I have never met a programmer who does it out of passion. They all tell me, “I only do it for the money,” and I have come to the conclusion that learning to code is easy.
are frogfags just incapable of making a good thread or something? i don't think i've ever seen a good thread with pepe as the OP image
>>107481185>le passion for code Literal Reddit-tier sheepbrained whinny faggotry. It’s the tech industries unique brand of “we’re a family” corporate koolaid that retards guzzle to gaslight themselves out of recognizing their own incompetence, much like “imposter syndrome”. Actual girlbrained mental deficiency to believe something so inane and patently bullshit.However you personally “feel” about your work is intangible and irrelevant. Work is to make money, period. And not all jobs are created equal, not even remotely.
>>107481390Yeah I've seen some dudes try to gatekeep the industry by saying stuff like you should only get into CS if you are passionate about it, or if you want to make serious projects or whatever. Imagine if lawyers said that you should only get into law school if you love the constitution lmao.
>>107481848It's not about gatekeeping idiot, the job market is absolutely fucked and people getting a 4 year degree in the hopes of making $300k a year straight out of uni are in for a rude awakening when they realise they're competing with an endless drove of Indians willing to work for pennies on the dollar and LLMs purporting to do 10x the work they do for $200 a month
>>107481848It’s funny that it’s always the high earnings to effort ratio jobs that people quack on about passion. Maybe if you wanted to be an English professor or something. Either way, “passion” is an intangible abstraction and empirically a nothing burger
>>107481185I met one once, a very creepy guy who whispered constantly, had the whitest skin I've ever seen and nails so long he kinda resembled Nosferatu.but holy shit he could code in Assembly like an Elder God, and knew a dozen variations of it
>>107481185They’re all either sysadmin hiding in their caves or 60 year old retirees on yachts like Karmac and Newell.
>>107481185Working on personal projects is fun, getting paid to write bloated webslop with AI is not.
>>107482643this, I started out of passion, but making your passion a job is a mistake after all
>>107481185Well now you've met me, so I guess you can delete your thread. I've always wanted to be a programmer since 7th grade because i thought it was the coolest thing ever. And now I am one, although I work for state gov so I get paid shit
>>107482643>>107482709most of the reason I no longer like programming is because I went to school to study it and got a job doing itonce its work its impossible to ever enjoy something again
I do program out of passionbut I'm definitely not employed out of passion. that faded away pretty quickly.
