Returning from the weekend, back to having a case of the mondays editionPREVIOUS: >>109491474
>>109513098work tomorrow
>>109513098ywnbaw
>jr dev>got in the company about a year and a half ago>first job>have to manage a track for a feature that integrates data from another team>elaborated plan first week of last month>get done with it by Monday last week>turns out I didn't take in consideration flow through mobile, meaning the track is unfinished >mobile flow is just niggerrigged ductape and we never really got the documentation for mobile until 2 weeks after developing the rfc document>have to elaborate a plan, coordinate with coworkers an ETA, and communicate to the other team that there was a slip from my end by not taking in consideration mobile flow.>while the other team breathes down our neckWanna kms. Through this whole week my PL also kept mentioning he was worried I wasn't taking accountability for my fuck ups.
Why does leetcode filter out xillennial "software engineers" so hard? It's a strong hiring signal. You expect to get paid $200k a year but you can't use your head to build a graph? lmao
>>109513383Xillenials are almost 50 now. Nobody is asking swe’s with 20+ yoe to solve jeetcode problems.
>>109513034On a launch call, at least that gives me an excuse to wfh tomorrow
>>109513365Consider transitioning to show accountability
>>109513414At what level do you escape the jeetcode problems in interviews? Principal? Higher?
>>109513070>read your post after creating this messI will now try to do it using bottom up dp
>>109513663How does that work
>>109513772That sounds like a dumb game
>>109513070>>109513772man this shit always makes me feel like a retard, it's so simple when I read the editorial and have it explained to me but I can never come up with the intuition myself.
>open website>click search bar>pop up changes cursor placement>click back in search bar>broken AI app changes the layout of everything and removes cursor placement again>click back in search bar>browser pop up to tell me about some feature I'll never use>click back in search bar>type word>pop up to tell me it's saving this search as my log in info to this site>click back in search bar>finish typing words>10 page essay slop about fucking bullshit before the info I wantEveryone deserves to lose their job honestly, AI can't possibly do worse than this. And if it does I'll just vibe code an rss feed type thing so that I never have to deal with this shit again
>bought bitcoin from 2013 to 2016 while in college>Sold may 2021>put profits + sysadmin salary into VFV.TO>sold in September 2024>bought a house>get laid off from my sysadmin job 2 weeks ago>monthly expenditures are on average $1600 CAD a month>still have 65k in VFVI'm strongly considering spending the rest of my life working part time help desk jobs and Skip/Uber eatsMy parents think I'm retarded because I'm only 31 but I hate the 9-5 grind
>checked my calendar>2 interviews tomorrowi thought they were on tuesday
Are these threads seriously filled with nothing but Indians and SEA now?
>>109514345>>109514345>>109514345
>>109514309What made you come to that conclusion
Alright its been almost 2 yrs now after graduating with an Associate's in Information Tech, and I still don't have a job in that field.Anyone here having any luck after Trade School?
>>109514381They have jobs and I don't, and only indians and sea get jobs today
>>109514381>>109514467post your hand
>>109514468No, homo freak. I know you masturbate to your hand collection
>>109514485post cock, then
why the fuck would you name your db cockroachDB?
>>109513383unemployed should be number 1 followed by those 2no way someone is doing leetcode that is employed and actually doing work
my team is now treating me like an AIasking retarded questions with little to no context and expecting an answer, when its their job to come up with said answeri should've trained to be a plumber
>>109513383Reminds me of the time I convinced my team lead that we don‘t need junior devs anymore due to AI. Just keep grinding Jeetcode saar, you won‘t get a job interview regardless due to lack of experience ;)
i feel like i bombed my sysadmin technical interview.they were asking for quite a bit of stuff that usually i see separated in different teams (network, storage, OS, monitoring, virtualization)i feel like not many people are proficient in all of these, but then again the pay range was a bit higher than most of the others i've seen in the same field so maybe i'm wrong and they wanted a do-it-all senior.back to sending CVs i guess
Back on the job, no more nagging wife!
I am a systems engineer used to doing normal level 1-3 shit but all the work I have is BA (business analyst).Discovery, write report, no idea what they want captured and fumbling my workday.I just want to stick my dick in servers. I'd rather be spending my days in CAB even.
Who the fuck made today Monday?Come here. Little gobshite. I'm going to give you a real whopping!
>>109514104it is just a memorization grind after you learn the main categoriesimagine yourself as the swarthiest izzat harvester that ever existed when you do these and stop thinking that you need abstract thinking
so we are 8 month into this AI thing you guys think manual programming is dead? Is AI going to do it all?
>>109516158Nope, from what I see the industry is going to adopt an AIDLC aka "ai assisted development lifecycle."There are still plenty of manual components to it, especially on greenfield projects. You'll need to thoroughly define patterns and architecture so that you can then draw up all the correct steering for the agents.
>>109515802Sorry to hear that, but at least you know what to improve. What did they ask you if you don't mind me asking?
>>109516352Proxmox, VMware, OLVMUnix/windows, active directory, hardening, patching, runbooks, creating a golden isoUnity, iSCSI, NFS, multipath, zoningzabbixDHCP, DNSto be fair, it was kind of a long shot, but the pay range was pretty inviting, doesn't cost me anything to try
>had to exit warframe, get dressed in business formal, do my hair, and get to office in 20 minutes because my boss wanted to have an impromptu meetingGrrrrrr i was in stage 3 out of 5 of my bounty
>"do you have any questions?" >no
today is a TAKING IT EASY monday
>>109516542I was getting lunch three weeks ago and my manager pulled something similar.>"Anon who gets lunch at 10:30?">My calendar was clear and I skipped breakfast so I was just really hungry today okay?>"Well you should try to keep lunch somewhere between 11:30 and 1 in case the team suddenly needs you."And I'm just thinking "fuck you man" on repeat.
>>109516494Errr, I would probably fail this. I have no idea about Unity, multipath and zoning. Not that into storage shit.
>>109516667>"Anon who gets lunch at 10:30?"I mean he kind of has a point but you should've just called it something else and he wouldn't have complainedA late breakfast, or brunch if you will
>>109516494are you sure they weren't trying to get you to do a bunch of stuff for free for them?
what do you guys do when you have 0 (zero) motivation to do your work?>>109516598if this is about job interviews, you SHOULD ask questions, just to show some interest
>>109513098I have had no motivation at work recently, and found that I have gained motivation by grinding to pay off my private student loans. A few short months ago I owed like 19k and im down to 7. At my current payoff rate I'll be fully debt free by mid november if not slightly quicker. once that happens have a feeling all motivation at work will disappear again but by then I'll just look for a new job
>>109517079my best guess is that they're building a team that can handle all of that, and the most of those you have, the more redundancy they can have instead of hiring 1 guy for each area and then being in deep shit if he's sick or something
>>109514240if you are having kids or looking for a woman, I would say get a jobunless you have many meaningful hobbies to keep yourself busy 16 hours a day for the next 30+ years65k cad is not that much. A comfy 3 week vacation to Asia is 4k - 5khouse repairs are random bursts of a 100s to 1000sanyway, most of us here hate 9 to 5. I could live 10 years off my savings (thanks vfv) but my job is easy money. I'm waiting for a layoff to take a nice long break
>>109517160It amazes me people have student loans. Somehow my single mother got 3 kids bachelors degrees? We all worked part time jobs through highschool and uni. Tuition was ~7.5k per year
>>109516890I was hangry :(
"meeting is finished early, so I guess we'll give everyone their time back"wtf does this mean? we all get a 40 minute break since we're done 40imutes early??
>>109517294it means they know they are wasting your time, but they will do it anyway because they "need" to.
>>1095098927yoe is a zoomer anon. Welcome to being one of the boomers lmao.
>>109517301can you answer my last question? I still don't know what I'm supposed to do there.
>>109517369you aren't being paid for breaks... "your time" = your scheduled time for work
>I would rather break my back in the sun doing something usefulalmost certainly doesn't exist as a job unless you are working on property that belongs to you or family.breaking your back doing landscaping for boomer Robert who is an asshole?fixing the plumbing only for some new immigrants to flush their underwear down the toilet again?I hate the idea of working and building a country that's invaded by sub 90 iq untermenschAt least we don't have a military draft. Imagine dying for this.
>get told all system design interviews are the same>"you just need to know about redis and postgres bro">interviewer hits me with the "how would you design a group conference call application like zoom"
>>109517404I love reading all the bellyaching about tech working conditions. None of these guys would last a single 8 hour day outside. You would literally pass out before lunch. Your body would be so sore and tired that you'd be unable to walk for the rest of the week.The audacity you people have for thinking eight hours behind a keyboard is somehow hard. And half of you are wfh. Come the fuck on.
>>109517193my local in state college that was basically the cheapest accredited option was like 20k a year. left with ~20k in federal loans and 20k in private loans.
>>109517576did one single day of work for a family member pouring concrete foundations. It was like 10ish hours and I was completely fucked the rest of the week lmao. I will never complain about conditions I will however complain about retarded coworkers or being unhappy with my assigned work but I know it's infinitely better and easier than working 10+ hours a day in the sun hauling heavy shit
>>109517294>you must be at least 18 years old to post hereBut it means you get back to work.
>>109517602Btw it's fine to want to bitch about coworkers or bosses or tasks. That's just part of working and I won't take that away from people.My line in the sand is when tech bros start saying "yeah fuck this ai shit I'm going to go learn a trade" as if reviewing markdown files is as hard as laying out HVAC systems for an office building or replacing broken sewer lines.
>>109517663oh yeah hearing 300 pound retards say that is always very funny. Everyone else in my family does trades and I do not envy them or want to join them at all in the slightest
>>109515819jc, how horrifying
hauling weight around is one thing, but whenever I observe tradies, I see they are inhaling terrible fumes>asphalt>masonry/concrete dust>plastics, rubbers, staining, and epoxies>fine metal particles from welding>rust and shit from being mechanicsthat would terrorize me. Being at home or in an office is greatI don't even like the gym because the treadmills spray rubber and plastic in the air and you can smell it.
So the company I interviewed for finally got back to me. They haven't filled the role and will not for at least six months due to what I guess is budgeting. But the person I interviewed with expressed sympathy in his email and gave me some advice on projects that I can work on in the meantime and said that he'd hold onto my resume. Anything like this happen to anyone?
>>109518221Are you getting pitied lmao
>>109518221this happened to me with the same company twice a few years apart. Did like 2 or 3 interviews got good feedback and the person communicating with me was super nice. In the end both got "canceled" due to budgeting or hiring freezes and told me they'd reach out if the positions opened up. Never got anything again from them lol.
claude bills don't pay themselves you know
>>109517193i'm surprised you paid a cent. when you're broke university is 100% free. there's even programs that pay single mothers to attend university on top of covering their tuition.
>>109518521do the claudful saar
>>109518532>saarupload a vocaroo of this. What does it sound like
>>109518544https://vocaroo.com/1bK8nNjuXFZM
>>109518531Germany?>>109518569lel those tongue rolls are disgusting. Lebanese fags do that too
Claude my balls lmao
>>109518596
>gov started the background investigation process for my sf86 >theyre actually going and contacting all my previous employershumiliation ritual
>>109517538uhhhh just wire up a few websockets and a couple of tables, simple as
>>109518615Ironic that if you made a realistic drawing of him you would be immediately labeled as an anti-semite
>>109518068What about constantly kneeling, crawling, etc? The dust fucks up your lungs, the hauling fucks up your spine and the crawling will fuck up your knees. The greatest joke humanity pulled was convincing millions of tradies to sacrifice their health for an essential job that pays peanuts.
god i hate mondays
>Look at a company's career page>Literally everything software related is in some place called NanakramgudaI can't pronounce that shit. I can't find it on a map. I certainly don't want to go there (assuming).
>>109513383Coding interviews approximate IQ tests, which the civil rights act made illegal.If you're maintaining systems that have to actually work you need to administer IQ tests. The civil rights act made IQ tests illegal, so you have to come up with something else. The Bar exam/USMLE/COMLEX function the same but kind of worse because the State can fiddle with them/make demands of them.You'll notice that approximating an IQ test is almost always probably illegal. In America you have to hire the best lawyers alive to defend your ability to hire intelligent people. Retaining this ability is a privilege afforded to only highly productive industries that need to pump stock values.
>2 YoE>FAANG >Mostly worked on other teams' systems, like doing projects where you need changes on a gorillion microservices that we don't own>onboarding new shit to existing systems but occasionally introduce a new feature because we are the first team that needed it >Most PRs are simple config updates or -50 liners, only 20-30% have 300+ lines business logic and implementation changes >haven't had the chance to build a new service or even an API from scratch>don't work with senior engineers, I scope my projects' changes alone and make task breakdowns and possible approaches and then review it with the services owners. Usually 99% of the shit I have on the design document is enough and I just get minor questions >Can't really code manually anymore except in a few languages and I still occasionally lookup their syntax. But don't have issues in just reading and tracing code in most common languages.>Don't know shit about system design >Struggle with leetcode mediums >Manger, PMs and my teammates think I'm good but I secretly feel retarded For reasons I don't want to specifiy, I need to leave the company for another FAANG shit or change teams but I don't want to get cooked alive in interviews. Realistically speaking can I make into mid level interviews with my current knowledge or should I stick to juniorfagging? Can I even make it into junior interviews at my current state or should I take more time for interview prep before I start applying?
