Because it's a video. They film scenes for it around campus. The production levels for the training videos is on par with basic cable tier. The writing is shit though... because it's corporate training.

Do you guys hide your power level at work? I find that being competent just causes problems. Pisses off your seniors when you have to show them what to do, makes your peers standoffish and insecure because they think you make them look bad, and in 90% of cases your boss CAN'T promote you or give you a raise anyway, but they'll happily lean on you for everything anyway

I have a hard time believing young tech person is objective when they make statements like these. 9/10 times it is the cliche smarmy fat tech nerds who THINK they know it all. But they sometimes don't understand that if they do it their way , it might set them up for race conditions or some other problem down the line - ie you don't know what you don't know

Do you every just work a long shift and wonder what your deceased mother would think about what you are doing?

See, I'm an unlucky sort, my parents are blood related; first cousins. My mom would walk around our trailer park in cheap lingerie from goodwill. She taught me well enough, but she also made getting laid impossible. In high school I asked out my crush and she laughed that the inbred had a crush on her. I got rapped in the locker room by her brother later. My dad died from prostate cancer soon after my sister-cousin was born. I'm 38 years old, never had sex with a woman and working at a start up. My mom would say that she is proud of me but honestly I kinda wanna off myself

He wants to jump from Java 6 to Java 21.
Shit's mad old.
There are no replacements for libraries.
And even if we crafted our own, "the architects" made such shit apis that they are shit to extend AND they leak the implementation, so you can't just replace the implementation behind the api, you have to go play whack a mole on the codebase.
Yet another case of Clean Code retards that should have kept it simple.

oh, I see. not sure what you mean by "they leak the implementation", but that looks like a lot of unnecessary, retarded work

>not sure what you mean by "they leak the implementation"
You have a library called Apache POI, it does things with Excel.
To avoid importing it everywhere, you write a wrapper class ExcelWrapper. The methods it has are newPage, writeOnPage, saveFile, rather than apacheNewWorkbook, apacheWriteBytes, apacheSaveOutputStream.
You import ExcelWrapper from other places and you never see the Apache library, it is encapsulated.
Well, now you want to do writeOnPage(..., int extraFlags) to extend functionality. And rather than doing int extraFlags, they did writeOnPage(..., ApacheFlags extraFlags), so now you have to know about ApacheFlags and bring POI everywhere and make sure it's a POI version with valid ApacheFlags. You know what's behind the api, it leaked the implementation.
>can you use LLMs at work?
Yes, they use them.
>maybe that could help speed up things a bit
I have to clean their slop and it slows me.
>can you re-architect the whole thing?
No. It's a political thing. muh battle tested proven code reuse (that causes out of memory errors in production).

Got laid off for "performance" even though my manager rated my performance high and was happy with it 2 weeks ago in the review
>inb4 go to utwg
There isn't a thread up right now, and I'm still technically employed until the end of the month so you have to deal with my presence in the thread until at least one of those things changes

Not worried about finding a job or getting interviews because I have worked at a household name even normies [non-tech men] know, and this job was at a company everyone in tech knows, or at least their flagship product


So I guess the plan is to apply to 30 jobs a day while doing a little neetcode and a little bit of actual learning too (I want to go through karpathy's lectures and the fast.ai course and learn how to build a GPT). But I'm assuming that actually getting an interview will come from reaching out personally and from my network. Either that or out-jeeting the competition with AI fleecing like hidden prompts with white text on white background etc

>>106925733

No you are going to be picking up alot of slack from others. It's supposed to be better than mainline management but reality is that you end up doing work than most managers since you just took away their biggest time sink in the workplace. Pivot out of PM to mainline if your trajectory in the workplace is VP with a MBA to back it up.

Still better paid for programmers than most IT guys. However scaling wise mid level IT guys make almost double what they make. And high level IT makes mid level programmers pay wise.

Either way could always be worse you could be a mechanic with 20k$ in tools.

Isn't IT shit until you get to the high end jobs?

Yes but still better than being any blue collar job. IT jobs atleast in my areas are 50-70k, then mid level 80-120k, then niche/engineering 120-300k.

Alot smaller ceiling than programming but grand scheme of things pretty decent pay. Lower end jobs are have alot less responsibilities for the job but require more customer interaction. Inverse of that going up but the equipment is much more expensive so doing anything wrong can get you the can if its a neurotic company.

There are tons of fake job postings and numerous reason why they happen

1. Headcount signaling
They just want to keep getting budget, so they have the possibility to hire in the future

2. Talent pool farming
They are building talent databases so they can easily hire when they need someone

3. PR / investor optics
Some public or growth-stage companies want to look like they’re expanding.

4. Contract or funding dependency
Sometimes hiring is contingent on external approval
The role exists only if the deal closes — which might never happen.

5. Internal candidate or promotion in progress
The job is technically “open,” but they already have someone in mind, a transfer or internal promotion.

6. Bureaucratic inertia
Nobody takes ownership of cleaning them up.
HR may not even realize half of them are outdated.

7. Benchmarking / salary research
Some firms post roles to see what salary expectations or skill profiles applicants have.
They’re collecting market intelligence, not actually hiring.

8. Hiring freezes mid-process
A team plans to hire, starts interviews, then gets hit by a freeze or reorg.
The posting remains because removing it would signal trouble publicly.
