I always had an idea in the back of my mind to transmit data through audio cables. Like get two m/m audio extension cables, plug one end of one cable into the speaker port for one PC and the mic port for the other, then do the opposite with the other cable, then you can output sound directly from one PC to into another, and with some modulation you can send data.
I wonder if there's a potential $1b business in this.

Hope to stick with my current company for the next 5 years, and hopefully ride out the AI craze with them. Try to make sure I learn to use Cursor or similar tools well so I don't become and old-and-out-of-touch loser who gets cast out later. I can speak and manage if needed, but am trying to stay technical because management responsibilities just sound so fucking awful to me... mostly because it sounds harder to grind out code quickly and then game most of the day.

Get off 4chan and take a walk for a few minutes.

You might end up studying longer if it works, but 30 minutes is better than nothing and a reasonable goal.

i talk to myself like really rambly monologues and sometimes they get extremely angry and almost psychotic

this is a bigger topic than one may think. solitude and moments of solitude are imo what everybody truly pines for all the time but they become unenjoyable a couple hours in. you have to keep being around people so that the alone times are what youre looking forwards to always. and JUST solitude is enough. you dont even need solitude + x cope; if you keep yourself surrounded by others (which sucks) often enough, all you need is the breaks from them. if all you do is stay away from people, it's not enough, and youll need x cope and y cope and many other copes.

my angrily talking to myself is a cope, your noises and singing are a cope, scrolling on your phone is a cope, and yes there ARE copes that you can engage in with others around, communal copes, and those are the ones you should want to be doing first before you opt for being alone.

How do smaller software companies get clients? I’m curious because there’s companies in my area (which has hardly any tech jobs btw besides the place that I work and a handful of other small companies) which are securing over a million dollar contracts to finish projects within 1-2 years with 2 devs and their boss is picketing most of that money. How could I do this as a solo developer? I want to be more entrepreneurial and start my own software business but I’m not sure where I’d even find clients. Maybe starting small like making websites for local businesses? Or is that market completely dead?

>>107306419

>>107310196
The company I work at (we are about 12 employees total), my boss said that it took about 4-5 years from starting the company until he got the first big customer. Nowadays we have really large customers (the company has existed for about 13 years). So it'd take time

>>107310196
Sales. as in a sales person making contact and selling the product. even if you are a single dev you need to then contact small businesses and sell them so they become clients.
it is not easy because the people who can say yes try to avoid sales meetings and then are reluctant to spend money. if you cold approach a local business they are going to say "we have a website and [it either adds no value because they dont know the stats or it does fine and doesn't need replacing or updating].
you need an 'in' into a business, a connection who you can give a good deal to and then they recommend it around the local business community.
it is not a dead market but it will probably be smaller these days because a FB or social media page is enough for a lot of small companies. but there are sectors which still need websites: light industry, cars, hospitality, businesses people over 50 use.
you can do it but the sales aspect is a pain and the worst part of the job. it shouldn't stop you tough.

Are there any Euros working as freelancers (remotely, obviously) for US companies?

With my savings I'll move to a country that shall not be named because I happen to speak one of the national languages and a junior salary mogs what I earn here with 4yoe (but to be completely frank, I don't even care if I land something in my field or not at this point).

Yeah people talk about using "Strats" off the rip from these books but its more like a subtle understanding begins to grow as you see the patterns exist in the workplace or real life. Once you let these concepts gel then it starts making more sense.

Why would you promote someone who literally cries about it? Adults shouldn't cry in public, especially not for such a stupid reason.

>>107312659
Yup, it's definitely the Dragon Quest of DB. Which is fine. Daima is like it too. Tbh, if you just headcanon it as Goku, Pan and Trunks just do fun stuff it's not really that bad.

I am kinda jelly. More importantly i am jelly of rich kids not necessarily because of the money they can throw around but entirely because of the opportunities they have to get them setup for a future company. The education, networking and ability or atleast a good chance to go to a top tier college with the benefit of not having to worry about much but schooling, projects and clubs is a massive heads up on starting a future company when you work with rich kids and if you are one too. The time that money buys means you also can focus on special projects like games.

Nah i am in the same boat. Job is pretty chill majority of the time, boss is chill and coworkers are chill but every now and then work gets rough for a few weeks out of the year. I wonder if working somewhere else will be more consistent instead of the stark difference between chilling and drowning.

>>107314204
I dunno, my work gets really retarded at a high level but desu it's not that bad. Nothing's really organized but because of that I can fall through the cracks. I either get no work or they ask me something insanely retarded to work on where I'll spin something in an hour and then they move the goalpost and rinse and repeat till they give up and just do it themselves.

I mean it's just weird because I can just afk the entire day but the meetings feel like everything is so royally screwed which drains me because nobody's really doing anything to fix it and I don't really care about it anymore.

TIL for India outsource devs, they EXPECT 10-20% raises every year.

I direct a small department with multiple dev teams and this is the first year where I actually had to choose exactly who gets what % for our Bangalore devs. Prior to that it was all automatic (on the India side).

I was actually very impressed with these two particular offshore devs so I gave them 7% and 8% and thought goddamn I'm being very generous, but then I learned later from HR that they were PISSED. Apparently one of them was used to 20% a year. I mean shit even with 20% raises they are still paid pennies compared to our US devs, but still

We haven't decided what to do yet, I just learned about it now so I gotta have a meeting with the CTO and HR to discuss. Goddamnit

1) Ads.
2) Donations. Unlike ratemyprofessor, the target audience are paid professionals. Information on shitty teams/managers is worth its weight in gold. And it provides a cathartic outlet for mistreated workers who arent afraid to burn bridges.

Im genuinely surprised nobody has thought to do this yet. Easy passive money, but im not a webdev.

where are the chill jobs. I get hired because my shtick is not being a fucking moron, which means there's no dodging giant piles of work that's 60 hours a week of horseshit (or 30-40 and then the company lags behind the promises it's made to customers and dies). the chill jobs I have seen (programmers) is just lack of things to implement because retarded business support (sales, customer experience etc) and then the company dies in like four months and lays them all off anyways. t. security guy who needs to reduce to 20 hours a week or will get a heart attack and die.

no, it was really forced and even then for unclear ends

Is big technically an escapism movie? Does anyone have more recommendation of escapism movies I can watch during the office?

>>107317461
all movies are escapism

>almost monday
please PLEASE don't do this to me

>>107317175
no i mean she shows up at an empty office steals shit and goes home. typically these videos have lots of other faggots being fabulous as well and having meetings and staketime catered lunches and shit and then going out to dinner.

this is just some bitch that crashes in hates her lunch and dissapears. the normal heckin' tech exec shit is missing.

>>107317635
brother what fucking timezone are you in

>>107317461
lsd. no one will know you're watching a movie if the movie is in your head.

>>107317730

>CIDR notation for IPs
it makes more sense once you realize how it refers to how much of the IP always stays the same, and also realize that no one does anything other than /16 or /24 (or /8 if you are an actual big boi ISP)

my first instinct was to reply with
>plan? lol
but I will respond seriously here as an exercise in putting my thoughts into words,
>been developing a C++ project ever since graduating that I plan to make open source
>been studying japanese for even longer, recently got N3 last year
>plan to create the public repo for my project around the start of 2026 once I've got the gui in a usable state (recently got an MVP of the library and cli compiling on all three major OSes)
>plan to take N2 or N1 in December of 2026
>will start looking for jobs in japan after taking the exam, saving money to live there for a considerable time while working my wage slave
>hopefully I can generate some activity on my repo in this time (in either case, it will be first thing interviewers see on my resume)
I am socially retarded and don't have any friends, and don't care how much money I make so long as I can live alone in peace and quiet.

>>107317753

>asked to help out these non tech people with some project
>involves importing some data to another system for them and helping them learn how to use it
>they keep giving over the most retarded broken data files and expecting it to magically work
>after i tell them its broken they ask me if i can fix it for them (???)
>tell them to go back to who they got the data file from with a list of issues
>week later they still havent done it and seem to have forgotten i even asked
>asking me for a timeline on how long it will take to get the data file fixed
fucking hell i hate dealing with non tech retards

>>107318261
unless you're being paid why are you dealing with them

>>107318271
of course im being paid its at my job

>>107318261
anon.. your job is to make sure your crap works even when the most retarded user feeds it data, or at least to warn the user to fix this or that.
maybe use some external library that does all the checking, or whatever.

>>107318292
it does do that (thats where i got the list of issues), we just dont hand out access to the data importing system to everyone as we dont want retards to shove a bunch of garbage into our database without approval

>>107306846
Find a nice place in the woods to hang myself

>>107318305
