I trmember wanting to become an engineer. Working with technology seemed so cool. Also you got paid a lot. But the math was too hard. I had to drop out.But now I see a lot of engineers and other tech workers struggling? What the hell. I thought that softwarw engineers were supposed to program AI. Not get replaced by AI?
>>107632794western economy is fucked up, there is no actual jobs, only bullshit like delivery.ai bubble is keeping west from great depression 2.0dont be wagie, you'll regret living on wage in 2030's
>software engineer>engineerlel
It isn't AI, it's mass outsourcing to Asians
>>107632794AI is complete it doesnt need programming.all it needs now is more training data and bigger data centers.coders are obsolete
>>107632794That Shasta he's supposedly living in is like $30,000 and requires a truck that can reliably tow two and a half tons, minimum $40,000 vehicle on the low end.
>>107632794We've collectively programmed ourselves out of a job. Not a very smart decision on our part.Right now you still need some highly skilled people if you want to make good software. But you only a need a fraction of the people you would have needed in 2020.
>>107633621It was profoundly stupid for computer engineers and coders not to form professional societies like almost all other professionals in the US.
>>107632831>no jobs>don't be a wagie?what then?
>>107633357That piece of shit is not 30k. He doesn't need a truck if he doesn't tow it.
>>107633621>if you want to make good softwareName just one company on earth that still wants to make never mind makes good software.
What he was spending this 150k a year on? That he doesn't have anything left and has to do doordash? Maybe that's a problem, also.
>>107634057>What he was spending this 150k a year on?Funko pops and crypto punks.
>>107632794what a loser
>>107632794$150k sounds low as fuck for a software engineer. I work as a technical writer and make $140k ffs and I never even touch code.
>>107632885This, and jeets. Ai is just the cover excuse.
>>107634057The insane rents in Silicon Valley
>>107632831There's jobs in medicine.
Ten years ago, I was 25, I had to get my shit together and pay the bills, so I became a plumber. I've never really liked it, but there was always a lot of work.At 30, during the pandemic, I started improving my programming skills, thinking it might be a pleasant career shift.Boy am I glad I have service plumbing to fall back on. 100k a year, and pretty close to last on the automation checklist.
>>107634233lends into the theory make work jobs are to balance production with predictable consumption patterns.its not about the work persay, its all worthless to them, but the hierarchy and culture it disseminates through consumption.why I dont get comfortable at a job where everyone is married, mortgaged and motorized, those wages are there because a cosemetics factory either produces 0 or 5 million units, so you need x amount of officed young women that buys the stuff.even look at this guys pic, probably on his parents land, gardens his food, and than probably wastes it into >>107634169because there is nothing else to spend it on as it inflates away and debt service is not desired by design.not like its a free ride for them, you get treated like a pet in those places
>He's been rejected from 800 jobsThis is either:a) a lieb) misleading because he spams job applications via some automated shitty servicec) some coding bootcamp retard who shouldn't have had a job in the first place (hence why he was easily replaced with a glorified chatbot)d) a horribly off-putting and unlikable serial killer that nobody wants to interact with
>>107632794>I thought that softwarw engineers were supposed to program AI.MLchads do and are unironically in a new golden age right now. A good way to tell which side you're on: do you refer to the core tech behind these products as Machine Learning or "AI"?
>>107634381The details on the guy:>got a remote job at some FAANG for QA during 2021 >got furloughed this year with no savings> lives in bumfuck nowhere and tries to get another remote job but with only QA experience in tech for 5 years>competes with literal indians but asks 10X their pay>has always lived in a trailer
>>107632794>But the math was too hard.Math courses are the IQ gates of any half decent degree.
>>107634381e) completely made up fantasy for clickbait engagement + doomer ragebait (2025 gameplay meta)
>>107633621>Right now you still need some highly skilled people if you want to make good software.Nah, we only need overpaid data engineers so we can accelerate the AI expansion and put even more of the planet into debt!Who needs software? All apps in the future will be a single text box where you input something and the AI gives you the output.
