>>109758155is anyone here working as a research fag? in what field? what is it like? what is the pay like?I think that type of career seems much more interesting to me than the typical tech wagie day job, however there seems to be a general negative attitude towards academia in the IT world
>>109758155Is this AI? How does the sweater lady get out?
>>109758496Why do research in academia making shit money when you could do research in a T1 company making shit loads of money?
>>109758523ok but how does one get a position there? i assume youd need a phd and plenty of research experience youd get from academia no?could be completely wrong though
>>109758496PhD comp bio. The academic market is so shit that I couldn't even get a postdoc after >300 applications (basically every single lab in my specialization in the world) despite having young prof-tier stats. I was even told by a prof with 15 years as a prof and fewer citations than me that I should give up on a postdoc because I didn't have enough citations (he had 1/500th my citations at the time he got his first postdoc).Academic pay outside switzerland is total garbage, not enough to survive in the vast majority of the world. It is widely regarded, including semi-openly by profs, as a form of slavery. Some countries like in the nordics have livable, though barely, wages for this though, so it's all good.Industry research jobs in comp bio are nearly non-existent. The few that exist have wide ranging pay grades depending on if the org sees comp bio as a cost center (you don't want to work there anyway, you'll be clicking a button all day and that's about it, just working as a pipeline monkey - but you can't work there even if you want to because they want bio exp and put 0 value on compute exp, which is why everything is broken and nothing is reproducible in the field), or a value driver. The jobs are hyper competitive because they're so few, and not stable employment.That said, if you do luck out and go to a real serious biotech that has actual bio that you can interact with while you work on the comp, and real comp where you build new algos, it's amazing. Everything I've ever wanted. Impactful work that actually gets to patients, extremely interesting discoveries, huge breakthrough potential, work on real algos and not saas bullshit, intellectually stimulating. You typically don't make bank, but it CAN happen. 0 potential to make your own startup though, too high upfront costs and VCs expect that you have bio proof first (comp proof is ignored) before they give you a dime. Career wise pretty limited advancement potential.
New team uses a bunch of different avatars.Not inappropriate to use a picture of lego power ranger (lord zedd) from fortnite as a display picture is it?lMaO im soooo r@ndum!!!! xDDD
>24>only making 200k a yearAlexander won his first battle at 16my life is over.
look mom (male), I posted it again!
>>109758567thank you for the insights dr anon. Sounds bleak but>Everything I've ever wanted. Impactful work that actually gets to patients, extremely interesting discoveries, huge breakthrough potential, work on real algos and not saas bullshit, intellectually stimulatingis exactly what i am looking for in my life, its the reason i chose this field, not vibecoding saas in reactjs. I wonder if i should have went to med school
>>109758496I'm in a bioinformatics role in industry (have to do a few other bits and pieces of non-research software engineering alongside it though). There is opportunity to earn a decent salary, probably even better of I moved company but I cba and I'm comfortable enough atm anyway.Lots of fun research tasks, opportunity to use ML etc. Way more fun than pure software engineering.
Working on hiring some folks and I'm doing the initial screens and there's several solid candidates, cool just send them to next round. However it mortifies me knowing at the end of all this, even though they're all capable of doing the job, I can only pick 1 of them. Having to stack rank candidates and offering only the best; it really hurts to have to reject the others. I'm going to plan to draft a personal note for the recruiter to send something like "you're really talented you'll surely find success"
>claude in a single evening did what I couldn't do for weeksI have spent several years in this field and turns out I was always worthless
>>109759151what were you stuck on anon?
>>109759134That shit is even worse than a blanket rejection.
I'm starting my first job next week. No internships or anything like that before. What should I look out for?
>>109759151Just do 10x as much stuffAI just turns the tables - autists who are obsessives over cult behaviour like clean code etc and make that their whole personality lose out to ideas guys who are more soulful
>>109758755It's true. 3% of US individuals earn at least 200k a year. The great men of history were 1 in millions, 100s of millions, and billions.I am not even 1/50.
>>109759151>caved and bought ChatGPT plus subscription>realize it can code anything I code but fasterIs this seriously what the future is just gonna be?I guess this is "engineering" now
>>109759386>/twg/>his workplace didn't already come with an LLM max subthey are ngmi
>>109759391I meant for personal projectsmy work gave us subs like a year ago and now our code is slop nobody understandsit was mostly slop made by jeets before though so nobody really notices the difference
>>109759386On my physics course we did a practical which was to work with a very simple computer, programme it in machine code to do numerical operations etc. Then at the end wrote a simple compiler to make the process 10x faster. The lab instructors told us how in the earpy days some people were reluctant to just 'trust the compiler' and thought machine code was all anyone would ever need. The memory has stuck with me and made me very receptive to AI. Just roll with it. There is now massive opportunity cost/liability in *not* using AI
>>109759386its not just engineering, anything intellectual really. ChatGPT just solved navier stokes.
>>109759151IME these things don't program better but they don't need motivation which has always been my issue. It's kind of nice, I get kind of bored/depress, let them carry me through it, then clean up the code so it's not awful.You just can't let them run away from you or they will turn your codebase into worthless slop.
>>109759242The people you want to emulate got there by focusing on what they were doing rather than comparing themselves to eachother.
>>109759231i've coached a couple of greenhorns before.#1 thing is giving an air of interest. this means VISIBLY taking notes of what the other guy is telling you about, asking questions.#1 bis is to be polite and professional. show up on time, don't be rude or crass.get to know the team/people, who does what and what kind of attitude to adopt with each.if you meet rude people, be a fucking wall of extra professionalism and politeness. it's hard but it's the only way to win with these people.learn how to work in an office environment. how to read/write email, how to organize your files/notes/mails.
>>109759468>if you have skills and don't have a learning disability, you are badSays a lot about you, kid. Glad I'll never work with you.
>>109759454>there are people who unironically believe thislmaoand where can I get a small loan of a million dollars to focus on what I am doing exactly?
>>109759475>>if you have skills and don't have a learning disability, you are badNTA but unironically yes unless it's a very small company. If you can do things you're dangerous, unpredictable, and a potential problem for status quo.
>>109759475wut?
>>109759486>where can I get a small loanSorry, I thought you wanted to be Alexander the Great and not just another cog in the machine.
>>109759488That is the practice of it, yes, but clearly not what retardo had in mind.
>>109759504Alexander the Great got a small loan of a million dollars to get started.
Good news anons, a recruiter answered! To let me know he was rejecting my application.
>>109759536Congrats! Making good progress!
>>109759557I'm just miffed at the lack of basic politeness nowadays.
>>109759562That's why I'm congratulating you, they gave you the most basic courtesy, so you must have given them a very positive impression.
>>109759606>Come inside, I've got a tip for you you right here.
>>109759606>welcome mat on the inside with text oriented toward people leaving
>>109759521Regardless his advice was correct. You want to fit in, and behave, make everyone else feel important, and most importantly convince them that they need you because you understand things and turn complex problems into solutions.
>>109759634>You're welcome to leaveBased.
>>109759522Saying that is actually unfair to Trump and severely diminishes Alexander's advantage. Alexander did not get a small loan, he inherited the entire business venture that was on the verge of large IPO regardless of who was going to lead it
>>109759634That's a welme mat
>>109759654wtf? Did they really have a diffusion model generate the background and then composite the cartoon girl ontop? Even the fake things are extra fake now.
>>109759386Software engineering is deadWe are becoming architects/product owners/project managers nowMy company is doing that whole transition plan, now engineering teams become fully integrated builders with PO/PM responsibilities
>>109759609This was just for my application, I did not get an interview. Thats how low the bar is nowadays.
>>109759715PMs were always crap at their jobs and given way more discretion than they should have. This will be a massive improvement.
I am so tired of the startup culture. I want a comfy corpo job where I do useless work that nobody cares about but still get paid
>>109759715My company has been aggressively cutting down on dev and qa roles this year. I learned that one of the corporate objectives is to pair down all engineering teams to 2 devs and 1 qa. Yeah, all teams. No exceptions.
>>109759715Last time I asked to become architect I got told I'm "too young" and you "don't need to be competent technicaly to be an architect"
>>109759778Haven't existed since 2024 as all those dumb corpos got hard sold on ai and have spent '25 and '26 aggressively adopting it.
>>109759778>where I do useless work that nobody cares aboutDid you get that approved by infosec and the core architecture team? Oh, you didn't put the Jira ticket in the right state so it's not even in the queue? We've only got three months to ship these config file changes man, you know it takes them weeks to sign off on anything. You can't go dropping the ball like that.
>>109759778The one corpo job I had was 10+h a day constant churn with 0 productivity but endless actual work. We were not allowed to eat anywhere but at our desk and we had an effective 5 minutes window to get food for lunch. On top of that, the amount of politics was insane. Even the average CEO of a mid-sized company has never seen what the lowest rungs deal with daily in there.It's why I've been back in startups-only ever since. Pay wasn't worth it.
>>109759778Trust me you don't I want o go back to a small comfy company where I know everyone by name.
>>109758155Friendly reminder to move to Japan
>>109759895It's pretty incredible how stressful doing nothing can be. I moved to a small company after years at big corpos and I'm so relaxed despite the insane deadlines and never ending queue of wild technical problems.
>>109759924It is because in a large corpo you have no power.
>>109759940I think that actually is the issue as corny as it sounds. There's a minimum amount of autonomy you absolutely have to have in order to be able to actually get work done and they take that away because they're afraid of what you'll do with it.
>>109759940And no impact, no real way to advance in the career ladder without moving to something else, and nothing you do will ever have a positive impact on yourself or anyone else.>>109759924The problem for me was that if you're going to do nothing anyway, I should at least not have to do make-work and ceremonies and all that crap. Refactoring crap for 10 hours one day to do the same backward the next day and on and on for months is disgusting.
>>109759837I've taken to clandestine minor feature improvements, bypassing JIRA. Need to find someone who won't scan the PR too deeply though
>>109759911"I hate my family and culture" - the post
do you guys have long commutes? Thoughts about driving 125 miles a day? Trying to decide if its worth renting or just driving there its hardware work so no remote.
>>109760021I commute 2m from my bedroom to my office next door. Truly gruelling
>>109759134a sane system would be sending those applications to other departments or companies so they get hired there. Would cut prescreening time. Idk if thats done in the US my regional board does it.
>>109759997Liking Asian culture is the closest idea to liking Western culture most normal people are allowed to express.
>>109760021>Thoughts about driving 125 miles a day?You're on the frontier of what's temporally possible without self driving. This will psychologically break you sooner than later. I would look for any alternative situation immediately.
>>109758515They all look the same cause AI only trained on the same two models.
>>109760035In Europe, it's normal and expected that you love your local country's culture (except if you're g*rman but can you blame them? They're cockroaches)
>>109760048>This will psychologically break you sooner than laterbut why? Road rage or some other reason? Google says its 1h commute 1h30 normal if there is a jam.
>>109759895>>109759924>>109759940eh, might be a personal thing. i've been used to just following behind project leads while, frankly, creating pretty much nothing new and just do my best to make sure everything keeps running smoothly on an already-existing infrastructure and i like it.i'm doing interviews right now and i'm also considering very small companies but frankly i would be lying if i said i'm not apprehensive about taking responsibility about innovation and growth.maybe it's different for people writing code tho. i'm more of an support/infrastructure guy
>>109760098Depends from person to person I guess, I get demotivated if I feel like my work doesn't matter.
>>109760088not him, but>you arrive at work already somewhat tired>no time to do shit at home, be it hobbies, groceries, family, whatever>long road means waking up early which means less sleep in general>probability of car accidents goes up because it's more road>which means you'll probably arrive late at either work or home, which is pretty anger-inducing (i'm a calm guy but this got to me a couple of times)>fuel consumption/car wear and teari've been doing long commutes (40m-90m depending on job) for several years before covid and frankly for me it was the worst part, and not the job itself.thank god for the coffi would only consider a commute that long only temporarily and for a very good salary you couldn't get otherwise closer to home
>>109760021I had a 40 minute commute each way out of college and I mostly hated it. Wasn't highway either.
>>10976002145 minutes commute is about my comfort limit. I feel significantly worse when it's longer than that, like a cliff. But under 15 minutes feels quite nice, and of course my preference is my current commute (none at all).
>>109759151>claude in a single evening did what I couldn't do for weeksGood. The only thing AI is good for is getting rid of you dumb faggots that just memorize shit and spend no time actually learning how shit works. Keeps the rest of us employed, because we find the faults in the AI results you have sent to the review board.
>>109759414>The lab instructors told us how in the earpy days some people were reluctant to just 'trust the compiler' and thought machine code was all anyone would ever need.Because you can't trust the 'compiler' retard. Anyone that's worked with C knows this.
>>109760256This.>>109759414Furthermore, in the early days, the compilers were not only untrustworthy (bad outputs), but also very very buggy in some instances.
What am I supposed to put on my LinkedIn for activities? I have 0 activities. Also I have no group activities outside.
I take my A+ Core 1 test in 8 hours.I got maybe 2 hours of sleep last night.Every practice test I take, I always end up scoring at least an 85%, so I don't know why I'm so worried. (I'm using the exam prepia app)The sleep thing could have also been that two nights previous I pulled an all-nighter to try and fix my schedule, staying up around 33 hours straight, and even driving halfway across town both ways near the end of it without dying. I'll sometimes call myself a functional alcoholic for sleep deprivation, but I don't know how well that actually holds up for anything that requires memorization or focus.Any last words of encouragement or advice?I take the Core 2 test tomorrow. I studied for them both together.I had the cert about eight years ago, when I was a much more lax student, not paying for my own classes, and generally not caring about my future.Now I'm 27, sharing a workspace with other highschool dropouts, and kind of slowly panicking about it.I'm going to drink way too much coffee, eat a high protein breakfast with some fruit to hopefully give myself the energy I need to not completely check out.
>>109760368it's a useless cert. at least with an FOA you can contact out of your van.
When I'm a decrepit ancient 35 year old withering fart I'm going to tell my kids the story of the 8 round interview process of '26
>>109760395My job gives me a dollar an hour raise for four different certs, and covers the cost of the voucher.Plus, I don't have a degree, so if I'm ever hoping to move up, I'll need them to supplement my experience.
Does anyone else here have a work mom? Like an older lady in that takes good care of them like a mother?
I can't get a jobShould I just kill myself?Will that make the HR cunts happy?
>>109760859lighten your mind, young one. You are too attached to the material world. desire is the root of suffering.Instead of "I can't get a job", change your perspective. Jobs can't get you.
>>109760900Kill yourself, nigger.
>>109760256The time save is worth it. Even in the early days it was likely pareto-optimal, but programming autists wouldn't understand such a concept
>>109760942At the time, it wasn't even remotely worth it. Compiling was a very slow process on top of the aforementioned issues with correctness and speed. There was very little debug assistance/useful errors/tooling to help figure out why the compiler fucked up as well. You have no clue.
>>109760494No but I'm the work autist.
>>109760979Even without perfection the direction of travel should have been abundantly clear to the non-retarded, just as the direction of travel became abundantly clear with the release of GPT
I got the internship at Amazon. I honestly didn't expect it given how I had to blather on for half my interview about how I totally use and like AI. It pays 3.5k euros a month which is a massive upgrade from my previous position which paid a third of this.
>>109761077I am in love with AI too saar please gib better job.My current net is about 3.3k€.
>>109760900Fuck you
>>109761063>backpedaling that hard alreadyAs usual with you AI nuts, your below-65 IQ is showing.
>>109761143You're being replaced and there is nothing - nothing - you can do about itGo and cry, nerd
>>109761165We're not being replaced anon. Nobody worth their salt accepts the first draft of a solution. All AI is going to do is merge some already clunky software together into a suite to sell, and parlor tricks like celeb fakes and shitty movies. AI will never be free, it's an expensive slave, and always will be. You can't buy trust.
Should be labor week, not labor dayDue to this one day, there are 6 million meeting invites on my calendar
>>109761063>the direction of travelEven though the direction of travel in the power of compute is dictated around Moore's law, you shouldn't make videogames run at 15fps hoping that in 4 years it will be 60. If compilers are untrustworthy they are untrustworthy even if they were improving.
It feels like I need to have already started my own business and made money to get any fucking entry level jobs holy shit nigga
>>109761214nta but we've come to the point where copypasting requirements into the model, giving it implicit information then guiding it works pretty well now. Reviews then take care of remaining issues.
>>109761233Companies only want devs that can be productively used from day 1.
>>109761243>works pretty well nowIt doesn't KEK. What are you on about? Non-coders don't know how to engineer requirements because they aren't computer scientists that would know about the requirements.
>>109761243Doesn't matter. If you use anything connected to the internet it's basically a free for all. AI is a fun little black box, but it's not worth the cost.
>>109761253PO collect requirements and refine them together with software engineers. Software engineers pass requirements into the model.
>>109761261AI is better than the worst mid-level coders already.
>>109761253This.AI-fags have an average IQ of 65.
when is the AI bubble gonna pop so I can finally get a job
>>109761271No, it's worse than the average poo coder. It has definitely improved over time, don't get me wrong, but it's still so bad it can't even replace outsourcing.
>>109761277Even assuming King MIGA doesn't sustain OpenAI and Anthropic indefinitely, the AI bubble popping would still leave the market with current models but at significantly higher cost.
>>1097612776 months, followed by 18 months of recession and more excessive spending because money printer go brrrr
>>109761284The kind of code from humans that was so bad it needed a complete rewrite says otherwise
>>109761293That doesn't even make gramatical sense, pajeet.
is downleveling okay if it means getting a big name on your resume? might sound like a retarded question but im deadass.e.g. taking on a SysDev / SRE position despite having the skills to do SDE work, just because its a FAANG -tier company.
>>109761272Hey, don't call me stupid just because I'm lazy. I'm sure my IQ is higher than room temp
>>109761301What's the angle? Competitor that has a brighter future? Want to move? Only you can determine if a paycut is worth it. I traveled to work just to climb my way up, literally move across the world, and be in a new country every couple of years just to get the experience needed so I could fast track. If that's what you're after, I say go for it. Nothing like putting it all on the line will make you more focused on the task at hand.
>>109761326I'm sure it is, so long as you're sitting in a very very cold room right now.
Any 3rd party fiber contractors here? How's business?
>>109761301your example doesn't sound like down leveling as much as it is a role change; with the current state of the industry, that example you gave is understandable and one can argue is smart. I don't know devops salary range because I never liked those guys but they always seem comfy until shit goes down they usually join email threads with logs and status updates
>>109761231Of course it's not a step change. There are domains in which new tech works well, others less so. I wouldn't rely on AI for absolutely everything, but the areas where I wouldn't use it are rapidly shrinking, and this has been clear from the outset with GPT. For some anons (myself to an extent) probably earlier
>>109761727IQ upper bound: 65
>>109761765IQ upper bound: 1
>>109760021>Trying to decide if its worth renting or just driving there its hardware work so no remote.You could calculate your cost (remember to include the car itself and its maintenance, as well as your time)Or you could just move, because wasting that much time.daily is not good for your psyche

Do I need a phd for future promotions within the SWE industty?
>>109762877I wear the same pair of pants a few days if i don't sweat. Anything else i change. I don't have an office jacket, i come with a t-shirt or a polo shirt
>>109762911You need 2 phds, 40 certs, 50 years of experience, two products that are used by at least 3 million people each and then you may get an interview before they outsource your job to an Indian who can't figure out how to exit vim
>get rejection email from HR cunt>get an email to set up an interview later>get a third interview telling me she erroneously sent the interview oneI'M SO SICK OF HR
Do I seriously need to put hobbies and activities on my CV when applying for entry-level software development jobs? I've seen people doing activities such as being part of multiple clubs and travelling the world. Outside of jerking off and playing video games like AOE2 or WOT from time to time, I also read literature that would be deemed as "right wing" or "fascistic". So how am I supposed to add in activities to my CV? I have no normie friendly hobbies or activites. Fucking hate this world so much.
>>109763025I increasingly think all HR departments should be fired and the job of checking the inbox and sending out templates should be filled by engineers in their spare time.
>>109763086>Do I seriously need to put hobbies and activities on my CV when applying for entry-level software development jobs?Can't you just fake being a normie? Is it so fucking hard? Just don't give out your socials and you can bullshit your way in
>>109763086I would say no but>new american coworker in his introduction meeting>shows up with a powerpoint including a full slide of "I like cooking I go to concerts I love X Y and Z here's a picture of me and my gf and some friends"Bizarre people
>>109762877I wear the same shirt every day, I have two of them that I swap out each week
>>109763086>So how am I supposed to add in activities to my CV?I basically put down "I hike" on my CV. Nobody cares that you traveled the world. The CVs are processed by automated tools looking for keywords. Some put down hobbies to make the CV less bland and generic. Crafting CVs feels like magic more than anything, so maybe we put there to remind ourselves that we're still human.
>>109763025To think these dumb bitches have degrees for these shit jobs. >internal hire>auto denied from retarded AI system>reapplied then approved only after i told HR to fix it>finally get interview date, time and more detailed info of the position from one of the employees>get told the phone number to attend the meeting will be given day of>never given the number day of, spend time emailing HR, they say "don't worry we will send it soon">miss the meeting and HR is more pissed about it than the guy trying to hire me>boss rolls his eyes listening to an angry bitch get mad about the issue she created>try again with a different HR person, interview went well and got to move to another positionAll of this was for an internal hire so RIP anyone applying externally.

>>109760368I have to leave in about 90 minutes.I'm starting to really feel the tiredness.My last practice exam, I scored an 84%.How do I make myself more lucid quickly?I already ate a few eggs and an orange. I had two cups of coffee earlier.
>>109763190Time to walk to the military recruiter
>>109763190Join the military loser. Security clearance basically guarantees you a six figure salary.
>>109763202>>109763208I'm 30That option is basically deadShould just steal a shopping cart and go live under a bridge
>>109763119How did your introduction meeting look like?
>>10976321339 is max age. You can go guard and reserve to stay in your area if you really don't want to do full time military.
>>109763213Pretty sure the age cutoff for joining is 35 or 40. Just join the Guard or Reserves, they all go through the same training.

Idk what to put in skills for my resume. I'm applying for SWE jobs. Saying shit like python, java etc. seems to simple but then again I don't want to go into detail or put too many skills to where I shoot myself in the foot and get asked about all the skills I listed.

>>109761284I don't think the comparison even makes sense. The dimensions of terrible are so different. Obviously a pocket calculator is better at counting than any human that has ever existed ten times over, but what is the point in thinking like that?

>>109763213Actually, 30 is the new 20. Just ask any recruiter.That said, I'd personally never join the military.
>>109763465That's because the average person doesn't drink 6 liters of beer, 4 liters of liquor and 40 packs of cigarettes every month.
>>109763430I thought only americans had for-money clearance schemes
>>109763488>for-money clearance schemesThe cost is for the investigation anon, after that, so long as you don't fuck up, and still require it, you have it for as long as you need it.>>109763484You've apparently never been in the military.
>>109763430pfftNobody sponsors a shit around here yet every damn job needs a clearance cause it's all aerospace shit

>>109765134NTAA+/Net+ renews with your Sec+ so might as well get the next cert. Reality of the matter is that A+/Net+ is straight resume padding that is both a waste of time, money and effort. I always recommend reading both then getting Sec+ because sadly a bachelors in IT barely covers the content of those 3 certifications. Even if you don't have a degree saying that you should padding should come with a caveat of the job you are doing. I would recommend just getting a bigger cert than sec+ once you are finished with it.

There was an AI discussion earlier today. I'm currently watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEBv0STiYhIAnother angle is how people/languages speak, and how spoken word affects thinking, mental structures, etc. It's a very difficult problem and no AI is able to account for this. Humans are irrational.
>>109767012>talking shit about A1 for no reasonWhy are you so poor?
Do you ever think
>there's furfags in the office>there's furfags in the discord>there's furfags in the threadLEAVE
>>109767059I really get boomers now. Why bother learning anything aside from your assigned job at this point? It all feels like wasted time.
>>109767035poor... because I don't use some bullshit LLM? Can you imagine using an LLM based on this site? AI has nothing to offer me, it can't even summerize a ten message thread correctly. I'd rather just do the excel commands myself, as it can't even do that shit consistantly. I can't wait for the banks to basically corner the market and using it against litigius bullshit it created out of thin air that happened to get passed, that's where it's headed. It's the only thing that is profitable, more Jewish bullshit.
>>109763541Kill yourself you nigger furfaggot.
>>109767137Why are you so poor and retarded? Did your strict diet of animal cum lower your IQ, furfag? Hmm looks like it did and you have only even gotten worse since picrel. Oh well. More money for us! Not you. You're retarded, gay, brown, poor.
>>109767154Don't forget when the furry switches up to gay posting and tells you take your meds for calling him out.
>>109767154

Maybe you guys are all just acting insecure for no reason and lashing out on your fantasies of wearing fursuits.
>>109767189looks like it, yeah.it's really terrible that gookmoot's jannies and mods decided to remove the IP counter...
Furthermore the furrfaggot has a job but you guys really should go back to posting on /UTWG/ /LGBT/ if you can't handle the truth.

>>109767190>>109767198>>109767204nigger furfaggot obsessed with AR-15s why don't you get a job?
>>109767232>rs-485RS-485, also known as TIA-485(-A) or EIA-485, is a standard, originally introduced in 1983, defining the electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers for use in serial communications systems. Electrical signaling is balanced, and multipoint systems are supported. The standard is jointly published by the Telecommunications Industry Association and Electronic Industries Alliance (TIA/EIA). Digital communications networks implementing the standard can be used effectively over long distances and in electrically noisy environments. Multiple receivers may be connected to such a network in a linear, multidrop bus. These characteristics make RS-485 useful in industrial control systems and similar applications.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-485Some EE standard for motherboards. I highly doubt the furrnigger even knows what a motherboard looks like or is trusted to use a tool more complicated than a flat head if he had one. All he does is complain about being shit at his job and being found out. Any advice you give him is countered with "DUH I ALREADY HAVE A JOB WHY WOULD I EVER LEARN ANYTHING TEEHEE!!!"
>>109767232Misspoke i meant to say PCB not motherboard. but close enough.
>>109767249Why don't these people just use PCIE M.2? Are they stupid?
>>109767249Sounds like some faggot shit to me why should /TWG/ care about it its not even Coding or AI
>>109767249What does it have to do with Tech work?
>>109767264This explains it better. The answer to your question is that we use Cat5 and Fiberoptic now. Even for Siem or SCADA i am almost certain they swapped to newer shit due to range benefits. https://www.renkeer.com/what-is-rs485/The furry brought it up becuase it makes him sound like he's one of us which is retarded. This shit is so fucking old its pointless to talk about. Even my POTS shit runs off of call manager now.
>>109767282furnigger is so retarded he doesnt even know Software runs the world. He's too busy cranking his hog to animals to read even one A+ Net+ Sec+ book.
>there are """"people"""" who arent using at least Cat8eoml
>>109767249he might be dealing with older hardware. I have an RF background and TIA-485 and others like 530 were kind of common in older multiplexor and modem hardware. I've not been in the industry in a while, but hardware was always a huge upfront cost. If you were an amature then buying older hardware was pretty common, because the biggest expense at the end of the day was spectrum, and you were likely stealing it unlicensed, and penalties and shit if caught. >>109767292don't really care about furnigger lore, but you can probably learn more from the Nero books than those certs.
>>109767301>Cat8Brokie detected we use 100g SFP's and Single Mode in the real world. Cat8 is for mentally deranged homeserver builds who need to stream jellyfin uncompressed porn collections in the 100's of TB

>>109767314>Literally why not just use secure airgapped cloud?That's what it was used for in my experience.
>>109767303>Nero books than those certs.Give source on Nero i have never heard of it. Besides you can learn more from RFC's and Cisco's website for the average worker. Those certs give the BASIC's you really only need Sec+ to get a real job but reading all 3 should be your fundamentals with CCNA/JNCIA being your first big boy cert before specializing.
>>109767303Shut the fuck up you retarded literal homo actual Tech Workers are talking.
>>109767333>Besides you can learn more from RFC's and Cisco's website for the average worker.In current year, sure. I grew up on one of those HP things before the get a Dell dude, mastering the Encarta95 game while reading the 'rainbow' books on the included/packaged Nero box that Office Depot had on sale with the shitty helicopter sim that I could never get working. >>109767343I'm not tech working right now, we're after hours.
>>109767329It's airgapped so there should be no wires? So you don't need 70s nigger wizardvan pedo furfag ""standards"" for it?
Furnigger why you are so obsessed with obsolete nigger standards not used in Tech Work since the 80s? Is it because you have no job?https://desuarchive.org/g/search/text/"700v%20serial%20cable"/
>>109767351So you cannot learn more from outdated shit.Go jerk off on one of the commodore threads that get posted every couple months. This shit you bring up furry is so old its no longer relevant. Go fuck yourself. You can't learn more from old shit go read a TCP/IP book you dumbass nigger.

>>109767351Post hands? Fursuit gloves off, please, nobody wants to see your cum stained suit manpreet
>>109767352>It's airgapped so there should be no wires?uh, it's an unaccessable network. silent sentry doesn't even know what was transmitted, and very few 'outside' vendors were used for this exact reason. We found Chinese backdoors in Cisco products inside secured environments that we interacted with over a decade ago, and alerted them of it. This was DoD back around 2010 when I was working with Darpa. Sometimes old wizardry just works, and is overlooked. >>109767368>>109767376are you all the same people? I'm new to this board and you retards.

If this furfag is so broke and old how does he own a computer?
Pretty sure my 20 year old noticing AI is observing this pattern. I don't need it, you can just buy it to take it off my hands I guess, whatever you want.
>>109767495He's phone posting from his car between medication and drinking.
>>109767503If he's broke and old how does he own a car, let alone a computer? A car is significantly more expensive than a computer.
>>109767510He's a jeet posting from the "dashboard" on a city rent-a-scooter. Real HAs will get him soon when he passes the wrong patched up chad babbling about RS numbers and stolen valor.

>>109767574I asked Claude and he said it's not a thing yet and it is a multi-billion dollar idea. You're Wrong.
>>109726985hey anon I tried asking for an update on this but the janny deleted my post for some reason.
I am a 5 year software engineer, I got laid off May 2025 and haven’t been employed as a SWE since. During that time I was trying to find a job, but eventually real life hit me and I need to abandon ship and move back to my hometown with my parent. I want to get back into the field now. I have submitted 87 applications so far, and no callbacks yet. I have tried multiple various ways too. Generic shotgun resume, tailor resume to job description, reach out to recruiters/HM, there are sadly no locally companies but I applied to any job in the US. Hell I even applied to jobs outside of the US. Indeed, Linkedin, YCombinator, nothing. Is my gap too large to make a comeback here? Am I just not trying hard enough?
>>109768063Having been involved in the candidate selection process myself, being without a job gives potential employers the ick. Next you also need to have a CS degree and multiple years of relevant experience. Then you need to pass the technical interview. And we don't even do LC type questions here but codebase reasoning and architectural questions instead.
I already applied to over 10 positions the past couple months, why is the market so hard? I regret going for CS
>>109768094>Not applying to 40 a dayAnon pls.
>>109768109How do you find time to create cover letters, research about the company, etc for that? Stop lying...
>>109768115I just send shit out anon. As long as you match one of the requirements you might get hired. >Making cover lettersWhat are you a cuck?
>Cover letters>MFW
>>109768094You have to do minimum 10 a day and you should get a few calls within 6 months. Maybe not an offer, that can take about a year. Assuming 7 days a week of applying. Assuming you fully customize each application which should take 30m-1h per application.
>>109768234benchod
>>109768201>>109768217>mfw 70-ish CVs, 0 cover letters, 6 callbacksnot a SWE tho
>>109768397first anon.I also never customize my CV's. I have had 3 jobs since 2020 and they always asked questions from random parts of my resume that is more obscure than the stuff they are hiring for. Then later it turns out they need that niche experience. No clue why people bother with removing anything from a resume.
>>109768413i did remove some shit for the sake of brevity, but it was mostly a holdover from when i first did my CV and listed java/c# because i did some of that in highschool, but frankly my programming knowledge stops at fizzbuzz level.
