Do US companies hire freelancers from overseas?
>>107331827Officially hire + tax paper? It's called Visa.Under the table hire? It's called Pablo's job @ Home Depot.
>>107331895I mean work remotely, obviously.
>being hit by a wave of "just quit your job and live life!" youtube videos after I started looking for side job ideas>every single one of these guys has a metric ton of cash in reserve and can live off interest in some low cost countryyeah that's really cool guys thanks
>>107331935Permanent or Temporary? Permanent means you still need a Visa. Temporary means you're treated like Pablo without a Visa.
>>107331981I visited an alumni party of a consulting company I have worked for a couple years ago, recently.My former colleagues, who started working 10-15 years before me were totally unimpressed by AI. Or told me outright, it is the losers that cannot find a job - the good programmers will always be needed.I also thought, easy to say, when you have a payed off house worth a million and additional assets already. I have a family with two children and no plan B for when my current contract ends (soon).
>>107331995temporary of course. I don't give a fuck how they treat me as long as they pay me the same as I get now, which would be around 110 dollars per hour.
>>107332016>as they pay me the same as I get now, which would be around 110 dollars per hourDo you really think your revenue as a gigolo would transfer to a real job lmao dream on
>>107332186your parents must be proud, NEET loser
>>107332016>guys look at this unrealistically high amount of money i make, can i make the same money working somewhere betterI eternally curse you and your career
>We want our devs working on AI EVERYTHING>We need to LEVERAGE AI>USE AI DAILY>IF YOU DON'T USE AI WE WILL PUNISH YOU....>ok so this coding interview is going to be strictly no-AI
Dam people were not joking that you can replace jerking off and getting drunk on the weekends with fixing up your house most weekends.
>>107332753>defence job>you have to work onsite you know defence security blah blahj>all the code for the blackbox super secret computers is written by an AI hosted in another countryhmm
>>107333120Its honestly over anon
>>107332003>it is the losers that cannot find a job - the good programmers will always be needed.Given that companies are unable to identify good programmers, the above is a nonsense statement.
>>107333040people play games to scratch the itch like the Sims and other simulators, RPGs even, yes it's because we actually enjoy building and maintaining our own little spaces lol
What are some jobs i can do once i finish IT middle school this year?For those who dont know, middle school is secondary (specialized) education. After middle school u go to college (only 25% of my country does)t. in Serbia
>>107333249Companies don't need good programmers. They need slaves and yes-men to respond quickly to whatever nonsense the sector comes up with to make the fake number go up .
>>107333300Cold hard truth. Nobody gives a shit about clean or good or even performant code outside of FAGMAN edge cases where they need to optimize down to nanoseconds. Most of your job is basically dealing with bullshit and the only way to become irreplaceable is to make so write as much bad and convoluted code as possible so that the management needs you to clean it all up. Good programmers are only needed when it's your own product and you write it yourself.
>>107333163
If i work in AI do i count as a tech worker?
>>107333272I definitely enjoy improving my living space regardless of how small the improvement is.
indian niggas really name their kids "gurpreet" lmao
>>107333928or "harshit"
>>107333276Is this middle school between the ages of 16-18? Odd use of the term but i get it. 2 years of IT experience in a bootcamp environment should set you up pretty well for the workforce. If any IT certs are respected in your country like Comptia or Cisco then i would work on getting what the job market deems are relevant by looking at the job postings. Other than that IT works off of the back of computer networks so Comptia Net+ and Cisco CCNA is what you should be studying even if you don't complete the certs.Also what did they teach you at your IT school?
>>107331827Absolutely. T. freelancer from foreign country working for US company.
absolutely hairpulling resenting boredom after worki've tried hanging out with my friends and family, swimming indoors, nightwalk, whatevername me 1 fun video game that released after 2020 with no meta-irony or post modernism commentary, no bullet sponge, no insta kills, griefers, mindless repetitive dungeons, and bullshit PVPVEthis comes from someone who bounces either playing too much video games in 7 days to not playing video games at all in 7 months straight
>>107331827Freelancers are not hired, they're contracted.
>>107331981Just live life, bro. Like, be yourself haha.
>>107334287Devole your interests to 2d platformers. metroidvanias are still being made.
i am seriously fucking losing it bros. my only professional goal is to return to working in an office so my days can be filled with the sight of middlingly-attractive female coworkers walking around with visible panty lines. i literally don't care how much i get paid or if my boss is an asshole or anything like that. i need to see panty lines, ranging in intensity from "underwear seam discernible only in bright office lighting" to "ass cheeks so grotesquely indented by ill-fitting panties that there are five separate bitchy teams chats dedicated to mocking this woman's severe errors of fashion"i'm pathetic. i know it. but i need panty lines. GIVE ME OFFICE MILF PANTY LINES NOW
>>107332753Half the people I work with have stopped using AI because they found it too annoying. >>107333040I actually want to get drunk and jack off more, but I'm too busy with more productive stuff. Life is suffering.>>107333393I wish there was more of a culture of quality with actual standards instead of half assing everything quick. I've encountered too many programmers who either refuse to imrove, refuse to take any steps to guarantee long term quality, or in some cases are even proud that their works is a barely functioning dumpster fire. It makes us look like incompetent amateurs to anyone outside of the field.
>>107333393Your definition of a good programmer is pants on head retarded. A good programmer gets shit done, he doesn't max out DRY and Clean scores. A good programmer is one that helps the business profit. HR loves shit like Leetcode scores even though they have nothing to do with being a good programmer. Companies need good programmers that are able to help the company produce profitable products and services. That's what the current hiring pipeline is unable to do. If you change the definition of good programmer to be some Gang of Four nonsense, then of course companies "don't need good programmers" but it's yet another nonsense statement.
>>107332753My workplace is fully AIpilled but I've so far gotten away without using it too much. I've only had it reformat some documentation or confirm my suspicions on how some microservices worked.
>>107334778I'm seeing more job ads for junior developers recently, I suspect everyone will catch on by 2027 that AI isn't the silver bullet they hoped for.
Does anyone actually work the day before thanksgiving? Feels like it okay to just slack off today and play my steam deck.
>>107334801I'm waiting for the AI bubble to crash at the moment. The market's not healthy. Even if you're of the opinion that AI is the future of coding, you can't trust any of the current players to be the future. They're spending so much money for little return, and I have my doubts about many of them surviving. The Internet was the future too, but you're not buying your dog food from pets.com no matter how people invested in it in the dot-com bubble era.
>>107334866>and I have my doubts about many of them survivingThe government will bail them out like they did last time.
>>107334932Who bailed out what now?
>>107334938The government bailed out the big banks and the corpos. Do you really think Larry Ellison & co won't get a shitton of money from the governemnt if the AI bubble pops?
>>107334778You don't use it for managerspeak translation? It's useful for both decoding and encoding gobbledegook when emailing.
>>107334984>You don't use it for managerspeak translation?I've been at my new job for two weeks and still don't know who is my direct manager. The only position of authority that I know is the fucking CEO and we haven't talked since my first day.
>>107334976If you think there are any parallels between banks and AI companies, you're in for a rude awakening.
>corpos
>>107335009Are you mentally retarded?
>>107335023Are you? AI companies are not comparable to banks.
What exactly do people do in Hackathons?

>>107334778>Dear anon,>We have noticed that your productivity is too low. you have not submitted more than a few lines per day, while your coworkers have submitted PRs of 1k lines on a daily basis.>We are sorry to tell you, but if you continue on this path, we will have to let you go
>>107335368>we will have to let you goOh no, I'll have to go collect unemployment instead of having to work with a constant barrage of AIslop. How terrible for me.
>>107331827yup.t. working from EU for a US-based company
>>107334729Thanks, you just repeated what >>107333300 said with more words and sugarcoated it with positivity. You're what companies want.
Contractor life is getting cozy for me. Lots coming down the pipe and NOW companies want me for steady work after two years of silence. Gotta make choices soon. I don’t ever want to rely on a single job again, but may try to do two at once, max the finances, and get the fuck out of this place.
>>107335415Local contract or US contract?
>>107335505I feel like 2026 is going to be make and break for alot of companies. Tons of retail and construction places are shitting the bad due to the lack of customers coming in.
>>107335511US. pretty standard B2B freelancing gig.
>>107334090middle school is 15,16,17,18 or 3 years insteadi learnt C#, SQL, visual applications, a ton of theory (other things) and C++. also html css and javascript and php (with mysql)might have missed a few things.i also have a bit of experience over the years messing around with many kinds of projects, which i of course never finishedanyways, thank you for the detailed response. as i see it: see job postings, meanwhile work to get certificates, and improve my knowledge
>>107335807If you have the knack for programming then consider going into college for computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, or software engineering. Whatever they have available. Programming makes more money so the IT recommendation is really only if you want to work with server side applications in which case yes networking is the next step even if you don't do IT.
>>107335844thx anon, i am considering going to college. but i wanna make some money during summer break and i dont want to work in a mcdonalds (im shy)i definitely want to go for any of these: " science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, or software engineering."i enjoy every single one, with the slight exception of electrical engineering
>>107335879computer science is a dead field. everything in it is solved. any other field will allow you to make contributions to it that are significant because you can learn programming in two seconds if you are skilled at everything else.
>>107335903Your a dead field.
>3 YOE hell
>>107335903does software engineering imply computer science? ive been worried id end up jobless after college if i pick SE
>>107334287The King is Watching. 9 kings.Both easy to pick up and chill.
>>107334842I do before and after mostly because it's easy hours, little to no people, and if I sleep all the better.
>>107335983Its a similar subject but always choose CS or CE. if you don't then you should hit up some CS topics . I work in IT so some of the CS and EE related topics do carry over occasionally.
>>107335046The heavy tech AI companies are propping up the US economy, have hand in defense innovations, and piggy banks for EU with their flopping policies.I can see them getting quite a few breaks even if it doesn't come out to full recession bail out.>>107335093Networking event for nerds to learn new tech, take classes and participate in contests focused on defending or breaking into computer systems. Devices can extend beyond just desktop and anything you can think of.Quite fun as any tech topic you can think to talk on will have someone smarter than you or can converse with you as equals.

quick call?
>>107336048Can't find it but its a umamuseme character.
which app do i use to check the HDD health?this one and crystaldisk show that the HDD is clearly fucked, but point it as healthy. i need something that i can show to my client that's more convincing, explaining that ACTUALLY THE APP IS WRONG every time is tiresomewhich one is a better option?
>>107336057nah
>>107336084>this one and crystaldisk show that the HDD is clearly fuckedNo they don't
>>107335530what's your background? How did you get hired? Can you elaborate?
>>107335971>>3 YOE hell>hellanon... by this point you should be happy to have doubled your salary. if you didn't, you are fucking stupid.
>>107336084>all metrics clearly show the disk is healthy>tries to convince his customer it's not healthy anywayare you a disk salesman or something?
>>107336084I never used this in a workplace environment nore i have i used nmap or wireshark. Meme software at this point in the lord 2025. Just have 2 extra backups.
>>107336160>what's your background?over 20yoe in C++. currently I work on database engines. >How did you get hired?they contacted me on linkedin. I already had experience working on a similar product, so it wasn't hard to get that gig.
>>107336084>disk looks perfectly fine>try to claim it's broken anywayFor what purpose?
>>107336217>>107336264i don't even need the app to know the HD is fucked, i just want to make talking fasteri already dealt with dozens of these, upgrading to a SSD is cheap and pretty much always make the client happy
>>107336312You're a retard and you have no idea what you're talking about.If you want to lie to your customer then go ahead, but stop pretending you know what you're doing when you very clearly don't.
>>107336312>he thinks a hard drive that is also the sole drive in a computer and the boot drive being used is a sign of the drive failingHoly fucking retard man. You on the peak of mount stupid or something? Have you even attempted seeing what processes are hitting the drive with read/writes?
holy shit banks don't work during holidaysno payday this week
>>107336343Are you living paycheck to paycheck or did your company convince your retarded ass that bank holidays mean they get to just keep your paycheck forever?
>>107336357they won't hold it forever, I just was expecting it now for black friday n shit
>>107336383So you are living paycheck to paycheck
>>107336397it's tough out here, b
>>107336408Please survive anon. You are not going to make it.
>>107333406Ahhh Quentin Tarantino
>>107336383If you live paycheck to paycheck you should save money instead of wasting it on stupid shit
>>107336334first, keep in mind that this is a Intel Core i3-5005U with a mechanic HD, running win 10 in these is already a issueand yes i did, this a cubicle PC it does nothing but excelit's taking 10 minutes to even boot. and yes i also checked the startupthe response times sometimes spikes to 100 msthe RAM and CPU are doing relatively ok, only the HD is being the bottlenecki could spend a whole fucking hours to reinstall the OS, but i'm 100% sure it would just get slightly faster. i tried multiple times in these old machines i usually work, it's the same patternand more importantly, they hire me to make the machine faster not to save whatever is stored. they don't get satisfied if they machine gets slightly faster. most times they simply discard the old HDDi just want to talking with boomers
save money for what? money isn't going to be a thing in the next 5 years after global nuclear war
>>107336048https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/101225382
>>107336737based
Why aren’t you guys in tech healthcare? It literally recession proof and comfy as hell.
>>107336698>global nuclear warTwo more weeks.
>>107336698So you can survive at minimum 6 months of expenses without having to get evicted or your house foreclosed.
>>107336839Sure bro. Enjoy being forced to use 1 out of your 10 days of PTO tomorrow for Thanksgiving
>>107336695>it works perfectly normal for a hard disk that is being used as a boot/OS drive and also handling literally everything else>start sperging out about it being "broken" instead of just imaging the OS to an SSD and having the HDD remain a bulk storage device>Z0MG IT'S SPIKING TO HECKIN 100MS RESPONSE TIMES (1/10th of a second at worst)How are you hired for any IT work if you can't figure out the simplest things?
>>107337134He's probably help desk or doesn't have a job. IT is midwit haven.
>>107335386unemployment is barely enough to afford rent and is capped at 6 months. unless you are europoor in which case you are just working for the fun of it anyway.
>>107336839It also pays like shit.t. tech healthcare employee
>>107337281How much anon?
>>107337322>picforking kek'd and checked
>>107337322$80k
>>107337381Thats fine if you are mid way through your career. Its IT anyways. What are you a manager? if so then you and the entry level is getting fucked.I can barely find government jobs making more than 80k unless you work directly on military shit.
>>107337104I have 20 days. Seems like you’re in the wrong company.
>TS/SCI>200k starting>any job I want
>>107337402Lmao me and being manager. My social skills are fucked because I dislike socializing. I am but a simple fullstack engineer with a CS degree and some years of relevant job experience..
>>107337433Oh yeah you are getting fucked anon. Sorry for your loss.
>>107337430The environment for those gigs are intolerable in my xp, tho. Enjoy anon.
>>107337445Then again I am also not a good programmer.
>>107337465No doesn't matter programmers are getting like 1.5-2.5x the pay rate of IT guys. T. IT guy here who works with programmers on a few products.
>>107337470uhhh but programmers are IT guys??
>>107337430I had a TS/SCI Full Scope back in 2020 and I was only making like $100k.It was a butt-in-a-seat job though
>>107337516Different skill sets anon. Tech/Programmers/Coders make software and hardware solutions. IT guys just maintain it and maybe like me do QA on it(signed NDA). We deal with computer networks, VOIP, servers(at least half of it), desktops, and account management. Somewhat similar job to us are the guys that work on satellites, radios, antennas and radar but that is a completely different aspect of the job just like cyber security is.
>>107337403OK but are you forced to use some of that 20 for holidays and other days the company is closed? Or is it 20 + holidays? Or are you not in USA?
>>107337551I'm sorry I was being facetious
>GED>minimum wage starting>no jobs I want
>>107337743Go be a barber some of them are making 70k a year. It only costs 1k to start up(clippers, scissors, razor blades, disposables, cleaning supplies).
>>107335046You think they aren't borrowing enormous amounts of money against their company valuation in order to fund expansion? You think the billions upon billions of owed debt isn't going to affect the lenders when they inevitably crash and have asset values and revenue far below the borrowed principle?
>picked up a task from another team because I thought it would be insanely easy since it's just generating an automated report from our product.>our product doesn't allow filtering on more than one criteriaWHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT FUCK ARE YOU KIDDING ME THE FUCK
>>107337203>unless you are europoor in which case you are just working for the fun of it anyway.Sorta true, since I am European and have a couple of years' worth of living expenses liquid.
>>107337819If the lenders are financial institutions on the verge of crashing, the government wouldn't bail out the AI companies but the lenders.
>>107337983During 2009 after the banks got bailed out we bailed out the auto industry since its viewed as a strategic requirement for the next war. I think the big three will get it but alot of the smaller companies in the space are getting boned just like the smaller banks did.
>>107331687>be me(who else would I be?)>be making 75k USD >get new job for 110k salaried>it's the same thing but less work actually>life good if not a bit woke>2 months go by>get reached out to on linkedIn for 85USD/hr tech job that's even less work
>>107338016We don't need to bail out OpenAI and Anthropic because Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft and Meta are all making money and can do the AI shit too.
>>107338034They are paying you for your skills not your labor anon. This is why the higher up you get the more expensive the mistakes become. Less work is generally what it feels like but when it rains it pours.
>>107338038It's the dotcom bubble all over again. It'll pop, then things will level off to a more reasonable standard.But, of course, they'll bail out any that are 2b2f. It's American SOP at this point.
>>107338034fuck I hope you're me from the future.
>>10733815385Hr anon african children have more food than he does in his wage cage.
i'm a "cybersecurity "engineer"", i literally just write word docs that contain instructions for our prod people to deploy stuff on vendor softwaremost tasks i get are something like "whitelist this active directory group in this policy", or "edit these config files in a windows server", and i have to have endless calls with the business to understand what they actually wantnot sure how to progress. sometimes i try to switch to SWE/programming roles but always burn out and can never get interviews, plus i don't wanna spend 5 hours on leetcode every dayhow do i even increase my salary? by becoming a manager or architect or something? feels like i'm stuck here
>>107338196Become a le hacker man but you still have to leetcode and work with a bunch of tools that you can find on kali linux. Pay is alot better but in reality it's closer to programmers.

I wonder if there will be a shortage of Juniors after a few years, the majority of people that didn't make it should be giving up after the last 2 year and CS enrollment numbers are going down.
>>107339132>CS enrollment numbers are going down.I don't believe this for a second
>>107339132Sounds like law school were the numbers level out of those who get jobs after school and those who never do. Reality is that enrollment never drops off from the peak ever.
>>107332753Fuck me I hate this shit right here.
CS enrolment exploded so much over the last 15 years that it's no surprise if it has a little dip
>been interviewing tech leads from big boy corpos for a senior position latelyHoly fuck guys after these interviews I've realized why every gigacorpo is going down the drain lmao
yeah amazon is really going down the drain
>>107339229I'm in a gigacorpo and my tech lead is very competent but he's also the only other white man on the team and the jeets just ignore him
>>107339246They churned through way to many good employees so they are now left with the desperate. Fuck em they know it's a cost of growth.
>>107339189dont let that discourage you anons, if you are PASSIONATE about tech you will get a job because you actually love tech so much more than anyone else, they have to give you the job. personally, i told the interviewer i jack off to pictures of commodore 64s and ti84 calculators so he knew i really am just more passionate than all my peers.
>>107339246Amazon is Temu now but you pay more
>>107334866The AI bubble won't crash.It's not 1990 they can manipulate the market far more effectively.> but you're not buying your dog food from pets.com Nobody buys from pet.com but everybody buys from amazon.What will crash is the 1 billion AI startups.The top players will remain and dominate and be the infrastructure of the future.Everyone will build on top of these models.Think of how the cloud "crashed" by meaning that all these startups offering cloud services got deleted but AWS and Azure dominated and now everyone uses them.This is what will happen in the future.
>>107339246It's not just Amazon tho. The people we've been interviewing are from a wide range of corpos, even ones that are supposedly "good" when it comes to devs.The shit I've seen man... this is a fucking SENIOR to lead position, not a junior one. Some people acted like the last time they opened their IDE was 3 years ago
>>107339333And this is not an "anyone can apply" position mind you, people get screened for their credentials

I wish I could embody half the passion of the mutual hatred between Balkan states
>>107339333Many tech workers became lazy and complacent, or they were like that to begin with.
Im picking up threejs and p5js again hahahahahhahah
>>107339879I spend most of my day sitting in meetings or wrangling jeets. Making machines that work from the start is cathartic.
>>107340068The. You don't have to work. Enjoy time with friends and loved ones, pursue hobbies. Don't be such a buck broken slave that you can't imagine a life without laboring for someone else.
>>107340903If i was a rich kid i would've finished off a masters degree in person vs online and started a company already. Even with failure i can just mooch off of dividends, CD's and other investments while i focus on trying again later. I am far too anxious to not have something to work on. Even relaxing at home or at work is just a mix of dumb shit and learning something.
>>107340982were a rich kid*hypothetical, subjunctive mood
>>107340988Seriously having all that money means you can take more risks provided that you don't blow it on million dollar homes or some other rich person trap like jewelry, clothes or misc luxury goods.
No wonder timmies hate us.
>>107341049Why do indians hate Tim Sweeney?
>see manager has updated my ticket>ticket had titles "problem - task - testing scenarios">all she did was change the titles to "issue - requirements - scenarios"I resign in 1 day
bro thinks a million dollar home is some kind of "rich person trap"
>>107341163Oh sorry anon i meant to say multi-million dollar homes. But all that gets you is the suburbs of toronto.
Just had my final day working data science at a research non-profit for a position working on computer vision AI. How retarded was I?
>>107341177I enjoyed this image
>>107341208You can have it ;-D
>>107341124My manager (also a she) does the same thing but my I lose my stocks if I leave now plus things are not looking bright outsideJust gonna bear and grin it until things calm down, and I justify my somewhat ok pay with the fact that they probably want me to tardwrangle and teach seniles the same thing over and over until they stop forgetting
Are you guys doing anything to set yourself up for 2026 job moves?
>>107342304Yeah I'm saving money because I'm quitting in January
>>107333276You must be 18 years old to use this website
>>107336248I've used all of those... Wireshark especially.
>>107342394I assume this was working with an ISP? or likely small company?
Yeah I've got an ISP (Inhumanly Small Penis)
>>107338993Sir my cousin is more qualified for taking position I'm sorry but no redeeming
>>107342527Say less, you have your h1b
>>107342527Ha i have a massive 2.5 inch weiner if you are smaller than that then you piss on your balls.
>>107342413very small MSP and big company. Wireshark is incredibly useful. I'm honestly curious as to why you're dissing wireshark.
>>107342558I learned about it like 3 times in college and never once used it across the 4 companies i have worked for in 14 years of working. A mix of sizes for the companies btw.
>>107342558>I'm honestly curiousJust asking, but I'm genuinely curious why zoomzooms are so timid? Just asking! Haha!
>>107342565I used it about 2 months ago to figure out a persistent VoIP problem at a branch office. It's at the bottom of the tool box, but when you get everything else sometimes wireshark beats ripping out cables and trying new appliances..
>>107342688What was the problem and solution? I assumed you looked at it, then licked a window and did what everyone else does by resetting the port on the switch and resetting the VOIP configuration on call manager?

Hello anon, do you have time for a quick call?
>>107343006*calls anyways*
I never get tired of thishttp://conferencecall.biz/
any ICP man in?
>(automotive) embedded software engineerwhy did i choose to specialize in this tiny ass industryshould have just gone front end
>>107339333> Some people acted like the last time they opened their IDE was 3 years agoNot my decision.
>>107343184How do you pivot from ordinary embedded to automotive?
>>107340982There's a difference between doing something productive for yourself and working to make someone above you money.If you have all the money you'll ever need, why bother engaging with the shitty side of capitalism and why not out that drive, ambition, and effort into bettering yourself or having some kind of productive hobby. Y'know, make something, or learn how to do something that doesn't involve pointlessly making more money (or worse, making money for some leech employer).
>>107336207It's not about the money. It's about being able to get a new job. Every other job post wants 4+ or 5+ YOE. You also barely learn anything on 3 YOE.
>>107343404being a masochist, i supposemost automotive (at least in europe) is autosar so you hurt yourself by using products made by Vectorother parts, like the so called complex drivers, you buy or develop yourself. if you do it yourself then its, apart from the process, exactly the same as in all other embeddedprocesses and standards are (slightly) different between each field of embedded
>>107344007>autosaar
>>107344315wait until i tell you about the Successive-approximation ADC
the internet is going to be hell starting next year when AI gets good enough to make realistic imagesyears and years of research and trillions invested and in the end the only usecases for AI are cheating on tests and catfishing on the internetfucked up

Do you guys eat dinner with your CEOs?
>>107345296only on company get-togethers. it wasn't this fancy and there was much less dick sucking involved. at least that I know of.
>>107345296Why do you people even watch those clips? Just block them until the algorithm no longer recommends that shitty rage bait. This way those women no longer get any money.
>>107344997I guess everyone has a huge stack of cash
>>107345387Where will I get my (You)s?
>>107345735Pretend to be an obnoxious rustranny.
>>107345296No my company has 150k employees I’ve never met the CEO
Actually that’s wrong I met a CEO but he was fired 7 months later
>>107345998Local anon not so tough since being molested by CEO.
Life is too good sometimes it's scary
>>107346161GOOD MORNING SAAR
>>107339879are you one of those retards that viewed that shitty video about how factorio is just like le heckin programming and unironically believed it
Trying to finally learn vim at the remarkable age of 42Not fun that my brain is still wired to the wrong hjkl movements from 20 years ago when I played stepmania (j was up, k was down)>muh j looks like a down arrowNot a valid argument you sperg from the 70s
>might get fired because of a stupid project I'm in that was thrown my waywait i still get termination without cause for this right?
>>107345296At my last job, small company, the CEO wanted us to all meet in person so he flew everyone in from around the world for a few days of meetings and stuff. Then a month or so later he laid a bunch of us off after finding out the company didn't have the money to afford that big meetup.
>forced christmas party with our VP who laid a bunch of staff, never shows his face, and never gives direction to the team>group is small enough where I can't just blend in the backgroundhow the fuck do normies do it?
>Only 12% of graduates get a job after graduatingwhat the actual fuck
>>107331827Of course bloody saar. Make sure to bobble your head five taimes in interview
>>107346800i can suggest getting high on RC painkillers to make it a more palatable experience. this is my plan anyway.,
>>107347037ughhhh I already hate party settings. If I talk I spill too much, if I don't talk I'm an autist. I guess that's the trap they use.
>>107343617>why bother engaging with the shitty side of capitalismOk, I will bite... I inherited a bunch of Romanian real-estate...Having sex with dumb models is fun - for about 6 months. Then, you really need to find something 'productive' to do, even if it's just creating Java slop nobody will ever use.
>>107347222look bro, just take like 30mg of 7oh before you go. its not like alcohol where you abrasively and indignantly start talking about the jews to anyone who will listen.only downside is that its highly addictive so you gotta shelf it immediately after
>>107347261wait is this shit even OTC?
>>107346922everyone else got it before?
>>107347272probably not for long and its already banned in some states i believe

>>107347608Most barbers work without a license then get it so they can get a pay bump. I would say about half the barber's you have ever gone too have no license and the other half got it after saving up for 3 years. It's not that expensive since its rolled into a trade school format that way you are able to perform advanced styling for both men and women by the end of it.
>>107332003>I have a family with two childrenthat's on you. your price to pay. we incels pay our price but for that we get peace of mind knowing we can get by with little money.
>>107347710The price is mental illness which I suspect came before inceldom.
>coworker says "he'll be away for about an hour at 11"nigga you think we don't know you're taking an interview?
>>107347750Having a partner is immensely beneficial to mental health so it's the other way around probably
>>107332753they're not gonna pay six figures to the AI
>>107347755https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8CmC6LAm6IHe's actually jorking it anon.
>>107347774For corporate products they need to charge this like other licensing agreements at 10-40k a year. Ain't no way these AI companies would ever make money selling it at 50$ a month per user for the company.
Remember when back in the day you needed a 30 year old boomer to fix the stuff the indians break. Or to have a white face for the company to use.What happened to that? It seems to be over, they don't need the white 30 year old boomers anymore.
I was supposed to change jobs this year. I got spooked by the govt's unemployment metrics blackout. I'm pursuing promotions instead.

>>107331827yeah I am europoor I feel like an Indian
>>107347247Have you considered taking up an art?
>>107348411Frontend is a dead end, fullstack is the future.
>>107334287not a video game but drugs
>>107341163go back
>>107348819>Frontend is a dead endBeen hearing this about mobile for almost a decade now kek>OMG React is so fucking good it's fucking over, mobile is dead>HOLY shit with flutter you don't even need to be good and can make apps so quickly, mobile is dead>FUCK ai can just code your entire app in a few minutes, mobile is dead>Lovable/gpt wrapper/other slop doesn't even require programming skill, mobile is dead
>>107349000No, I meant frontend-only roles are a dead end. AI still isn't good enough to replace devs for any non-trivial project but it can augment them therefore companies expect more out of devs.
>>107349035>No, I meant frontend-only roles are a dead end.lmao
>>107349040Trust the plan fellow redditor. As long as you're PASSIONATE™ about computer science you will always land a frontend role. Just go to a company, give the manager a firm handshake and hand him a printed out version of your passion projects.

>>107349089The worst part is pretending to like it.
>>107349035>I meant frontend-only roles are a dead endFor you
>>107349089i swear people are pretending to like modern games just to have something to talk about. gaming just isnt fun anymore. everything is about the same god damn thing ive been playing since i was a kid except somehow worse.oh sweet dude a new battlefield with 5 tick servers, retarded spitball projectiles, and unstable fps on expensive hw? only 80 dollars? wow count me in bros.
>>107349147Yeah no shit that's why I switched to fullstack.
>>107349147what would happen if i gave you a backend ticket?
>>107349181Are you inviting anon to gay sex?
>>107349192it would be extremely delayed
Every single full stack dev I've know had junior level when it comes to frontend and 99% of the times they're terrible at CSS.
>>107349219Everyone sucks at CSS unless your only job as a dev is to build small SPAs from scratch by yourself in which case your life sucks regardless.
>>107349269>Everyone sucks at CSSNot me.
>>107349269>Everyone sucks at CSSits a step up from coloring books
>>107349219>99% of the times they're terrible at CSS.Point proven >>107349269
how can you be terrible in frontend? just claude it

Please just release the calderas and hit us with a moon size meteor already. I will take a pole shift and nuclear war also.
>>107349089what's wrong with that? o_O
>>107349089>>107349512Best part is being stared at if you dare to talk about something that isn't that
bake a new bread
>>107349600raise a ticket
>>107349629>4CHN-1: Automate thread creation after bump limit
>>107349512my favorite thing to hear is political takes in the form of sarcastic reddit quips.>oh but we cant let the poors have healthcare like civilized countries do!people will say stuff like this over and over and if anyone attempts to discuss or dispute it, the person will go completely rabid. i havent seen this at work but ive sen it irl a couple times.
>>107349760I have tried to counter with a handful of things in regards to housing, work and medical care but apparently being anti immigration is against the reddit math. I do find it funny they talk about unions but unions hate the work visa program, legal immigration and illegal immigration that tends to shut them up for a bit but then they counter that those blue collar unions(most are you retarded redditor) are redneck hicks and deserve to lose there jobs to illegals who work harder than them. Same goes with minimum wage needs to be increased. I say why bother if i was a business owner i would just pay 20 burritos to work under the table for 5$ an hour but ofc that isn't slave labor. Pure mental gymnastics for the updoots.
>mfw I have my coworker on steam and he's playing five hearts under one house during work hoursdo I call him out on it just to rib on him? he knows im playing during work time too.
>>107349089>try to get a conversation about books going>absolute silenceLast time I went to the office I just blasted black metal to make sure that at least I wasn't the only one not enjoying being there.
>>107349810My coworkers are mostly left-wing/greens but everyone knows better than to discuss political topics.
>>107349825>>have my coworker on steam>letting coworkers into your private liferetard
>>107349869eh he's cool. a little weird though. idk man if you're going to be this secretive against everyone you're gonna end up with no friends :(
>>107349865God i wish. The climate change shit gets me the most none of these people have principles. None of these people donate food to charity drives that we have at work (we have 3 every year and i donate 200$ worth of food every time making up 2/3rd the content). These people just want to virtue signal and larp as communists.
>>107349876never had friends to begin withlast time a coworker floated the idea of "sharing our steams" i'm pretty sure he was gonna try to dig on my online presence that sneaky evil backstabbing fucker, never gonna let that happen
>>107349512One of my favorite greentexts about this.Anon's office starts small talk about the number of sexual partners the coworkers have.Autistic anon had 6 hot exes (sexually failed upwards).Some retarded Karen says "Paying for it doesn't count, anon"> Cousins don't count either, SharonAnon gets sent to the HR office, Karen gets traumatizedFuck, 4chan sucks, but every now and then, there are glimmers of hope.
>>107349976Kek
>>107349976>talking about sex or politics in the office One way ticket to get yourself fired lmao. This is only fine if you work in some dead end job nobody cares about
>>107349988Fine for medical or government jobs. Regular civilian jobs are way to stuffy.
>>107348411I'm in the same situation with changing roles from backend to Data or ML/AI. The latter ones have more future, but I for sure can't afford lowering my wage due to lack of experience.
i got nothing to donothing to look forward tojust work -> stare at screen while listening to music -> go to bedare drugs the answer?
>>107350005>Fine for medical or government jobsYes, as I said dead end jobs nobody cares about L2R
>>107350047>Dead end jobsStay poor faggot.
>5 years in>still haven't ever done my taxesi was supposed to write off that 1k chair and shit

sirs
>>107350684
>>107349884Charities are mostly scams. It's better not to donate.
>>107338196Probably have to move somewhere else to get a bump. To advance your career you generally become more specialized like cloud security, AI security, infrastructure, etc.
