its not possible to find a job. you can't do it.

>>108130804
For now I am working for a company that really sucks.
Seems like every person is going and I am just using the time to learn and provide value.
At least I can claim rightfully that I was laid of due to company closure and get some neetbux for a while as I search for the next job later with more experience.

This is an absolutely hellish time to be looking for a new job anons. Unless you have some stupid strong skill and someone actively recruiting you, hold fast.

The economy is really fucking weak and thanks to AI hype BS nobody is hiring.

At least the bubble seems prime to burst in the next six months. Oracle's debt rating is shit and companies are hesitant to dump more money into datacenters that may never see a return. The stop of the endless money into the fire pit is the first step to recovery.

>>108131296
There is no bubble this is permanent, AI has replaced software people permanently.

ive always lived in hell because i can't interview for shit

ill answer really easy softball questions and they will look at me like im completely nuts. i have no idea why. i have 15 years experience.

when im out of money im killing myself

>>108131304
i work at a software company and this is bullshit, everyone is seeking justifiable gains to call it the next revolution, but you end up with maybe a few devs who can have it make code examples that are tweakable and they understand it compared to countless more that vibecode and shove unsustainable shit in that nobody understands how it works later and the thing comes crashing down

biggest part of the bubble is that the economy sucks ass and they're using "AI is making us more efficient!" as an excuse to placate investors that it's not actually a sign of weakness to be laying people off but actually a 4D chess move that the business is so innovative it requires fewer people to function

all of this is going to blow up once financial firms don't want to fund the datacenters. don't fund the datacenters then the entire pall sets that this is burning cash into a pit. burning cash into a pit without provable ROI means the AI companies implode.

Are traveling jobs still a thing? I'd rather spend 4 hours a week in a fucking airport than this shit FAGMAN gig at this point

Got myself a job about a month ago as a Junior. First project I work on is a decades old VB project with all the files at the root of the project, with generic ass filenames i.e "File1.vb" and they probably average a few thousand lines each. Creds are hardcoded, SQL Queries are basically just string concats. Ill probably go bald trying to maintain this.

Still, a job's a job, can't really complain.

i use to blame the interviewee, but things have really changed anon. its not you, its the interviewers. they probably want a women but can't just openly deny interviews to men. or its a fake ad that they are forced to advertise so they can claim they can't find locals and why they need, conveniently, cheaper labor imported.
i graduated in 2012. obtained my first job in 2013, and worked until 2021. i left the industry because around 2015 things really started to change and after corona it accelerated. i now just work as a service advisor at a dealership in the service department. job is steady, less stress, less work, and decent pay.
just find another job anon. go work anything else. tech industry isn't like how it use to be.

I'm too drunk to ask a question. And I'm too incompetent to gauge my own performance.

For everyone else, is it like this? Day-to-day I don't feel the pressure necessary to be a good person, let alone useful. It's not about losing money or status, it's that since getting there things feel not "unsafe" enough (not physically: administratively and whatever you call it about ojectives being critical or not)

I don't feel complete freedom to go "X is broken and I don't care" but when I go "X is broken" and I know it goes a few levels up someone can go "R reported that X is broken and I don't care." As much as I complained about the military, it was all about levels of care and where it was placed. Here, I have learned some lore, I have a vague understanding of how things work from either side, and it seems like from everyone there is a sense of
>This is not what's making us money/This is not's what getting us value for the contract. We, on the ground, care. But in our world, god is a project manger who retired ten years ago. And god ran out of money long before that."
>God has left this world, and we are here to maintain it. Do your best.

unironically actual realpost in my core job i only got to go to the coast because I was already assistant to the ISA for like six months and my name appeared in tickets, and when I got there I only made a name for myself because I was able to fix things and make top shot every range day on top of that then on. And I got into that field because I needed the fucking money and there were no jobs for anyone at my skill level.

You ever wonder why the CF is considered at least "pretty okay" among NATO? This is the average staff. 99 IQ psychos with other training before ever going in. Red seal chefs making food on the boats for IT monkeys prying apart panels to repair wiring and all of them have only never shot anyone for lack of need.

Ships are offices with missiles strapped to them. It took me a lot of restraint to tell my recruiter way back "Yeah, I wrote a chase missile suite once, and have strong opinions on frontal canards"

I hate that I can't make things better at my job.
It felt a little different in the military. It's the same sort of "here's the equipment, here's the contract, just make it work" but the "just make it work" part feels wrong where I work now. It's the same sort of begging for parts, navigating byzantine supply systems, and doing it all within confines of contracts, but even with my entire team being ex-mil, something feels different and it feels way worse.

My big boss was in Afghanistan, and I hate to compare myself to him (so cool! so deranged! keeping it together!!), but he put it off the cuff once for some nonsense thing

>back to the war, where things made sense.
I've never been to war, and I've never fired a shot in anger. I'd like to keep it that way. But even my nonsense prior job there was some sense like that. I've found myself lost in nightmares during turnovers. Not in a crazy awful way, just like, old boys obviously on the precipice of telling their war stories and I'm searching for one myself, inbetween us all describing why some system is acting up and no one knows why, no one knows how to find out other than aggressive invasive diagnostics, and what documentation there is is scraps gleaned off of ghosts and shadows.

I love me some invasive surgery on computer systems, but that is not our place and usually it's a software issue from some ancient proprietary system anyway. As much as I'd like to tell people "I'm first response; not surgery, let alone diagnostics, and once the patient is out of the EMTs' hands it's a three week recovery minimum" it still feels bad to be not able to fix the problem.

And these days, I can't even hide behind "Chill out; it can wait until I'm not about to be shot at!"

I started using claude recently because customer is all-in on AI and expects us to deliver at crazy speed now. I hate it, it makes everything way too easy for me and I fear it'll dumb me down over time. I just started making late lunch and my stupid brain thought for a split-second "Maybe claude could do this for me". Jesus fucking christ I'm going to wait for my contracts to end and then I'll buy land in the woods and build a cabin to live there as a hermit.

You ever bring something to your boss and he wants you to test a more convoluted solution instead but you're just like....fucking why?

I daydream of one day having enough money to buy a house in a cozy small town. Fall back on my real engineering degree, maybe teach part time. Work on fun side projects.

But I know there is no amount of money that will ever be enough. I will never be safe. Willingly taking a pay cut and relying on savings is too terrifying.

Through some fucking stroke of luck, apparently I'm a top candidate for two positions. One is hybrid (2 days/wk in office), $110-120k range. The second is fully remote but caps out $100k starting.

First role is your typical modern full stack role, second seems more web dev / admin dashboard type stuff. Probably easier but less fulfilling for me personally. Assuming I get an offer from both, which would you take? Should I try to counteroffer to get a higher salary from the full remote gig?

>wait until they need to do layoffs, or start implementing retarded HR policies, or want 'metrics' to see what department to downsize
The layoffs part definitely will some at some point, that that would be shitty indeed, but it's still better than doing some of the stuff I had to do before when I was alone.

It does when the people suck. But I did all of my own hiring and I've built a cool team of people I enjoy working with and that are quire competent, and I've taught myself, so actually it's nice. If I was parachuted into a different team where the level of incompetence is much higher I would probably have a very different opinion.

Then I'll swipe on hinge to get my 1 asian match and 0 white woman matches every 2 weeks. Then Ill jack off any remaining frustration the gym didn't dispose of. I'll then be in a relaxed state to do some side project stuff. After I will think about a hypothetical move to Toronto where there is more vagina. Think "oh fuck that place sucks, there is no nature and there is nothing to do there either, how will I ever meet people? I work from home.

No they won't. You now have experienced programmers saying this. They even go as far as saying that they've never enjoyed programming more despite writing <10% of the code themselves.

I personally cannot relate.

>>108140057
the programmers are saying that because the management wants to hear that
I literally said the same thing to my client a week ago, because they're AI cultists and it made me a guaranteed hire
you need to understand that what people say and what people think have almost zero correlation to each other
once management quietly starts talking about "the value of artisanal code" or whatever the fuck they call it everyone will shamelessly do a 180

>>108140057
>I personally cannot relate.
I had to write 1000+ lines of complex code by hand this week, no AI allowed and stackoverflow is dead anyway. My brain is absolutely burned out from thinking so hard. This is why I want to use AI and delegate most of the actual logic to it while I focus on filling the gaps.

>>108139998
There's absolutely nothing positive about tech. RTOs, shit job market and AI slop pull requests have sapped most people's energy.
>>108140072
I know, I've had to tell it to my boss too. Though what's jarring is that programmers online are saying this. People who have actually shipped shit. Maybe I've just not done this long enough or I am not busy enough to feel the pressure to use AI this much.

>>108140104
they say it online to build a brand or whatever
it's signaling
plus, if I was coding for fun with no management retard trying to triple my workload now that "AI" is going to magically make me work more then I'd also agree with them

>got invited to interview for some generic senior level software engineer role by the glowies
>job listing doesn't mention a stack, just "competency in oop"
what should i expect? 4 rounds of leetcode?

I just got hired by the new owner to modernize a very old company. His son is someone I know through mutual friends. They only have five employees, and they have all been there for around 20 years. The entire stack is Java. Clicking almost any button takes seconds to load the next page, and the app feels like it came straight out of 2005.

What surprised me is that the senior dev who got assigned as my buddy is genuinely excited to update things, and I have his full support. Even so, I want to move in a friendly, respectful way so everyone gets on board without feeling like they are being pushed off a cliff.

My background is mostly Next.js and TypeScript. I also use a lot of Python, but it probably is not the best fit here. This is a web app used by banks for banking workflows, with databases, integrations, and everything that comes with it.

A friend of mine runs an international money transfer company, and they use Kotlin, which he praises nonstop. Should I try to push for Kotlin, either full stack or just for the backend? I cannot even print “Hello, world” in Kotlin yet, but I am confident we could learn it quickly. It seems like the perfect middle ground because it is completely interoperable with the existing code and far easier for Java developers to transition to than a completely new ecosystem.

>Just stay on Java and remake or improve the codebase
I have considered that, but I really do not like Java. I also think it is weaker from a marketing perspective compared to saying we are on a modern, "better Java" stack.

I'm in a weekly call with one of our vendors, no idea why, i never talk; i think it was a meeting that my boss suggested i attended to get a feel for the company and ive just been attending them for like, 9 months now.

The only time i actually enjoyed this vendor meeting was when one of the vendor's IT guys, this pajeet, started screaming about how offended he was asking if people thought he was incompetent (he was yelling at his coworkers, not us). Like, "bloody bitch bastard how dar you offend me sarr you think I'm so lowly" or something like that. It was actually amusing and the meeting had a mandatory consent policy for meeting recordings and I don't recall if I ever heard that indian again after that, but then again i didnt care much to notice him prior to his sperg-out either

You're working in a bad company.

the company i work at has me not doing all that much work. maybe a day's worth of work a week. and i make 100k a year. i have to physically come into the office once a week and they won't me go fully remote.
i kind of hate where i live. it sucks.

i'm doing ML work. it's a non-tech company and i basically do full pipelines. selecting models, training, deployment, etc. mostly image classification stuff, some thermals.
i talk a lot with engineers and higher-ups. the work is kinda cool.

i feel like maybe i'm hamstringing myself by sticking here because i'm not really "gaining skills". the work isn't hard. is it worth trying to go somewhere else where i'd have to actually work in exchange for more money?

>>108138805
lol, i remember this

Today I went to a job interview. At first, everything was pretty normal. We talked about where I’d worked before, why I left, my strengths and weaknesses, the usual stuff. The vibe was fine, and honestly, it wasn’t going badly.

Then someone I assumed was from HR said, “Lately, we’ve been trying a different method to get to know candidates better.” I thought it was about to turn into a tougher round of questioning, so I just nodded.

Instead, they asked if I use ChatGPT. I said yes, like most people, I use it occasionally. That’s when they asked me to take out my phone and open the app.

They wanted me to type this prompt:

“Based on my past conversations, can you analyze my behavioral tendencies?”

They explained that their goal was to “objectively understand a candidate’s thinking patterns and interests.” Almost like a digital personality analysis. They said we would review the results together on the screen.

I froze for a moment. It honestly made me uncomfortable. What I write in ChatGPT feels personal. It is private. I politely declined and said I was not comfortable sharing that.

The atmosphere shifted immediately. They said “of course,” but their expressions changed. After that, they asked a few more generic questions, but the energy was different. The interview ended much sooner than I expected. I was out of the office in under 30 minutes.

Afterward, I kept thinking about it. Is this really where we are now?

The idea that what you write to an AI could become part of a hiring evaluation just feels strange to me.

>>108142622

I deleted one conversation, then later started a new one and for some strange reason asked why it brought a specific part of the deleted conversation up (like make and model) and it told me that because we had previously discussed it

I told it i deleted it and its reading deleted messages and it insisted it couldnt. I told it, if thats true, since i deleted the conversation before the new one started, how it knew the contents of that conversation. It just kept insisting that it cant read deleted messages, now matter how much you enforce the truth and the fact that it is it just denies it every time

one of my colleagues, with a wife and kid, trooned out. in 2026. i guess part of being a tech worker is playing along nicely with this dumb game and not chudding out :(

go outside into the woods bro, you will see wildlife like birds and rabbits and maybe coyotes and deer and squirrels and such
insects
all sorts of stuff
if you don't live near woods then you need to move near woods

It really depends on the team and client you are basically attached at the hip with.

Team members are usually more tight knit because you can't stab each other in the back without fucking over everyone else.

You just have to hope you don't get a screaming banshee at the client's end

Depends on whom you're outsourced to.
I had a short stint at a firm like that and it was pretty chill, even though I mostly worked with legacy shit.

if i was forced to live in the city and had a balcony i'd have a dovecoat and be getting free eggs (albiet quail-sized) and free pigeon meat every day and i wouldnt even have to feed them much, maybe just attract them with a safe place

I went for a walk on the way to get groceries and saw these ducks. They all came over to me because they probably thought I had food, but I didn't have any. Now I feel bad for wasting their time and energy. I often see rabbits around, but didn't see any today.

Do any of you listen to audiobooks / podcasts while you work? How do you do it? My coworker says he gets through 2-3 audiobooks per week while on the clock and I can't see how working on complex tasks while listening to an audiobook wont fry your brain in 30 minutes and tank your performance drastically

>>108147351
why the fuck are you working on complex tasks? 90% of tasks are crudshit

>>108147361
I mean I could just use a coding agent or something but I'd like to get better at programming while working

What are your thoughts on project managers?
To me they seem superfluous, that all these meetings are junk and it would be more productive to put the effort into just making the product.

it's the best job I could ever have... though things have gotten worse lately, sadly.

ETHERNET CABLE IS WORKING AGAIN

A few days ago in one post I talked about my home internet trouble (Ethernet cable doesn't work and I loss 100% packages everytime) and today I found solution.

How I found a bug

After learning OSI model, which explains how internet works I started to check all OSI layers on my home, from L1 (physical) to L7 (Application)...

It's didn't give me a results, and I started to use terminal commands, again.

It's don't give me results over and over, but, when I check ping packages an idea came to me "maybe I have a configuration issue on router LAN-ports?".

Wireshark

After installing this app, I started to check next parameters on my router:

• IP manipulation
• ports parameters
• cables working (IP-packages lvl)
• IP-packages dublicates
• CRC/ARP errors

Bug was hidden in the "port parameters" & "cables working". It blocked traffic (IP-packages transfer error).

Solution

Step 1: Reset router LAN-ports
Step 2: hardware reboot
Step 3: speed synchronization
Step 4: cables working
Step 5: connection reboot
Step 6: router firmware

I did this!

Depending on the commute and your situation, the amount fully remote saves you may easily make up the salary difference desu.

>>108149331
That's fantastic news! Glad to hear your Ethernet cable is working again. Your systematic approach—checking OSI layers, using Wireshark, and inspecting router configurations—demonstrates a solid understanding of network troubleshooting. Resetting the LAN ports and verifying hardware and firmware updates are often overlooked but crucial steps. Thanks for sharing your detailed process; it can be really helpful for others facing similar issues. If you need further assistance or want to share more of your tech adventures, feel free to reach out!

At least do some research before jumping to a particular language. Kotlin is much less popular than Java despite being newer. You know the saying: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

>>108149639
>swift at the bottom
hey thats me!!!!

>>108140523
Have you done performance profiling to identify exactly what is taking the bulk of the time when you click a button and it takes seconds?
I wouldn't try to change the language or even change a significant part of existing code until you are 100% sure why it is slow. There might be some very simple and easy things you can do to make it much faster.
It doesn't matter if you like Java or not, they are paying you to make things better, and rewriting in a new language almost certainly won't achieve that unless you are a very high performer in both languages.

>>108148788
why have things gotten worse?

someone bake please

bunch of people got fired for stupid reasons which made me wary
new bosses want numbers and lines to go up, so they pressure us to work more
new bosses want to show off, so they get creative and ask us for shit that has nothing to do with our roles
&c.
I'm getting fucking tired of this company.
