I used to be on LinkedIn everyday when I was unemployed and it gave me NOTHING but radioactive cringe, false hopes and soul drainage
Only found a job later when I started looking directly at listings on firms' own websites

>have week off
>realize i have nothing to do and am bored all day
>brain rejects any sort of personal project, can't get myself to work
>essentially "doomscroll" all day

So I started a new job and my first task is to shadow a greenfield vibe coded project, learn the best practices and introduce vibe coding into an existing project.
At first I felt overwhelmed by the task, due to it being so abstract and vague. I didn't really know what I had to do, other than say to the new team "You have to use claude code now".
Then, however, I took a step back, and started by talking to the stake holders, getting a clearer picture what they actually want. I think it helped me a lot to calm down and get a better understanding of the situation. I think, my next step is gonna be, talking to key members of both teams (PO, tech lead, engineering manager) to get a better understanding of the project.
It seems like my new position is less about writing code and more about talking to people.

>my new position is less about writing code and more about talking to people
After Claude, I became glorified help desk, seriously considering becoming a delivery man for Amazon instead of this bullshit

My crippling shyness prevents me from ever getting a higher role like project leader or manager and I hate it.

>>109225241
I just did the same thing with my mandatory summer break

>>109225241
Play some vidya unironically.

I'm amazed at how good Claude is at analyzing code. We have plenty of old, incomprehensible code written ages ago by people who are no longer with the company. For a long time no one really could figure out all these black box parts. Opus 4.8 was surprisingly good at figuring out complicated workflows and document them. My next task is to tell Claude to simplify the code by taking out obsolete parts.

Accept starting on entry-level job. Strictly programming or coding is not entry-level anymore, by any means. Nothing that involves actual computer science or software engineering has an entry-level access today.
Get some beginner computer guy certificates and start doing field tech support. I started this way, up to sysadmin, now I'm kind of like a jack of all trades programmer. I'm not exactly making a lot of money, but I have a job and it pays the bills.

WFH is the best thing that came out of covid.

My grandfather started our precision machining company after the war, my dad expanded it nationally, and I recently stepped in as CEO after finishing my business degree. The first thing I did was remove all the chairs from the shop floor. If they're sitting down, they're thinking about unions instead of productivity.

I don't like calling them employees. I prefer "production assets." It helps reinforce the culture. Every morning I walk through the plant in spotless loafers, point at random machines, and ask things like, "Is this spindle maximizing shareholder value?" They usually just stare at me, which tells me they're intimidated by strong leadership.

I've also started referring to everyone by their payroll number instead of their name. It keeps things professional. Last Friday one of them mentioned he'd missed his kid's baseball game because of overtime, so I congratulated him on demonstrating commitment to the company. He didn't seem very appreciative, but that's the problem with hourly people...they're always focused on the short term.

Dad says morale has never been lower, but quarterly profits are up 0.8%, so I think history will vindicate me.

>helpdesk does not lead to swe
Field tech support is not help desk, you absolute mongoloid. You start by programming scripts to make your life easier, then you start offering solutions they could easily buy from a third party, but instead they buy from you, because it's already made. By you. And you're already working there, so they know you and you sell cheap to overcome the external market. Create an "ecosystem", then expand to other companies. Worked like a charm, started in the field 8 years ago. Software dev head first is a fucking trap, fall for it if you want, get your certificates, update your repos regularly and whatnot, and prepare to compete with jeets and be substituted by people like me: managerial sysadmins with AI. 20% actual technical abilities, 80% lack of shame. You don't know how every market works. There are local markets for IT/tech, every region has an employability environment. If computerfags focused on dominating the local markets instead of riding trends or cowering from people, things wouldn't be so bad.

The paid version of Opus 4.8 that our company uses is really good. It's not jeet level code at all.

A few days ago I also used it successfully for DB analysis. I'm a developer, not a DBA, so I have a good but not in-depth understanding about how databases work. I gave it a description of the tables and PL/SQL queries and asked it to create diagnostics on why the queries would be slow. It gave me a diagnostics script I then ran, and fed it back the results. It correctly identified some issues that I wasn't aware of that even could have existed. Of course it takes a few iterations back and forth but it found things I never would have. The main culprit slowdown was an index-related problem which it correctly identified and provided a fix.

This. But you need to have a job first before it'll work. You add people from other companies like clients and consultants you meet through work. Then when you're thinking of switching you hit them up. If they remember that you did a good job then they'll get you an interview. It just works, that's how I've been job hopping every 3 years for huge pay increases.
But you DO have to make an effort to be likeable. No one will get you a job if they think you're boring or a chud.

that sounds legit crazy. i have been using 5.4 since november and i've used it on about a dozen client projects and it only fucks up maybe once every few weeks. even then, it's easy to fix. but, i don't just tell it "[DO THING AND MAKE IT WORK IN 1 PASS]". i ask for its plan before it starts and i make sure we're on the same page before telling it to proceed. *that alone* has helped out a fuckton.

At my last job, I interviewed someone like that. He was actually the best at the coding challenge, but he was way off on the soft questions. We were hiring a staff level, and he was like, "Yeah I wrote some tests one time"
I tried to push for hiring him at a lower level if a slot opened up, but idk what happened.

no idea why people go out of their way to make their lives harder in an already shit and hard job market

I did 3 interviews, and the last thing the 3rd interviewer said to me during the interview was that if things went well, their HR team would reach out to me to discuss compensation and sign the contract.
That was last Thursday, and I haven't heard from them since.
Am I officially ghosted?
They were getting back to me pretty quickly at first - about 2 business days between each interview arrangement.

I just have a lot of anxiety lately. I'm confident in my own skills over the last 13 years, but I don't believe skills matter much for keeping a job. Companies seem to wholesale shed their employees at the drop of a hat, for any reason, and enough of them are doing it that the competition for any job opening is insane. I can't control any of that. I wonder if this current job will be my last one in tech because it feels like the industry is crashing.

Honestly I tried all kinds of hard drugs and drinking and weed are the only drugs that are actually fun and don’t feel like a fast forward spell that leaves you sick. Weed makes doing nothing fun and alcohol makes you social and energetic, at least before you get blackout drunk. It’s nice to go to a bar, drink a bit, get loose and talk with randos about politics or whatever, maybe make some new friends, maybe fuck.

People do more than just ignore you. They outright tell you to fuck off in the US. College towns which are known for higher than average pop of students tend to be more friendly even in the outlying area of a bars/clubs. But if you go to a big city even those bars are stuffy with backwards ass people who don't want to socialize outside of the friend group they brought with them.

>>109234146
That sucks. Honestly people in the US seem incredibly rude and hostile overall. I never understood if it’s a perception I got from online or reality.

>>109234155
Its a mix. You get a surface level of kindness and willingness to help but no one is really friendly anymore or even when i grew up they were all assholes. It works since society functions on getting shit done but deeper bonds of any kind are rare if not impossible to form. Long term friendship/family relationships are hard. We don't even have the asian excuse of competition to fight over at least until recently it started showing up so its getting worse. At least we aren't 2 face or rude as the koreans however. worked there for 2 years and it was enough.

How important is familiarity with all this agentic/ai shit for SWE now?

Exactly: they can only tell if something is running ON the computer you're having the test.
Just pull up your phone and send all that stuff into ChatGPT or whathaveyou. Then copy that text.
