How do all of you not get immediately overwhelmed when troubleshooting a problem?

one of the keys of tech is having patience to solve issues, because usually one issue leads to other issues.
this is why the world will implode once management retards replace us with pajeets or LLMs: no one competent will be there to fix shit.
>>
>>108711086
I get a big endorphin boost when I figure out some really tricky problem. Makes me want to keep going. When I get really stuck at work I can also talk to other engineers. When I get really stuck on my personal project I just take a break from it for awhile, if I go back at it a month later I think of new things. I've not felt permanently stuck on anything, I always figure it out eventually.

>>108711086
If your computer is instant rebooting then that's very, very likely a hardware problem. Reboots like that are usually a symptom of instability in core components, in other words CPU, RAM or motherboard. Alternatively it could also be a PSU safety kicking in, for example if you're drawing more power than it can provide since that game stresses your components more than others.

You can attempt to diagnose these sorts of issues by stress-testing various components. If your PSU spec is only borderline for your system and the game that is causing your reboots is very demanding, that's also a very likely problem. Harder to diagnose without a replacement on hand, but you could try monitoring the PSU power rails while running the game to see if they sag significantly. Note that even if they do not it may still be a PSU safety kicking in, but if they DO then that's a smoking gun.

I noticed that a company I applied to work at (in England, where English people like me live) not only insisted that I tell them my university degree that I got in 2008, but also that I choose it from a dropdown menu that includes "African-American Studies". That doesn't even exist in this country. I don't think there's a single UK university that teaches "African-American Studies". They've just copied the entire job application form from America. It's a fucking disgrace. Laziness is endemic in every single part of every business now, and they still have the fucking temerity to tell me I should be rewriting my CV from scratch for every job I apply for. At least my CV was written by me and isn't just a screenshot of Jeff Bezos's Linkedin page with things crossed out.

Everyone seems to be patient
Well it’s been a long time now
Company just signed contract with msp
I haven’t heard anything about hiring another person or promoting me

I’m not really entirely sure how much they are they going to do.. or like what’s going to happen
Should I be preparing myself for the worst?

I have an honest question for all you tech workers: How do you do it? How do you do this work that you know is the reason behind the destruction of society and humanity, the tech industry being the main reason why everyone is angry depressed and miserable now? You spend all your working life making software that does nothing to benefit the world, nothing to benefit people. And everyone who works in the tech industry is an inhuman narcissist and is completely insufferable to be around. And now you have AI that is not only ruining the present but the future as well, and you're all deliberately developing it. You have literally not made a single positive impact on the world despite how obsessed you all are with all these companies and grinding to finish projects that ultimately go nowhere and do nothing.

This is legitimately the worst thing that has ever been inflicted on humanity in the history of the world. I don't care how much money you all make and how rich you all are. You are the lowest scum in the world.

Every industry is like this, it's not just IT that gets the incompetent DEI stuff. Before I was doing anything IT related, I worked at another company and they ended up outsourcing their entire IT team to India to save on costs and it drove management insane since the Indians would come up with excuses about why they didn't do things, like how that day or week just happened to be some Indian holiday and they wouldn't be working. 12 months later and they decided to go back to local IT teams after all the management kept complaining to upper management.

Other companies probably do the same, it's really just a matter of time before there's too much frustration and they hire local teams again. I think at that place we were just incredibly lucky that it only took 12 months to change things back.

I honestly think the math for training new employees on the job is skewed in the managers favor to outsource. The incompetence from Indian companies when compared to stateside MSP's is insane. Atleast with a MSP you can specify the manpower to force them to hire more competent people with a guarantee of manning but with Indians they just fucking lie/cheat everything.

technology is just a tool. we might implement parts of it, but we don't really control who uses it or for what, unless the stated goals are clearly defined or obvious

week passes

>"please send me more screenshots and information saar and will fix"
And he'd go through that kind of loop constantly about all types of shit. They'd always tell him he's wrong, nothing is broken and he's just not doing something right or it just so happened to be the end of the work day because of the timezone differences (or the "it's an Indian holiday today saar").

I fucking hate how terraform is written, man. I've given it a few months to see if I started to like it and I've just begun to hate it even more. It's impossible to write anything elegant in it. If you're doing infra for your toy blog webserver or some shit it's _fine_ I guess but at work with multiple clusters and multiple environments It all turns into a boilerplate soup where it's completely impossible to state your business logic clearly. I have never used a DSL which is so limited yet so unintuitive at the same time. The module system is complete ass. No wonder everyone uses terragrunt, jesus christ.

Checked.
Now, about your question.
Easy, I mostly take job in fields that make sense for me.
Meaning healthcare and sometime defence.
I worked on robot that help with surgeries, you can't use tech better than that I think.
But yeah, everyone will have it's own limits.
From "I don't care as long as I get paid" to "I only work in a very selective few numbers of companies that 100% align with my view of the world".

And how about you?
Why are you in tech?
What are you doing to make tomorrow a better place?
>>
>>108713888
HAH I asked the exact same question. I already see my work already justifying other people's cuts which isn't great for my morale. But yeah I get it, I think people are just turning a blind eye to things or just being intentionally stupid with "FUCK YOU I GOT MINE".
It's also why should you care about the state of the world when you're having difficulties trying to even get money to buy bread.

your boss just told you that you and the whole team will probably get laid off during the next months.
you see this as an opportunity to take a rest for a while, but you know the market is shit.
suddenly, you get a message from your old boss (that you hated) for a position. they probably don't pay well and the job is "demanding" (to say the least).

what do you do?
the very fact of getting a message from this faggot made me feel like shit.

Here's a few advice I have for working:
>If something's burning, don't be the first one to point it out but come up with a quick solution you can pivot so you look like a rockstar.
>Don't point out anything, just say you found it later. Even if it's really retarded, just nod yes to everything then you can be like "yeah no" after.
>Don't trust anyone. Not your manager, not your coworkers.
>Try to stay quiet during group meetings, you can present minor solutions but make sure that they're quick or you'll be held with the puck.
>Seem amicable sure, but do not get pegged as the guy everyone rants to because being that guy sucks.
>Don't point out anyone's mistakes and if you have to, do it privately.
>Ashwagandha doesn't really help, you'll need to get actual anti depressents.
>Gym doesn't help either, you'll need to get actual anti depressents.
>Having a social life doesn't help, you'll need to get actual anti depressents.
>Don't get a GF if you can't afford it. Try to keep your friends at an arm's length if you care about wealth / money.
>Own a pet or something so you can easily "leave" work, "have a sick mom", there's plenty of other excuses for this. You'll need one that you can just "yeah fuck this".
>If you dread working, don't take a day off to recover unless you're really about to snap. It's better to bank it on the two-three weeks vacation free from all the bullshit.
>DO NOT ANSWER ANY OUT OF OFFICE PHONE CALLS. Say you're going out of the country even if you aren't.

Good ones are probably good, but I would never trust anyone I spoke to because I would 100% expect them to be frauds. There's no way to know if you're finding a good one, so only consider it if you're willing to basically gamble your money.

I used to work in a small third-party datacentre in England. We hired several retards in the many years that I was there. Just pick a tiny company that isn't famous, and apply even if you don't have the experience. The most important things you want are thoroughness (for writing and remembering what you did), attention to detail (for noticing when the air conditioning units have switched off), and physical labour (for crawling around installing cables).

when the robber barons agreed upon the 40 hour workweek they assumed you had a partner to cook, clean, take care of the house + kids btw.
now both partners are working and they still can barely afford shit.
>>
>>108720619
You can still do that if you make enough money. Its roughly cheaper than sending kids to child care and gives them a heads up in life compared to other kids since you can educate them through reading to them unlike most parents that just throw on a dumb cartoon.

if your wife makes more than 3-4k a month, childcare is the cheaper option.
>>
>>108720682
Sure but its not the better offer. If she makes 4k a month then it would be better for her to take care of the kids/read to them. Then you come home help cook/clean while she hits the books or goes to college online for the next job. When the kids are finally in kindergarten/preschool then she can get a job again.

I'm basically at my FIRE number, but I've gotten so jaded from working in tech that I barely even enjoy anything anymore. I'm barely even looking forward to quitting other than I won't have to deal with these cocksuckers anymore. I don't even know what I'd do with my life, I look forward to nothing. I'm 32. This is maybe a more depressing future than what I could have ever imagined when I was coming out of school

Anyone else on the same boat?

Trying to get into the workforce (i have a fucking degree & 2 certs) and I am getting ghosted constantly on my applications for local businesses. And whatever interviews I do get I don't get any follow ups.
Already been a year since I graduated.

At this point I'm looking to be a wagie + farm certs, labs, sims & interview prep until I get hired. Either that or go to a 3rd world country and get hired as a slave to work for tech and hopefully the experience can transfer over to a higher paying job in the USA.

Any advice/ stories on how you guys landed your first tech job? would like to hear it.

Have friends in the military. They said navy is the most boring branch since all you do is live on a ship for 5 years.
Airmen have it better since they can get stationed in bases near fun cities. Seoul & the one in hokkaido being the most ideal.

I'm ex-navy, submariner. It was boring because it's never ending training for an event that never happens, and endless paperwork and maintenance.

My company/team is so disorganized and I was thinking of adding some order but honestly I think they'll open a new can of worms. I'm getting tired of tasks being done via a phone call though without any written guidance (and it's always some stupid vague bullshit) or deadline.

Are you frustrated/burnt out/can see yourself working this 5 years because of job security/tenure/etc.

They act like mini boomers with how selective their hearing is. Don't forget the whole "do you see my screen?" "oops I forgot to click the share" "can you hear me now?" "oops I forgot to re-enable my microphone, there we go". "okay I'll start the recording, hmmmm how do I record on here...." "is it recording?" almost every phone call.

I'm bored and I'm not learning shit, but it doesn't really affect my mental wellbeing. If they don't fire me yeah, I could be here in 5 years.
>Are you underpaid?
With my skills, I could probably make a bit more in another company, but considering how much I slack off I can't really complain,
>Do you struggle paying the bills?
Not at all.
And yeah, I value comfort above all. I'm sure I'll be thrilled for the first months in a new job but eventually I'll end up boring too. Also I will have to prove myself, and while I did it once here, I was way more motivated and actually gave a fuck about this field of work.
