repet for a couple of times and there you there you go, in barely one day you know it all
anyway are you reading or watching something like manga in JP or anime or games/visual novels? don't fall for the "do a 10k kanji anki deck and follow this long ass grammar guide I will never memorize entirely before I start engaging with the language in any capacity" meme, motivation is key, just find something that you like and start grinding with a dictionary in front of you (if it's digital then you can Yomitan, it's very easy to install and now you have a mouse-over dictionary)
just keep at it for 2 weeks (14 days) and if you don't give up you WILL improve, godspeed anon you are the most based person I met this week

Morning
-Sketch a drawing for 30 minutes
-Study jp for like 1 hour
-excel formulas for 1-2 hours

Afternoon:

- learn webdev again from scratch, in hopes i can at least be good at laravel. No matter what I'll keep holding on to laravel for at least 2028
- do take home test if any
- if my parents gave me some documents to work on, I'll take it.

Evening:

interfaces are a meme right?

>>108255293
They have their uses, but I prefer to not create one until absolutely necessary (i.e., for testing)

Or what if we had an interface for our interfaces, wouldn't that achieve more abstraction?

>>108255293
I got denied from a job because I didn't know what an interface was that meant I was too inexperienced and not that it's a retarded meme type that has no use case

>>108255330
It's just a class where you define all the methods you're going to actually implement in a different class. No you don't create objects of the interface you create objects with the class where you actually defined the methods not the interface where you say what methods you're going to implement in a different class.

>>108255274

>>108255358
They make it easier to swap out implementations and they make unrelated classes share common behavior despite not necessarily being related.

If you have a function like:
myFunction(myClass)
{
myClass.myMethod()
}

If you use an interface you're forced to write classes that implement myMethod() so any of them can be swapped into myFunction.

}

and NOW you can swap in any class the implements that interface. Jesus freaking HC whyn't no one ever just say that?

This is why i believe tech is a joke. Some people can get by just by knowing 1-3 things for the rest of the career. Some people feels like they have to be good at 4-10 more things too just to feel like they are good enough to be hired or "to stay in the game"

I know QA guys currently employed with only knowledge of just Jira for like 3 years now. I know Postman, Selenium, xpath, and Playwright, basic webdev, 12 months of experience, yet i still cant get hired again.

I know web guys who only sticks to react and node and they get by with it for 10+ years, rarely stress about it, goes upwards anyway getting richer every 2-3 years.

You forgot the game was about connections you have not the amount of knowledge you crammed in your head. Fucking autist.

>>108255663
The probably did and you just didn't get it until now. Anyway interfaces are not a "meme" like people are saying (most retarded thing I've read today). Its one of the most important concepts to understand because its what allows you to write generic orchestrator code once and apply it against many different classes. If you didn't have it you'd be at best copy/pasting that orchestrator code or at worst coming up with some sort of monstrosity to handle all the different types of classes.

Easiest example is imagine you have a collection of objects. Its easy to write code for that collection when all the objects are the same class, but what about if you have 2 types of classes? You now need 2 different collections, one for each class type. Now imagine that there's some sort of priority involved with using the objects in those collections, such as you need to run an object with priority 1 first, then priority 2, etc. You now need to keep track of where you are in each collection, and check each one to see which has the highest priority before running. All of this is avoided with interfaces, or rather "dynamic dispatch" is the actual term for what interfaces are facilitating.

great, I'm so glad I just spent hours implementing JDBC, JDBC template, Data JDBC and JPA when JPA is the only one to use because it's way better than the other ones and can even implement custom queries for you just by giving it column names and predicates and such

>>108257050
"Interfaces are parameters. You set them as a function's parameter and now that function can take any object that implements that interface as an argument for that parameter.". I'm going to get a computer job and move out and have sex right?

>>108257309
Interfaces aren't parameters. They're specifically a class type, which are used to denote a parameters type but aren't limited to parameters. You can use an interface type anywhere you can use a normal class type. For example

InterfaceType a = ClassThatUsesInterface b;

All the the interface type does is guarantee that the object its referencing has all of the functions on the interface implemented.

>>108257420
"Interfaces are class based enums that take other classes as members by said classes implementing them when declared"

>>108257506
Enums are numbers (its literally in the name), has nothing to do with this. Your phrasing also implies that the interface is using or has knowledge of the other classes when its the other way around. Interface type guarantees the object has all of the method names listed on the interface implemented and available to call. That's it.

I call it aesthetic balance, reached in between learning and creating, seeing and imagining, eating and exercising; imagine an in and out flow from your body, making your soul beat with vitality.

In life you can reach these kinds of 'flow-mode' whether you're working really hard or dancing to music or seeing a piece of art that takes all your attention, but too much flow-mode makes you forget yourself, because it's often an inflow (with consumption) or outflow (with deep work) in excess, but they tend to make you forget yourself, they do not feel light, because of their imbalance, only a good active balance of inflow-outflow makes you feel light, free, self-conscious, alive, vigorous.

shift is half over!!!!!!

>already have a mountain of savings from rarely spending it and from always having a job ever since i was a teen
>currently work two part time jobs, low wages but both are piss easy, one im literally sitting in the breakroom for hours waiting for trucks to arrive, the other i toilet stall often and get away with it since managers really like me
>have a whole basement apartment with all my needs met, rent takes 1/3rd of my monthly income
>graduated almost 2 years ago with nothing of value gained from it since
>still have parents occasionally hound me about starting le career in tech and you dont wanna work these jobs you got for life
>deep down i am perfectly contempt with my current life circumstances, tech has been one giant himuliation scam ritual in my eyes for the past several years anyways
Still somewhat trying to get into the field, but fuck me am I not expecting anything to emerge at all. Cant wait to rip the bandaid in a few months and tell my parents me and this field do not click whatsoever, and im happy with being a low wager.

Because the commutes change every fucking week depending on where the job site it, that can be anywhere from a 15 minute drive to over an hour both ways. Also I come home physically tired everyday and the heat makes all of that worse. I’d prefer to be an IT monkey at a data center or something like that.

This is not my problem, this is OUR problem. I am able and willing, that is all that should be required, either you give me a job and pay me a salary for the work that I do or you WILL pay me a salary through your taxes, except now I will not contribute at all. I am simply offering you a good deal, take it or leave it.

Increasing your income involves 80% soft skills and 20% technicals skills. A guy with that set of skills and linkedin profile could very well made at most $1500 in my country, not $150k

I'll monetize around 2028. Probably start making POD merch. But honestly i just want to make animation memes for youtube / insta. I want to get deeper into game art though.

Thanks. For me i just realized sitting down doing the same topic for more than 4 hours just ruins all retention for me. Make me bitter and jaded. Often times what I've been doing doesn't give me any results. If i spread my eggs on more basket like learning japanese, drawing outside of QA automation, if my QA efforts doesn't give me as much interviews as i want, at least i can still be good at drawing/writing and speaking japanese.

>>108262579
Dunno bro. I have 12 months experience as a mobile tester back in 2023-2024 but still cant get a manual tester job. Try sticking with selenium + postman + java + sql for the next 6 months. Make at least 1 project and reiterate from that.
>sick of webdev
Same. Same. Honestly i only learn webdev just in case a relative wants me to make a dumb blog site for them. Trying to be good at laravel was a hurdle for the last 4 years.

whilst I have a job atm I recognise that I'm an incompetent and lazy failed SWE and I will probably be made redundant in a year or two max, at which point I will never find a job again thanks to AI
I will try to fight my fate by working on being less lazy and incompetent in the meantime, but the most important lesson I've internalised is not to plan too far ahead and not to be too sad when things invariably go to shit, instead I hope to find happiness in living in the moment and taking each day as they come instead

What the fuck? I don't know a single person who commutes more than 1 hour to work. Is this a third world thing?

Now, I'm tired of this fat FUCK popping up in all of my fucking Applicant Tracking Systems when I'm looking for a FUCKING server janny! I don't give a FUCK about the aftermath of ANY of you Powershell fans that feel sorry for this greasy fuck!

You stupid fucking disgusting panty-line sniffing BLAWB, beer-drinking, CISCO-bathing. ball-gargling, pen-thieving, Steve Ballmer face having, Dr. Robotnik looking, Ramen eating, Welfare gorging, T-Rex arm having, Non-Dubai Chocolate eating, cook with a Coleman grill because the power been cut off, linux loader, nogame indie ""dev"", poorfag, pretending to have a fucking thyroid problem, Welfare Whale slash Free Willy, PArt bus, Yokohama Crackhead, busrider, Kirby, salad dodger, chair crusher, round meal, go to Safeway and use every fucking coupon, no driver's license, HAPPY because Enron is back in business motherfucker!

I know there's gonna be a lot of people out there calling me a bully, well guess what? I'm not! I just don't feel sorry for lazy fucking people, especially fat fucks who sit there all day, gorge and eat, and make no money because they've studied absolutely nothing! While a bunch of sorry fucks like yourself play into it!

You don't like what the fuck I'm saying?

Then FUCK YOU!

I can't keep doing manual labor anymore
I'm done
I'm going to set up a bot or some shit and start spamming applications for everything and anything software related
I figure if I at least send out 5000 applications a week a few will lead to callbacks

>>108265615
do u kno how 2 set up bot ?

>>108265667
I'll figure it out in an hour. If a jeet can do it, I can do it 10x better.

I’m doing shit to find a job that in hindsight I should’ve been doing during my sophomore year of college. Shame on me for thinking for thinking a degree and school projects would be enough

tech jobs where i have access to fat animal pussy and/or cock ?

>>108265615
I’m in a similar boat. I’m working as a part time tard wrangler and I’ve had ENOUGH. Maybe try focusing in on the irl side of things? I’ve been hitting up career fairs and networking events to put a face to the name

Well yeah because i just started this week? Next week is H, M, Y, R, W

My professional career has just begun so I don't feel comfortable giving drawing advices since I'm still learning a lot myself BUT if I share one thing, please don't stress about all of the future struggles at once. They seem overwhelming in your head yet in reality they come one by one and somehow you get through them. That's why I think "keep going" is cliché but still the best advice. One day you'll look behind and will say "wow, I don't struggle working on those things anymore and the biggest problem in my life is paying taxes"

Do not start with reading manga/LNs/etc, it's going to be way too hard at this level. Start with graded readers: tadoku. They are split by level and designed for foreigners, not natives like manga/LNs. I think someone said once that it's free, but personally I just downloaded after searching for a link on yandex.

>>108264676
my prefered stack is python + selenium but i've worked with js + webdriverio, ruby + appium, java + selenium. i don't have much real world experience with automation but i do like fucking around with scripting. one of the reasons i left the previous company cuz i was stuck in banking project with no prospects of future.
