hit with either 2x or 3x your current pay. If its above 100k with what you make now then hit em with 100-200k and see what they will talk you down too. >>101923361The new normal will be speaking hindi and living with indians shiting on side walks, parks, bathroom floors, urinals, and beaches for the rest of your life. Oh and you will be getting paid 5$ hour while rent is starting at 5000k biweekly while everyone lives in 3 bed houses with 5 families.
>>101923365depends on whether you are satisfied with your life at the moment.

I'm being put on a team with great developers. Somehow my mentor and some other coworkers have tricked themselves into thinking that I am a good developer. One of them unironically said I was the brightest junior he has worked with. On the new team I know I'll be given a big project to work on for half a year. I'll be solo, but of course I will be getting help when/if I ask for it. It's so unreal how cooked I am. I am genuinely just not very intelligent, and I can't solve complex stuff. If I somehow manage to complete the project, I will develop a God complex so big I can't even imagine. But that's fantasy, there's no way in hell this will go well. Fucking hell, I am gonna be exposed so hard.
>>101923946how hard could it be, if you are solo you have all the time in the world to research certain topics and technologies
>>101923994You're right, so that's why I am considering my two options; a) work as normally, probably fail. b) work extra and pretend like I have worked normal hours, maybe not fail?Problem with b) is I might be forced to keep it up for the rest of my career (IF b) goes well), and I can't do that shit man.But yes, you are right. How hard could it be? I just know I haven't solved anything big ever and I have a hard time believing I will start doing it now. FUCK I need to become a product manager or owner or something retarded like that, fast fast fast
>>101923869Do not let this faggot think he can be a tyrant. Just laugh in his face. If he escalates it, it will become clear to his boss what a dickhead he is and it will not be a good lookYou are too young to realize this but authority is derived from the people who are being commanded

so company hired me to do x which is what I like to do and what my masters thesis was on,so I do x , I finished the project pretty quickly and better than the competitor, have time between projects so I do y , i don't like doing y but I realize i have to be doing something before i can do x again, so do x again once another project is lined up , and then finish that and have to do y , as time goes on i do more y and almost no x, I'm kind of miserable. then i find out through the grapevine for the project I am currently working on, they has previously contracted an x component that I did not know about to another company.this just really rubbed me the wrong way. I know its not because I'm not good at doing x, in one of the x projects literally no other vendor was able to do what I did , and seemingly no other engineer has stepped up to do any portion of x. I dunno I'm feeling like I was tricked into going into this company doing y when I wanted to do x.

legit question, what do "IT" people even do? i as a software engineer cannot fathom that people need help with shit like logging into something or setting up a printer via Samba or something. is "IT" as a job market just predicted on ~90% of people being completely tech illiterate?
>>101924788Bro I'm paid less than min wage from neetbux, and I don't want to be a neet, it's been 1 year since I graduated. I would work min wage if it was in tech.

>>101924715Are you tall and handsome?
>startup>they want a mechanical engineer>want them to do mechanical engineering and industrial design work>they're a software companyMotherfuckers. Those are two distinct things. You rarely find anyone that can do both and if you do they don't job hop. It's not like picking up a new coding language.
>>101924814You can apply that to anything tho.>Is "Construction" as a job market just predicted on ~90% of people being completely clueless about building?>Is "Healthcare" as a job market just predicted on ~90% of people being completely unaware of medical knowledge?>Is "Automotive Repair" as a job market just predicted on ~90% of people being completely ignorant about car mechanics?>Is "Financial Advising" as a job market just predicted on ~90% of people being completely uninformed about finances?>Is "Law" as a job market just predicted on ~90% of people being completely ignorant about legal matters?>Is "Plumbing" as a job market just predicted on ~90% of people being completely unknowledgeable about plumbing?>Is "Electricians" as a job market just predicted on ~90% of people being completely uneducated about electrical systems?

>>101924814We are much more close to being a mechanic but instead of plugging in parts to guess the solution we instead implement solutions to solve the problem.Some places are really chill with decent work schedules, other places you work shifts, and some places they work you to the bone. You spend alot more time trying to figure out the solution then you actually do implementing it since you would rather not break it more in the process of fixing it. Most issues are easy to fix and your main skill set is learning more shit and a variety of it then you can specialize into a job like Networking , Server's, Cybersecurity where you get eyeball deep into content that still boils down to plugging in a few solutions to the problem but is mostly spent finding the perfect solution. Protip you cannot just restart a server/switch or a firewall when you have a problem, that is when you become specialized in the job. Mostly we are the higher end of reading comprehension and problem solving. While CS grads are way better at math and problem solving then us, which is why you guys drop into our career and fly to the moon. Also Certifications teach more then college degrees do. College is better for management and job experience is king. Another thing you can do is work on homelabs with servers and other shit like GNS3 that you can put on your resume. If you want to be engineering level you need your masters, homelabs and tons of certs to get to that level and make real money starting 200k+

>>101916471Focus on Go. You’ll hate yourself less and the language wont piss you off as much with its retardation. The most complaints you’ll see are “CONSTANT ERROR CHECKING” which avoids exceptions, which suck more.
Quickest way to get big $$$ with no skills?

>>101925422Thanks bro. You're the only anon that replied with helpful ideas and I appreciate that.Been applying for even technical support remote positions again but a focus on ones that provide all the benefits I want and the tech skills I can use.
>>101918686People that can't read deserve to have their entire race genocided for their specific transgressions.
>>101915824Is this based in California by any chance? It sounds familiar
>>101925554That being said, while you’ll enjoy Go more, I see more positions looking for Python experience. So make the decision based on what you want. I’ve got about 7 years experience as a software engineer and I’ve gone from a purely embedded C++ with C# .NET to DevOps role using python, golang, and bash. I prefer programming and golang has been the most “fun”. I learned a lot about cloud development from this new DevOps gay role, but I want to get back to programming so I’m actively looking elsewhere. It’s really up to you what you want to do and how much you are okay with using languages that suck (like python). Those choices will narrow your scope for potential jobs
Without getting into specifics, I was supposed to work on a project at work, and expected to put in extra (unpaid) hours, in order to train myself for an upcoming project.Management sold us this as a great learning opportunity and motivational tool.Not only I think this is a terrible idea for a team that is already burned out I also think that a proper training course would have been better because we've received pretty much zero guidance and assistance, and that this should have been done entirely on company time.I'm pretty sure everyone else feels the same but they are just putting a happy face.Now the thing is, I've done next to nothing and the deadline is a in a couple of weeks.This was just the final nail in the coffin to kill any motivation I had left here, so I think I'm just gonna take the hit and keep getting my paycheck as long as it lasts and accept the very first offer I get that feels even remotely interesting.Just venting, thanks for reading my blog.
>>101925392per my last reply, we WILL make sure to discuss this mishap on our upcoming sprint retro

>>101925786What technology? If it's really something you can benefit from by putting it on your resume I would try to do at least the minimal. That said I know that if you're burned out you're burned out.
I think my coworkers have figured out I'm retarded and are initiating the process to usher me out the door. Feels really bad man.
>>101925779Hey man, appreciate your feedback since you are doing what I kind of want to do.Lemme know what you think:I mess around with Linux and self hosting stuff on my personal computers at home so I am no stranger to deploying things.To be honest, I find the deployment and environment side of things, including the pipeline usage etc to be pretty interesting.Only thing holding me back from doing it at my actual job is a fat fuck who is way better at Typescript and .NET than me, and is the only deployment guy at work.I mention this because he is a fuckbag bully on PRs, but has calmed down a bit over the last few months.I've been out due to illness for the past few weeks, but honestly it's giving me a new perspective on things.I've been applying to these sort of jobs m since I have two years software dev experience (Typescript, React, C#) as well as three years technical support experience, lemme know if you think I am wasting my time applying for these, but I think my ADD is getting worse with age so I think I should pivot now before I get found out that I am somewhat of a hack / ok dev at best:- Developer Advocate- DevOps Engineer- Solutions Engineer- Site Reliability Engineer- Frontend Developer- Software Engineer- Cloud Engineer
>>101926093NuxtJSBut the think is I've been working with Vue for 3 years so this is not exciting or interesting at all to me, it just feels like more work
>>101926237You should do it. NextJS is as cutting edge as it gets. They are the single company pushing for changes when the industry was basically in a stranglehold by Facebook / Meta.It will only look good on your resume dude. No one cares for Vue. You're thinking about this in the wrong way.
>>101926267>>101926237I misread sorry. Lol there's a NuxtJS? How confusing.Yeah I see what you mean now. Stick with Vue and move on. I have never seen NuxtJS on a single job application description.
>>101926237>>101926267lol, also thought it's a typ0
>>101925786I spent years stringing along boomerkikes at a local company to let me teach myself fullstack when I wasn't working warehouse and then I got a six figure job and left them to implode. Everything is a lesson.
>>101926199It all depends on what other companies use for deployment. For me, everything is in AWS using Kubernetes, so it’s understanding cloud services, the Linux ecosystem and reading YAML. But at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is if you will be able to figure your way through something. I had 0 experience with cloud anything nor python/golang experience before getting the job. I had a friend help put in a good word and also emphasized that even though I lack the experience they’re specifically looking for, I know my one capabilities will help me rise to the occasion. Then it’s on them whether to take the chance or not. Good luck, anon. I’ve got a preliminary “are you weird” HR interview in a few hours today for a new role
>>101926267>>101926286>>101926237All Javascript is cancer and this is the reason you can't find a job. Infinity stinky refugees are learning Javascript. It's so fucking easy to learn a real full-stack lang and get a high-paying job with effective technologies intrinsically isolated from jeetslop. There are less of these jobs – obviously. That's the point.
>>101926199>I've been out due to illness for the past few weeks,At least they didn't fire you.
>>101920145>admitting being salty and a failure> get jewed by politics> still making good money> survived 4 layoffs> still keep this shithole online and the company away from lawsuits and bankruptcy > failureYeah sure, faggot
>>101926375Nice, I wish more people in my work life would hook me up like that too.Anyway, gotcha, I at least know to focus on Python and Go for now, maybe Kubernetes later too. Thanks man
>>101926375Forgot to mention, good luck dude. I haven't got any calls or interviews for months. Only one that got super far was a dev job near me, but I'm glad it didn't work out since it would have been more of the same bs anyway.
>>101925786As I see it, management prefers to have trench dogs with knowledge about their own systems rather than give their workers certifiable courses that will transform them into more competitive assets in the marketplace.
>>101926381Ok faggot, what full stack langs don't involve JS? Lemme guess, you're actually using Java like some third worlder Pajeet?
>>101926396They can't since I was out on medical leave from surgery. Nice try though.
>>101925936its a win win
I don’t have a vehicle to drive to work I’ve been working IT, networking, printer installation, etc, but apparently after Covid no one hires anyone who doesn’t have a car an I can’t get entry level work I got kicked out my family house because i promised a company that i would have a car in 6 months I just wanted to save for insurance then my family kicked me out because every time i tried to talk about lowering rent or splitting it with my sisters boyfriend who didn’t pay rent at the time So because that conversation would turn into arguments I had to leave for causing drama I’ve been in the shelter had someone bring me out of town to port Loring now I’m couch surfing. Any advice? I'm really feeling down right now, and don't know what to do.
>>101926709>Nice try though.I didn't try anything though? I wouldn't even know how to nor care to find a way to fire you from your job as a /g/ poster. There are places out there that fire people even after the first day of vacation and one place I worked at fired a CTO while he was on medical leave. Get off your high horse. You sound like a bitch.
All of my coworkers have realized I'm retarded. I don't know what to do. I want to quit out of embarrassment but I can't because I need the money. I feel like I humiliate myself every time I talk or have to ask a question. I didn't realize how dumb I am and how little knowledge I have about anything.
Why is everything done in the most retarded way possible. These brainlets reinvent every single wheel instead of taking 5 minutes to find and use an already existing solution
>>101926821just claim disability retard
>>101926697My stack? Chris McCord wrote the JS so I don't have to. My generated diffs are more efficient than your hand-optimized json payloads could ever dream of, and I drive everything seamlessly from an infinitely scalable message-passing-based, race-condition-proof, resilient, self healing virtual machine duty-proven and in active use by the biggest and most uptime-critical networks on earth.But yeah, anyone who's tired of dicking around with npm dependencies is a third worlder or whatever. Open your eyes – it's fun out here!Or you can stay in hell watching the Javascript infants slowly, painfully rediscover the last fifty years of computing history. Interactive Islands – what a great idea. lmao
>>101926887Just because I'm too dumb to be an engineer doesn't mean I can't work. The government will just tell me to work at Pizza Hut or something.
>>101926418> getting jewed by politics means the individual is a failure.Is that you, John? Must be embarrassing to have your ass booted after 6 months even after coming in with a VP title. They sure kicked your ass out of that ivory tower reaaaaaalllly fast, lmao.

>>101926821Don't quit. Milk it and stay there until you get on a PIP and then monkey branch off to another company. You got hired so you clearly know some things. Relax and just remember that every single coworker, every manager and boss you've ever had and ever will have is an enemy, so what they think matters very little versus what they do. They are there for you to take advantage of because when the chips are down it doesn't matter if you're a good worker or a nice person or whatever; they will fuck you over.
>>101926821I purposefully ask questions even though they might seem dumb, and I demonstrate that I'm a good listener and a fast learner by using that information effectively. The strongest engineers I've worked with fail fast early.
>>101926955There is no PIP for me I'm a contractor. I either sink or swim. And they know it.
>>101926989Ok but they get tired of answering my questions and showing me things. They all have this super whiz Big Bang Theory persona. If I ask too many questions they might not have a strong answer at some point, I think that's why they get annoyed. That and having to answer the same questions multiple times when I forget stuff (there's a lot to know)
>>101926900Man, I wish people were more informed about their rights.>Go to a doctor>Get papers saying you have something (adhd, autism, whatever you have)>Ask (demand) accommodations to employerIf they don't give you then you put a case against them, if they fire you then you can sue them and get $$$, any lawyer would do all the sue work pro-bono too (free of charge).
>>101926158i felt like that for awhile but somehow still employed. redditors might call this "imposter syndrome" but in actuality its "sucking ass syndrome" and you should be working proportionally hard to how much you suck to try and catch up. if your coworkers are actually good u wont catch up but at least u will get better
>>101927131just what the world needs, more evil lazy trash utilizing the medical system for a payday. stuff like this is just indirectly making life worse for everyone else.
>>101926813Not a bitch by any means, faggot.Anyway, I will be just fine. Just considering my options anyway.
>>101926893Lol Elixir. What a dumb meme lang
>>101926991You retard. Never do contract unless you know your shit.I hope you learned your lesson to stick to full time gigs.Contract shit is for 5 years+ exp most of the time. They don't expect you to learn. They expect you to do.
