maybe i should change careers. somebody in another thread said that military bases have a lot of milfs but i don't want to get blown up. i need more ideas for woman-dominated fields where there are a bunch of 40-something mommies who wear comfortable yet stylish office slacks and don't check their ass for panty lines before they leave the house for the day

if AI destroys all white collar work and i never again see frumpy mom panty lines showing through khakis i will kms

Look, in as big a weeb as the next guy but the dream of Japan is done. They've stagnated since the bubble and they're never going to get any better because societies powered by confucianism are fucked forever. That includes Korea and China too. It's an ideology that actively sacrifices the future of the young for the old. If you think we got retarded during the coof you've got no fucking clue.

>>106547313
It's as bad here as it is there. Old people realistically should be out back growing food for grandkids like they did in the 1820's.

>>106547370
No, it's worse there. At least here's you have some young people taking control of the government and economy to try and right things and do things dynamically. Japan still has the same retarded boomers controlling everything running multi billion dollar companies on paper copies and fax machines and in person cross company meetings instead of just email and zoom. That level of waste is quaint but directly why their economy has not grown in 30 years.

Has Japan not heard of washer dryer? You just put shit in, press Wash + Dry and go.

>>106547456
If it makes you feel any better, China and Korea are on the same course. Korea was hot shit like 10 years ago and already fizzled. China is next to pop. They literally can't get out of the seniority mindset and would rather crash a plane full of passengers than question the higher ups. Not even exaggerating. See Korean air flight 801 from like 97. The copilot sort of casually suggests to the captain that he's too low without directly stating it and the captain politely tells him to shut the fuck up. Everyone died when they crashed into the side of a mountain. These are societal issues from confucianism that they're never going to escape.

>>106547529
Did you miss the part where I said the kwh cost for electricity is 25 cents?

So no you're not running a fucking dryer and you're being extremely sparing with the ac unit too. Japan is a meme. Just visit. Don't live there.

3 dollars at $0.25/kWh means that your wash + dry cycle alone consumes 12 fucking kWh, which is not even remotely true. Do you not look at your electricity consumption at all?

I can barely reach 12 kWh total consumption in my apartment and that probably required doing the dishes + several loads of laundry.

>>106547755

So, you'd pay $1.09 per load, not $2 or $3.

Dryers aren't particularly good for clothing anyway. Pretty much every single piece of clothing I have warns against machine drying them. Especially anything ordered from Japan.

Personally, I only machine dry sheets and towels, since the former are annoying to dry and the latter come out fluffier.

If electricity is $0.50 and running a wash + dry cycle consumes about 2.2 kWh, then yeah, it's a bit over a dollar.

I don't know how much laundry you have but it's very rare that I can't get all of my dirty laundry in at once. I think I've had the weight limit exceeded just once.

How is electricity billed in Japan? US at least it's billed by the HR with surcharges for certain time windows but even then it's not that bad. The service fees really skews US rates a bit higher than what euro's think we pay.

In a model that's probably much bigger than the unit you're gonna fit into a tiny apartment unit in Japan. They're half the size of Western units on average so that 1 load is gonna be 2.
Look, if you want to live the weeb dream be my guest. Just don't come bitching here when you're making 45k in a bug pod unable to afford the electricity to do laundry and the trash is piling up because you can't figure out when to put certain items out for collection.

>>106548133
>What do you think kwh means?
Kilowatt-hours, which is not a measure of time.

>>106548144
When multiplied by the wattage of the appliance, it is.
Washer dryer combos average about 2-2.5 kw so that's a dollar per hour for a unit that's 50% smaller than the American counterpart. Double electricity costs and double the laundry loads because of space.

That's BS.

Smaller washer/dryer is gonna use less energy too. And washers only use that much for a few minutes when heating water or centrifuging. Most of the time it's less than 100w, just spinning the drum.

Drying takes more, but it's optional.

naep related scoring is highly suspect. the sampling has changed in the last decade to include as many disabled and ESL children as possible. they have inclusion goals where they oversample some races.

they have been closing loopholes schools were using to game the exams too. the loopholes are just various ways to avoid having low performing students take the exams.

scores and performance for everything is dropping mostly because of demographic change, and probably a little bit from moral decay in normal performing groups. NAEP results are total bullshit from what little ive read about it.

People don’t understand what it was like to grow up in a non-Euclidian environment
If you were lucky enough to spend your formative years in a space where the shortest distance between two points was always a straight line, it’s hard to imagine what it was like to grow up in a non-Euclidean environment.

My first steps, like anyone’s, were stumbling. But when I turned to look for my parents, they were no longer there, and I didn’t recognise my surroundings.

On my sixth birthday I tried to blow out the candles on my cake, only to feel my own breath on the back of my neck. The flames stayed lit.

One Christmas I was given a bicycle, but no matter how hard I tried, my feet never reached the pedals, and I could never learn to ride.

Most people take the reliability of the Pythagorean theorem for granted. But for some of us, space has always been curved. Please remember that when you see me slipping through a gap in the walls that doesn’t exist - and be patient.

I made a boo boo and now I gotta clean up a huge mess, but I'm tired from sleeping only 6 hours and want to stressjack to brutal bdsm but my gf is here.

yes, because iq is dropping because of mass migration. even optimistic estimates of some of these countries are low 80s.

>schools are underfunded and incompetent
i believe theres been studies about funding increases not actually improving test results. there are serious issues with education system too though.

i dont disagree with your point that zoomers are destroying their minds with brainrot screen media. i only disagree with the idea that its the most significant cause.

the way to get to the bottom of this would be to look at the breakdown of NAEP scoring by race, if it exists, and look at how much whites have dropped in previous years, and compare it to the overall drop. if im right the drop for whites wont be as high.

but who cares. its over either way.

Because young smart people want to make money and live around other young smart and interesting people, so they move to Tokyo or Bangkok or Shenzhen. But COL is expensive and smart people are by nature not impulsive nor the favored sons of the welfare state, so they take a while to establish themselves and have fewer kids.

Meanwhile dim hicks keep popping out dim babies which creates a negative selection pressure for intelligence that compounds over time.

>Behind the declines in average skill levels, inequalities within countries are widening. In many countries, the lowest-performing adults saw the biggest decline in literacy skills, and on average across participating countries one in five adults are only able to understand simple texts or solve basic arithmetic. Furthermore, in most countries adult skills continue to depend closely on social background.

>On the other hand, men continue to outperform women in numeracy and adaptive problem solving. Meanwhile, foreign-born adults have lower skills than native-born adults in nearly all countries. In some places, the increase in the share of foreign-born adults over the past decade explains part of the declining average literacy proficiency scores.

Majority of the debt repayment stuff i see online, youtube, reddit, and odd ball forums seems to be mostly women. Men sure as shit spend to much money on dumb hobbies, collecting crap and drugs. But women really do wait for a man to come along and pay their debts off then they get the ick at the beta male they married before leaving.

so, considering that this general had a LOT of activity this past day (in fact, the last thread lasted just 1 day) and the apparent fact that half the threads in this board seem to be bot-generated content... how fake is /twg/?
the other day some faggot complained that /utwg/ was more active than this general, yet I've noticed exactly the contrary, twg is usually far more active than utwg. was that a bot post?

> Have QA teams disappeared from companies?
On paper no, in practice yes. I'm 10+ years into the field across multiple companies/teams and have never written any code that had the luxury of a dedicated QA team to validate. Either I write my own test cases, or utilize the test cases that other non-QA team members wrote. The QA teams that we do have are either junior engineers or thirdies who are around because they're cheap, and most of their work is manual validation, not writing good, scalable test cases. Most QA engineers worth their salt just jump ship to actual dev work.

>The NTSB was critical of the flight crew's monitoring of the approach, and even more critical of why the first officer and flight engineer did not challenge the captain for his errors. Even before the accident, Korean Air's crew resource management program was already attempting to promote a free atmosphere between the flight crew, requiring the first officer and flight engineer to challenge the captain if they felt concerned.[2]:59 The flight crew only began to challenge the captain six seconds before impact, though, when the first officer urged the captain to make a missed approach. According to the cockpit voice recorder, the flight crew suggested to the captain that he had made a mistake, but did not explicitly warn him.[16] The flight crew had the opportunity to be more aggressive in its challenge and the first officer even had the opportunity to take over control of the aircraft and execute a missed approach himself, which would have prevented the accident, but he did not do this. Despite examining Korean Air's safety culture and previous incidents, the NTSB was unable to determine the exact reasons why the flight crew failed to challenge the captain, but at the same time noted that "problems associated with subordinate officers challenging a captain are well known".

>mfw zero willpower to work today
This is what burnout does to a mf. I took a week off to enjoy the Summer, and when I come back I found my boss was replaced by a bitch that loves micromanaging and shitting on my project quality, which had no issues before she arrived.
I have picked the 3 things that will have my full attention today and I will only work on these, ignoring the rest. That's my plan for surviving burnout, so basically:
>Playing the Jira game and wasting precious time on documenting the tickets so she's happy
>Replying to a stakeholder after analysing the requirements of another task and start building the foundations
>Complete another tasks that got unblocked yesterday evening and notify the stakeholder
Once this is done, I will stop working for the rest of the day, keeping the laptop on to reply to messages so they don't think I'm away, and that's it. It's either this or going insane, I already sleep poorly and have hunger cravings so stress is starting to be unmanageable.

The customizability. Middle managers can add as many custom fields as their hearts desire and mandate such a messy process that it becomes a fucking pain. Not just once or twice that we have our sprint meeting where our manager would go over the board and not be able to move tickets between statuses because they don't meet the stupid fucking workflow requirements.

The UI is also slow and buggy, and on a laptop screen, extremely cramped too.

Its a laziness factor. Once you have something figured out there isn't much benefit to either digging deeper or learning something new. I cannot get people to switch to safety razors to save money since people do not want to relearn how to shave their face. Hell they can still use canned foam and canned cream instead of learning how to use a brush for harder soaps.

>>106554048
this is actually what it's called.
like everything else nautical it's very antiquated but it's the correct term for some stupid reason. i think it's because it's supposed to be analogous to driving a sled or a slave where you give the orders but don't really have control over the exact movements

>>106554956

I don't think it's fraudulent, since it's a pretty established company. Even my mom had heard of it. No immediate signs that it's an impersonation either.

My devops team doesn't really even use tickets. We have the tickets, but they are only used at the most bare surface level of a name to indicate what tasks I'm working on. I make every single ticket myself after talking with my manager and determining what I'll work on. Do you people actually have to assign workflow requirements to your tickets and spend time making the story of the tickets look good?

>>106556939
yes it's called working for a project that involves more than 3 people and a company that actually matters

>>106556939
i have never used a ticket for anything other than begging an outside agency to do something, usually something more procedural in nature than technical (e.g. lifecycling equipment, renewing admin accounts, etc)

Only when we're working with another team or company and we need something from them, in-house we don't use that system.
We do have to write down our own tasks in a spreadsheet and then fill in the hour it takes and yada yada

The two main values of tickets are figuring out what work is parallelizable and figuring out what work blocks your own (so you can unblock it). There's not a ton of value unless you're doing big, annoying, cross-cutting projects that have dependencies on work getting done across multiple teams who all hate each other.

The sad corollary of Conway's Law is that getting shit done across team/ownership boundaries causes a LOT of friction. Tickets, or some sort of task-management human-DAG system, are kind of a necessary evil just to track what shit needs to get done across teams before you can get your shit done.

Managers also like it because they try to infer productivity from it and which developer to bully.

But in an ideal world, where your managers aren't time-tracking cunts and your work is self-managed within your own team, tickets are mostly a waste of time.

Do the ideals ever come back? It feels like engineers lost say in “minimum bar of acceptable shitiness” and now everything is run by some product manager trying to squeeze as hard as possible.

Our company just got rid of free accounts; effectively removing any self onboarding. A move one would consider suicide 5 years ago and probably suicide now. I don’t know what the fuck these people are thinking anymore and I’m losing all hope

Is the answer just don’t do web dev

is oracle worth working for? or is it just hyped now because of the stock boost?

your RSU grant date will be in the offer. no, it won't be a pre-pump value. it'll be a future value.

yes but your refreshers will be at the lower grant price in that case.

this field is done, in general. some people will find a nice role, but your avg chud won't. It has been low meaning, low status, high pay job for a while actually.

I'm taking my $1.7M and trying something else, whether that's a big switch or just becoming some faggy program manager myself. being an engineer could have been a lot better but they took the soul right out of it at every turn. that's by design. it's meant to be some shitty immigrant job now

>>106558618
That's obviously false.

>>106558703
Washer dryers are the same shape as a washer, and they use like 2–3 kWh for a wash + dry cycle.

have you goys ever had conflicts with your family because of money after entering this industry, informing them about your wages or whatever?
my parents are currently trying to scam me after helping them buy their property in exchange for some ownership... they want money even after having paid. this is really tragicomic, because they've always been "victims", and I believed them for a long time... I won't give them a single cent, though.
funny how money really transforms people...

>>106559919
You should've just shut up or lied and said you make like 50k

My family is competitive so they want to make more money than me. No issues here but i do also give them larger charisma's gifts (400$ per person).

I don't really talk to them about anything, actually. We aren't close. Never were. Even when I was a kid, they didn't want much to do with me.
