I have my vacation soon(tm). How the fuck do I trick my brain to doing some work before I leave? I'm so burnt out bros but I can't seem to get any motivation to finish my projects before I leave.

... I could have done that too now I'm going to look like a chump

Should devops specifically even exist as its own role? Why cant I just write the scripts for deployment for my own team, fumb nigger company

I think of this post every day

>>102321449
devops is what happens when your org is too fucking cheap to hire the necessary amount of people

boomercorp i work at suddenly made a complete 180 on AI shit, and is now fully shilling their own GPT model + offering copilot to everyone.
how does this even happen? I'm not complaining, just surprised they went from "IF YOU USE ANY AI SHIT YOU'RE FIRED" to "PLEASE USE AI AS MUCH AS YOU CAN" overnight.

Learning how to act like an egotistical windbag is part of the process of adapting to the workforce

how fucked up is this?
My boss fired a guy last week, but he still wants to be friendly so he created a Signal group with all of us and my boss in it and is giving us daily updates on his job search and my boss is being nice and responding.

>>102321269
Baby steps. If finishing a project seems like too much work ask your brain to do tinier and tinier tasks until it agrees to one

>>102322134
It's more of my tasks have been so abstract, my boss doesn't know what his boss wants and I don't either. I feel like I'm playing league of legends and I'm grinding in the farming phase but nobody's giving any sign to push or anything and I'm constantly confused on who's handling what in our projects.

now I can see why people say PMs are fucking useless lmao.

I've been in this field for 6 years
I looked at other introductions and nobody else did that.

Started my new remote job last week and all I have done is read documents and complete training. I have spent the first 3 hours of the day reading manga and playing minecraft.

So do I go back for my last two years to get a CS degree, or do I get something else like economics?

Anyone dealing with try-hard GenZ new-hires/juniors?

This one kid on my team just _does not_ stop working. Zero friends or hobbies modulo programming and "looking smart"

Just last night he replied to an email at 3 AM (responding to Euro team) and then this morning at 6 starting emailing me about what architectural choices he should make

>online on Slack from 6 to 10 minimum, daily, including weekends
>constantly "reaching out" to everyone above him, I assume so he's "seen" and "recognized"
>puts entire team under constant stress, including our manager and skip level, because he has no off button
>bringing culture and morale of entire team down by being a retarded incel
>despite constantly "reaching out", has never taken advice or criticism from senior team members seriously
>can constantly be found spinning his tires off in the weeds doing some stupid ass side project that nobody asked for
>most recently wrote a python script to read an API definition .yml file and generated .cc files with HTTP handlers written as regular expressions
>sure, cool man, but nobody asked for that, and why the fuck would you introduce the runtime overhead of regexs when you're just parsing URIs from a yaml file? you could just copy the string literal from the yaml to the C++ HTTP handler...
>thinks he's some prodigy programmer because he's fresh out of a 4 year dual BS/MS program
>basically a bull in a china shop, unable to be managed or guided
How the fuck do I deal with this retard? We all simultaneously hate him and pity him since he's so new to the industry.

So HR sent my manager my info and CC'ed me on my second day and he hasn't contacted me. Should I wait to message him until he introduces me to the team?
IT was surprised I set up some of my local programs and completed my hr training on my first day too.
I kind of like this pace because everyone seems laid back
I'm not used to this so I don't want to look like a spazz

Did you read my post?

>>>despite constantly "reaching out", has never taken advice or criticism from senior team members seriously


>>>basically a bull in a china shop, unable to be managed or guided

>>102322365
Don't worry the kid will burn out eventually and jump ship to a new company. I was the same way in my first year in this career and everyone ignored me or responded with the smallest replies, I learned that I didn't have to work as hard and quieted down. Now I don't do shit lol

>>102322450
The fuck else are you gonna do?

>>102322365
crop dust his work area
he might be too autistic to complain and just quit

>>102322554
Yeah here's the thing: he has somehow managed to negotiate a full remote position while the rest of us are office-cucks. He also comes from old money -- has a giant cabin on a few acres in the Rockies and another home in San Diego courtesy of mom and dad. He has literally zero reason to invest this much effort into a wagecuck sweng job.

>tl;dr i'd dust him up if I could

>>102322594
kek exactly the archetype I was imagining
a coddled privileged kid who has never been told no or struggled with anything

>>102322365
You have to weaponize his autism or give him BS special projects. In law enforcement they have these types work on Jon Doe's case file.

Reminder that coasters get pip'd
If you're:
>only working for 1-2 hours a day
>only focusing on jira tickets
>not looking for additional ways to generate value
>not being proactive in scheduling meetings
>not doing demos to your team
>not aggressively maintaining relationships with your skip
>not proactively paying for certifications and then filing reimbursements later
Then chances are you're on the road to a pip.
You're also very unlikely to ever advance beyond entry level.
This isn't a lounge around and soak up the sunshine industry. You must grind or else you'll be left in the dust.

I have an end user that wants to use features on our software that we haven't enabled and she needs it STAT.

I fucking hate these types of scenarios because in my mind it's as easy as toggling a button and I really don't give a shit but if she messes up or audit or whatever fucking gets on my ass, I'm going to lose it. We rushed a feature for her once and now she's fucking up my marbles to get this one released.
Holy fuck I'm about to go to my boss and lock this shit and start having an intake form for new features and stuff like that. I need a better procedure because this "can I, can I not?" is driving me insane.

>>102322700
>>not being proactive in scheduling meetings
>>not aggressively maintaining relationships with your skip
these are really the only two things that matter. the entire global economy is fake down to the worker level. if you want raises, recognition, promotions, just be likeable and make sure management hears your voice and sees your face. let the autistic dork incels worry about "generating value".

>>102322752

how do you guys deal with

>meaninglessness associated with your jobs
>managers you argue with about the order of slides in a fucking powerpoint

I've been essentially making a PowerPoint presentation for 3 months now, and I want to die. I'm currently looking for a new gig outside of software. I'm thinking IT Support cus I want to help people.

>>102322752
My old company had the same retarded shit. New features requested directly to the devs and expected asap. It's the jeets fault for always saying "yes sir we can do it", and now everyone suffers. You need a product team between you and the end user to stop this shit.

My first two years in tech were the best.
Fuck around in terminals. Read some documentation to try and deploy a thing. Get frustrated, call it a day, and try again tomorrow.
Do a couple of tickets a week.
It all goes to shit so fast after that though. Tech isn't a new industry but it really feels like nobody really understands how anything should work, but the only goal companies have is to get that VC investment cheque.
I dunno, my dad worked in tech in the 80s and 90s and routinely drank on the job and had 2 hour lunches. You'd literally get fired on day 2 for trying to pull that today.

>>102322700
It's not about your work, it's about the perception of your work. It's also about business decisions and hidden motives outside your control.

You have power too, if you choose. I don't work hard and I also don't care about getting fired, I have connections in competitor businesses (family members and old coworkers) who would pick me up in a heartbeat if I ever asked. This is how a tech worker insulates themselves from the rat race, make connections idiot, especially if you have a specialized experience set.

I could see the job market recovering from the current high interest rates in a couple of years, not a bad bet.

how do i cope working for businesses for money when i need money or else ill die but the government takes my money and fucks me in the ass but i need that little bit of money to raise my happiness meter a little bit so i don't get soul crushed by corporations which are in cahoots with the government to fuck the middle and lower class so fucking hard. how has nobody fucking gone crazy and pull a tyler durden yet
