Can I just put my school projects on my portfolio and apply? Do I really need to partake in the humiliation ritual of personal projects?
>>108263432>humiliation ritualif you dont feel like programming your own shit why even bother with programming someone else's shitplus i don't know how much personal projects matter now that anyone with two brain cells to rub together can tard wrangle some LLM to do the heavy lifting for you>inb4 said programs are shitso are most personal projects made by young blood fresh out of college

>>108263746>>108263443I want money
>>108263757get into drug dealing then or find some tech related job that isn't programming if you want your degree to be useful for anythingprogramming is in something of bad spot right now and the most surefire way to justify doing it is feeling rewarded for it
>>108264161>drug dealingThis is a pyramid scheme
>>108264161>tech related job that isn't programmingLike what?
>>108264188Tech support
>coding? I hate coding. I just want to get paid $200,000/year to own a macbook and eat gourmet food in a gay office
>>108264222kek all of those ads where a paid influencer does fuckall at google or microsoft for a day really did a number on zoomers thinking that was the actual experience
>>108263432>humiliation ritual of personal projects?Are you retarded?The point of the degree is to learn how to do your personal projects. Even the point of the eventual job is to support yourself while you do personal projects.
>>108263432you're in competition with 1000 other people for that job. your school projects arent going to cut it. wake the fuck up
>>108263432>school projectsbahahainstantly into the bin courtesy of ats screening>personal projectsoh no no no no ahahahahaOP go to trade school youre ngmi
>>108264222God, these upcoming years are going to be glorious.You faggot ass coders have been living like kings for too long. Time to wake up to reality and live like serfs like the rest of the working class lol
>>108265365>competition for a chance to waste 8 hours every day earning money for someone else doing something you don't particularly like at best and getting paid relative pennies in returnActual circus.
>>108263432Fire up a coding agent.Let it create a some projects for you.Use that. How the fuck is that hard in 2026? Are you a retard?
>>108263432breh you aint getting a job, why do you even care
>>108267886how do i do that though??
>>108267913Nigger just download opencode and type "make giga billions idea app"
>>108267926link?
>>108267974Grok.com and search "how do I not be a faggot"
>>108263432if you dont like doing this, then why are you doing it? this isnt 20 years ago where dev is an ez pass to a good job, dumbass.
>>108267980didn't give me the link
>>108264222>>108264509Ironically, this is better for the field in the long run. Bad programmers weed themselves out by the entitlement and laziness carved into their brain from exposure to anti-work culture.
>>108263757unironically become a janitor. it won't pay 6 figures but it will pay substantially more than retail or burgercuck. you can find work in any town or city, you'll never be replaced by automation or overseas labor (unless they physically come here). job is very little stress if you don't mind getting dirty or smelling bad smells, and the most physical labor you'll be doing is bending down to scrub toilets. you're biggest physical risk is getting norovirus.
