>>108927933I mean it makes sense, if you have a girl it means you are at least good enough to have a girl, it is the equivalent of having a cert/experience in the field.
>>108927939>(i'm australianbarachod

i am developing AI psychosis from my work it's literally driving me insane
>>108928113I assume they're not really hiring but want to put in minimal effort in case Alan Turing applies or something.
>>108928106how is that different than normal
I was contacted by a recruiter, and they are offering me a 60% higher wage for a similar position (+ other stuff).on the other hand, my current job has drained me so fucking hard that I really am not even sure if I should apply. I wish i could just take 6 months off or whateverwhat should I do?
>>108928187take the 60% higher pay you fucking retard
>>108928187have you done a single interview with them? no? then they aren't offering you shit
>>108928192yeah, you are right, not a single interview just yet.I asked what the pay range is before even scheduling a meeting. but doing this while being undecisive feels like a waste of time for both of us>>108928191sure, and then they fire me a month later for being useless... just because I'm burn out or some shit.
>>108928224>then they fire me a month later for being useless... just because I'm burn out or some shit.Go be furnigger somewhere else. I am tired of seeing you post retarded self defeating statements like this daily you jobless larping faggot.

do you feel bad when a colleague leaves
>>108928640Not if I'm the reason

>>108928771what a gutter retard lmaohe's going to have a rude awakening

>>108928440that seems right but i need an iron man cope why i shouldnt be concerned by that
I have like 14 years of experience and I'm at FAANG. But I enjoy writing code and I don't like writing documents/chasing prestige, so I'm still at L4. My coworkers are in their early 30s and all promoted to L5.It's so maddening. I just need to jump to somewhere where they actually respect my experience. But in a more sane world they would have hired younger people who could take on more of the rote work.
>>108929156Can't you go SMA/SME route?
>>108928998wtf that's fuckedthis sucks, feel like i'm being punished for being a high achiever
>>108929156I know it differs from company to company, but looking at where I work on levels.fyi being at L4 for 14 years seems ridiculous, no offense. Staying at L5 for more than 5-6 years seems fireable. I don't get it, how are you still employed
>>108928974>we're engineers hereLOL
god damn my head hurts
>>108928915Meeting in a few minutes. By the way, chatgpt is a good psychological counselor. It calmed me down and made me cry a bit. I really seem to have some bottled up stuff within lol at least I probably won't kill myself after this

>>108929306>>108929309Can you be less gay? Wussies like you are letting the world go to shit. It's your fault
>>108929372friday is chill do nothing day, it has nothing to do with that
>>108929372I think you're right in a way. Not the "It's your fault" because it is not. However it strikes different when people depend on you financially. And yeah I got laid off. So I'm free, I have to go work in a mcDonalds or something for the time being.
it's 1 am and instead of sleeping i'm looking at random malware i found in the wild out of curiosityinterestingly there's multiple indirections until you get to an unobfuscated shell script with clear comments indicating that the malware should not proceed if it's detected that the device uses russian language or region. this is just the loading script, it collects some data and sends it to the server and then downloads the actual payload. haven't looked at that yet, don't want to pozz my laptop
the script uses LLM dashes (long -) in its commentsthe ruskies who generated it probably can't even read it

What can my employer observe from my use of codex? I work remotely and I wanna hijack it for use in some home projects, so I'm kinda wondering if I can say "Your task is described in TODO.txt, follow those instructions exactly" and get away with it. I don't wanna pay 100+ bucks a month for this thing when I'm only getting a 3% raise.

As much as I enjoy booze myself, alcohol and tech doesn't seem to mix.
>>108929958Mad innit
>>108929958what's the depressing one?
>>108929979The failure of tech to support emerging women founders
>>108929979Local one in town. Seemed to be more general business than tech. Only one person I met there seemed to be firmly in tech, and they were unemployed (not judging, been there) and sounded like they were struggling. Couple other people also unemployed and job seeking, but not necessarily tech. Everyone else was some kind of freelance consultant or small consultant business. Everyone was nice, just not a lot of techies.

My company (nearly 50k people) blasted a "cybersecurity incident" email at me with all sorts of ticket references for me having openVPN on my corporate laptop, which my entire team of 25ish people needs to do our work, and they want *me specifically* to file a software exception request which "can be denied". I told them why I have it and they said "cool file an exception" while smugging about. Ugh sorry I'm just not going to respond nor file an exception, I know I know, save grandma save IT save software or whatever, I'm just not gonna. And now after getting left on read they've been repeatedly emailing me about it and they just CC'd my boss and some "cybersecurity analyst". Jeez this sounds really serious guys.
>interview with recruiter>basically have every bit of experience they need, I'm technically over qualified>calls me next day and says that they think I'm not qualified for this specific role but theres another, much more specific senior engineering role they want to put me into>"no thanks, good luck on your candidate hunt">"it'll be the same benefits and pay, you'll report to straight to the director, and hes open to negotiating either full time wfh or 1 day a week onsite. with the other role you'd have to be onsite full time"Now you're speaking my language HR benchod
>having software engineering experience makes you "overqualified" for IT roles

Why didn't you make a new <insert product that has 30 competing versions> build ground-up for with AI in mind? You could be a billionaire by now, VC money was free
What does it mean when HR roasties always downplay my achievements in interviews. Am I too ugly to be a software engineer?
>>108932135Cops answer: they’re trying to challenge you so you can rise above and impress them with your answersRea answer: yes
>>108932363Cope answer* damn it
>>108930597The biggest lesson from five years in corporate life is that other departments rarely have actual authority to boss you around - even IT. If your workstream doesn’t report to them, they can’t force compliance. Same goes for non-IT teams; they constantly try this bullshit with me (usually asking me for reports, status updates, stakeholder alignment). I just ignore the emails and let them CC my boss. He’s spineless and clueless, always replying “uuuuh… I dunno” when asked what to do next. So I started ignoring these requests entirely. They never amount to anything -they fume for a couple of months before giving up. Then, when another person gets assigned the ticket, the whole ritual starts over again for a few weeks. This has happened multiple times at my company. It’s just between-department power politics. Low-tier ICs and middle management like us don’t even need to bother as most of it fizzles out on its own.
1 month left until i start my internship :3
Any IT business analyst here
>>108932600project manager here, i can pretend to be a BA, what do you need?
>>108932620Im about to work a cooperative store manager job in a 2 year contract. What can i do to capitalize this experience going forwards? I have compsci degree and cant be assed to code ever since the 1st semester. Last time i had a tech job was manual QA internship back in 2023 to 2024, then i went to do a general affairs job during december 2024 to april 2025. Been jobless for a year and did nothing but sleep my days away.
>>108932135Actual answer you should stand up for yourself in the interviews and they have to deal with at least 20 of them a day if this is their primary job at a larger company. Actual technical interviews with a manager you might work with needs that filter to save them going through equal amounts of applications since there is so much bot posting.
>>108929958> alcohol and tech doesn't seem to mixCan't imagine being sober at any of these events. I wouldn't be able to handle all the cringe.

how do you all keep your myopia/astigmatism under control? i feel jealous on how some folks who put in harder effort and has experience than me but they never feel like they have to wear glasses, meanwhile i change mine every 1-2 years and the numbers gets worse every time.
>>108933148I have myopia (although very low) and astigmatism. Not sure how you can "keep it under control", but I'm struggling to wear my fucking glasses when using my PC. Everything looks blurry and fucked up. Using them for distance works perfect although.
>>108933148I eat healthy, get a lot of sunlight, exercise a lot, sleep plenty, and dont do drugs or alcohol. As a result my eyes stopped worsening.
>>108933083I heard a normie IRL talk about how their friends taught them about words like "nothingburger"
My boss just emailed me a screenshot of a private text I sent to my coworker complaining about him.I am literally shaking right now. The IT guy and I have been friends for years, so I never expected him to snake me like this.He wants to meet in his office first thing tomorrow morning. Do I try to lie my way out of it, or just pack my desk now? What do I do?
>>108933271Just sue for spying?
>>108933271I say stick with what you said. Tell your boss that you wanted to tell him this anyway, although in a more professional manner.Also, your coworker agreed that your boss is doing nothing. How did he think this would present him in good light?
>>108933229>>108933198do you scroll / game on your phone a lot?
>>108933381Yeah i play a shitton of monster hunter now

>>108933465>>108933458over the last decade i dont feel any decline from being on the laptop a lot. i feel the most damage from being at my phone all day / all night. i dont consistently exercise too so maybe it's that.

>>108933148never had eye issues still i started working full timeif you work you die

>>108933148you need to get a weaker pair of glasses for using the computer and other close up work. if you get a pair that's ~1.5 diopters weaker than normal, it doesn't make looking at screens blurry, it only reduces the size of the 'sphere of clear vision' that's centered on your eyes. there's no need to use glasses suitable for looking into the distant mountains when doing close work, and this is what's giving your body the stimulus to make an adaptation that makes your prescription worse. your optometrist will have no idea what this means so just use something like zenni to order weaker glasses and develop the habit of using the right glasses for the right situation. you might find your eyesight even improving
>>108933626homo
>>108933489i keep the lights on when scrolling. i dont scroll in complete darkness
>>108933464LOL IS THAT THE YURI GAME
>>108933148same here senpai. Just how it is. Did you see if you can look into lasik? Apparently my eyes can't because my astigmatism is too bad. They said I can do PRK but that's like a month of recovery compared to a week in the dark room with Lasik. Genuinely wondering how people can even recover with either. Being stuck in a dark room not knowing the time, just constant oh god the light for a week -> month straight would leave anyone coocoo.
wrote my CV with AImade my portfolio document with Aiwrote my "about me" with AIwrote my project readmes with AIpractice what to say/answer during interviews with AIim only 25 and i feel like i cant function on my own anymore. i genuinely cant think for myself. the only situation where i can probably use my own brain to do something is when it involves video games, fiction, movies, or TV shows.i'm experiencing significant memory loss too since late 2024 and no matter what i try to study / practice i just dont want to remember it.
>>108933695Some really don't recover or get worse eyesight after the fact. The military gave that shit out for free to anyone who wanted it (with proven bad vision) and while majority of the people benefited from it a decent chunk of them still wore glasses after the fact(less worse than before but idk).
>>108933695i make $300 a month and can only save around $20 a month. lasik costs like $2300 here.
>>108933719Yeah.... most companies benefits for eyeshit is annoying too. I only get 200 every 2 years. That only really pays for the frame (if at all) and then the lens is still going to be like 500-600. Then if I want contacts for contact sports, it's fucking another $500-600. Lasik isn't too bad of an investment. Do get a bit frightened about the horror stories but whatever being daredevil wouldn't be that bad. >>108933711I wouldn't say it's risky, probably 5%? Worse case, it's a sidegrade or slightly worse but it's not like you're completely blind unless you really pissed off the surgeon or they were drinking the night before.
>be contractor>work with another contractor>i try to coordinate env upgrade>he agrees to push the button>never pushes the button>i am notified at the end of day customer says nothing works>he never pushed the buttonFrom now on I will push teh fucken buttons. This guy acts all friendly but I guess he is not my friend or he has the memory of a gold fish. I don't know anymore, I will just push the buttons from now on whatever. This feels like he deliberately tried to make me look bad as in my fixes weren't working well they weren't working because they weren't deployed for fucks sake...
>mfw should be working on a major project right now>wanted to finish a VN im reading since I only have like an hour left>it's only 10 and I feel like thisdamn bros...

>>108933742I have dealt with goldfish people. You eventually learn to never trust what anyone says and does. Then you triple verify everything including your own work to see if its done/done properly/done as is described. I had to tell my boss i am never working with that coworker ever again after a few months of doing so. The rest of my office thought i was just being aggro like usual over dumb shit but they learned real quick how much of a crazy eyed mentally unstable goldfish he was before getting fired for yelling at a customer over dumb shit at the end of the year. BTW i dealt with shitty customers for my coworkers so if they didn't believe me about my view over him they defiantly did after a while since i dealt with the shittiest customers for everyone else.
>>108933704are you me
>>108933777no
>>108933758I just get the feeling that he sees me as a threat because we both work for the same customer as private contractors.>>108933767Sounds fucking insufferable.
>>108933767Im a goldfish person and i put EVERYTHING in my outlook/teams calendar, i set alarms, keep extensive documents of everything, use tickets for everything that matters, and i use powershell a lot so there’s an xbox huge history file to search throughSeems like a skill issue on his part
>>108933856Yeah if he did all that like one of the low IQ people i worked for or likely a gold fish himself then the boss would have something to go to bat for him during that argument he had with a customer. But since he could barely maintain himself or keep up with work as is then there was no saving him.
>>108933856I feel like a lot more women are if they have to use shit like Notion to schedule around college degree lectures/test dates ect. But then again at least they use shit that helps them out. Other reason people get caught up in shit like Obsidian instead of something easy like Notepad++ is procrastination, i get it, i personally procrastinate through cleaning, my apartment was spotless during my MS thesis.
>wake up>ANON ANON THIS THING ISNT WORKING >check function>apparently my account made an update to it last friday morning >called sick that day because I only had 2 hours of sleep and went fuck it I can't function like this >swear I didn't even turn on my computerthe fuck? Either an API key is going retarded, I'm ghost sabotaging myself, or someone's trying to frame me.I mean I don't think it was me because there would've been MUCH sneakier and better ways to fuck shit up.
Holy shit I'm so sick of dumb useless niggers.
>>108933148I can see 3" in front of my eyeballs, no further, no closer, and have a little astigmatism too. I wear contacts, 20/20 vision with them in no problem. My prescription hasn't changed for 20 years.
>>108934027so you're sick of yourself?
>>108934027u wont do shit timmy
most important interview of my life today
>>108933996I have a feeling it's my manager but why would he act as my account to do the change? If it's to frame me, it's too obvious to do it when I literally have a workday showing I was away and probably get the computer logs to prove my computer was off/away during that time frame.
>>108934096Weird the report doesn't say anybody used my account.... I feel like the more I look into this the crazier I feel I'm getting lol. I'd log a ticket but maybe I don't want the answer. Scratching my fucking head though, it's not even that major but it's sorta like a "who tf did this?"
>>108934073nobody in your direct social circle cares about your shitty loser life to a point you have to blog about it here every day, so what makes you think we care?
>>108934170I do enjoy reading about this humble anon's unemployment adventures
>>108934170(unfortunately) they do care but every time I tell them anything I create more problems for myself so I've realized my only option is to vent online anonymously
you’re not anonymous though cuddles
>>108934131Turns out it was the system or an API key, now I'm just trying to figure out why it used my account to do so.
Almost every month the due dates for my invoices end up on the weekend or whatever bullshit day so I have to wait for the next month's 1st or 2nd day to get the payments from customer. Fucking hell 30 day credit sucks ass.
>Another team going above our head and seething about a enterprise wide project >bitch starts acting like it's my fault and instead of bringing this up earlier, they come up with an alternate solution that makes things worse instead of looking at the big green button that says "click here instead".

>>108933271you should assume that anything you write in a company chat app can be made public in the futurethat's just common sense anon
>>108933711I know some people that have gotten it and say it was life changing, and I've also heard a few horror stories secondhand about surgeries that went wrong and left the patient with permanent dry eye or fucked up night vision. Even if the odds are vastly in my favor it's hard to put a price on even the slightest chance of ruining your eye for life
>>108934417Same goes with joint and back surgery. You have to be absolutely certain that the pain you deal with now or loss of mobility is worth the risk involved.
>>108934170i don't have a social circle i blogpost here because you are my friend group.
they rescheduled my interview after I took the day off work
>>108934469C-can i be your friend anon sama?
>>108934170you can't speak for everybody here you sack of shit. now kill yourself.
>>108929306You should
>>108934170I'm other anon and I literally post because nobody cares. Psychopath family trained me for corpo life, but I wish I could call them and try small talk or anything. At my age, there's nobody from my uni years left.>>108934185At least you're delusional enough, DiscountDalit. My psychopath family is literally nothing compared to Indian family. At least I was able to learn the patterns, you will be literally unalived if you shame your family.
How easy is it to get a SWE job in Chicago? It honestly seems like the best major city in America to live in, and I've been wanting to move there for a while. Also can you buy a decent 3-4 bedroom house in an all-white suburb for less than $600k?
>>108933711>>108934417>>108934430Why dont we have cybernetics yet? Nerves are just electricity, surely that shit isn’t that hard to make? We can scope out an entire room’s 3D layout using a network adapter in any computer. We can detect whether there’s a person in the room and if he’s breathing or not. But putting a fucking synthetic piece into one’s body that uses electricity is a no no because uhhhh guess you can’t be a psychotic lizard jew with that kinda tech (without being too obvious about it at least)
>"make" 4k>deduct 500 in federal tax>deduct 500 in provincial tax>deduct 250 for cpp>deduct 80 for ei>deduct 150 for "other">net pay is around 2.5k
>>108934890How are you making 4k broski, I'm literally on my first job and I make 5k
>>108934890>>deduct 250 for cppdo c++ babies really?>>deduct 80 for ei??????????
>>108934897gora motherfucker
>>108934890stop being taxphobic.
>>108934894this is bi-monthly, so 5k per month after deductions for the Canadians on welfare and needing treatments for their preventable lung cancers (smokers) and cardiac disgrace (bariatrics). Maybe some hand outs to the judicial system too, who enjoy the work of arresting and releasing criminals for repeat offenses.
>>108934956>make 4k>actually its 8kputo
>>108934890but you dont have to pay for health insurance or retirement in canada so that's still way more than i make
>>108934890>80k a year>4k each monthyeah brother we get taxed way too much.... :/
>>108934985I dunno, taxes do go to Indian refugees and also ME refugees, we should be thankful the government uses our taxes for good things.
>>108934985Don't worry they will pass a wealth tax on unrealized gains for your house, your savings account per year and assets currently paid off that hold value such as your car.
>>108935022>for your houseIf you own a house fuck you, I hope they do tax you extra fucking boomer
>>108935068Even better anon. I am single income and 30
>>108935081>single income>30>owns a houselying or nepo make your pick
>>108935090Poor fag seething lol. I even make 5k extra principal payments a month on it. Currently 1/4th of the way to being mortgage free within 6 years or less if i get a promotion/pay bump.
>>108935103>5k extra principal payments a month on itYeah nepo alert, eve if you somehow do earn 200k you still used mommy and daddy to get that job, we know
>>108935115
>>108934860Chicago has significant crime problems and isn't a good place to raise a family.https://www.crimecontext.com/ranking/safest-cities
>>108935123benchod
>>108935103Why dump your extra money against your home's principal (where it does nothing) when you could grow it into more money in the market?
>>108935124that says Chicago is safe, it's the top 44th...I'd also choose a city that bans AND enforces the ban on pitbulls
>>108935162The letter rating and numerical ranking is biased. Look at the raw violence per capita statistic for Chicago vs others. This is the metric of whether you and your family will be safe. Not "inclusion scores" and other shit.
>>108935160I do both max 401k. and pay off the house. main reason is i want to rent it out so having that money on hand with a paid off house covers alot of the risk of renting. If i plan on saving it it means i remove a large expense+ the money i am not spending on the principle to then reinvest elsewhere. I save 387k in interest paying it off so yeah i could make that within 30 years of investing or even more but at the same time i have to -387k from that investment opportunity cost. After 6 years i will have 7400$ per month i can dump into investments on top of the max 401k i currently have. I am more risk adverse than most. IDK its likely retarded.
>>108935206>400k houseHow is labrador?
>>108933148I take a bunch of carotonoids as part of my daily stack and it seems to have stopped further decline. Blue and UV light is so gay.
we're building incredible things with claude
>>108934469F-friends with benefits?
>>108935226Yeah not there but kinda remote and growing location US btw.
>>108935252>USso you aren't even one of us you panchod
>>108935252Every location in the US is growing thanks to all the jeets MIGA in chief is letting in.
>>108927911got into this career because i loved tech and i enjoy building things, but ai has taken that away from me. i'm totally burned out with work now, and i can't bring myself to even do the bare minimum anymore. i hate myself, i'm 30 and have literally nothing except my job to show for it because i spent my whole life grinding to get to where i am now. if i knew it was going to end up like this i would have relaxed a little and actually lived my life.anyone here have any experience with trade work? i'd love to get into some kind of unionized electrical work when this gravy train runs out for good.
Everyone at work is afraid of being laid off and feels discouraged about being an AI manager, yet somehow the semester survey results showed higher happiness than ever. I think they manipulated the results to gaslight everyone to not be upset about the increasing workloads for minimal pay raises because apparently all your coworkers love it. Fagman btw
>>108933148I'm 34 and stare at computer screens 14 hours a day and have natty 20/20. Just git gud
>>108935206First off, you're already doing a good job by staying on top of debt and having a long term plan. I think it could be even better, but you're already doing a good job.If you're looking for peace of mind: there's peace of mind in having a paid-off home, but you could hire a financial advisor for pennies out of that monthly net gain to give you that peace of mind on not just your home, but also your investment strategy, savings, budgeting, and more.If you're looking for the best financial approach considering renting out a home: it's a comparison of mortgage interest rate vs investment return rate. - If you have a higher mortgage interest rate than investment return rate, then financially it's better to pay off the mortgage quickly. - If you have a higher investment return rate than mortgage interest rate, then financially it's better to pay the minimums to the mortgage and invest the rest.- Considering the past couple decades of mortgage interest rates, I think you're highly likely to find investments with a return rate significantly exceeding mortgage interest rate.If you want my honest advice: Life is short and you should do what makes you happy. Just keep in mind that there's optimal strategies out there for finance which could help you retire earlier and with a stronger position (able to take more trips, buy nicer things, etc).
It's Friday, I have no meetings, so I've just been playing Civ III all day
I just spent 11 hours trying to tard wrangle the vscode chat into generating me a gitlab ci/cd, apache, docker, gunicorn, django, npm, webpack solution for putting the css and js webpack artifacts in the correct folder, volume them to host and then actually applying them to a shoddy fucking django login page template.It works just barely but i'm pretty sure it literally only applies to the login page and is not reusable at all for any other template i'll have to work on come monday.I have 6 years of dev experienceHow have I not learned ANYTHING?Why did this nothingburger task take me the entire workday + overtime?Why did I even do overtime? On a friday? I don't even get paid for it?I'm a fucking retard?Please just fire me and put me out of my miseryWhat the fuck am I even doing? This isn't even real labour. If I told an ancestor from the 1500s what I do for a living they would cave my skull in with a grain flail. What the fuck am i doing? I wasn't born on this planet for this.
>>108935311Those metrics are just a proxy to estimate attrition. Employers know the job market is fucked so they don't mean anything anymore.
>>108935340Thanks and i do know my idea is kinda retarded if we fully break down every investment opprotunity but i figured "What the fuck am i going to do with my money after i had reached 40k in savings/max 401k?"I will keep this saved in an image and put it next to my other important documents for future notes. I could be doing better obviously so getting a financial advisor to break things down for me would be the smartest move going forward.
>>108935007>government has such bad infrastructure that they literally have to stop developers from making new builds because the existing water infrastructure can no longer support new housingit's only going to get worse from here
>>108933148Turn down screen brightness.
>>108935022>for your housekek what house? you can afford a house????>>108935007so right senpai. also don't forget the missing and murdered indiginous women!
>>108935380uhhhhh
>>108935301Trade work sucks. You'll be working with boneheads, the jobs can be dangerous, and even less fulfilling than your current job. It's mindless repetitive work most of the time.
>>108934469good lad, love you brogood luck with your interview
>>108935124>Cities Needing Most ImprovementSay the fucking words you academia sissy! Say the cities are dangerous. Says they're the worst by X metrics. Don't being a little pussy
>>108934170I agree with you bro, that anon is attention seeking whore evidenced by the repeated use of their tranny pfp, probably why no one irl wants to hear their shit
>>108927911Hehe time to build some Go microservices and have a clean break from this [literal] Jeet Java code>>108928113Sounds like a fake job posting
>rage baiting indian switched to anime>got replies>legit anons get ignored, unless they post ai rage bait.I read all your posts anons, don't give up, whenever you worry about overtime or eyesight or work dramas. I'm going sleep. Tomorrow I'm going to watch infographics show. I actually find these videos relaxing as they remind me of having fun years ago. Grinding mmos with these videos at 2 am was peak.
>review PR>every minor line change has a paragraph explaining the changeTired of the AI slop
>>108935572It can't be, all rounds but the screening were in person
>apply to a job>on the 1/250th chance they don't immediately trash your resume, ignore it, and pick you to interview, you get a screening a month after you clicked "apply">after the screening it's another week to schedule an interview>then a week to hear back from them>if you pass then they schedule 2 more interviews, another week out>then have to wait a week again to hear if you passed those>maybe they schedule more rounds or not, or you get an offer>then its 2 weeks for onboarding and a start date>start date is another 2 weeks out>getting a job takes like 3 months if you're lucky
>>108935590>I hate my life being easierlol
>>108935342based
>>108935626I mean who cares? 3 months isn't that long, you are employed right?
>>108935124you are falling for a bait. its probably the same guy that reposts reddit stuff here to bait.
>>108935639>you are employed right?
>>1089356393 months at my current job is like the equivalent of 5 years of my lifeforce
>>108935630I'm talking about comments in the code, ballooning the file to unreadable amounts>this counter increments by one here to ensure that we maintain an accurate count of this telemetry field. It is later consumed in the telemetry file with all the other telemetry. It is sized to prevent overflows.Yeah that comment is really needed 1000 times in the repo
>>108935675Your first mistake was not using AI to review the PRs yourself.
I found a nice hipster song from 2010. It has many of the elements to be labelled so.>under 6 figure views>artist using a fake name more mysterious than their own>2010>advanced vocabulary in lyrics>lyrics are too abstracted to draw concrete or objective meaning>conjures images of rustic cafes, button up shirts, blundstones, trees, and cute womenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XK6gwtCRAk
>>108935301its comical how much debt and work you can put into a career only to have it destroyed on the smallest correction. half the jobs are already held by immigrants, mostly h1b, and they still arent going to dial it back. a ton of work is offshored already. the biggest mockery of it is how many of them are very stupid but we're supposed to sit here and pretend theyre so much more talented than average american grads. as if hiring foreigners over your own citizens is would be ethical because theyre marginally more talented. now that there is AI, they dont even have to hide it.
>>108935735here is another indie bangerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjGy2aoOoaA
>>108935835Americans are cattle.
>>108935415i see, thanks anon. are there any trades that are less bad than the average? i don't think i'd make it in roofing or drywalling for examplei just want to be able to build something (either physical or abstract like software, whatever) and feel proud of myself
>>108935835Anon, they aren't hiring foreigners over their own citizens....
>>108936041esl
>>108936105It's a joke, because the Indians are hiring other Indians, i.e., not foreign. Maybe they really are smarter than you

>>108938032Well son it's your problem
there are problems at work that we've been asked to fix, but we're just techs, not engineers. the sum of skill and experience in our little office is enough to do it, but it's not our project, documentation on first-party stuff is sparse, third-party stuff is out of production, and despite complete actual physical control and blessing from the (non-L)users on the ground, we don't have final right to do this kind of thing. and yet we're the ones made to feel like frauds when things go wrong and have to soak all the complaints from users, only able to soothe them by telling them that we have even more
