Reposting since last thread died.
I'm looking for advice here anons. I've been working as frontend web dev for almost 5 years and I'm tired of it. Most of the time it's boring and I don't really like working with designers. I want to migrate to full stack or backend, but I'm not sure what language should I learn backend with. Going with JS allows me to focus on the actual backend stuff since I already know JS pretty well, then I could simply migrate this knowledge to another language if I have to.
>>
>>102574874
nigga js can be backend as well

next/nuxt has api routes built in. adonis is pretty neat too.

How over is it for me bros? How do I cope with the fact I’ll be a shitty code monkey for the rest of my life that’s probably no better than a jeet? Should I go back for my masters? Wtf do I do, rn I’m getting payed like 110k but I’ll never be skilled enough to make the big bux

I'm used to getting copypasted rejection letters, especially from large companies, but not AI-written ones.

I wonder if my application was even read by a human considering the reply was the next day and the rejection letter was by AI.

This is only a start-up company with 2 people, why would they have a fully automated application system?
How would AI even evaluate this application didn't ask for a CV or cover letter, only a link to a portfolio.

If they didn't really read it, it's ironic letter says "we appreciate the time you invested with us".

Do you think it's more likely a human reviewed it and got chat GPT to write a rejection letter or that it was auto-rejected?

>Should I go back for my masters?
No. Learn the basics for what technologies you'd rather be working with and exaggerate your experience to employers like everybody else.

what uncommon jobs i can take advantage or connect with a cs degree?
anything outside web/SE roles

>>102576647
>why would they have a fully automated application system?
Simple. They don't have money and ChatGPT is cheaper. You might not want to work with them.

I don't understand where are the jobs come from once the last remnants of good paying fields programming are decimated by the AI slop. The FED keeps parroting about how the a strong job market is fundamental for their monetary policy.

In retrospect, how long did we actually expect to be able to shart out express servers and react UIs while being ludicrously paid and not have it get automated?

I have zero interest in my job, I don't give a shit about the company and I dislike lots of people here.
The only reason I'm still here is because I can get away with slacking off most of the day.

Try learning current meme tech assuming you know how to do basic stuff like shart out CRUDware in a modern stack

Jeet manager is up my ass, I have a story this sprint to do functional testing on a ui and even though I @ this dude multiple times in our teams chat with the excel of all the tests I’m tracking, he still thinks I’m not doing shit. He’s now insisting to sit with me to go over all the shit I’ve done and to see what I still have pending. I swear to god I’m gonna RKO this dude and send him to jeet heaven, he straight up looks like pic rel

advice on first day of work?
the one I've always been told is to work 70% average and then when necessary go 100%
>>
I got my yearly 3% raise and 1k bonus today.

Why do I feel more unhappy with my pay now?
>>
>>102579422
I wonder why bro
most people have 10% bonus incentive
3% raise is not a raise btw, that's inflation prevention (inflation is actually higher)
>>
>>102579408
I work 30% and put in 60% during crunch. I'm not putting 100% unless it's an interesting new feature and I want to test myself. Of course this only works if you're a 10x dev, but basically match the velocity of your team or aim to be slightly above average.
>>
>>102574874
Backend JS is a meme and should never actually be used. It's fun to use for a quick startup, wire it up with whatever DB you want and play around. But if you're looking for professional opportunities, Java + Spring Boot is worth your time. I've also heard good things about Go, but unsure of the career opportunities.
>>
>>102579446
that sounds about right yeah, find the velocity of the team through stand ups and see where they're at and then average it out or go much less if they're bad (or you're really good), thanks anon

How can I go digital nomad with a heavy desktop machine? Shove my desktop into hardcase luggage in the overhead compartment? I'm probalby going to be unable to bring a monitor too and have to buy one over in the other country.
Will I get stopped for questioning for bringing a desktop? Will they try to search the files even though it's encrypted? Will they demand that I turn on the machine for them?
>>
>>102580191
Sure they are just where nobody wants to live
Its not cities where there is a nightlife or farmland with tacky mcmansions
But I also have spent the last 5 years of my life preparing to live in the 70s 2.0 so idk anon things were going to be miserable for a bit

Weekends make me sad.
I miss my work, and I study extra but I'm not paid for that. Also while I work I have excuse for not doing anything hobby, but on weekends I realize normies invaded my hobbies decade ago.

My team's repo going down for 2 weeks still haunts me. I mastered python scrapping and curl during that time and we did pretend my scripts were installing stuff from our repo instead from nginx that I did setup.

The place I'm working at wants us to run endpoint vulnerability scans every deploy, which seems retarded to me. Do developers normally do that? Seems like more of an ops thing. I'm used to using SonarQube and that just ran as part of the build
