>>107177742very cuddy to exclude lenin
>>107177741I know that feel.
TJD
Why do "veterans" get a holiday for themselves but us programmers do not ? We as Software Engineers are defining the world from scratch they did not do shit!!
Had a client insist that I begin joining a call with an unintelligent and unintelligible Indian, who will be taking over a particular team. Feels like being sentenced to death. Talking to these people is worse than talking to users.
>>107177796Can't you just tell the client that you can't understand the hindu?
>have obviously indian coworker>his name is Tyrone West thoughdid god create this man as a walking visual pun on "west indes"(carribean) or is pretending to be "African American" the new jeet cope method
Indians have really made IT unenjoyable.
this >>107177782. big capitalist corporations are either owned or managed by capitalists. we need to organize, to overthrow them and to take over the companies.
>>107177805I've tried. My experience is that nobody can understand them, but nobody wants to just say that because they're afraid of an HR thing, so everybody just does this awkward play-pretend about it.Understanding is only half of it anyways, there are times I can understand him and I realize that what he's saying is retarded, and he can't grasp anything. I'm just waiting it out at this point and wondering why everyone keeps doing the same stupid thing. You get these guys who don't know anything and can't communicate well and you wonder how that'll end up.
>>107177882I said that already.
Anon I would really appreciate if you spoke up more during stand-up, sprint planning, sprint review, retrospectives, and team planning
>>107177902>>107177893
>>107177838That's not a pun
>>107177893I hate doing that but it's without a doubt the best way to cimb
>>107177903This nonsense is the root of meetings taking too long, people feel like they have to talk when they have nothing to say just so you know they're there. Even this feedback is the result of managers or gay project managers thinking they need to say something even when they don't have anything real.
>>107177742Where are Lenin, Stalin and other bolsheviks? Why are they not in the picture?
>>107177903nobody would ever says this to me because I'm the only person speaking in multiple meetings and make sure I yap at least once
>>107177906He didn't say that.
i know what i need to do but insurmountable laziness has overcome me. i write like 2 lines of code or think about what i should do, and then i browse 4channel for 30 minutes
>>107178023this, but I jerk off to lolis and shotas for 9 hours instead
>>107178023At least you did something.
>>107177902Fag
>>107178023something similar happens to me, but I think it's more of a lack of discipline problem rather than just laziness
>>107178104What's the difference?
>>107177935I'm sure you have something to contribute, and it's important to promote a communicative culture Just jump in!
>>107178124Laziness is when you don't do anything Lack of discipline is when you don't do the expected thingThere can be overlap
>>107177764>>107177941This is a Marxist-only thread.
>>107178161>>107178104>>107178023This can also be because of disinterest or burnout. So much easier to work on stuff you find interesting.
>>107178104For me it's because I don't want to deal with the insane ci/cd they've set up. The "automation" adds so much manual work and horseshit that I'd just as soon wait to see if the request blows over. I've found that if you just sit on things for two weeks or so most work just disappears, it isn't real shit it's just some flippant comment someone made in a meeting that turned into a ticket that nobody really cared about.
>>107178231the only thing i really like working on right now is alcohol and high intensity interval training
>>107178279this lol, there are hundreds of bug tickets QA created for my work I just don't bother picking up and they never get mentioned or prioritized
>>107178287ngmi
Just got rejected from xAI, it's over....
>>107178362These are both men
>>107178362SEX>>107178380SEX
>>107177884I've managed to deal with the Asian accents, some of the Portugese guys though.
>>107177884>>107178391We have products that can mostly translate language to language in real time, we need something that'll translate jeet English to actual English in real time. Microsoft could integrate it into teams and if would be a thousand times more useful than copilot notes or whatever.
>>107178746>giving scammers tools to improve their scamsno thanks
How do I care less?>pm asks something retarded>write thoughtful responseThen it gets completely ignored, or they take advantage and ask for way more. This has happened multiple times with different people. Sometimes even the exact same question and I just copy paste my old email.I'm just going to write one sentence and let them pull teeth for more info. I won't fact check so what if I'm wrong. But it's hard, even here I'm writing too much.
>>107179728dragon dildos
>>107178746sar that is racist beyond imagination
>>107179728ask them back about their actual doubt, question or intention.
>>107179743But my hemorrhoids
what do jeets even like? how do you find something in common with them?chinks like video games and stuffbut ive never heard a jeet share a hobby or interest
>>107179793That's good. Sometimes that's what messes me up. I try to predict their intention and answer that hypothetically to cut down on back and forth, but it's literally never helped and if anything just adds confusion.When I do ask for clarity usually it's silent because they don't even know what they want or it just wasn't that important. Going forward it's not my job to figure it out for them. Fucking pms and managers can do the jobs they're paid to do. I'm not worrying about it anymore.
>>107179848>When I do ask for clarity usually it's silent because they don't even know what they want or it just wasn't that importantstop working with retards, then
>>107179861>Dude just only work with smart and communicative people
I just got a job offer 2 weeks before being fired on a PIP haha YES
>>107179848>>107179861Problem isn't the guy you're asking, it's the guy he's asking, and lack of standards in a changing environment.
>>107179920Racism outside of /b/May as well reset your IP now
>>107179978I was just stating clearly observable facts, and even had a source to back it up, and also responded to a post that was racist in the first place, lol
>>107180015Sorry no N-word on /g/ that's the rule
>>107179975Whats the most polite way to say>you're a dumb fuck, figure out what you wantI get so many insane and dumb requests and never know how to answer them because the whole premise is retarded but in a gay neutered office environment you can't just say that so have to dance around the dei hire being incompetent
>>107180137I just tell them to follow the published CIO guidance and ignore them while they take a year to get a budget.
>>107179808My jeet coworkers like getting deals on stuff. Like they don't even seem to particularly enjoy the things they bought, moreso the fact that they haggled and got a good deal on it.
>>107180170Chinks are the same way but they are frugal so they will haggle for shit they really don't need now to save 5 cents but in terms of time to haggle they wasted like $30
Where are all the comfy IT jobs?Being customer facer sucks ass
>>107180281>Where are all the comfy IT jobs?at home>Being customer facer sucks asseveryone is the customer anon
>>107180281Its all customer facing. I know some that tried to escape to Server/System administration and they now deal with longer phone calls and more frequent calls than we do as network administrators.
>>107179796it will crush them and cure you
>>107179861Were it so easy
I dont understand why people want to get promoted so fucking much
>>107178362You were never getting in anyway.
>>107180498Money and less technical work if you are a brainlet. Other than that lording over people.
A 2-bedroom house in my reasonably nice area is the equivalent of $1.1-1.3mil USD6 years ago it was half that
>>107180498Promotion means more money, dummyAlso potentially getting out of shitty work
>>107180137>Whats the most polite way to say>>you're a dumb fuck, figure out what you wantLet's take this offline and book in some time so we can confirm your requirements
>>107180590>>107180650sure but it is worth it?
>>107180647location location location
>>107177742In case you are wondering, your gf most certainly wnbaw
>>107180691immigration, immigration, immigrationthanks, jews!
goodnight /twg/...
Rude to cry on the bear.
>>107180676For 40-60k more yes. But anything less than 20k more is not worth it.
op should probably add "learn gtd" and maybe some kind of mood thing too.
>>107180676The faster you earn money the faster you retire I'm hoping to retire at 40 and then do some menial job part-time to chill out
>>107180281Test for 8 hours if the button still works
god created indians to punish us for colonization god i wish my retarded ancestors just stayed in their country instead of unleashing this plague upon the world
I'm cashing out six weeks of accumulated annual leave, hell yeah
>>107181356Blame industrialization and its consequences
i started a new job this year as a SWE that pays 450k TC, but i couldn't do it. felt too hard and I couldn't focus in the office. How does anyone work in person in an open office. People walk by. Noisy person right next to me. Things going back my visual field. lunch with coworkers. I CAN'T FUCKING DO IT. Lost my mind quit and accepted a different job that starts next month that pays half but is remote. BLOG OVER.
>>107181460kek what consequences? working from home and essentially living like a neetgod? because that's the consequences of industrialization for me
>>107181815you did good. 200k is still a good amount of money. plus what's the point of making more if you're going to live like a wagie? normies would judge you, but wanting to live like a king is real ambition, not making a bit more money at the expense of being a 9 to 5 chump
>>107181843>plus what's the point of making more if you're going to live like a wagie?so you can retire earlier and live however you want
>>107181843thanks nigguh. I'm glad i got out of that other job. was fucking me up. wish i was a chad that could just cash paychecks and not give a fuck but I'm not.
I worked for an hour and I want to sleep again.
>>107180498>get paid more>delegate work>do less work>less thinking>higher prestige
>>107182384Depending upon the level you also get control over hiring decisions(to an extent).
>hey are you free to discuss this in 2 hours?>yes I’m free from now till 1 hoursFucking illiterate jeets, I don’t even bother anymore
>recruiter wants to schedule an interviewany tips on interviewing with microsoft? it's a third party company handling the interview, idk anything about it besides that it's a "technical" round
Marx and Engels were theoristsLenin, Stalin and the bolsheviks were the (hardliner) revolutionaries who applied the theoryNot the same cohort
>>107182713>MicrosoftBe Indian
>>107182713If microsoft is considering dropping Windows 11 already then you should see the writing on the walls. I say kinda since we have zero functional replacements for microsoft office suite. Either way that company and amazon is going to go through a employee crunch due to current competition and failures from work culture.
If you wanted to put your experience on informal learning platforms like pluralsite or datacamp etc on your CV, would you put them in your Education section or a separate Learning section?I used to put them in a separate section until I noticed a lot of application forms when they parsed my CV would miss them entirely, so I assume ATS systems would discard them too.
>>107182921Either is fine. Preferably if its a boot camp or udemy training then you put in Education with dates/bullshit certs that is given from these websites. If it's something as simple as setting up a server or building a computer you can put that as Key Skills or Homelab. But i have IT experience so that's what i normally see.
>>107182713>MicrosoftMention AI in every sentence.
Yes i am a hacker, how could you tell?
Just had a conversation with a white man as part of my jobIt’s so refreshing bros you should try it
How important are internships really? Obviously you should have some, but I see even people with years of experience face rejection after rejection. Let's say you are a fresh grad with no internships, how would you start improving your cv to get more chances?
>>107183356>being able to understand someone clearly and have no need to retread sentences every 2 minutesno thanks
>just noticed that one of my favorite coworkers from another team leftI'm noticing this a lot more frequently and it's just making me depressed.
the white supremacy memes here are giving a bit of cringe vibes why are europeans so freaking corny
>>107183711>when the Teams profile goes darkmy shart ass company routinely lays people off (and gets left as well) if you look at the participants list of some of the bigger company group chats you'll see a graveyard of black circles at the bottom lmao
>>107183721We are supreme, you buzz around our countries and companies hopelessly like a moth to a flame, bugman. Your worship is evidence of our supremacy.
>>107183750corny ahhh cracker
>>107183752>boonspeak
>>107180054You're an n-word.
Oh... you said the niggerword. Awesome. Feel happier with yourself?
>>107183750You inherited the hard work of generations past and boast about it to nations that are climbing while you watch your civilization collapse. Within your lifetime you will see white working class economic emigrants. I do not pity you.
Can we not get into race wars here? Thanks.
nigger
>>107183917I am the descendant of the giants whose shoulders you sit on faglord. This is my race not yours. Please don't play stupid like the entirety of the brown world isn't intensely clannish.
>>107183923Agreed, that's more like the low class unemployed """people" in /utwg/.
>>107183752Ok boomer
>>107183917All those "climbing" nations are sending their best and brightest to work here. You are being brain drained.
>>107183983
Suppose you work hybrid but very often dont go to the office. Will you get fired by this alone, or only if on top of that also dont do your job, is annoying, miss deadlines and so on?
so if I get this job for faang I'm basically set for life, right? future employers are going to see faang on my resume and ill be considered top 1% talent and get rotated around the largest companies in the world, right?
>>107184123If your current chances of getting a job is 1/10 with just a bachelors then its like 5/10 with FAANG. Likewise IVY league education would push that to 8/10 chance due to the big name/internships attached to it. In reality however if you get good job experience 10+ years then it all equals out.
>>107184136>with just a bachelorsI don't have a degree
>>107183983Wait so the ones we’re getting are their best?
>>107184141Well if you get the job due to job experience then your chances of getting another job after FAANG dramatically improves. It's like going from a GED to an Associates degree.
Question to those who used Claude and think it's mid or it sucks, what was your use case? So far with the right proompting it's doing solid stuff on my end.
>>107184165yep
>>107184084Depends, if its written in your contract that you have to come to the office a certain number of times then you have to, if they enforce it and you don't comply then you'll be sacked for breach of contract
I'm having an existential crisis just a couple of days into my new job. I regret having been born.
My manager and at least half the VPs of engineering at my job are Indian.
What is your opinion of "unlimited" PTO?
4 hours of work today. Wish I could do full days.
>>107184731I think it's pretty good but from what I've seen, most people don't take more than 6 weeks of PTO in a year
>>107184391IBM?Bank of America?
>forced to attend AI Slop conference meetings by CEO and CTO when they were intended to be optional>no use for AI in our application at all, already utilizing ML for only area it's partially applicable toReally just despise all the new leadership at this company. Everything just gets progressively worse, there's no backfilling of people that have left unless it's in India, RTO 4 days a week with threatening emails if you miss that for any reason excused or not.
You are saying good morning to your co workers, right anon?
>>107185021I don't know why that triggers so many chuds here
>>107185021yea but only in spanish
is it even worth moving to seattle for 120k? what the fuck
>>107177742Holy shit this can't be real.I got my first job as a junior through networking.Now I want to move on for better pay and also to stand on my own two feet using my experience and credentials and not daddy's connections.I've applied to over 30 companies and haven't gotten a single reply.Some of them I fit the stack perfectly.I have mastered exactly the things they are requesting (languages, frameworks, technologies) and have the experience to prove it.As well as good stories and such which they sometimes ask. There's no way that out of the 40 idiots who applied I am not the best fit, or at least worth a fucking interview.But no it's either ghosting or auto-rejection through AI.
>had a tech interview>today the recruiter wants me to call "to give feedback on the interview"I guess that's not a good sign, bros
I feel like having to learn more and more shit and having to take more and more responsilibities as an adult is overwhelming. I feel like I'm not able to manage this shit...I love being an adult but only because I can do whatever I want (not that I do much), but I never signed up for a shitty life like this.
Coworker in her mid 40s was wearing a turtleneck sweater today. She dyed her hair red a couple of weeks ago and has big tits. She reminded me of Christina Hendricks and I had to go to the bathroom and have a furious wank.Sometimes going to the office is nice.
>>107185622Literally me.Over the past two weeks I've been learning about investing and once I finished my initial planning I realized I just want to live in a comfy small place by the sea and do jack shit all day without having any worries.
Finally heard back.>We are sorry to inform youFUUUU->about a delay in our selection process and would like to ask for more patience.WHY would they start an email like this. Why are HR roasties so retarded.
>>107185632>I had to go to the bathroom and have a furious wank.>Sometimes going to the office is nice.Indeed.
Now that a lot of my coworkers are leaving I've noticed that the ones remaining aren't exactly stellar. I'm just shrugging my shoulder but things that could've been done in a day are taking weeks (even though I'm still giving my stuff daily and my workload hasn't increased at all) but it's just more of a lot of my stuff just gets stuck in the pipeline and I don't really care but it kinda sucks since I have nothing to present this year for performance reviews. Kinda burnt out from performance reviews anyways.
>visit indeed>every company on the first 3 pages is offering >70khow do i filter by shit jobs
damn my head hurts
>>107186346Stop sucking so much dick then.
>>107186356you seem to have some experience with that
>>107178746the jeet's tools will never dismantle the jeet's house
>>107186395Wanna come over and find out? ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfcZXfit0SsIs he lying? Why would a company train their local LLM with their own devs and not just use copilot
>>107186550ever heard the term m$? micro$oft?
What do you guys say when asked what you do for work? Tech is the equivalent of sanitation engineer to me I can't in good conscience say it or SDE or programmer. I am a crudmonkey plumber
>>107186356I've never sucked a dickI may have another minor skull fracture though, luckily I'm wfh this week so no one has to see
CEO on all hands on deck meet says we're becoming an AI first company due to one (1) competitor in our niche being AI first and it's a jeet company at that... No demo no nothing, just a good valuation because "revolutionary AI approach to <niche>". It doesn't even make sense to use LLM since it's a numbers game, and we already use trad ML but obviously AI means ChatGPT text slop.After that had a "demo session" to see brainlets interact with "agents" and of all the people in the company there's two jeets talking about "tips and tricks" as they are very experienced...It's so over
>>107186671I'm going to start making shit up. Data bitch sounds like shit.
>>107186712I don't think I've ever heard anything that could be interpreted as being more over than that. My condolences, friend
Yeah, Anduril got back to me after my on-site and I was rejected.I'm not too surprised since the dude I talked to for lunch had been there for 4 months and already done 15 chats with candidates. They're interviewing everyone they can get a hold of.Plus everyone was either an old dude with 10 years of experience or a young local guy.And well, I don't have the flashy startup or big tech experience to fit in with the young local guys.Btw they had free kombucha in the cafeteria lol. Very swanky place.Anyways. Back to applying.
>>107186712My last company went full AI mega cancer as well. Funny thing is, somebody in finance 'accidentally' let slip our operating budget before I left and that they'd be doing layoffs soon. (he was my work bud and if I bought him a joint he'd tell me all kinds of shit)Two months after I leave they fire like 30% of the company, then make this announcement about this absolutely shit AI tool they made thats going to "revolutionize" our industry.Another three months later, another huge layoff lmao.All this shit is just so transparent, its so funny watching tech collapse in on itself because its one of one of the best grifts being committed in human history, aside from maybe that desert jew death religion.
