are there any other code monkes next to (You) in your family?my dad is a code monke and now i'm also one
>>108791663my uncle is an engineer at intel
no, wea re fine with gays, even blacks, but engineers? We are not THAT tolerant
>>108791663These days I consider myself a small data advocate and digital vegan. Life was always about those grounded little data moments, it can't always be about some big data in a cloud or monkeying about on a keyboard.If you ever get tired of being a code bonobo, you give digital veganism a try.
>>108792536>code monkey>engineerit's good bait because it made me reply but.. man some people unironically believe this.
>>108792831are you appropriating my culture? what the fuck?
>>108791663>coding runs in immediate familyare you indian by any chance?
>>108791663becoming a codenigger on your own is pretty bad but if I had a father who let me ruin my life that way I’d shoot him
>>108792875Worse, a slav
>>108793543one in the same these days, you poor saps don't stand a chance against their incursion with those miniscule population numbers.
>>108793543Same here. But I'm the brainlet of the family. My dad is good with fixing hardware and the rest of his side of the family are all various kinds of coders and designers. I was always too distracted to keep up with them. Maybe someday...
>>108794383>dad is a hardware nigga>somehow failed to pick it uphardware is dead simple, wtf? the only issue is having access, which you hadI could teach a 90iq brazilian with a smidge of logic most of what I do and I get paid ~80k yuros a year which is solid salary
a distant relative became a succesful code monkey and unfortunately he had a kid which was born with down syndrome. This made my mom believe that a career with computers was directly correlated with retarded offspring and she would plead with me to not become a code monkey (she's a doctor btw)
>>108794533I guess I could ask him to teach me, but he's retired so it's not a daily occurrence for him anymore. Plus, he grew up learning electronics, soldering and stuff like that as a hobby. PCs weren't nearly as interesting or accessible back then so he had plenty of time to learn that stuff. I grew up playing video games.
>>108794563well anon, how did you turn out?
>>108794563your mom did you a solid, even if she’s retarded>still ended up on 4chinsuch is life for frogniggers
My dad is a sales chad and basically the antithesis of meNow that I think about it most of my family is in salesI also have some relatives who are copsNo doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers, etc. Me being a code wagie is the closest we have
>>108792872sorry, posted the wrong picture, this is how we look
>>108794578>electronics, soldering and stuff like that as a hobbyUnderstanding how electronics work is like a week of workyou sure as fuck aren’t designing your own pcbs but even retards can do things like solderinggranted, it isn’t very useful in daily life, but men (male) instinctively seek to understand how shit works and gather random tools they use twice per decade. electronics fit well in that, and can actually save tou a bunch of money in an era where a $2k tv dies a month after the warranty expires and it’s an hour and like $20 in parts to fix it
>>108794731Thanks for the encouragement. I'll look into it.
>>108794602I don't know if she was right because I don't have any kids yet but from my understanding of natural selection genetic mutations occur at birth and not through environmental pressure, so ascertaining that computer usage causes retarded offspring seems incorrect to me, at least on a one generation timeline. Maybe the theory holds better if several generations self selected for retarded offspring but even then it would be like autismo retarded not down syndrome retarded, aka behavioral vs genetic. Because computers don't actually cause any gene mutations that I know of.But anyways she had the right idea in that computer usage will make you retarded
>>108794966>natural selection genetic mutations occur at birthexplain programmer socks
>>108791663Don't call your dad a monke
My grandfather, he bought me a Pi when I was 12. He did contract work for early 2000s Microsoft, embedded TV firmware and software for cars. Probably a dozen other things.I refuse to go into tech though because I don't want to be forced to vibecode and compete with jeets.
my old man is a dev for the shitty insurance company whose CEO got smoked in new york. he can't even get me a nepo job
