>>102246438
We're staring down the barrel of a major recession, quite possibly a depression. At the same time government and private debt is at all time highs so spending will have to be cut everywhere and prices and taxes will continue to go up.

No 2025 will not be a good year but if you have cash you might be able to make 2027 pretty great.

Every 10 years they try this and every 12 years they get fucked for it and every 13 years they hire back a new generation of American engineers to fix the disaster the Indian teams caused. Just be patient and you'll double your salary cleaning up the needful.

Why does everything have to be all this distributed crap? Our local machines are larger than these VMs they give us, just let us do it there instead of forcing us to share all this fragile broken infrastructure.

Nothing is in the barrel for nationwide strategy regarding tech. Optimism is low. So the industry will, at best, maintain its current status of stagnating.

The anon here >>102246466 is overly pessimistic, there are no major factors like a banking crisis of lending (2008) or major pandemic scare (2020) to drive an economic pullout, it costs money to go from leveraged position to a liquid one and bet against the market, individuals and firms decide on their own but nothing central is driving all hands to make the same pullout decision at the same time.

Something new would have to come up in order to improve or worsen the status quo of uncomfortable equilibrium and quiet suffering. I wouldn't bet on something new because the populace has no appetite for another scare of sickness no matter how strong the fearmongering is, and countries are facing government leadership shakeups worldwide so they're not focused on any national strategy, only accomodation of and appeal to the masses. Popularity of leaders gives political capital which empowers decisionmaking which compels unpopular, disastrous, and often deadly decisions. Cheer for unpopularity and political competition because it distracts power brokers from making our lives worse.

Taxes are going to have to go up *a lot* and spending is going to have to be cut *or* interest rates are going to go out of control which will create a financial crisis. It doesn't matter who's in the government, this is what's going to happen next year.

Please don't ask me any questions. You're literally beside two seniors. You also literally knew the answer.

>>102246673
I've been hearing this for years. Another year will go by and you will predict the next year for some massive collapse. Do you have any capacity for self-reflection? Have you been making wrong calls for years like your peers? Everyone's lives are slowly getting worse, nothing has been expedient, nothing has come quickly to disrupt the world economy. Indicators can flash big red scary signs but the market participants are the ones that decide to get out or get in, and like I said, nothing is compelling a uniform direction among participants. When states were implementing business lockdowns, people like you were blissfully unaware because indicators were all green, and the market decided that the risk was too great under national strategy and pulled out, then came back in when Congress approved funding for relief of damages. These are the actual collapse factors that you should've learned from, they are rare enough that you can count them on one hand, clear enough that you can learn from them, and consistent enough that you can draw a trendline. But you just shout the world is ending, wrongly, over and over. I don't blame you because you get quietly punished and no one but you is affected. You continue to not learn from reality and that's fine, it's your life and your money.

I don't know where you guys have been at but we have been in a recession. Just because Biden's administration changed the definition - once recession conditions were met - to make themselves look good doesn't change a thing.

Find a woman in her 30s and ask about it on the first day. Early 30s obviously. These are the ones that want them badly. If you're focused on the young ones that will never work unless you're willing to wait. You also need to have the money to support children.

>>102246718
I could never picture myself with kids until my early 30s. Now I can't imagine what life would be like without them. The pure happiness your own children bring you isn't something you can get on a beach or in a nightclub. I feel sorry for the people who choose not to have them. Their own self-centredness is ironically costing them the happiness they spend their lives looking for.

>>102246839
Find a woman in her early 30s then. Gonna warn you, you don't want them. They also expect you to have everything ready for them to move in and your money to spend.

Then you'll never have kids. Women in their 20s generally aren't looking to be pumped full of babies. If you want a baby that badly you need to know your audience. The women looking for babies are the single women in their early 30s that still have some time.

>>102246929
Well they're more than likely the only ones that want children right now. Women 18-25 don't really want them now. 25-29 they're teetering but most are still on the no side. 30+ and their clock goes nuts.

It's important in order to get an interview. You also need a public portfolio of work to speak to. I was immediately hired to my current role because in the week leading to my interview, I started and finished a project relevant to the company's line of work and immediately opened the conversation (before any of their questions) talking about the project. The hiring manager was loudly impressed by my initiative and I was given an offer 5 minutes after the call on unanimous decision from the hiring board. For clarification, I didn't do the project as work for the company and the company didn't incorporate the project at all, this is something I chose all the parameters for and did completely on my own so that I had relevant material to bridge the gap with the interviewers immediately.

Be reborn and remember that college was never for the piece of paper. You were supposed to get drunk with your classmates and become friends and then when they get job offers they recommend you and vice versa.
It's why companies are filled with jeets. Not because they're super talented. But because they recommend all of their friends.
Alternatively go to local meetups and conferences and network through there.

You have absolutely zero say in this, if she doesn't want kids she'll never have any, if she ever feels like it she'll dump your ass and find a man who will want the same thing. You're not convincing her of doing anything, she decided that and you're forced to oblige.

IMO there never was any meritocracy. Software is always cultural expression and a lot of the judgement of "good" vs "bad" software is really just more about culture (like "good" vs "bad" music) than anything else. That's why software in eg Asia looks very different from software in the West. Their culture is different and so their objectives are different.

I got a little thrown off and maybe a bit cold towards the end of the call because the way this unfolded is I was running the deploy, sharing my screen, and the 3 critics were typing away in the chat instead of just talking to me...idk kinda felt ostracized for suggesting we try to understand if we can improve/do better. I'm gonna talk with my manager about it soon enough (actually he was one of the team members) but curious /g/s thoughts on handling this.

I'll say that I think I am generally prone/willing to call things out on our work that are less than ideal but I don't think I do too much or in a way that is offensive to anyone on the team or would put them down.

Bros I am at an impasse...

7 months ago I got hired as a code monkey for some no name government contractor that works with US Navy. It has taken that long for me to get to a point where I can functionally begin doing work for the project that I am assigned to but I have slowly realized in the 7 months of living the NEET experience and getting paid for it that I have no passion and am filled with dread at even contributing to the old as shit internal navy web tool that I am assigned to. There is no dev ops pipeline so pushing and changes goes as follows:

>Make code changes
>Upload changed files to remote server via WinSCP file transfer

The thought of having to contribute to this old ass ugly ass website fills my soul with dread. I feel like I am actively harming my career by working for this place, what the fuck do I do? I have been spending my hours NEETing teaching myself Angular for months because it was easy enough for me to pick up on but I can't find new work. I have 2 years of experience not counting the time that I have work here and I haven't really gained any new job experience since I have started.

This. The piece of paper doesn't mean shit and I almost regretted going to school after graduating and getting that first job on referral. But the value of college is being in close proximity with a bunch of people that should be successful in the future. If you form relationships with them then it's a life long benefit. In my wife's case she's still paying off the business school loans but she's friends with people that are CEOs and directors at huge companies. That's we'll worth the debt.

Supposedly sure. But I got laid off last year and the referrals didn't mean shit. I ended up finding a job on my own. Maybe the practice collaborating was good put you don't need college for that, just subscribe to an open source mailing list and start sending patches.

Thanks for the reply.
I don't think it's anything serious, and thankfully they were dumb enough to put it all in writing in the chat history, but it's just the feeling od of "let's make a joke out of this serious comment" in front of my face/in the chat/them smiling and typing away while I am literally just doing the work and make a technical comment that's just kinda frustrating and yeah bitch-like.

Not a big fan of my second level/manager'e manager for various reasons but I think he'd be disappointed in how this went. Maybe I'll bring it up with him next time we chat

that's not a recession, it's a correction

>>102247728
You US guys are still lucky. I live in Germany and we are really in a recession but our left-wng government is totally retarded and not doing anything anymore. They are literally waiting for the next election to happen.

>>102247753
We we definitely had a correction in 2022/2023 and the layoffs were lagging that. The question is: was that enough to deal with all the bad stuff or is there still deeper rot in the economy.

>>102247694
the actual goal of communism is a planet with no governments and no states - at least not the way we know them.
the goal of capitalism is to keep things as they are, because states/governments are the best way to keep the populace quiet and indoctrinated, and the interests of different groups of capitalists well balanced and well distributed.
politicians, though? they are part of the bread and circuses scheme, no matter if they call themselves communists, conservative, liberal, socialdemocrats...

So 3 of my coworkers have recommended that I take a break after getting laid off and that I did not immediately start looking for another job, unless money was a real issue. I was very surprised since I was under the impression that the goal was to keep going from jobs to other jobs and never take breaks. They said that doing this helped them not burn out.

>>102247771
No states means mass migration from third world countries to here and this will end us for good.

I did this a few times and it was great. A few months of NEETing was enough to see things in perspective.

>>102246879
Typical story.

>>102247808
Absolutely not, that would create hirarchy and discriminate against the new "under class" which isn't allowed. Internationalism and intersectionalism is a core component of communism. It's directly opposed to nationalism.

That's why the anarchists and communists call their enemies nationalists and fascists even when they want "normal" things.

>>102247868
Late Soviet Union was definitely not communist but the original idea was "communism in one country first." Then they gave up and came to the US because it turned out capitalism was a much better vehicle for bringing about global democracy than the soviet war machine was.

>>102247845

So how does this go? Isn't it awkward? I mean I did want to stay but my company's budget decided differently, I'd like to keep in touch with my coworkers but I don't want them to feel bad for me because I became unemployed either.

>>102247771
Anarchy doesn't work because humans are inherently opportunistic. Not greedy, opportunistic. If there's an opportunity to take advantage of a flaw in the system and make a profit for yourself, people will do it. So you need an authoritarian government to make sure such a person is spotted and corrected.

Sounds like just an issue with perspective. It sounds like the real issue here is that it just wasn't what you expected.
I mean, the process and tech choices are gross and outdated but that's going to be true in most places for most people. For example, you can find people in this thread alone that think Git sucks (and I somewhat agree with them). You can still learn a lot in these environments, even if it's examples of what you shouldn't do. Personally I like old tech because you learn a lot of things that died for good reason but reappear in modern languages as some sort of groundbreaking feature. Are there better places you could work for in terms of your career/resume? Sure. But nothing is going to look worse than just being unemployed. I'd just clock in, do the bare minimum, and spend the couple hours you can steal back to do shit you actually care about. This is what I personally did back in the day (my work was all Adobe ColdFusion trash while I taught myself C++ on the side)

>>102248006
alright listen, force yourself to smile constantly, you don't have to speak a lot, people will absolutely tolerate you not being a big talker as long as you LOOK nice. So you smile, force yourself to laugh, be positive, don't be scared to go near your teammates so you don't stand there alone, they will likely try to make you feel comfortable and have you join in their conversations.

I'm not following what you're asking. `result` starts off uninitialized, it's then set to true (which implicitly casts to 1), and then it's set to false (which implicitly casts to 0).

Europe is a dead continent with stagnating ideas getting outclassed by literal third world shit holes and their only way to stay relevant is to combine into one giant block. Remove the EU from the equation and you've got France and Germany trying to hold together a bunch of worthless backwaters.
Not to mention it's those "European ideals" that invited all the brown people in the first place. But "muh heritage"

Its a gigantic company and its really easy to just get lost in the mix. It really depends on your manager since thats the person youll work with the most. I work external with a client and its pretty easy work, and NTT actually supports and encourages remote work when able. Pay is pretty much average and benefits are meh but again remote is the norm at the company.

I hear the internal guys get more shit (and we merged with another huge company so its possible internal guys will be made redundant)

The codebase is 20 years old and making my own changes like for fun is out of the question, everythign is a very documented and regimented process.

But like I did literally maybe 1 hour of work today. Just sat at my desk staring into space the rest. It has been like this since I started.

Individual economists might have guessed and been right. But if economists as a category were right about predicting recessions then they would all be wealthy, they would have accurate predictions about macroeconomics, and recessions probably wouldn't happen or would at least be less significant. But all of these things are either demonstrably untrue or unverifiable.

I know in order to progress in my career regardless i have to learn a lot social skills, not just technical skills. I'm 23 and i still looking for a job. I do have 12 months of internship experience as a QA tester, but that was unpaid and i have to do 4 hours of commute. My deepest fear is having a job like that again. I don't want that. Im studying leetcode and working on some react / laravel project on my portfolio. I hope i can get a job in 2025 and stick in that company for at least 2 years before looking for something better. I know i have to make my presence known and respected, and to do that i have to learn fast and ditch any time for hobbies that are constructive. I can exercise, watch movies, or play video games at home but i feel like that's turning me into a nobody who is just a salaryman. If i don't have my own audience on social media from making art or posting game development logs, I'm a nobody. If i don't write a blog on substack, I'm a nobody. But what can i do? Workhours takes a significant portion of the week, not to mention the commute.

Out of morbid curiosity, of those who can work from home and have to do it into the evening: Have you ever drank several beers while doing so?
I am very tempted, even though I only had two so far. But I just want to see how many I can drink before I start typing nonsense in the code base.

ok let's be clear you have a <<<50% chance of pulling this off. try talking about your hobbies but when he doesn't bite then cut your losses and unironically try POLITICS. you need a high variance strategy.

I don't see it happening (and I've got roughly a mil directly in there so feel free to laugh at my expense if I'm wrong). I just don't have faith in society to really stop monopolies anymore. It seems far more likely to me that the price continues to get driven down until the right people decide they'll buy back into it.

>>102251268
Talk about vocaloids.

>>102251259
The source is all you need, given enough time. What's really bad is when they won't give you the source and management STILL doesn't care. I've had to deal with that.

No, I almost became alcoholic right before covid but alcohol is fucking poison. I drink at most a few times a year.

>>102251270
Oh shit, that's a really good point.
Thankfully I am too much of a lazy shit to clock back in to catch up on things outside of regular work hours lol

>>102251384
how do you numb yourself in the empty hours?

>>102251374
yeah his gatekeeping the access to his shitty source code. anyways my new manager decided to essentially rewrite that shitty app with our product owner's approval. he is really holding the project hostage. i dont understaand why he isn't fired. nobody wants to work with him.

What does one do to network at a meet up or conference? Do go roll up to some bloke and talk shop or is there more nuance? What is the process?

>>102251405
Gardening and personal projects but it's hard, life sucks. I have ptsd from something that happened and if I kept using alcohol to numb the pain I'd just be drunk 24/7 and fall apart.

Use your time to do literally anything that makes money. This is attractive to employers but more importantly will prove to yourself that you don't need to work a conventional job to survive. Your post reads like your perception of the world is that you NEED to make yourself attractive to get anywhere. "Get a job in 2025 and work there for at least 2 years" is like the people who think they need to find a wife in college because afterwards it'll be impossible.

I do this sometimes. Last week I got very drunk and posted some random bagpipe music to our slack.

It's finally scrolled off, I think I got away with it.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int tempture = 66

cout << "when Anya has her mouth open, she's telling me to ";
if (temperature > 80) {cout << "insert ice cube";}
else {cout << "insert toy.";}
return 0;
}

>>102251229
I do this like every day and have done so for years. You just need to know yourself. I don't have a history of lashing out or saying fucked up shit or being racist or anything even when blackout drunk, so I don't worry about it. It's never hurt the quality of my work because programming just isn't that hard. The worst parts of the job are the non-programming parts.

>Hi nice to meet you I'm (insert name)

>Wow that's interesting, please tell me more about (industry)
>(Insert small talk)
After a few minutes
>I'd love to stay connected, would it be alright to connect with you on LinkedIn?
Add them and the next day send a follow up message
>Hi (person) thanks for adding me. I enjoyed our conversation about (whatever). (Blah blah formalities) If you know of any openings I would greatly appreciate you considering sending them my way. Regardless I hope to stay in touch. Best regards (your name)
Repeat this with as many people as you can.

The European state loves jews (because it's run by them.) The actual European people are not jew fans.

>>102251719
letting jews run the place because some felt bad about hitler wasn't the best idea

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << ">>102251702 \n";
cout << "wish I could say I did this off memory. Sadly no. I gotta start practicing if else and if else if else comes to memorize.";

>>102251757
They were already running everything when Hitler showed up. He was the one saying maybe that was a bad idea.

They work 2 retail jobs to make that work since there not getting more then 30 hours from any retail job. Managers higher up the chain tend to make decent money but you need a degree and ambition to do so, which as a we know is lacking in society.

>>102252082
doesn't change what i said. it's money to live off and uber isn't a conventional job
unless you're telling that anon to do something technical like freelance for money. which, is possible

>>102252156
I am just stating my observations. Got to be realistic. DICE recruiting website while shit does have alot of freelance jobs on the market that many people can apply too. You should be flexible in this job market however so any side money is good money.

>>102252304
>I am just stating my observations. Got to be realistic.
nothing more realistic than taking a shitty dead end gig job to live off of
if something is worth doing "for a bit of extra spending cash" someone out there is gonna be doing it for a living

>>102251268
Anyone that senior is likely to have good (though maybe entirely-practiced) social skills. They'll do the heaving lifting as far as conversation matters. You only have two jobs: (1) when you answer his questions, give him something to work with, and (2) when there's a pause, ask it back. That's it. Do not worry about doing the heavy lifting. After enough drinks it'll all come effortlessly.
Which reminds me: drink a ton. As an alchie myself there's nothing worse than being out with someone who doesn't want to partake. Do some alchie reps before then if you need to build a tolerance.

how often do you guys having to edit photos / videos on your PC? what free software would you recommend? do i really have to pirate after effects?

Yes, on slow days. But 1-2 light beers.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
for (i = 0, i < 1, ++i) { cout << "okay I know how to write a loop. But I don't know what it means. What does the ++i mean? Why did they go for the word for instead of the word loop?;}
return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
for (i = 0, i < 1, ++i) { cout << "oh wait nevermind. The ++i is just a funny mathematical formula. It sucks I already forgot the lesson on ++ and -- numbers.;}
return 0;
}

Am I a fraud of a SWE, or should I take the opinions of the senior that was hired this year - that the management is a shitshow and there's a lot of tech debt landmines - seriously and not be so hard on myself?

go make a startup if ur so smart

I'm scared that if I start working from home I'll be surveyed and even after I finish work and what I browse in my free time. I heard large companies like microsoft and AWS already do this. How bad is it?

>>102253237
I'm at a medium sized company (250ish headcount), and they love their productivity monitoring spyware. Tiktok product managers fucked it for all of us, and I don't think there's any going back.

>>102253237
i dont worry about it i am pretty sure i've been naked and said nigger infront of my webcam and in mic range many times

anyone here work in a data center or know someone who worked in a data center for FAGMAN? I started as a technician earlier this year and am wondering where things can go from here. money is decent working in japan but im hoping to move back to the states eventually and don’t want to be earning 60k with everything so absurdly expensive over there.

>>102253237
You can always get a separate computer that you physically turn off when you aren't working. Booting into a separate partition might work too.

>>102253237
>>102253369
If they don't give you a company workstation or laptop, it's probably a shitshow.

>>102253071
I hear the same thing from everyone on my team and also frequently feel like I'm a fuck up, but apparently the leads/PO/manager have been incredibly complementary about me to other people (my old team). I would say that the lead is probably telling the truth, and you are probably doing fine.

>>102253237
lol they don't do that.

As long as you hit your deliverables and attend all required meetings I'm convinced no one gives a shit. If they want to boot you out they'll use one of any dozen shitty reasons anyway, so why even worry?

I'm tired of my company and pretty miserable, so I'm thinking of job hopping.

Is LCing the most important thing? Or should I grab an AWS or Azure cert over the next few months?

>>102253604
There's two parts: getting the interview, and passing it. Only focus on LC if you can already get interviews.

let's say i do leetcode and make portfolio then pass interviews then got a job, then what? what should i do after clocking out for the day? okay, go to the gym. then what? make dinner. take a shower. then what? you say nobody will care about my substack or social media. then what? what then? do chores for my mom and dad?

>>102254128
If you have the job then who cares? You can use your time on substack or social media or w/e else you want. Just don't expect it to help future job searches.
