>>109346334Anons, I am a 44 year old NEET who kind of likes computers after being addicted to the internet for most of my adult life. I have a felony conviction which causes me to need to register and report my location every 5 years. Can I make it as a programmer? I would settle for 90K starting but I would prefer to make it at FAANG. If I get a computer science degree will that get me a job? I am smarter than everyone I know, so please answer with that in mind.
>>109346423It totally was why he got let go. they don't like it when you confront them with the utter worthlessness of their made up terminology.
>>109346423I get really angry when I see/hear about someone slightly more autistic than me, such as that guy
>>109346360>Database Engineer>Database ArchitectYou know what? After seeing a couple of database schemas designed by "software engineers" I'd want a "database architect" if I were doing a greenfield project.
>>109346423the only possibility this is real at all is that it involves basketball americans hired on DEI doing pretend work. nobody in the world could be this clueless to say that during a probation period.upvoted for such an obviously real story. and take my gold while you're at it gentlesir.
>>109346423LMAO
>>109346399>felony convictionYou will never be trusted with Software Engineering or Information Technology. I would suggest you apply to be a mechanic through whatever school program they got at your local college. Pay is decent if you specialize in stuff like Dieseals but you will never be trusted around aircraft and barely trusted around naval vessels. If you were under the age of 39 you could still try applying for the military but a felony is a hard no majority of the time.
>>109346449Oh relax, it's funny.
>>109346456Eh. Not at a FAANG. Some smaller companies never do background checks. Although I don't know how you bootstrap as a junior like that. Hell I don't know how you bootstrap as a 22 year old college graduate with no convictions and a portfolio of side projects. The only reason I got most of my jobs is because I already knew people.
>>109346473Yeah but nepotism and friends supersedes everything anyways. If you have a felony conviction you have a near zero chance of getting started. Especially since he claims to be a NEET so any major gap between work longer than 2 years is almost blacklisted which is why most normal people get their masters degree to make up for that lack of work.
I just started an in-person course for cyber security.The lecturer just played for us an EliTheComputerGuy video on Windows Server Active Directory Directory Management. Then asked>Who here's head is exploding?I thought the video was a good basic introduction. Eli is always very clear.Then the lecturer drops a bombshell>We are going to spend the next 10 weeks breaking this down.My ears were ringing, I broke a sweat as a wave of panic rolls over me.I'm going to be so fucking bored.
>>109346334>be the solo it admin who works with an in house programmer for a small company that is expanding fast>have worked at a lot of larger companies so I know what works>company admin is too retarded sometimes so now I have to fucking shape all their business practices too>we're talking onboarding, offboarding, training needs and goals, fucking every kind of policy, shit sucks>have to constantly prove that I'm fucking right and we shouldn't try to diy everything
>>109346541ELI's older stuff was pretty decent but he never updated those videos so its going to be as outdated as any college degree program.I hope you didn't pay for that course it sounds mediocre.
>>109346399>I am a 44 year old NEET who kind of likes computers after being addicted to the internet for most of my adult life. I have a felony conviction which causes me to need to register and report my location every 5 years. Can I make it as a programmer?is this a joke?the whole industry is ageist, the market is getting fucked, and you think you'll get a job as a programmer... and, even more, you want a job at FAANG?I guess you could try your luck. maybe some progressive company will give you an opportunity if you talk about your mistakes in life and whatever. I wouldn't expect to get paid much though.
>>109346557>the whole industry is ageist
>>109346561are you retarded? those whose age is > 40 years are experienced people, not some random retard who decided to become a programmeralso, your own chart shows that those 50+ years old are getting fired too.
>>109346586>every single age group except under 30 year olds has more employees than before covid>the same boomers crying about ageism are laying off zoomers and blocking them from entering the market, hiring other 35+ year old retards because "muh yoe">NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE INDUSTRY IS AGIST AGAINST US NOOOOOOOOOspiritually jewishthey cry out in pain as they strike you
>>109346557It's kind of crazy how around the ten year mark interviews are almost more about the company convincing you to work there than you convincing them to hire you.
A great litmus test if your coworker is cool or not is to ask him what his favorite Final Fantasy is.

>>109346755>oy vey please think about the 6 million gen x'ers with 500k in savings, they got laid off and it took them 2 months to find a new job! it's a fucking shoah

We are now down to 3 people on my product team. My job has been reduced to compiling requirements, feeding them to an agent to be written up as work items on ADO which are then automatically fed to implementation agents. I assign pity tasks to the other two team members who take a week to perform a task an agent can do in 30 minutes, and the only bugs coming out of testing in the last 2 months have been from them. My boss understands this, but needs them billing the project to justify our budget.I've spent the last 3 months having agents build all the internal "nice to haves but never had the budget" tools and interfaces. I've tried increasing the product scope, with minor success, but am limited due to not scaring the clients and "keeping the status quo" from management. Any increased scope I've won has been shred through by the agents. At this point I'm just on autopilot until stakeholders wake up to the reality on the ground.
>>109346917thank you ranjesh, upvote!
Agentic projects are a fad. All the early adopters say AI is the future and will only get better. If that's the case: What happens when AI gets good enough that you don't need to fumble with agentic projects?If you believe in hyperscaling, then you already understand that agentic projects are a stopgap, and agentic stuff will soon become deprecated.You have to bet *against* hyperscaling to think agentic skillsets will survive long term.The only use of agentic skillsets is to convince someone to give you money for your work or your business, while the fad is still going.If you're only in it for the money, then you are smarter than the rest of your peers.
>>109347074On this note, if you're not already good at cloud architecture, then it's time to learn.Enterprises are already at the API-primary phase because local hardware just cannot compete, and this disparity will only get worse from hyperscaling.Compute facilities will also improve and diversify their offerings, allowing physical and logical segregation of resources as desired.Harnesses and frameworks are already mostly drop-in, and the current loose ends will certainly be tied off in the years to come.Together, this means cloud architecture pros (that can orchestrate work while keeping costs low) will be the new hotness.Of course, in the distant future, even cloud architecture skillsets will eventually also not be needed.If you can follow a guide today on agentic projects, and have any sort of charisma, then you can get an immediate massive pay bump.While the fad is running its course, get better at cloud architecture, including managing models and agents and etc in the cloud. So you're ready for that to take off.During all this, you should be forking money between building a homestead and investing.No one is trying to avoid the consumption crash (where a critical mass of consumers have no income to buy goods/services), so a crash is definitely coming.There are verbal promises for a "robot tax" (UBI) but that framework has seen zero development/legislation and is unlikely to be in place in time.I think it's inevitable that companies with all this power complete take over a random powerless country (like how unions take over a town).This would allow them to operate outside of regulatory environments on all fronts, including creating "utopia" (dystopia) with gatekept immigration.This would be a form of modern colonialism, the same way that colonial-era powers exploited foreign nations, "utopia" would exploit first-world nations.There's already precedence with ocean vessels "buying" flagging from certain powerless countries.
>>109347074>>109347230TLDR today's agentic model is not permanent, hyperscaling cloud is next, get money while you can to homestead and build investment capital, society will crash from lack of consumption, companies will exploit the crash to establish full legal independence, and the world will enter permanent poverty and slavery under techno-feudalism. Get ahead of it, do not fall victim to it.

>manager schedules a 1:1 for 15 minutes in the future >I didn't see the outlook invite and therefore miss the meeting >I ask him what he needs>He vague posts and says he'll reschedule I mean if he was going to fire me he wouldn't reschedule right?
>>109346555had a similar experience at a shitty startup. the ceo was beyond retarded and delegated every important decision to a "shareholder" who was just a guy working there illegally (got hit by a bus a few years ago and wasnt technically allowed to work). he is def experiencing some ai psychosis too, buddy ran essentially the entire company based on whatever a random ai told him. worked there almost 2 years and then quit, the other programmer there is quitting end of this month and the company is probably imploding soon after lol
>>109348497>it's not something zoomers are familiar with.
is DevOps dying?
>>109348919I don't think so. It's not a fad anymore but it's holding steady.
WHY HASNT LEETCODE UPDATED MY CONTEST RANK YET ITS BEEN 5 DAYS!!!!
If your management isn't protecting you, is there a way to get out of bullshit projects? Aka stakeholder wants a vague fucking ask, won't clarify shit and then when you present them with something they'll either tear it apart and go NO YOU DIDNT READ MY MIND
>Product released a buggy update again.I'm about to write this shit on my suicide note holy fuck.
>>109346423Well the man avoided a company with retards and winners.
>don't enjoy using AI as an employee>realize my only option out of this is to use AI and try to make a product of my own
>>109349461Blame QA for not catching the bugs and move on. Simple as.
>>109349637It's our vendor. Doesn't stop the business team from seething on my ass and complaining and I can't BITCH too much about my vendor or they'll actually replace them and I'll be out of a job since I manage their application and account...

saar...please give refugee status saar
>>109349865Why do they do this? Since my small boomer company was acquired by a bigger one almost everyone adopted a cult like way of speaking where they keep spouting the same buzzword salad over and over. The fact that they also keep throwing English words left and right for no reason makes it even better.>>109349891I just refused to check this kind of PR. If they insist I tell them I'll need the whole day and they just have someone else review it, which means for approve it without reading it.
>>109349891Close it and make them reopen with 3 changed files max. Literally not your problem
>>109349551I believe in you anon, break free from the corporate chains, I'm sure you have a product idea in you, just take one hit, one prompt, just to see what happens, come on anon, don't be a pussy, everyone is doing it
>>109350090>I just refused to check this kind of PR. If they insist I tell them I'll need the whole day and they just have someone else review it, which means for approve it without reading it.This, the benefit is two fold1) You won't be the one having to do it.2) If it breaks something after getting merged in, you won't be the one held responsible for it because you were not the reviewer.
>>109350198Oh and a third point:You will not be at risk of being called a blocker because you did not review the merge request in a timely manner.
>>109349865Sorry breh, too many irons in the fire
I don't know what you would call this but anyone hate how "political" work can get? >Get task from someone >do task>have to be careful about oversharing, saying information, even just saying it's "done" could lead into something much bigger than it should be. Like what do you even call this bullshit holy fuck?
>three interviews today>have no idea what any of them are going to be about>one of them is a live coding interview, no idea what topic either (debugging, leetcode, etc.)>last one is with the hiring manager and his boss

>>109350628You said this in the last thread, stop larping. People who get to work at big companies like that don't post here
What should I say for interviews on "why I'm leaving my job?"I've been debating between these 3:>Company is a mess organizationally, nothing can get done because scope creep moves the goalpost to infinity.>Too much red tape, nobody actually wants change so it's difficult to grow my skills and improve.>Commute (1:30 one way) First two sounds like I'm blaming the company and the last just sounds like I'm whiny....
>>109350947I normally shit talk my current one, my mom says not to but fuck it
>>109350934I'm not working for them (yet) and its not a larpu could just apply and like, get in if you leetcode and know swift lol
>>109350947The 3rd, you're not crazy for not wanting to commute an hour and a half one way
>>109350947Third + I've outgrown my current position and want more
I wanna be a neet so bad brosit's true as you get older you really wanna wind down. I got my etfs locked in a few years back. Things are ok. Not 6 figs yet. But I'm tired.McDonald's would probably be more fun to work at
>>109351004Not him but I literally can't.FAGMAN won't even give me the chance to interview, my applications go straight to their black holes. 7 yoe, btw.
>>109351096just, like, apply more?I've interviewed with Meta, *mazon (fuck *mazon btw), Google, Apple, and Microsoft. Just like, have a good resume? 90% of the time the interviews are just soft technical questions and a leetcode medium.Did I mention fuck *mazon btw?
>>109351161every time I hear a resume is bad I look at other resumes that are deemed "good" and I just cannot understand why they're so much better than the "bad" ones... I dont want to use AI to make my resume though I tried once and got zero interviews
>>109351161Funnily enough Amazon is the most responsive one and used to get back to me back in the day (but I flunked the leetcode mediums), now even they won't do it. My resume is fine and does get responses from smaller companies, just not from FAGMAN. I used to apply every six months, but I've given up on them a year ago.
>>109351066>>109351092It's just more if they go "well....this position may have you moving around" that's not really a huge gamebreaker for me. The commute isn't even really a red flag for me, it's really just the first 2.>>109350995Last time I had an interview I just said the re-org shifted some of the goals and priorities and I no longer hold the same values with the company or something like that. Think that was fine but it's been a while since the re-org now and I don't know what to say for these bites.
>>109350947how do you retards have jobs?>I'm grateful for the opportunity this company has given me and I've learned a lot during my time at this job, but I have outgrown my current role and I'm looking for new challenges with more responsibility that will give me further opportunities for growth.you do not>shit talk your current employer>cry about a commute>mention bureaucracy or red tapeeverything you say will be used against you. you are giving the interviewer rope to hang you with.fucking gen x retards
>>109351161so do you have an actual job right now? or are you a professional interviewer & the go to guy for when one of those companies needs to hire H1B but has to pretend they tried to actually get a US citizen, so they interview only the biggest retards possible?
>>109351777I think you're an angry laid off developer or a cocky uni studnet
>>109351793my lifestyle is funded by an ontological source of income
I'm saving my tech money to become a human vet aka a md or work at hospital. >10 years of hard studies just to get dream 24/7 job. No more depressing weekends.I love this idea so much. >>109346423He was legit and mostly right. Circling back is a phrase, but if someone can speak only in linkedin buzzwords then they ain't moving forward.>>109351161Is this a new persona of fu|7 d4l1t?>>109349955Sounds normal desu. Any time your managerales you pitch anything to anyone is because they have to do it but chances of success are low and manager doesn't want to risk own reputation.
>>109346423he's just like me
how much gooning on the job is too much gooning on the job?
Is AI actually useful to code, beyond weekend projects? I only see it promoted by these type of people:>grifters>twitter billionaires (advanced grifters)>trolls>middle managers>people who were unable to code without AII'd like to hear a nuanced opinion about AI coding from people who can actually do the grunt work without the AI crutch. It feels like all discussion is immediately ruined by the bad faith actors, or people that want to bury their head in the sand (understandable).
>gave my two weeks >boss STILL asks me to work overtimelol
>>109352576found a new gig?
>>109352458I have been using Codex to do my 9-5 software engineering job for me for months.
>>109352458I spend five minutes telling it what to do and it does it. Saves me a lot of thinking. A day becomes 15 min
>>109352458I tend to use AI as a way to generate a days worth of code in 20-30 minutes at my job but don't use AI on side stuff because what's the point of doing stuff to learn if you just have AI do everything
>>109352458see>>109346917It basically wasn't useful until ~Feb 2026. Maybe November 2025 if you were willing to bang your head against the wall.
>>109352657>because what's the point of doing stuff to learn if you just have AI do everythingI agree if your goal is learning, but if your goal is producing something, you can scopemaxx your side projects orders of magnitude beyond was ever even remotely feasible for a single person
>>109351095>McDonald's would probably be more fun to work atNo, it isn't. You're the personality type to post in this specific thread in this specific board. A service industry job ANYWHERE is going to crush your soul in ways you never even comprehended before. Service jobs turn you into a prime candidate for the CIA to turn you into a mass shooter. Have you ever wanted to murder someone for remarking about the weather or asking to see your manager? I sure have.
>>109352718I used to work there. It was fine cus I'd work 6am to 2 pm
>>109352712true but I really only ever do side stuff to learn
>>109352679>>109352657Don't your ability to understand your project and general coding skills atrophy?
Sitting in a cubicle having to listen to your retarded coworkers is fucking torture. Nobody fucking cares about your son's tball game you stupid fucking bitch
>>109352819quit your job and become self-employed
>>109352819What would Jesus do anon? Don't be so judgemental
>>109352898He wouldn't allow women in the workplace
>>109352816Yes. They are pushing it hard in my company.When AI wasn't as powerful (like copilot's autocomplete or early chatgpt) I didn't feel it hindered my skills in any way. Auto complete saved me a lot of typing and I could use chatgpt for concrete, small bits of code.They we started using Codex and Claude. Models were better but still needed a lot of guidance and planning so you more or less staid in touch with what you were building. Then we got access to Opus and Fable and people either just don't plan at all, if they do no one bothers reading the plans.We had a chat about gigantic PRs with our manager because people just blindly approve them but the truth is thar absolutely no one actually knows the code base.Also everyone acts like they're hot shit, self proclaiming them AI "experts" when you can learn pretty much everything you need in a couple of days.
>>109352816It's just going up a layer of abstraction. Syntax/standard library intuitions etc. are probably atrophying, although it's only been a few months so the jury is still out. In terms of overall architecture, understanding the system as a whole and how the pieces fit together, that's basically the only remaining part of my job. I just delegate the implementation to a clanker. I assume that as the models get better, the level of abstraction that I operate on will increase. You get to a point where you know what a specific module's role is and the general shape of it's input and output is, and increasingly delegate the ownership of it's specific implementation to an agent. Until you get used to the model's capabilities, it sounds terrifying to do that, and up until a few months ago, it was irresponsible. I would not trust an agent with that level ownership 6 months ago. With the latest models, I do.I think the light bulb moment happens when a developer becomes intimately aware of what the model is capable of, allowing them to comfortably defer to it within those bounds. Doing that requires spending a lot of time with models, it's a skill in itself. I have no idea how much more ownership they will be capable of 6 months from now. This could all change completely if there is another step function increase in capability.
>>109352816I mean maybe if you are only using AI for programming entirely. Doing outside programming without AI kinda keeps your skills up. I just dont care enough to try at all at my current job it's all retarded anyway
>>109353002I also want to clarify that my current set up only works because I am effectively a 1 man shop on my project with two developers that I hand fake tasks to. I have no idea how large teams of people could possibly be working on the same codebase in this manner and maintain an understanding of it. I honestly feel like it would just slow things down.
>>109352580yeah, but I actually feel bad. they've been nice to me but the pay is shit, they always ask me to work overtime, the job is terrible because everything is 20 years old, and i have an hour long commute. so on a regular day I would be working 10-12 hours for the equivalent of $18 an hour after gas and taxes and tolls. helldesk btw. never work for boomer companies. if you go into their offices and not a single macbook is in sight, fucking run.>clock out>boss calls me 20 minuters later>"we have a problem, you need to come back">lol
>>109352924Not a single woman in my office.As soon as I get there>Anon have you watched the latest Netflix slop>Hey guys are you going to watch the Odyssey?>Omg I watched obsession, such a great movie>Can't wait to play the latest AAA game for only $69.99 + tip>[Background nigger music]
>>109352458everyone is using it. it is incredibly useful. anyone who says it isnt is trolling or retarded.even if token costs skyrocket it will still end up being utilized in some way.the anon that said it was shit until very recently is right. it went from meh to very impressive in a short period of time.
>>109353105I wouldn't wish this shit on my worst enemy
>>109353105pre-covid it was nonstop capeshit discussion. So glad I have been remote ever since
>>109352816yes. i dont know how fresh grads plan to learn how to code meaningfully. part of learning was getting your first job and just grinding stuff out. nobody wants or needs anyone under sr level blindly using AI.
>>109353105maybe you could join in on the discussions if they were talking about gore videos or hardcore pornography? weird ass freak. just turn your brain off and watch the oddessy its literally good and game of thrones is epic. you are just a gay nerd.some of you freaks need to count your blessings we dont start giving you wedgies for being so weird at work. programming isn't just for guys with autism, OCD, or ASPD now, normal people can do it too.
>impose quotas impossible to meet without LLMs>we are still responsible if an LLM fucks up>it is impossible to review the torrent of slop in timeare they trying to fire us with a cause to not pay the severance?
I WFH and upper management expects me to become great friends with our stakeholders and customers in order to secure more business deals. But first of all, I'm kind of autistic and not a good people person, and second, our customers are mostly engineers and silicon valley managers who also aren't very social - they don't like talking about the world, games, movies, the World Cup, sports, or anything outside of work. They keep everything strictly business, and whenever I have a meeting with them it's over in 5 minutes.I actually got chewed out by my boss today because he saw some of my meeting recordings and said I'm too cold and need to bring more warmth to the relationship I have with our customers.So in today's meeting I tried to be more sociable and it went like this:>welcome back from PTO, Sir. I hope you had a wonderful time>"thank you">so what did you do during the weekend?>"nothing much. I stayed at home.">did you watch the world cup finals>"no">it's really hot today>"yes"At that point I noticed he started getting annoyed with my questions so I just got started talking business and finished the meeting in 10 minutes.This is the hardest job in the world
>coworker has worked here 8 years more than>got pissed when I was promoted before her >threatened to quit>management satiated her with a raise that was 10% more than mine>a few years later>we both get promoted as part of a restructuring >same type of title, now both reporting to same director>find out she's now making 25% more than meAm l right to be pissed? We have the same title and that much of a difference in pay wouldn't be just from longevity
the incidents keep piling up faster and fasterour clients are getting annoyed
>>109353372Odyssey was pretty mediocre. tbf my only personality trait is I hate my fucking job.
>>109353795>25%That's nothing.Where I work there's people in the same role that one makes 18k/mo while the other makes 3k/mo
>>109353795I assured you no directors are losing sleep over you making 25% less than her, they don't give a shit. The reason she gets raises is because she complains. You don't get shit because you just stay quiet,
>>109353921how is that possible
Why are we dead?
>>109353929>The reason she gets raises is because she complains. You don't get shit because you just stay quietthis. no one cares if you put your head down and work hardi asked my director why i was being paid less than the other people on my team when i've been doing more work than them for over 2 years and he sent an email down the leadership chain inquiring about itmy manager blew up at me saying i shouldn't have gone above him and they were already working on something behind the scenes (which is bullshit because i already asked him a long time ago)
>>109346334if I am trying to break out of web dev into something c++ related like enterprise software stuff or systems engineering does it make sense to try and just make C++ projects on github or will hiring managers not care because my only job out of college is web dev? I am doing some online graduate courses for embedded systems that can be rolled into a masters in EE/CE but that'll take years to complete and is expensive. Do I have any other options or am I kinda just cucked into only doing web dev unless I get a masters degree?
>>109354652Be like me and luck into a company that has a fairly vertically integrated stackOf course, my degree is in CE, so that also helped
>>109354705bro I WISH. Work with PHP and dont want to work with it ever again. Would rather do C/C++ I'd even learn rust for this to get out of PHP

I have an interview tomorrow and it's a job I really want. (chill environment). I'm currently burnt out on my role so I'm scared that it's going to leak out while I interview.... just gotta remain positive!
>>109355540but what do you mostly work with? Like C++ or something and just have some legacy scripts in PHP? Or do you do like light web dev as well as C++ or something?
>>109355031>spending your parents money on "education" and traveling/sabbatical year even before working for a single day>to work in an industry that is collapsingHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAI hope her daddy owns a tech company, is a manager or some shit, because otherwise she's fucked
>>109355590Recently, C++ on edge devices. All the PHP I've touched was legacy. I was supposed to port one of those apps to Typescript, but it never saw the light of day after the cloud guy complained about database locks and a fire distracted anyone from caring enough to fix it.I don't do web dev anymore, though no

>>109356445BUT CAN HE SKIP?!
>>109352458i've been using it to shit out prototypes to show to client. Very fast and useful use case imo. I'll try it out for actual coding soon, but so far the code quality doesn't seem very good. full of unneeded abstractions and duplication.And that's like for a small 2 page vibecoded prototype. How can people skim reviewing and treat it as another layer of abstraction seems a bit sus to me.

>>109353570>they don't like talking about the world, games, movies, the World Cup, sports, or anything outside of work. They keep everything strictly business, and whenever I have a meeting with them it's over in 5 minutessounds like a dream. tell him that you like your meetings because they are so efficient and to the point. if he agrees, you got it on video and can show your manager so he gets off your back
>>109353570Have you tried talking about open source software or AI? I work with a bunch of people like this and I'm like this and we get in trouble sometimes for talking about this stuff instead of working.
>>109356766Yeah and lots of fiber optics and Linux commands so probably a lot of opportunities to be autistic about Arch.
>>109356797>ArchEhh maybe alot less than you think. Consider Redhat, Kubernetes, VMware, Azure, AWS, certificationsLinux OS's i have seen but can't really say are definitive towards your location will be Redhat, OpenSuse, Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora. Other than that learn to hate windows server now its at least half the market.

so apparently the leetcode knight badge isn't top 25%, it's 1850+ elo and top 25%, which equals to top ~4% site wide. So the minimum ranking is 35,200 / 860,000 users.
>>109357403All the models have their strengths. I haven’t been using Opus much since Fable came out. Probably the best for having a view of the entire project and doing planning/architecting with. I don't like using Fable for code reviewing other people's PRs though, it sure finds a lot of shit that it will tell you is definitely a problem but actually isn't or is pre-existing. Fable and Opus also go way overboard on the comments overexplaining shit in a way that is hyper specific to a particular context too so I prefer to use Sonnet for the actual dev agents once the work has been split up into bite sized epics/stories by Fable or Opus.I don't have gippity at work but I use it for my personal projects due to being a bit more generous on token usage. Sol makes a pretty great dev agent, really good at autistic details, but it gets extremely focused on little shit that doesn't matter for planning while missing some big picture stuff. Fable is a bit better for planning imo.
My app has launched, I'm now in the dreaded sales/marketing phase. It's a creep. Only a few users (including myself) atm. I give myself until winter then I will rejoin the corporate hellscape.
>>109359541but this winter is when ai gets beyond good
>>109359594It's already pretty damn good, and building your own app + business is how you learn to really master it. I've mostly played QA/PO and let it do the heavy lifting after templating out the stack and architecture.It's actually hilarious how terrible corporations are at integrating it cause it really could lay off 90% of departments if you give your Gods the keys. I quit my last job because they were so pants on head about it and could detect this is my last chance to possibly build my own thing.
>>109357403Use sol and terra right now. The only anthropic model worth using right now is Fable. Reassess once opus 5 is out.

Are people just really bad with tech? I started a new job like 9 months ago and busted my ass to get a good rapport. Now im kind of the quasi tech guy in my team, i didn’t even do anything crazy just VBA macros/some if formulas and power automate.Anyways they are planning to send me to a conference to help get some automation ideas, just feels bad cause my boss gives me tech task but I do them so quick I end up twiddling my thumbs for the whole day/weeks.

>>109364318u definitely don't but if you don't have one you need some serious effort and experience to gain the knowledge u lack, and of course recruiters are going to filter u out just for that and give u shit for it unless you have serious experience at faang or something.if I could go back in time I would get a degree, 4 years of fucking around and neeting while my parents pay for my shit. >t. no degree
>>109364286and how do you prove youre a top .1 candidate if you have no degree or work history?>sheeeit, da maff aint maffin cuhhh
>>109364357He’s delusional. It’s literally complete luck whether they choose to interview you or not. Amazing candidates are viewed as “overqualified” and not interviewed
At this point it's probably easier to start your own company than to go get hired by some shitter company. And while you're at it you have higher earning potential.
>>109364425how would a fledgling company find clients? what would you start as a small business owner?
i graduated with a 4.0 in CS from my state school on a full ride and i feel like the whole experience was worthless.my whole life i wanted to work for a big company like apple or google, and instead i work for a small family owned firm where i barely do any engineering. i like the company, and i make 75k doing nothing most of the time, but i feel so disappointed, like i failed.i probably could've grinded leetcode but i guess i just didn't have it in me anymore. i did all that while i was a student in the early 2020s during peak h1b and layoffs and i had so many bad interviews and i got ghosted by so many employers that it demoralized me.the bright side is i'm only 22 so i guess i could pivot but i feel like every day i spend at this local company lowers my odds of ever breaking into big tech.i already took the lsat so i might just pivot into law at this point. i love computers but i hate the tech industry right now.
>>109364470>thinking that retard has any practical advice to givelol
>>109364471whatd you get on the LSAT? being a lawler seems pretty gay imo, just wearing little suits and sucking up to kikes and kike judges.
>>109364485172want to get some work experience maybe i can go T14 and get into biglaw and make 300k+ a year.whether it's gay depends on what you practice. i'd practice IP or computer law. it's not like i'm gonna pivot into becoming a new york entertainment lawyer or something lol.
>>109364339>retard thinks you need a degree to learn shitlmao, anon, this is tech we are talking about. if you like it, you CAN learn by yourself easily.oh, I forgot, I'm talking mostly to people who don't like tech and entered the field for the money....
>>109361426i have a nes hooked up to a crt display right next to my work station. been playing adventure island 3, dr mario, and some mario bros 3 hacks lately. been playing double dragon 2 with my son after work, it's great
>>109364474kek i gave him a chance at least>>109364495nice..did you take speed beforehand? or get the adhd exemption, whats your IQ? biglawl sounds like youll be around too many jews and browns and women and brown jewish "women" but the moneys right
>>109364545>nice..did you take speed beforehand? or get the adhd exemptionhow'd you guess lol. i actually have ADHD though i was diagnosed as a kid (supposedly...). i tried taking it the honest way a couple times, but the test is curved, and many people (especially immigrants and international students in china) were cheating the system through disability accommodations or by literally cheating on the test remotely using paid services out of china. so the more people that cheat and grift, the lower my score gets.i don't know my iq, i think iq is kinda retarded honestly and i prefer using standardized testing and my grades as a metric.>biglawl sounds like youll be around too many jews and browns and women and brown jewish "women" but the moneys rightyou're right about the first but not the second and third. there's definitely hr slop but it's closer to working on wall street than it is to working in FAANG.realistically most people don't survive longer than 5 years in biglaw, you get asked to leave after a few years just because they want to be constantly cycling in new guys. but in those 2-3 years you make a million dollars and it pays off your debt so you can go work somewhere you actually enjoy.it's basically indentured servitude and the prize is you get to make 250k+ for the rest of your life. and unlike many sectors you can build equity through stuff like partner tracks.
>>109364495Pretty good. Below median for Yale/Stanford/etc. but not far below. You could probably get lucky with at least one of the top schools since you’re pairing it with a 4.0 in a degree that isn’t polisci
>>109364603I mean you would think but I applied last cycle and the best I got was a waitlist at Georgetown. I probably could've went if I bothered to reply to their emails but after the 2nd or 3rd feeler it was already late June and I stopped responding.Schools do not want to admit students fresh out of undergrad these days. Also, DEI, although illegal, is still enforced at top schools. So I'm kinda fighting an uphill battle here, being out of market, middle class, non-URM, with limited full time work experience. I have internships over summers but that's it.Hoping if I work for 2 years I can grift it into something meaningful even if I do work at a really basic ass system integrator in the midwest.
>>109364582topkek, because i took the lsat and had adhd as a kid, but didnt get the exemption. it wouldve helped my score a lot but i have severe borderline so no one wouldve hired me anyway. glad i didnt attempt joining the normgroid race i'd just have had a stressful melty after my identity inevitbly shifts in 2-3 years and been pissed i wasted so much effort. im built for smoking weed, anime, and destruction. you have a good plan in biglawl, sounds like it could be satisfying in a lot of ways
>>109364217Not who you are quoting, but for me, I basically already had 100 credits in a Comp Sci program but was a serial drop out that got a non it technician job at an engineering company. I just consistently did 10x more than my role required, working software development into my role until they had me working with the actual dev teams half time. For them, they had a jr dev making a technician salary ($20/hr). I then straight up quit during the crypto boom and lived off bitcoin for 10 months until they called me back and offered me an actual SWE role at $80k starting right as everything was crashing.
>>109364749>they abused you, then totally made up for itbasedwhats a non it technician job? are those better than it technician jobs?
>>109364830I did field data collection, survey type work. Typically a technician in that role just collects the data, they don't worry about what happens to it after it's collected.It's funny though because I'm the only guy on the software side that knows how the sauce is made on the other side. Has been useful more times than I can count.
>trying get a job for 5mo now>apply everywhere>get 305 interviews each week>never go to next round>reject by hr 17 times already>my application to interview rate is 6%>find a guy saying in reddit he found a job in a month by applying 20 times a day>his application to interview rate was 4%>he got 13 interviews with hr but proceeded to next round in 6 of them>this is a 50% pass rate compared to mine which has been 0%>talking to him>learn he is blackIsnt a bit weird that 2 people have a similar application to interview rate but after the round with mandatory video where the cunts can see your phenotype the experience can change so much? Also this guy told me to work on social skills bro. Everytime you say you cannot find a job, here and there people you say that it is your social skills.
>>109356433Brazil is great for me because I'm a hikikomori. High-quality meat and food are really cheap here. Also rent and housing are cheap as hell. I'm barely 35 and already about to buy my third house sometimes it feels like I'm cheating at life.The downside: if you're a normalfag who likes going out, there's roughly a 1% chance you'll get stabbed by someone trying to steal your phone. People here can be brutal and getting robbed often ends with you getting badly hurt or killed, not just pickpocketed. It's not petty theft you have to worry about, it's people willing to seriously harm you because of $100 bucks.Electronics and similar goods also cost about 70% more than in the US, because imports get taxed at up to 100%. So my $200 anime figs ends up costing $400, half of it goes straight to the government.Surprisingly enough the actual taxes I pay to the government from my full-time WFH job are only around 10% year so that's also not too bad
>>109365311Honestly. Don't think too much about it. Getting a job is 99% about luck if you don't have connections.Also we're in the worst job market ever, I was getting job offers daily during the height of the pandemic and now it's 100 applications per interview.
>voice concerns multiple times that what i'm working on is shit, it will confuse users and reflect badly on us, it's gonna be a bitch to maintain, it's based on previous shitty work that was half baked and i'm inheriting the mess and i'm the one who has to actually bring it to the users>i hate working on it but now i've sunk too much time into it to push back again>makes me dread working at all, procrastinate>it's gonna reflect bad on me because i should have just refused to work on it, now i'm responsible for it
>>109363145Will you then finally fuck off with your cringe?
>>109363752You apply.
>>109364470If I were set on that path, I'd cozy up to a local shop and get to know their problems before doing anything. Then as part of the cozying I would propose an idea and sell my skillset. For example helping set up POSS. And maybe I'd do a little bit for free. Then propose more, and ask to be paid.While doing this I might go to multiple other local shops and point to another local shop and say I'm already doing it for them. Stretching the truth. Maybe one would bite. That's how I got my current job, I was a "hot candidate" because my agent told my employer I was interviewing for other positions (completely true but they were shitter jobs).You don't have to take it from me. Take it from another person with my mindset, a very public and successful figure that talks about grassroots-level building goinf from zero to established... Gordon Ramsey.This faggot >>109364474 thinks everyone here is a retard like him but he is incorrect. I was just suggesting an alternative mindset but people like him think in terms of black and white and constantly get burned for doing so.
>>109361168>manager decides to "praise me"I am baffled this is a thing. Nigga we are not 6yo, if you want to show appreciation of my work, pay me more.

>>109364582>and many people (especially immigrants and international students in china) were cheating the system through disability accommodations or by literally cheating on the test remotely using paid services out of chinaits so great everything is like this. third worlders pillaging anything they can get their hands on, exploiting it, or defrauding it. lots of positions of responsibility in the future are going to be occupied by brown people who have zero integrity and honesty.cant wait to see more bridge collapses and buildings falling apart because we decided to mass import the third world to save boomer pensions.
>>109366483it's funny because I thought I would feel better after my promotion and raise (10kish more) but honestly..... I just ended up spending more due to work stress on dumber shit. Now I honestly would rather get fired so I can pull all my money from my company savings to pay some bills and go for a trip. Everything also increased in price significantly so it's like... alright thanks?
tech WORKERS general? >>109364653 >>109365311>>109367308people can't find a job with a degree, and you think you are better than people with no degrees because you followed an academic path and thought it would land you a job with 100% certainty (and probably remote, and with a >$100k salary). how can't you see how delusional you are? kek
>>109364217i'm a current student and the interview process went very well
I told my aunt I probably will be moving to california to work at a big company and she started freaking out about cost of living and libtards and carjackings and talking like san francisco was iraqI'm really tired of the chuds, both on the zoomer and boomer side
I feel bad for you tech bros working in actual tech departments. I'm the only tech worker in my office and I'd much rather deal with idealistic fresh out of college cuties and milfs going thru menopause than beta bitch redditors and pajeets.
i hope i get run over by a car
>>109368506You won't actually reincarnate in a fantasy world, anon. That's just a stupid cartoon thing.
>>109368669good
Why don't these fuckers just expect more from people instead of firing them? Like I can completely understand expecting x2 of without AI assistance me but they just keep axing people. It feels like shit trying to ping someone you were talking with yesterday and their account is suddenly archived and nobody in their team can follow because they didn't have the time to handover shit or all your coworker talk about is when will it be their turn
>>109360561Even a misdemeanor DUI years earlier, you'd be surprised how much it changes people's trust in you. People who've never gotten into any trouble will assume you're a total scumbag. Unfortunately, that's a lot of people, especially in office environments. You don't need everyone to think you're scum for it to inhibit your career, you just need like one or two key people at a company to. But a felony is next level. Even if it was for drugs, a majority of people will find that off-putting and not want to be around you.>>109361175It means have an email exchange with your boss for any meaningful decisions that would fall outside your responsibilities, and save anything extra you've accomplished or added to the project for meetings where your boss's boss will hear you say it, ensuring you get credit for it.I've had this situation before where my boss is underqualified and basically takes credit for whatever I get done. Blame rolls downhill too. Hence subtly getting major decisions in writing by emailing them.
>>109369249Like I said: people wonder why anyone with a record winds up desperate enough to reoffend. What a trash system designed specifically to generate profit for private prisons.
>>109369494Kill yourself evil bastard, the old system was cutting off the heads of reoffenders and we should go back to it. It's not the world's job to suck your dick for being a criminal
How can we purge these threads of normies (that includes utwg)? Basically we have slow utwg and utwg mixed with barely tech blogging.I'm sorry for normies who bought into tech meme, but what did you expect? For past 5-10 years tech has been almost like janitors buying stocks. If everyone is doing something then it's a scam or about to collapse. You clearly no capability to get a skill based job, if you thought it's any different from law, med, architecture or real engineering.
>>109369515NTA. You fucking moron. It should be in your interest so that those people are rehabilitated and back to being a productive member of society but you're too stupid to understand this.
Looking for a sanity check, hopefully this is the right place. I'll keep it short.I work for a small, federally-regulated company in an IT role. Since it's small, IT means everything, plus some non-tech projects as needed. And since it's regulated, there's a lot of compliance to everything I do and touch.I've been at this company for about 15 years now, total comp is $200k. We formally have a 50 hour work week, but it's typically 55-60 for me (onsite only). The hours are starting to feel long, and I've run out of mobility in either title or salary.How reasonable is it to find another position that either pays similarly with fewer hours (I'd love 4/10 or 9/80), or pays more with similar hours? I'm in the American northeast.
>>109369743Opinions are irrelevant, either higher a placement agent that will find a position for your or start applying yourself.Be prepared to pay 5-10k to the agent but he will find you the job you want with the hours you want.
>indian uses white thumbs up emoji in slack
>>109369895>Opinions are irrelevantI haven't interviewed in over a decade, so I'm mostly interested in what the current job market looks like relative to my salary level. It's difficult to tell if I'm overpaid, underpaid, or about average by job postings alone, so any anecdotal feedback ITT is valuable.
we need a new bread>>109369743I'm not american, and also don't know much about IT, but here's my opinion:>total comp is $200k>50 hour work week, but it's typically 55-60 for me (onsite only)>find another position that either pays similarly with fewer hours (I'd love 4/10 or 9/80)I doubt you'll be able to find something similar...can you lower your living standards? if so, how about asking your employer to halve your working hours for half the pay?also, does your company offer severance to the employees it lays off? the future of the whole industry looks grim IMO, so maybe you could endure your working conditions a bit more while preparing to get a lower pay or maybe even be laid off.
