Monday Morning EditionPrevious >>108994105
>>109007056>be single for 6+ months>dgaf about work, do the bare minimum>want to get laid off>get gf who I'd mom material>start work on time for a change>apply much more consistent effort>break up>repeatIt's sorta odd building my net worth alone. I will always be sorta sad I never built this with a women. Because I'll be asking myself, "does this new girl deserve to have it all?". I can provide for her easily and she won't need to work. I'm not letting me future wife take care of fat fucks in the hospital ICU, nor am I letting her get exposed to being control by another man or woman in an office. I'm not a control freak, she will have her freedoms. I'm giving her more freedom actually by not expecting her to look after strangers' problems
I ain't feeling it bro. I am going to keep stacking cash juuuuust in case.
>>109007101
>>109007189no one is. work, if it meant something could actually be done, would be worth the hassle. Every single time I spent effort doing hard work has resulted in nothing of value being produced. I am seething at how pointless and boomer it all is.
>>109007101Last part is retarded but for the rest I'm with you.
>>109007234At least explain how my thinking could be improved
>>109007056all I want is a new job bros. Nice being blessed by having a job but I just want a new job making more money. fullstack developer rn making less than half the median in the country and also less than half of the median for my state. dont even care what I do just want 6 figures man
>>109007251stop worrying about things that can't be helped. You will never find your partner in crime. it's just the way 2026 works. those worth choosing are already guaranteed to someone else.
>>109007247If your gf was a nurse, you wouldn't be bothered by her wiping asses, lifting up patients shirts and listening to their hearts with a stethoscope, providing emotional support, etc?I imaging her coming home exhausted and worn.Every nurse over 35 gets overweight for a reason
>>109007273that and they fuck the doctors in the closet anyway.very cucked
>>109007272>>109007234Ah I see, a doomer trying to disillusion other men. Got it.
>>109007273I had a gf who was a nurse and she wiped people's ass all day it was fine.
>>109007281good luck. you're still letting (theoretical) women control you though and idk why.
>>109007056I'm on call for 24x7 for the next two weeks with 8 different services that are all built by jeet coders and AI.Wish me luck and FUCKKKKKKK the jeet gen AIers.
>>109007290Control me how?If letting my gf/future wife live with me without a job is control, that's ok. She'll be a good lady I can trust fullyIf you mean control my thoughts right now, that's ok. I'm thinking about what I want in the future>inb4 cuck simpyou've never met or dated a muse
>>109007287Really? Was she tired a lot after most work days? Was she able to avoid getting overweight, and live healthy?
>ready to quit>unexpected medical problem where I need money out the assfucking FUCK
>>109007312it's over for you, wagie.be prepared to be on a call with 20 retards, while the 1 person you really need doesn't pick up when the OCC calls and you all are left holding your dicks like losers.
>>109007056>Monday Morning EditionIt's almost Tuesday.Also is the dalit gone yet? I want to post funny stripped cats with good employment advice.I love the ac at the office and set it to 15 degrees. Thats the only good thing about summer. For some reason fat ppl avoid my room.
starting to get really annoyed at shit at work>boss has a guest coming next week>randomly puts the buck on me to get him a microphone and internet access>we've been working remote for 3 yearsI'm pretty burnt but I have like no energy to figure this shit out nor do I really care. Does he need a fucking microphone? like lol.
>>109007327I am the person they call while all the jeetcoders are left scratching their ass/balls
>>109007356lmao cant wait for your retarded ass to get laid off in the next round and spend a year trying to get an interview
>>109007364Lol not gonna happen and you'll still be unemployed
>>109007333bro im dying my boss just responded me with a "nope" when I asked if we had a contact for office admin work. they really love just setting me up for failure.
>tired of frontend development and all the bullshit that surrounds it>think about pivoting to backend>now everything is the same shit due to AI>boss and CEO have both embarked on a full blown AI deliriumI'm still studying SQL anyway but fuck if I don't think about changing fields.
>>109007397rofl ill screenshot this post for next year
>unemployed soon>just removed the KVM switch, cables, power cable, camera etc. from my desk at homeFeels good. It's my room again now.
>>109007413what is it about front end that's bullshit? I'm personally getting bored of tardwrangling apis in the backend
>>109007490>updating npm packes every hour>display state fuckery (this on, this off, but only in this sequence)>reading api docs > figma drawings>job is to make a website pretty
>>109007319She was thin, never got overweight or even close to it. She was very tired on long shift days, but she had good shift control so she wouldn't do that all the time. Like sometimes she'd do overnight shifts a few days that week to do less shifts the rest of the week kind of things.
PLEASE FUCKING KILL ME>>109003686>check linkedin for the job listing>posted 4 days ago>76 applicants
>>109007555They don't want you to get the job because then they have to replace you. Companies are retarded anon. Just stop working and burden max.
>>109007545oh lovely, she is a very rare woman who can tolerate that environment/schedule without resorting to dopamine hits from snacksWhy did she stop being your gf? :(
>>109007490Personally I'm tired of dealing with designers and having to implement a never ending list of design changes.
>>109007645We're still on very good term, she just didn't feel it in a romantic way anymore. I'm not at all into these kinds of casual relationships, but it's 2026 I guess, what can I do.
>>109007674How long was the "honeymoon phase"?So you two just broke up? We're there any other dercernible reasons?
>>109007725We were together 2 years but the honeyphase was probably around 9 months max. She became less sexual and romantic after that. No other reason, we got (and still get) along very well. We're both hot as fuck, I'm exactly her type and she's my type. But she was pretty young so what I think is she was just naive about relationships in general. Like for example not understanding that the honeymoon phase doesn't last forever and not understanding fully what she wants in a relationship and stuff like that.
>interview on friday>4 more days of work until i learn if i have a chance of escaping this living hell
>>109007523figma balls lol
Using AI makes me stupidSo i guess i wont use it anymoreTime to aim for government jobs

>>109008233>poos are going to flood in againbrb getting my passport ready
good morning
>>109008233Based, Indians are the backbone of the tech industry, trying to gatekeep them like that was stupid as hell.
>>109008233So this is what a republican-owned supreme court looks like? I'm tired of winning mr Trump
>>109008503
>>109008531federal judge =/= supreme court judge, plus it was an obama era appointed democrat judgedon't worry, still has to go through supreme court next
I felt kind of bad for only doing 20 hours of work in a given week, but holy fuck we started doing standups and some of these people were only doing one 2 hour task in a given week it's actually impressive listening to the excuses they come up with to stretch it out. Like they'll say they spent the entire day changing a field to be optional and changing the font of its label. It's insanity
>>109008531The Supreme Court will uphold it like they have virtually every ruling the liberal activist judges have made against Trump. It’s purely a time wasting tactic and they’ll all disappear the next time a democrat wins
>>109008736Remote is great like that. I didn't know how good remote work was until I got a remote job. When I was on-site I and my colleagues were expected to work at the very minimum 10h a day + weekends.
>>109008736how does your stinky manager react to that?
i am spiritually unemployed
>>109008816idk he's always really happy with my work, like almost effusively so. I think the standards are just low because it's civil service >>109008811We're working on site for 16-24 hours a week still so I don't know what the hell they're spending their time on
>>109008940*kiss*
Every week the product owners find a new way to demonstrate how they don't own the product
>>109007413Fullstack is where its at.
I've worked in the US before and honestly I don't trust americans praising my workVery fake people
>>109008233MIGAIGAPROMISES MADE
>>109009481What about other countries?
>>109009481Yes, Americans are very performative and fake people. I admired the US in the past but nowadays I think things would've been better if Britain had won back then. Boycott all American products.
>>109009504Aside from them I've only worked with fellow western europeans and jeets and I think we're all aware of how the latter behave
>>109009534starting with 4channel.org?
>>109009603This website is owned by a nip.
>>109009504Not him.Canadians are like americans but without any of the good parts.Swedes are scared of saying bad things, which is kinda fake, but otherwise they are pretty honest.Dutch only say bad things and then hide under the premise of 'what? I'm just blunt!' but they're full of shit.Chinks are the second greediest, most jewish people I've ever worked with (behind only Canadians).Jeets are... jeets.French are a weird bunch. Very strict hierarchy classes that are only now, I am told, weakening. But your colleagues are very genuine people in my experience. Brits are extremely two-faced and have no ambitions whatsoever. Perfect crabs in a bucket people.Those are the ones I've worked with extensively in my career so far.
>>109009614you work as a swe?that's wild how many horrible people you've faces.didn't expect your dislike for Canadians.
>>109009553
>>109009640Yes, have been mostly in backend or fullstack in my career.Don't know what's up with Canadians, they have been the most consistently horrible, unsalvageable people I've had the displeasure of working with though.
>IT Service Desk work for like 5+ yearsPlease. It's all been Tier 1, too.I've never fully learned a programming language. Now things are weird.I like hardware. Servers interest me. I don't want to sit and take calls from normies pissed that their computer isn't working.
>>109009656you're in monk modefind ways to socializeI highly recommend getting your ass to the skatepark a few evenings each weekit's what saved me in many profound wayst. friendless, gfless, wfh, familyless (they are very far away and dysfunctional)
>>109009742most retarded advice ive heard yetskateboarding isn't going to get me a job
Had a great fap to an old classic from my youth. Finding it on a website without age verification was absolute cancer. Thanks for ruining the entire internet, faggots
>>109009759based palcomix enjoyer
>>109009742me at the skate park
>>109009821Admit it anon, you are a 20-something /biz/jeet.
>>109009756neither is crying in bed or killing yourselfyou seem lonely, I gave a remedy for it
>>109009868Don't bother anon, those people have a female mindset where they don't want a solution but want to bitch, moan, complain and talk about their feelings.
>>109009886>the solution to not getting job interviews and not having enough time to study for job interviews is to waste your time skating so you have even less time to apply to jobs and studyjust a reminder of how easy millennials / gen x had their lives. you could be an absolute retard and still sleepwalk into a six figure job.
>>109009886
>>109009893As I said, you have a female mindset. You don't want solutions, you want to be a bitch. And you'll remain one for life.
>>109009862I'm 37 and I have a great social life, I wasn't the poster you were replying to though I just thought it was ridiculous to suggest someone itt go ride a skateboard. Also you may not have realized this but you're replying in the employed-people thread to a poster in the unemployed thread.
>>109009912nowhere in any of these posts did I ask for advice, yet you felt the need to give me unsolicited (terrible) advice, then consider yourself morally superior when I tell you your advice is retarded.go tell the other thousands of under/unemployed cs grads that the solution to their problems is to go to the skate park.kill yourself.
>>109009893I've failed at 3rd rounds at Amazon, 2nd round at meta, and 1st rounds at many startupsafter 7 years, I finally hit 6 figures in tcgo skating, fix your crying reasons, getting interviews is just luck at this point. you have the skills
>>109009928I wasn't the one who gave you advice you retard. Some other anon felt kind enough to give you a potential solution and you insulted him for it. That didn't sit right with me. KYS you underperforming loser. "Le smart but lazy" amirite? Stay at hell desk for life.>>109009927He posted in both threads.
can anyone explain the hate for web dev? I started doing web stuff once we decided to port our legacy internal applications to the web and it's basically the same process as working on the legacy applications ever was only we can get a nice user interface without any effort and we don't have to trek through 50 year old C code as often
I want friends but I want to stay at home moreActually I don't want friends I just wish my family lived closer
>>10900998290% of programming is webdev these days.
>>109009983you want women and friends like those in 1939
Why am I expected to be nice to retards that give me their unsolicited dogshit advice, and not only am I expected to be nice, I'm expected to be grateful and thank them for their stupidity?If your retarded 55 year old boomer coworker starts ranting about politics and telling you that trump needs to ban interest or get rid of the dollar and make everyone trade in silver, you would call him a retard. Imagine him going up to the president ad saying that. What do you think the logical reaction from the president would be? To tell this guy to get the fuck out of his face.But when it's my life, and someone starts ranting to me about what I should do, and give me retarded advice, I'm supposed to pretend that they're so right and thank them for the same stupid garbage?
>>109010033You could ignore said post altogether but instead you decided to be a little bitch.Also if someone told Trump to get rid of the dollar he'd actually do it because he's retarded.
>>109010033>passive Canadian syndrome
>>109009886wtf thats literally me
>>109010074he literally tried that. he literally tried to make america into a Crypto Country for a rugpull
>>109010115As expected, his genius knows no bounds! The Shart of The Mart!
cold approach hour begins at 5pm, gents. Get your asses to the mall!! Get your asses in the streets!!!

>Company has replaced the window cleaners for our office block with AI powered dronesDidn't have that on my bingo card for AI jobs in 2026. Feels like I live in China.

I got rejected from some small canadian company. they offered 50k/yr and 100% remote work (from south america). is this good or bad? are small canadian companies good?last time I worked for a canadian corporation it was SHIT. tons of useless meeting, requirements and useless crap. so shit, I ended up leaving a month later.
I feel like I have no presence at work. When I tell someone to follow basic troubleshooting steps, they don't listen, someone senior comes in, they listen to him, even though we said the same thing.It also feels like the operators themselves are undertrained. I do work at a school, so I get that students don't have intimate knowledge of these systems. But shouldn't the instructors? I feel like I'm halfway through the courses all of them are doing just by having to troubleshoot shit, and then trying to do the things they were trying to do to figure out why it failed, let alone what the fuck they're talking about when they do. Like if they're pushing buttons, and oh no! the button is unresponsive. Shouldn't they have an IA for that? In my job doing something similar, we had that kind of training, and I'd spend whole watches troubleshooting and generating reports. Even on something as simple as a range day, does someone have to come and clear your rifle for you? These guys are in the military, you'd think they would be used to their hardware and software failing and having initial troubleshooting steps and fallbacks. I know I did. But I was never in that element and am just a civilian worker for them now, so it's not my place to ask those sorts of questions. It's still really annoying, though, that the gear doesn't seem designed to respect the operator, and the operators burst into treats when any part of it fails.
>>109010620how many times are you going to reply to your own posts today
>>109010676how many times are you going to cry about me not having comptia slop
>>109010689>Nigga doesn't have Comptia certsLol no wonder why all your stories revolve around you being a useless furnigger at work who gets zero respect from his coworkers and gets no money for a paycheck.
>>109010711Bravery is not a function of firepower.
>>109009982it's seen as easy due to the proliferation of frameworks but most "web apps" are dogshit anyway so people think the average webdev is responsible for such dogshit despite it being easy

I should ask both my unit and my real job if I can just be put on the courses these people are doing. I got to go on an exercise normally reserved for NCIOPs for some insane reason once, why not load me onto a real course for the helo tactical sensor people when I already literally work there and they're consolidating the trades anyway? Subsurface combat can't be that hard and surface combat must be even easier if the Falklands could win a war
In all seriousness, I'm concerned. When things go wrong at a school that is concerned with literal warfighting, the local tech should not be the first to go crazy-eyed when the systems spoonfeeding you from tactical sensors and widespread intelligence break. The student should have some IAs (Initial Actions -- what you do when something breaks)Just as when your rifle jams, you remember what you heard last, and if you don't remember that, unload, rack, tap, hope for a bang. I'm just a commsie, but even then, you're out of contact? Try someone else, if no one else answers, try a loop back, if that doesn't work, start checking wires, if it all fails, call up to the bridge and inform them you'll be putting up some flags. I get that in a training environment that things should Just Work for demonstration purposes, but you train as you fight, and nothing ever works quite right in the field. It's a good training opportunity -- "It should work this way, but if it doesn't, do that, and then it will, mostly." It's a struggle to even get the instructors to bring up the maintenance code screens so I even know what error codes are popping up before I start doing surgery. It's annoying.
what's with the blogposting/redditposting ITT??jannies pls do your job. is your salary justified here?
>>109010958I haven't even led the most storied life of my peers, but at least I try.
>hey when we do weapon release it doesnt work right fix it fix it!!!>go up ourselves>weapon release works>none of us know wtf they're talking about for monthsDogs like us fighting the first battles. What if instead of complaining, the tactics and doctrine were shared and clear, and we could see where it's going wrong for them? All we know is that you're able to plonk a phantom torpedo into the fake ocean. All the settings appear correct. Maybe I'd be able to help you if I knew more, but no one will tell us.
>>109009732bleakquit your job and get a respectable certification like the CCNA
I can't tell if I've become a better or worse person from having a job. I'm annoyed by a lot of the same sorts of stuff from the navy, I'm still a lazy person who creates a lot of jank when things enter crisis, and my biggest peeve is dumb stuff that creates major crises when it could have been simply janky and working a little bit instead of a total crisis. and for not being an instructor, I hate the instructors. "train as you fight" and all that, but on the one hand, the children deserve better, but on the other, they should be introduced to and acclimated to reality as quickly as possible.
Another 50+ posts from this retard.
>>109011162>students complain they don't get cypher preambleI should have told them to get the paper codebooks out for offline encryption, because that is a real issue that comes up and that was shit i was dealing with in the military on my fucking QL3 (DP2?) basically the thing that comes immediately after infantry safety and basic maneuver warfarethe issue was bigger than that and should have resulted in a total loss of the event but the IA for "I can't use crypto" is "reload crypto" followed by "revert to books and hope you have a pen"
>Boss, my touchscreen isn't responding!Solution should be>Great, you have a trackball and a second screen. A tech will be by shortly. He'll reset one breaker and you're back in action. You're lucky you're not in the air.not>End the event. We're done here.
if anything, back in my day, the complaint was that the training wasn't realistic enough for the platforms we went to.If it were me in my trade>Boss, my tactical chat isn't responding!Great, you have a teletype, and voice. You have this month's crypto books, right? We'll get through this until we get to port. Make contact with Air-Ground-Air to establish a new circuit if you have to. You'll have the whole crew to answer to if we miss the hockey scores over this.
>>109007281its IMPOSSIBLE. just give up. join the intellectual, logical side of humanity and jack off to hentai and post on pol all day. you will never get a girlfriend. they only date guys with 10 inch dicks and are 6'2 and make 6 figures. its literally impossible. just give up gwailo.unresss... you go with honorabru chinawoman ?? so very tradpirredding dong bing baoooo banzaiiiiiii
things break, we're here to fix themit's all very annoying but we must be honest with ourselvesfixing shit owns
I had an interview with this British Quant firm, which I did at 7 am. Within ten minutes, guy was like, "Yeah we don't think there's a good fit. Ada and Python are not what we're looking for. Go away." Damn. I should've never dided the interview.

hit my niggas with Bravery and Faith (but also please hit me with Bravery and Faith sometimes)
All we do is WIN and we've lost the power to loseWe paint our insides black as the shadows 'hind our fleshAnd make all that we lack, the part of life that we forgetAll praise due to the fact that we've forgotten how to sweat it
>>109009742Yeah my man, nothin' like puffing a fat J and hitting up the skate park with the homies! It deadass be lit doe! And macking on the hot 15 year olds got me wholeass feeling good about life again yo. Skating saved my life. It's a lifestyle baby. Zero or die mfer.
>>109011453Fully this saar. When I hit the trail on my motorcycle (Fully electric!) We are doing sick tricks everywhere.
>try for an internal promotion>can actively feel myself saying the wrong thing and not answering their questions>interviewer makes a remark that there are training for softskills during one of my questions>confidence/awareness/levelheaded-ness of what i should've answer comes after the interview is donei myself am the biggest mistake and sabotager of my own progress in life. i could've done more. i could've been better. if only i died during childbirth.
>>109011710Wow, I was just about to post this. Your incompetence and lack of soft skills gives me comfort. Thank you, Anon.
>>109011710>>a remark that there are training for softskills>hr unironically thinks they can cure autism with a retarded little trianinglmao
>>109011710I got my internal promotion by just asking for it, I invited my boss to a meeting, he listened and was just like alright sure
Seriously, how do you pass the interview gauntlet? My soft skills and programming skills disappear during interviews.
>>109011820i dont remember my interview very well (i wrote it off as being just for fun when i did it) but it was basically>yeah my experience exists>no i dont know how to into loonix>i had a winxp box as a 10 year old>when things explode or leak water in my house i try to fix them>i soldered once or twice>sex with aircraftand then because it was a job about aircraft and i thought [sex with aircraft] i emailed them back and then they gave me reference numbers to get a clearance resubmitted and fingerprints done and shit. ive been working on an airbase alongside various other ex-mil degenerates since
>last year me and another guy spent a long time working on a framework to speed up writing tests>essentially wrote simulated ioctl / drivers for our hw under test>fast forward a year and instead of using any of it everyone just tells AI to create a new test and we now have multiple instances of 10 different test functions in the test folder which do the exact same thing
>>109008233I never checked into this because I'm a us citizen and don't really care, but according to my indian manager the fee was essentially impossible to hit, at least at my company. It was something like there was a grace period, and then it only mattered if you were going to get a job less than a year or something, or couldn't convert. I don't remember exactly, I just remember him claiming it was completely performative and not a single person at our company would be affected
>watching the wwdc keynotes>get super excited for xcode 27my brain has been liquefied
>>109011820You either have it or you don't. I work best under pressure so during an interview my brain just hyper focuses and everything goes well. It was the same as tests back in school. I never felt any stress from tests, it was just another day. I would only feel stressed if I wasn't within the first 3 people to turn the test in because it meant I must be having trouble

Why the fuck have TWG threads been hijacked by an insufferable larping furfag posting non-stop? This used to be a thread to talk about actual work, not a blog for an attention-starved retard.Goddamn mods.
>>109012937Its literally every other thread with a easy to read code switch by him posting gay images about his non job he doesn't have to defend himself.
Remember the furry always says you need to take your meds lol every single time he does his faggot easy to read code switch.
>>109011854Shut up furnigger, nobody cares.
>>109012965>>109012993So why do the mods do nothing? It's quite obvious that he's shitting up threads just to publicly display his retarded fetish.
>>109013023Unironically the only thing mods moderate now is if someone was mean to indians. I can smell the mods through the screen.Poo in loo, mods, not in thread!
>>109013023We know who the mods really are.
10 yoe as a project manager. I want to transition into program management, but there is no such role at my current company. I have submitted over 200 job applications and not received a single interview for a program manager position. How the fuck are 23-year-old women straight out of college getting hired for these roles while no company will give me the time of day? Is lying about my current title my only hope of landing a job with this title?

>>109013362No>>109013395I have an M.S. in Information Technology Management from an ok universityI just don't see how a $1,500 PMP certificate is supposed to be more valuable than my M.S. and how it would help me get a job. Tons of worthless foids at my current workplace are PMP certified, and calling them incompetent would actually be a complimentI just don't see how this PMP cert is supposed to make me look more "real" to HR, but apparently companies love it
>>109013416I always get disgusted when people put PMP in their title on linkedin, as if some 2 week cert is a thing you should brag about in your name of all places

>>109011710>interviewer makes a remark that there are training for softskills during one of my questionsHappened to me to but that luckily wasn't during an interview.
Half a year ago I landed a comfy job as a data engineer in pharma (EU). The pay isn't as good as in other places but it's still above average. The good thing is that the workload is usually low, so I was thinking about creating projects or a second income stream instead of focusing on getting a higher paying job. Is this strategy viable? Has anyone done something similar?
>>109013924>creating projectsA huge meme. It wasn't worth it before vibecoding and it especially isn't worth it now.
>>109013934I guess I wasn't specific enough. I was thinking about starting a business or doing some freelance work, not some vibecoded app. For example I have a friend who has a couple 3D printers and is wuite busy running them for custom jobs.I would like not to depend 100% on my regular job for my income.
>>109013947Yeah that might work. Education- and certmaxxing only gets you so far after all.
>>109013947>>109013924maybe you can solve some pain point for your org/clients and sell it...
>>109013982Hi unemployed retard. Let me tell you about this wondrous thing that is called an employment contract, it has a thing called a clause and in particular it always has multiple of them actually, among which a thing called a non-compete clause and not to mention nda clauses. The more you know.

>>109013979Yeah, I was about to get AWS certified this summer but there's not much point to it.>>109013982This might work as a freelance, but I'd like to do something that's not related to my main job.
>>109013989That's not always the case. By the way, why are you so hostile? Didn't mommy warm the tendies today?
>>109014007>That's not always the case>why are you so hostile?You got your answer right there, Cletus. This site is 18+, get the fuck out.

>>109013989Comapny steals your labor in the form of surplus value, the least you can do is steal some of it back.>>109014000Nice, go for it man, it work is slow and you have the time. Just make sure you look busy so they don't give you more work lmao.
>>109014037>Comapny steals your labor in the form of surplus value, the least you can do is steal some of it back.Yes, so long as you have the means to survive being sued to death. The rule of thumb is always the same: if what you're doing is not profitable they don't care. If it is either profitable or too close to their IP you're screwed.
>>109014069>Yes, so long as you have the means to survive being sued to death.This isn't really a thing in Europe. At most you'll get fired.
>>109014073Most retarded post in the thread so far, and that's not exactly /g/'s greatest thread of all times. Well done, must be quite competitive with the record holders.

How to tell if I am peak dunning Kruger and when I actually are overqualified for my job?I genuinely can't tell. I'm consequently being asked to slow down, but I always feel that it's simply tech bros whining about getting good. I don't really feel I do well.
>>109014117It has nothing to do with being good and the fact you thought that was it really says a lot. You are obviously extremely junior and you haven't yet realized that a workplace is middle school-tier politics first and foremost.
>>109014117Tell us a little more about your position and tenure. It might be impostor syndrome, or you might be a tard.
>>109014127I get what you're getting at, but feel free to explain.
everything is a god damned MESS and of course i'm the one who get the task that's impossible to solve without cleaning up the GIANT MESS or producing something atrociously bad that nobody's gonna want to use
I'm about to go into my final year of college and I've refused to use AI for the majority of it. The most I've ever used it for was some minor debugging here and there, and I find that it actually typically slows me down more than it helps, as whatever error I'm facing is usually not caught by the AI. Is there any jobs that would even take someone like me right now? I understand that these places will eventually be looking for people who can actually program without relying on AI, but I don't know if we are fully at that point yet and I expect that even still they'd prefer to hire someone who is comfortable with using it. I'm also planning on moving to Japan in at least a year from now, so I don't know how different things will be there (I'm in the US right now.) I also just don't really know what else I should learn at this point; moreso I don't know where to start as most of what I've done has been gamedev specific and I haven't done anything with databases or web development. Any ideas as to where to start with that kind of thing for someone who genuinely knows nothing about either of them would be great lol.
>>109014184Can't say how it is in japan, but currently all companies in the west only want people who vibecode. There are very very few companies who correctly put a premium on people who know what they're doing, and the situation inhouse is really dreadful. Morale is very low among good developers because they get angry as fuck having to trudge through ai code that never works, but management doesn't care and just adds more ai use kpi's.
>performance review meeting today What do we think? Less than 3%? More than 3%?
>>109014184What makes you think you can just “move” to Japan? Anyway you’re in luck that country is extremely backwards, they probably still code in notepad before printing and faxing each other the source code
>>109014228I got a 50% cut. Startup is doing bad financially, they said we'd get all back in a lump sum in a few weeks. We'll see.
>>109014303RIP.Our startup is in rollercoaster mode but for now it's OK. I'm going to have yearly review in August and hoping for a raise, but I asked for a quite high starting salary on purpose since I know things can always be sketchy and options don't mean shit.
>>109014117This is something you work out in therapy because it's ultimately a confidence issue and how your own personal beliefs align (or not) with your company.Because objective intelligence isn't all that meaningful for most companies. It's great, on a personal level, if you can identify and work through extremely complex problems, but tech business is driven by KPI and often revolves around a CRUD or adjacent product. KPIs aren't hard concepts to understand, and CRUD products aren't hard to develop.Like, if intelligence was all.that mattered, at a minimum we'd see more practical applications of leetcode hard problems to a product, but obviously that's not how billion dollar apps are made.Your best course of action is to forget about dunning kruger altogether. It's not a productive philosophical exercise. TL;DR comparing yourself to others is loser shit.
>>109014073its illegal to make money in europe anyway so its pointless. you WILL make exactly the same as a cashier at a grocery store after getting a bachelors degree.
>>109014303Damn that sucks, sorry anon. I work in a business park boomer company so annual performance reviews are just office space skits unironically.
>>109014322Meh. I make 3x median. 98k when converted to USD. Given cost of life is so much lower, it's more than enough.
>>109011235>>109011102Do you think anyone's fursona has a weird fetish where they like to dress up like humans?

>>109014333that will be 50% tax, plus tip (housing cost 2x per square foot)
>>109014398Housing is far cheaper than in comparable areas in the US. I'm about to buy a house for ~$1.2m which would cost $4m in the same relative location in the US for example.I pay ~30.4% taxes upfront, but I usually get about 1/13 of my post-tax salary back when tax season comes along.In exchange, streets are clean and perfectly maintained, I can go out at 3 am with 0 concern for any kind of safety, there are no shitskins, I don't have to tip, all prices are indicated post-tax instead of pre-tax so actually daily expenses are usually lower than in the US, I have inbuilt healthcare even if I lose my job (though to be fair the healthcare system is really shitty here), and generally quality of life is night and day with big cities in the US.

>>109014703Mortgage duration is either 50 or 33 years (i.e. 2% or 3% amortized). Not 100 years.I don't see why there would be any issue with it being in Romania. But no, think more Northern.
>>109014554Then I need to evaluate how much more I need to learn to try more demanding job.>>109014318Then, if I really am good, I need to aim for the niche difficult jobs. That's not that hard to understand.
>>109014000I was going to grind certs and try and get like azure and aws and other cloud stuff but realized the jobs I want to apply for are systems programming or embedded and I cant find any like widely approved certs for those so just going to get a masters in electrical/computer engineering or something instead and do a ton of systems/embedded projects to make my resume C focused.

>>109014719a mortgage term so bad and fraudulent that its illegal in the US of all placeslook man youre doing good for a european. glad you are enjoying it. but if you take nothing else from this conversation, do not do a 50 year mortgage term. this is as retarded of a financial decision as people making 50k a year with a 1k dollar a month car payment on a hellcat.
>>109014228i got 0 because they didn't mention it, yes the company is not in good shape but it's my turn now. i asked to schedule a followup. if they refuse to give me money i'll ask for vacation days, if they refuse that i'll simply work less hours (already do, but i'll do it without a bad consciousness)
So you're burnt out, don't really want to work anymore, every job is looking the same but you want to find meaning in your life but don't have enough money to even start whatever you want to do. What now?

>>109015334The terms are clear and I will never get back together with her. After all, she has already shown she isn't serious. I am not that kind of person, so there is clearly no match.
guys I am currently in training to become an IT-specialist. Besides school this includes 2x 3 months internship at a business for the practical parts. First year of school was fun and I got good grades, until I got to the first internship at a managed service provider. I didn't expect that work to be this soulcrushing tiresome, boring and gay and the employees are unhappy as fuck both about their work and their pay. Is all of IT like that or did I just pick a bad berry? any recommendations for the next internship?
>>109015316umm?? if you understood him correctly, and other employees (managers) did too, how long until the contract gets terminated?That's like 2 weeks of work (have an bot read all the email traffic from the company email server)Unless he means putting a chat dialogue in outlook? Jfc
>>109015363No, it's all like this. And if by chance you find anything even remotely well-paid, the politics will be so fucked you'll run for the hills and pine for the low-paid jobs you were ready to kill yourself over a month ago.
>>109015381It will never be terminated. That's literally the entire way that consultant works. First, they have 20 contracts at once. They bill 40h+ each (sometimes they bill 80 and pretend they have 2 people working on the project, actually they just personally work 1h a week on the project). Second, they drag the shit out of the timeline to make as much money as possible. The best way to get a contract terminated is to finish ahead of schedule. If you're late but have partial results, then there is a sunk cost effect and the company will often extend.
>>109015397why do boomers in power roles allow their life's work to be desecrated like this?
>>109015382what a shitshow, I'll definitely finish the training but if they all suck like this I'll go back to the polymer factories right afterwards and work there.
>>109015381our it department requires a manual review and lengthy application process for every plugin / executable installed company wide on work pcs lmao its probably only 70% his fault desu

I'm trapped because the job is very close to where I live and I work remotely most of the week too. I would be giving up huge benefits in terms of work life balance but in trade I am forced to be humiliated and passed up for promotion

I have over 20 years of experience. I recently got a new role at company none of you have ever heard of. Since I have been there I have been shocked on how much people rely on AI. For example:>Entire PR’s are just prompted, no one knows how they work but they just put up a 1000 line change and the reviews just rubber stamp it>AI introduces bugs and no one knows how to fix them. Last week we had an entire deployment fail and a whole team of devs didn’t know how to debug it and were told to “just use Claude”>No one gets stuck anymore. This is really weird to me. That touch point where you get another coworker to help you out and you get to know each other better just doesn’t exist>Capacity just doesn’t matter anymore. Get swamped with work? Just have AI agents do it! Yes I’ve been directed to do just that>Everyone is forgetting how to code and no one seems to care. I haven’t heard a single architecture discussion or even a basic coding discussion since I’ve started.This is such a massive contrast from what I experienced for years and years and I feel like I’m going insane
>>109015838AI works great for small-ish projects started from the ground up with AI. But sadly most projects aren't like that and that puts a serious dent on what AI can do. In the hands of a competent dev who knows how to program it still can make them a lot faster.
>>109015857No it doesn't, it literally can't answer how many strawberries are in r
>>109015725can you tell me about your 50 year loan term and why it is actually a good financial decision?
>>109015838Same thing here, but the thing that is most puzzling to me is I've been there just short of a year now. When I started everyone was strongly anti-ai. Now everyone is still strongly anti-ai except the boss who is pushing everyone to use ai in the exact way you describe, and personally pushes ai code and ai-rubber-stamps code that doesn't work etc. And it's breaking in just the ways you describe. We had a problem where m$ is retarded and their shit portal is broken for submitting office addons. I pointed out it's impossible to do a few operations (it's as per m$'s official docs...) and I was told that's not true and to just ask claude to find the button to do the thing... look at and do fucking what? What is claude supposed to do? How is it even supposed to know what the context even is since the whole thing can only be accessed through 50 portals under 80 vpns anyway? But that's all the bossman can say these days.
>Babies first /twg/ role>Overheating and dying in the office heatHow do you do it? It's typical shirt/slacks dress code. I'm wearing an undershirt and long sleeve shirt and it's unbearable, we have to keep the office a certain temperature.
>>109015932meditation works for meI'm very fit though
>it's only tuesday
>>109015889tl;dr: the rate is a small fraction of the global market, mortgage can be frozen for years if I lose my job, mortgage insurance (pays for entire mortgage costs if I lose my job and shit) costs nothing but I don't even need it at this time, even if I lost my job tomorrow I'd still be saving lots of money for the next 9 months before being about even for the next 4 so losing the mortgage is impossible, real estate price is implicitly controlled and the market is very quick (15-30 anywhere in the country to close) so the growth always dramatically outpaces cash down requirements, allowing easy trade in anytime (up or down). Standard repayment clauses on early payment etc.I currently have a rolling plan which can be bound at any moment, and the bound rate would need to go up 4% before it would equal market rate and thus not be as nice anymore. But even at the height of the chink flu it still didn't manage to reach that level just quite.This is about why the 50 years is great: in a word, because the gap between the payment on a higher amortization scheme (which I can afford easily) and the market rate is high, rent is about 30% higher, and inflation is a thing, taking a longer mortgage is always worth it. The same dynamics don't exist in america right now because your rates are only a bit under market, so the tiniest movement will put you in a bad spot.
