Not really harder but more popular. For A+, and Net+ barely anyone takes those tests and most that do pass by covering the content and labs a few times. Sec+ is more of a hard requirement for government jobs so offering more resources to pass easily means he can get more word of mouth advertisements. His tests suck but its better then nothing.

Well even if there out of scope like when I was taking them it still gives you a better chance of passing then not. You need to use multiple resources and more importantly you need to find labs to do in order to pass properly I failed Net+ the first time since I was not using enough variety of labs.

there must be something you like to do in this world that you can at least monetize even if it only makes $100 a month.

but i get it, these days people generalize those who don't work in an office or factory a NEET. you're an indie gamedev? nah, you're a NEET. you're a music producer? nah, you're a NEET. you're a web novelist? nah, you're a NEET.[spoiler][/spoiler]

You could be working on a really sophisticated piece of software but if it never sells and nobody cares about it you're no different from a lowly NEET who jerks off to anime girls all day .

Unironically it will help because showing initiative looks good on the CV. Even if you proompted ChatGPT to write it all in Python (don't tell them that, obviously).

Just present it as a personal project, short description saying other existing options just didn't fit your specific use case, don't make it seem like anything special but do make it seem like you're the kind of guy who would make his fix his own problems.

I assumed the to-do list was more of an example, it can be any small program or other project to solve an issue. I assume someone applying for something more than a junior position would have something considerably more complex than a to-do list program.

Pajeets having it on their CV just means you'll stand out as not having it if you don't.

There hasn't been money printing for years, just borrowing money which you (the "US persons") are obligated to pay back because it was done in your name.

The government borrowing is way way worse than money printing. It's really no different than you doing a massive balance transfer on your credit card and then just giving all the cash away to foreigners. A lot of people don't understand this.

That's not how that works. The US's market economy came from its Anglo Saxon and common law roots. Those people were already a minority by y2k but they're really dying out now. As the people get replaced so do their ideas and the institutions and economy is looking more like those of India, Africa, and Mexico. There's no work ethic because the children of competent people see the place they're born into as foreign and being involved as antithetical to their goals.

Immigration (even skilled immigration) actually exacerbates and accelerates this. We're well passed peak US and it will probably be ground zero for the implosion.

I have no real deadlines, just vague shit I have to accomplish by the end of the quarter. What really fries me up is having to multitask a lot of stuff. I develop two areas of a project, but also have to solve ad-hoc bugs of company-wide tools I maintain. I am also shit. I am very forgetful. I don't outperform anyone. They keep me around because I'm le smart and somewhat of a knowledge silo, and my position is not attractive to candidates so they can't replace me. On the other hand I'm a college dropout so I dread being fired and left for dead in this market.

well, i essentially view it as the same because whether you borrow money or print it, you're just spending money you don't really have. it may not be money printing per se, but reasonably the only way any country with massive debt can really get out of it IS by printing tons of money to induce inflation, devalue that debt and then pay it back it. though idk how that works with EU

>>102228472
eh, ethnicity and culture come into it but america still is very strongly "american" in a lot of respects. you might not really perceive it if you are american yourself, but american culture and values tend to overpower any other cultural influence more so than what happens in other western countries.

i think the US will also deteriorate, but much less so than other countries because of the advantages it has over them. and because it has those advantages, it will likely have an easier time consolidating all the recently-made-redundant but able workforce around the world around its own borders. and i have a hard time imaging that any trained professional would want to stay in economically paralyzed europe, and essentially be a wageslave to support a sick, old retired populace, when they can just emigrate to the states with other young people and actually have somewhat of a shot at life.

I am glad that I decided to use the toolset my company does in order to learn programming and troubleshooting problems.

If I can solve the problems on my pc, I can solve it on a server or client's notebook.

That said, for those Germany inhabiting locals:
There is a new equivalent for the bachelor and master in computer science, but more practical.
They are called bachelor professional and master professional respectively.

Do you think they are degrees or efforts worthwhile to increase the chance to immigrate out of Germany, or do I have to stick to the bachelor degree first?
If I do make it with my investments, in my dreams of course, I could just as well pay for staying a legal immigrant elsewhere and study there.

But a punching bag can only dream.

There is a fakeness that penetrates every aspect of my life and my job feels emblematic of it
I work a fake job on a unnatural machine solving fake problems
I fill out a obscure made up ticket, a forgery of real work, made by a fake management position in order to appear productive and justify my useless job
My social status and how people treat me hinges on the fake money I get from this. I have a house and nice car? I am good and people like me. I don't have X toy or Y watch? I am not a good and interesting person. I traveled to Z place and ate food there? Now I am interesting and worthy of being treated like a person
My company and city? An inorganic group of strangers brought together for the sole purpose of making money and repeating the cycle
The city is a bustling ghost town where you see no faces only these emotionless machines used to transport people from A to B. There are no places to just exist. You must have a reason for being somewhere or you have to leave
People's psyche shaped by fake problems from some political topic that they would never think about had it not been blasted into their brain from the internet
I just feel like had I been born in another time, it would make more sense. I would work to survive and solve real problems surrounded by nature and my family and friends. No fake status symbols like cars or houses at least not to the scale it is now just life

I've been preparing for an upcoming one by watching videos, reading architecture blog posts and article, then drawing the diagrams and working through examples myself. I feel like I am decently prepared, but then I realized I have no idea what the interview format will be. Like, will the interviewer just grill me for an hour about random topics? Will I be expected to draw stuff? It's an interview on Zoom but I guess whiteboarding is possible on online applications.

Asked the question in /dpt/ but nobody seems to be in there right now so I'll ask again here. Also my post in DPT has alot of typos anyway.

Context: I tried to start a business from the years 2020 to 2022 before I got my first software engineering job in 2023.

My question: Can I use the failed business as work experience in my resume? Technically I'd put myself as a "fullstack developer" for my role in the "company".

The website is here:

In my current resume I just have it as a "project" saying its just "forum-software"

You've basically described any government IT role
Salaries are crap but one of the only benefits they offer is a massive massive pension.
And as they're entirely geared towards mediocracy, because its not their money they're burning (and if they run out they just beg for more (see: NHS)), they attract the laziest, fattest, spastics you can imagine (who will naturally die an early death and not collect that pension)


We can do salary sacrifices in private companies to get more in our pensions, which does drop your taxable income below the threshold.
Just one issue though: I NEED THAT FUCKING MONEY NOW TO BUY A HOUSE!!

Pensions are all a ponzi scheme by the way, including in America.

It took them legitimately 6 months to figure themselves out and have me in for an interview. No amount of networking would have solved that.

Reminds me of something I haven't thought about in a while. Before getting my first job I was incredibly worried about whether or not I would be able to handle it. I'd read too many plebbit posts from people saying "just got hired, everything is too fast-paced and I can't get help and I'm crying in the bathroom right now wondering when they're going to fire me."

Maybe the past four years have been an extremely extended Dunning Kruger "Mount Stupid", but it only took me two weeks to figure out that typical webdev CRUD work is mindlessly easy and that most of my junior level coworkers are genuinely retarded for finding it difficult.

If you're in a relationship an all male team feels awesome. Everyone is competent and you all have a goal that you're capable of.

That's how life is supposed to be. You do awesome stuff at work and come home and enjoy your family. I had that for a little while. It's worth more than anything else.

>He didn't make himself immensely successful to the point that he was drowning in Asian women
People think I've got yellow fever (I do) but it's more that Asian women are the only ones willing to give me the time of day as a socially awkward highly successful engineer. you don't need to have "game". You just need a good career and they'll flock to you.

how am i so fucking smart and competent and basically the best programmer to ever live? i'm an unironic 10xer

you are built different. we're a superior form of life. we should be the ones in charge (and we should get to have all the sex we want)

What did you do?

>>102233360
there's 1 attractive female who comes to the office, you can see how the men are simping and talking to her
of course she has a boyfriend which makes it even more pathetic to see

That's not what I meant I've met plenty of retarded men. There's a certain kind of comradery that you get with men though. Also I've never met a competent female SWE. Plenty of decent middle managers but never an actual SWE.

Other professions usually have some form of down time. Like a bus driver waiting to start the next cycle, no customers in the store, whatever. But as a dev you're supposed to be thinking and solving things all day every day. How is that fair?

solved multiple issues which had been present for 2+ years which people with 10+YOE were somehow unable to fix

company has had open positions for data eng for two years, they found no one, they don't want to hire the intern that has been here for more than a year because too junior, meanwhile our team is overwhelmed and dying while management is still hoping to find that one senior unicorn. 2 fucking YEARS
>>
>>102233746
Sorry sweetie, we don't look at resumes with less than 5 years experience. Better luck next lifetime.
>>
>>102233754
>meanwhile our team is overwhelmed and dying
not your problem. stop trying so hard. they'll figure it out pretty quick after that
>>102233760
i don't want a new job i like my current one. i just needed to share with everyone here how fucking amazing i am

monetizing anything without a network OR existing capital to get it shoved in every normie's face is literally lottery odds
this applies to everything from the hot dog cart to your vidya pipedream. You need people's attention and the poorer you are the more invisible you are. The most invisible being of course the homeless.
>>
>>102233746
>Unable
If the company wanted those issues fixed they would pay more money. You are not built different. You're a chronic wagie doing work nobody paid you to do. Stop doing this before you're at 10 years of experience balding from stress chasing the promotion that's never coming.
>>
I'm so fucking tired I'd actually welcome a lay off.
>>
>>102233813
i'm not stressing myself out lol. i enjoy the work. if i didn't, i would find another job. i don't even have to try hard. that's why i think i must be a genius. if i can manage this without even trying particularly hard, i really must just be that good

I find it funny that western elites are trying to replace the chinese with indians.
I mean, I get it, capitalism needs to expand and renew itself, and for that companies need to train new, cheaper workers
but it's like the elites don't realize they will end up destroying their own people, maybe including themselves in the process lmao

>>102233844
Anon, everyone "enjoyed the work" when we started. Eventually you'll be a senior or staff level where maybe 20% of the job is any actual programming. You're not going to enjoy it for long. Find a work ethic that doesn't involve being your employer's little cuck that does extra work for no reason. You can ignore me if you like but other experienced anons will tell you the same. The rewards are exactly the same regardless of if you let them fuck your butt. So don't let them fuck your butt.

300 is the bump limit

>>102234168
it's 310 on /g/
>>
>>102234178
aaaaand done
>>
>>102234328
Also, fyi to everyone, the 310th reply doesn't bump
>>
>>102234399
it does, but i made sure to not bump it out of politeness, since there was a new thread already :)
>>
>>102234440
It doesn't, unless it's a per-board setting and /g/ is different from other boards. I've done multiple tests and observations on it.
>>
>>102234463
really? i was pretty sure it did. but i usually have threads sorted by last reply, so i guess i could just be mistaken
>>
>>102234487
Sometimes on other boards, when an idiot early bakes, I'll watch the previous thread fall through the pages and then sage post in it to get it over the limit. When the reply count says 309, I'll make the last post. I've tried making that post both with and without sage, and in neither case does it get bumped to page 1.
