>>108091883first for take out tens of thousands of dollars of debt to do a degree all your peers are doingcomputer science, any personality disorder i want, 0k starting.
I just got a swe job at a company without a single jeet working for it. Just how lucky did I get?
What's your exit strategy? You don't plan to write code in your 40', right?
>>108092995I'll be out by 30
>>108092995mine was to buy land and to either install a solar PV plant or scam someone into doing so... but the plan isn't going well :(>>108089989people have already been doing that for a while, so, yes.
>>108092061You are off to a great start fren. If your manager(s) are chill too cherish it while it lasts and don't fuck it up.
>>108092995I am 37. at least you have time to learn a trade
>>108092995It was the stock market but I just a major chunk of it, so now my exit strategy is a noose
Should I go for CCNA or CISSP?
The future is unemployment, jeets, and AI. How do you feel about that?
>>108092995I'll be doing this job for as long as it still exists.
Should I stop visiting /utwg/ for laughs? It might kill my confidence when engaging with the bosses.
My disgust for technology has been growing over the last few years and AI was the final nail in the coffin.If everything goes according to the plan I'll be working as a mailman by September.
>>108094253Kinda funny ngl
>>108094498I hope it works out for you anon
>>108094702Thank you.
>>108094498>mailmanah, so you want a legitimate reason to kys
>>108092995I moved to a low-taxation country and I still need about 5-7 years of pulling a decent salary before I can call it quits and become a subsistence farmer like my grandparents were.
>>108094253It is interesting since there are a huge amount of office jobs that should be gone way before software development is hit, but software developers are massive fucking autistic idiots and have a hard-on for sabotaging their own industry.The average HR whore is not okay with working with turd worlders ("it's called a "cultural fit", honey") and they do not care about improving their own productivity or providing some ultra gay ideological open source work to big tech FOR FREE.
>>108091883this is genuinely the worst op i've seen so farcongrats
it all so gay and theres nothing to work towards other than to signal status, no higher cause, no community, nothing
>>108092061depends. where is the company located?
>>108093731>I am 37and you're still writing code?
>>108094498fuck off. we're full>t. postal worker

At some point you have to stop asking for motivation…and start becoming the person who doesn’t require it.Motivation is a visitor.Discipline is a tenant.Standards are the owner of the building.This morning I didn’t feel inspired.I didn’t feel energized.I didn’t feel “ready.”So I showed up anyway — because professionals don’t wait for feelings, they schedule results.Here’s the uncomfortable math:If you improve just 1% every day, you won’t look impressive tomorrow.You won’t look impressive next week.But in a year, people will call your consistency “talent” because they didn’t see the quiet days.Send one more message.Learn one more concept.Refine one more detail.Stack enough “one mores” and suddenly people think you’re unstoppable.No secret hacks.No overnight miracles.Just standards high enough that quitting feels embarrassing.Who’s raising their standards today? #Consistency #ProfessionalMindset #Growth #Standards
>>108091883All my discord friends are /g/iggers, what do?
>>108095728you could tell this is a linkedin post from the second sentence
>>108095756I imagine it's also slop considering the em dash.
>>108095728this entire "striver" culture was appealing to me when I was 18 and had nothing going for me, now that I'm 24 I find it repulsive because 99% of the people with this mentality produce nothing and either live off selling courses / motivational bullshit, are scammers, or make useless abstract products like AI bullshit. Nobody that actually makes anything of value speaks like this.
>>108095788Most people use punctuation.Leaders use the em dash — intentionally.Why? Because the em dash isn’t just grammar — it’s clarity in motion.Average writing: safe, predictable, forgettable.Em-dash writing: bold — decisive — impossible to skim past.When you replace hesitation with structure, something powerful happens:Your thinking sharpens — your message lands — your presence expands.I challenge you today:Write one email where every sentence says exactly what you mean — no filler — no hiding — just clarity.Because communication isn’t about sounding smart — it’s about being understood.And people who are understood — lead.Small details create unfair advantages — even punctuation.Who’s upgrading their writing today — starting now?#Communication #Leadership #WritingSkills #DetailsMatter
>>108092061I work in a company like that too, the pay is a few k below the average for this position, but it's worth it for the 100% white people (and 80% homeoffice)
My project manager made some comments in my PR the other day about variable naming etc that sound like he is a bit exasperated with me.I actually go to great lengths to make my code actually good, in simpler ways he probably doesn't even notice, and more important than some naming mistake. Such as keeping classes simple with separate goals, making code so that even a big change in the data model still wouldn't break most of it, going over it over and over so it's as simple as possible and unlikely to have unexpected bugs, making it very easy to expand later, and so on. Whereas this idiot makes everything he touches unworkable with a bunch of global variables, everything has side effects on other modules and everything is interconnected in unexpected ways. I said this to him and thought he understood, and he's still doing it kek.I've gone through many work conflicts and I know how this works, and I know this won't get better, I'll never get a raise, and can at most just stall this until I leave for a better job. So in order to stall the situation I told him that he is right and it wasn't intentional, and I'm doing great efforts to write good code. I don't think he actually notices any of what I do, though, kek.This is a comfy as fuck 100% remote job that only takes a few hours a week btw. But lately I've been wondering if I could make a lot more money by lying on my resume, hence the part about looking for a better one.
>Be CS thirdie who just graduated>Get comfy fulltime job where I did my last internship>Not bad, but have always dreamed of working in the USA>Think about how the local market is tough for juniors and how it is worse for Americans>Those recent Amazon layoffs flooding the market with even more competitionHows everything going, fellow Americans? Is it really bad for juniors over there?
>>108095788with some posts you can just tell there's no real thought behind itpeople write based on their thoughts prior to writing, and they have feelings, goals and ideas that are reflected in the text, as opposed to just trying to put together words about a topicyou can tell from subtle giveaways, i dont even know how to explain it, but this is the best way to notice if something's slop, you can't rely on em dashes because then you'll be easily fooled by people removing them, or even by some new AI with a different writing style than chatGPT
>>108095788and yes this was slop"discipline is a tenant" is retarded considering the context here, tenants leave too. "standards are the owner of the building" makes no sense. then he basically changes the topic from discipline being better than motivation to "slow improvement". this is not someone who is trying to make a point and tell people something he believes (no matter how dumb), but just an AI that its only goal is to put together words related to the prompt
I really don't know what I'm doing with my life anymore. been on vacation for a week, and I've done nothing of what I had planned... and I still don't have a plan to travel somewhere. I feel like I'm falling into depression simply because of my messed up sleep schedule, even though it's summer in my side of the planet.
I tried Claude Code this weekend. It's 100% over, bros. The industry has a year at most. This shit is amazingly good now, smarter than the average jeet and less sloppy. I don't have an exit plan. I'm too old to lern2weld. What the fuck am I supposed to do? I'm ok for now, but in 5 years how am I supposed to keep a roof over my head? Shit is fucked.
>I am stupid and a fancy autocomplete will replace me this means you're all doomedI don't get it
>>108096365lmao>making an app with claude>tell it to add a request manager with a library that fetches a bunch of data when I open a certain view in the app>it shits out 400 loc in 10 minutes>try it out>app starts freezing for seconds at a time>claude has no concept of threading, so it runs ALL of the functions on the main thread>even the shit that's explicitly marked as "RUN THIS ASYNCHRONOUSLY" in the documentation>best part is that it even fails to process the data, every fetch request throws an erroryeah it's 100% over
>>108096411AI is just a glorified markov chain generator.
>>108096411Ok, and when you explain the mistake it fixes them. You can also make it test it's own code.
>>108096451So are most developers, honestly
I don't get why they don't use some pseudo-language for LLMs that transpiles to whatever language and function/feature there exists in said language. I mean, I only know the basics, most fundamental of LLMs, and even that is incomplete, but, wouldn't that be a good idea for a machine that produces shit based on statistics? am I retarded for thinking this?
I am going to create my own saas product to sell b2b and then monetize it. And I'm smarter than a jeet or a /g/ neet so I can vibe code it correctly. I feel like there is a market for it even though I did not do market research (but there is no one doing the thing I want to do in the exact and advanced data-analysis type way).No, I'm not telling you my idea.But my biggest problem right now isn't technical. It's getting enough motivation to work on a project for no pay and uncertainty that it will make money.But it's a data driven schema-first ui second type project, so it would be difficult for some vibecoder to copy it.
>>108096540>when you explain the mistake it fixes themGuess what lobotomized drones via vibe coding can't do.
>>108095788>>108095854aren't em dashes just commas for models?
>>108096540and what happens when the mistakes aren't glaringly obvious? Do you seriously think all vibecoders are reviewing the thousands of loc that get spit out every hour? lmao
>>108096749If it's a good idea some freetard will copy it and give it away for free. Software is fucking over. There is nothing anyone is willing to pay for.
>>108096733wow you just invented Java
>>108092061Considering that Indians pretty much only work in FAANG/ FAANG-adjacent top tech companies, which are dream companies for every tech worker but extremely competitive to get into and succeed in, you're probably not really lucky. Ignorance is bliss tho.
>>108096910I mean, yeah, LLMs for bytecode. wouldn't that make things a lot easier?hell, maybe you guys could do something like that, targetting the Java VM, WASM and other such langs/technologies
>>108096961>my dream job is working with smelly jeetsThat's pathetic.
>>108096961>FAANG>dream companieslmao. Nobody has wanted to be anywhere near a FAANG company for years. That's why they need to pay so well, because otherwise nobody competent would be willing to work for them.
>>108097076Why is that? Where do competent people want to work?
>>108097065>>108097076>b-being successful means you're a jeet!!!lmao loser mentality>>108097293competent people work at "ball bearings solutions, inc." in the middle of nebraska making $60k a year, obviously.
>work at faang >recruiter reaches out asking me to join their consultant firmI almost want to respond just to see wtf they think I would possibly get out of maybe working at the same company I do know but for less pay and less benefits
>>108095622>>>I am 37>and you're still writing code?what do you think? just because you are older and have wife and children, you suddenly get some soft skills and are able to become a leader to escape the grind? lol
>>108096849Stop asking questions, okay???
