maintaining morale is critical
wtf is going on? some team just handed us their project and said they're too busy to finish it, we should do it.. (and our team lead said yes?). it's a shit project and much worse than how they presented it

>>109910441To what? The fact that supposedly "high iq" techbros cannot into pattern recognition, and not a single one has mentioned the Indian Hindu problem that everyone can see right in our faces? Yeah, I noticed. I can't wait for AI to sweep them all away.

i need an actual project at work because without fey mood shit i cannot be happy. there are "opportunities" supposedly, but we all know that we techs merely exist at the behest of engineers who have forgotten we exist, for clients who don't care about anything. my morale is rapidly falling and i can tell that in our little department, everyone else's is too, even if not as precipitously.
I start a new job soon. How many of my coworkers will be jeets?
>>109910427the EEOC was created only to hurt white people
>>109910630Most, if not all of them. AI has helped them go from 45 IQ, to pretending to have a 120 IQ in most tasks related to the job. The first ones being fired are white men, and the last ones to ever get fired by the AI replacement are the invaders.

So surely Israel is fighting to import millions of them because once they get the opportunity, they will make Israel a superpower like they're supposed to do in America? Ohhh

Making fun of "ai chads" at work is quickly becoming my favorite thing. Several "ai chad" coworkers have their stinky CRUD app and UI, yet they have no users. The few "ai chads" that make it to presenting their stuff just get head nods or tough (easy) questions.I used to defend my "ai chad" coworkers until one of them:>asked me for my insight>i explained what he's trying isn't possible>he secretly kept going>weeks later he comes back groveling for more help while trying not to reveal he's still going>i reminded him why it's not possible>he shrugged and blathered in deflection>weeks later he gave up and quit the companyThe "ai chads" are all the same to me now: Belligerent, clueless, and widely understood to be non-technical (so never respected in what they vibecode), and thus, I can't associate with them any longer.
>>109911352Be grateful you're even getting paid that much and never forget that India is pumping out 17 million of these "engineers" every year, while only creating around 50,000 new jobs in their entire country. Look at Europe and you'll see where SWE salaries should have been for Americans- but even that will keep going down until eventually our invader poos will get paid exactly the same as their outsourced cousin poos.In 5 years we're going to be looking at these 6 figure tech salaries the same way we look back at the days when knowing how to make an HTML form by hand and send it to an email inbox would guarantee you a 6 figure salary and a stable career path in web development.
>>109911494The Boeing crashes were caused by faulty MCAS sensors, not bad software.
>>109910294Nyo, it's time to get off the work computer and get on the home computer. My weekly usage reset and it's time to vibecode
>>109911553Not fully true. There were bad sensors, but more importantly Boeing hid the MCAS functionality from the FAA so that they wouldn't have to spend money to retrain pilots because they could claim there was nothing new in operating the new plane. But then the MCAS sensors failed and the (not as well trained) foreign pilots didn't know what the fuck to do because Boeing never taught them and so they died.
>>109911553>Boeing admitted MCAS played a role in both accidents, when it acted on false data from a single angle of attack (AoA) sensor. In 2020, the FAA, Transport Canada, and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) evaluated flight test results with MCAS disabled, and suggested that the MAX might not have needed MCAS to conform to certification standards.[5] Later that year, an FAA Airworthiness Directive[6] approved design changes for each MAX aircraft, which would prevent MCAS activation unless both AoA sensors register similar readings, eliminate MCAS's ability to repeatedly activate, and allow pilots to override the system if necessary. The FAA began requiring all MAX pilots to undergo MCAS-related training in flight simulators by 2021.>crashing your plane because a single sensor was giving you a bad readingIt was dogshit software

>>109914988I see. Still kinda weird though, isn't it? In the era of vibe coding... Unless it's a new trend for them, I guess.
>>109914995Sri Lanka turns up a lot in related searches, as does St Helena for some reason, might be something strabge going onIndia is the one to watch because the much bigger population smooths over strange effectsBut it makes sense: they test, 1st worlders develop

>company uses slack instead of teams
I have thrown in the towel and started vibe coding at work. I simply have lost all good will and have become totally numb to what occurs.However, what worries me most is the fact that I can not tolerate organic coding anymore.I cannot just simply open the editor and implement whatever I have designed or figured.Not vibe coding feels like wasting time.Is there any going back from this?

>>109916106No. This is it. It became clear to me that this was it in February/March when everything started popping offOver the summer people have internalised it and Opus 5.5 has cemented itYou have to let go
>>109916624I feel like a model needs to be as good as GLM5.3 to be usable. I'm currently using Mistral because of their insane limits and can tell a clear difference between GLM5.2 and GLM5.3. Hopefully Mistral also produces their own good-enough models soon so that Anthropic and OpenAI get pressurized even more.
>>109916624>Opus 5.5This lil nigga is actually great. I'm ~70% of the way through a migration from AngularJS 1.4 (2015) to Angular v22 (2026) in a single vibe-coded afternoon
>>109917020How big?
>>109917081Pretty fucking big. This would take a team of 3 multiple months in 2020
>>109917157Interesting. GLM failed my type safety refactoring in an Angular app recently so if Opus is good enough for those kinds of tasks that's a clear advantage.

I've seen tons of tall dudes 6'2+ irl that have incredibly long legs without surgery. The doctor doing the procedure will measure you out and recommend a height increase of usually between 2-3 inches to prevent weird proportions, however some people ignore the advice and go extreme 6 inches (thigh and calf surgery) which is why they look bizarre. A dude that's 5'6 could go up to 5'9 and look completely normal if he had a long upper body but short legs before the procedure.

All you get is stupid shit like Astra now being able to press buttons in other applications so it can do in 5 minutes what you'd do in 30 seconds. Actual intelligence has not improved much. Meanwhile costs are out of control, they are throwing 100k GPUs at the problem now for marginal gains, but going to a million will likely not result in a noticeable difference.
>>109920128Even current Opus is good enough for 95% software engineering use cases, so this is not the gotcha you think it is.It is just tooo expensive for most enterprise users right now.true that Gemini has a lot catching up to do, but if it can be 80% as good as Opus at less than half the price, then Google would have won the long game
>>109920383How is opus too expensive? We have the team plan and I struggle to burn through even half of the 5 hour limit
Really thinking of switching to be a PM.The constant code grind is driving me nuts
>>109920444We have the maxed out team plan and it runs through the entire limit in 30 minutes.
>>109920383>95% software engineering use casesI use it daily at work and have used AI for years. If it can do 95% of your SWE job it's because you're a webshitter who spent the last 15 years dragging software standards to the bottom of the barrel and then started digging deeper. It's good for basic debugging and code review, but it's awful at solving any sort of complex task in a large codebase. At writing code and architecting system it is abysmal. Sorry, AI is not coming to save you from your lack of skill. There's no future where AI does everything for you and uplifts you from your third world slum.
>>109920477What, roughly, are you doing? And on what settings? I just have mine set to mediumI set it to the highest setting for a few minutes for the lolz and yeah it burnt through quickly so I stopped it, but I didn't need that
>>109920570>Sorry, AI is not coming to save you from your lack of skill. There's no future where AI does everything for you and uplifts you from your third world slum.This is the crux of it, isn't it? Third worlders want quick and easy solutions and get rich quick schemes, they care about appearances not substance and AI talks confidently and appears skilled. The same mindset is what makes their countries shitholes. You cannot build long lasting, reliable societies on hollow facades but they're not capable of understanding that as they cannot see below the outer layer of things.
>>109920574I set mine to either high or extra depending. I just get completely useless results on medium. I change between opus 4.6 and fable 5.1 depending on task, because opus 4.6 works WAY better than the 5 series and sometimes does better than fable.I usually ask very simple things, simple refactors (but on large codebases) and small modifications but it keeps trying to rewrite the whole thing or refusing to listen to my instructions and shit like that. So I use more tokens getting mad at how bad it can be.

Annual review this week. For the past four consecutive years I have been getting the "outperforming" rating which is the highest possible rating in the company and very few employees ever get it.

>>109924847Find a club/meetup/recurring event at some kind and start attending. Worst case, it's something to keep your sanity and you'll end up with some friends in the context of the event. Best case, you'll hang out with people outside the event and end up with actual friends. Unless you plan on moving again soon, don't give up on a social life.I gave up on a social life where I live, thinking I would be out in six months or a year.

>>109930853You don't have to take every job. You can also put a wait queue with delay estimates (so users will see a "warning: expected delivery time: 3-4 weeks" before confirming and paying).But yes, absolutely increase your price. In fact you should have already made price experiments a while back. The ideal price is the price people complain is too high, but will still pay.

reminder not to feed the troll / spambotssad times we live in that people need to be reminded of that
>>109930961In b2b, the usual strategy is to simply double the price outright and see what happens. If it works, you double it again until it doesn't work. In other words you do a dichotomic search. If you are talking to people face to face, it works well because if they complain and you estimate they won't pay, it's your cue to do the down-step on the search. They'll take it. They'll feel they're getting a deal, too.>Repeating clients get mad if I refuse to get their gigs because they 'only have me' and they fired their previous editors because I do a better job (while paying the same)Try upselling. Instead of refusing, offer to either queue them up and maybe you'll do their thing 2 months from now when you have time, or offer them a priority package/rush job that costs more and puts them in a priority queue.

How far out in advance is acceptable for scheduling a technical interview?For context, I am a few rounds into the process but I was informed that this next one will be purely technical - the first one yet. I am thinking of scheduling it a week out from when I was told (or a week plus a few days). I need ample time to prepare as my brain is totally fried from LLM coding, and I've got quite a bit of relearning to do.I am trying to tow the line between scheduling it quick enough such that they do not find somebody else before they get to me, but I also get enough time to prep.I'm sure many of you have been in a similar position, and I would appreciate some advice

I've been wanting to do something about my salary for a while (boss literally told me they "negotiated well with me") but there's some weird culture in my country and company about keeping ones pay secret or something and I don't have enough experience to understand why. Is it worth trying to ask my teammates about their pay? I don't know who I could ask for advice and my boss is an egotistical manchild so I don't know if I could just ask for a raise
>>109934872>LCOL area for a job that pays 2.5x as much in the Bay AreaDepends on where you are. If you live in a state without income tax, plan on losing 60% of that 2.5x just in taxes and cost of living.
>>109934890No but it’s a small startup and the interviews at places like that are usually pretty easy. And even if I don’t it’s still good interview practice to do it.>>109935007I already know I’m going to lose at least 1/3 of my net income to housing because to live in the same size house I have right now (3 bdr 1500 sq ft that I fully own paid off) it’s going to cost at least $5-6k/month in rent.

>>109934287I've really been considering going away without notifying anybody. It's called job abandonment. And looking into this, I've found that there's a thing called a record of employment that your company has to fill out whenever they stop paying you. For more than a week. There is no job abandonment category, so they have to fill out the other category and provide a detailed response. Basically saying that you abandon your job. I assume this would make any type of background checks in the future. Brewing your chances of getting another job. It's a pity, but I almost have enough money to save where it doesn't matter. Not bad.It'd be pretty funny if you just see all these calls and stuff appearing on your phone, but you literally don't respond and the company is ceding, telling you to give them back their computer and you just act like a ghost and don't reply. I think that is quite amusing.
>>1099113522023 was the last year to get through the sliding door. Now you gotta climb through a windowI was feeling the same as you, but I finally made 100k in 2025 with bonuses and shit after 7 years of being a data faggotmost places were only giving out 65k for starting salaries in Canada. at my previous gig, I found out a guy with several years more seniority was making 55k and I was making 75kYou need to demand a bonus and a raise "or else"

>>109935494I don't understand this "useless new grad" shit. How did you people ever get a job? In my first job I was expected to perform at a principal engineer level right out the gate (and exceeded expectations because I've programmed about as soon as I could walk). That was just minimal qualifications in 2016.
>>109935506And by "good" you mean "good at politics", just to be clear.
>>109935645>You need to demand a bonus and a raise "or else"Tried that, got fired on the spot. O Canada!Almost became homeless, has to change countries to avoid it. Best decision in my life.But you have to live in the middle of nowhere to only get that much. In the 3 cities you'd be making at least 100k out the gate, just don't work for quebecers or boomers because yes, they will offer you 35k as a senior and expect you to be grateful for it.
>>109934976It's either company-enforced or it's a social thing. If it's a social thing you just have to find people who don't care as much. You can "casually say" that you don't understand why people don't like sharing salaries, to you it's just a number and shit. See who bites. They'll probably do something like "oh yeah? what do you earn?" and you tell them, see their reaction, and then pressure them into answer as well "I told you mine now tell me yours? come on, don't be a bitch".If it's company enforced it's a little harder. Most sheeple will be scared: "what if the company finds out I told my salary and fires me" (that's not actually possible but they're sheeple so they don't think). Best to get in touch with former employees on, say, linkedin.

I work in software development, we are very AI heavy now. It's kind of boring, honestly. What types of programming aren't so AI focused now? I don't even know where my passion is anymore and I can feel the regression.Whoever decided talking to a computer is fun is a jew
>>109935738I went to a good school and was really great at leetcode
Started working at a big corporate job, I used to work in startups.The biggest thing I hate so far is that everyone makes questions feel stupid.>Instructed to reach out to a certain role for an onboarding task>Ask the person I'm supposed to be asking questions who that is>"This was in your contract!" (had to go through hundreds of pages of documentation the past few days)>Reach out to the person in my contract>Apparently it's not even the right person>Reach out to the right person>They don't respond for a week>Ask on standup to confirm I'm doing it right this time>Scrum master doesn't even answer my question>Just says "um, anon, I trust that you are capable of following up on your own?">I already did that multiple times, they just assumed I didn't>Also, isn't their whole job making sure I'm not blocked?>Finally the person responds>After all that, they don't even listen to my request that I was told to make>Just respond in the least generous most dismissive wayI don't see how any organization can survive like this.
>>109936976>I don't see how any organization can survive like this.size and momentum
>>109936976Sounds like you're particularly unlucky to work with absolute cunts, I can't say I've seen the same, even from our american coworkers
>>109936976Yup, welcome to big companies. Wait until you get into the political games they play on top of that garbage. It's why I swore off big corps forever.
AMZN bro's its going to get worse. My friends at apple thought they were AI proof through R&D and it seems like they are on the chopping block too. 30% between both companies Est.
>boss wants a special addition to the pipeline to be create>to give the ability for auto deployment of AI models from the data sciences team>do it > nobody use it besides me>still have to accept and deploy AI models>mfw when this is another step in the pipeline that creates more problems that solves
>>109936976i might be a sociopath because stuff like this slides right off me.as long as i can point my finger at the external contractor or whoever it is that's blocking me, i can legitimately do nothing about it myself, and can genuinely say that i've tried contact multiple times it doesn't weight on my conscience.it gets messy if it's a team member because it's not nice to throw people under the bus, so you gotta give them the gentle treatment and speak to your boss in a 1:1 instead of a shared meeting
>>109935650Yeah, modern slavery is why pajeets like you are being brought to our countries>>109935755It's social. I guess I'll take the next opportunity my teammates start complaining about their pay grades
I asked my coworker for the api log and he copy pasted claude at me
>>109936918join /gedg/ while claude is chugging my friend
>>109937803I've had that recently as well. When that happens I just ghost the fag and say at the next standup I'm blocked because he isn't giving me the logs, for example. If he claims he has answered I make a snide remark about AI slop and its total lack of relevance.
>new product team guy wants to use ai agents for analysis, writing wiki docs and whatever else
>>109937452It doesn't impact me directly emotionally, and if it was a few fags blocking me I wouldn't be worried about pointing the finger at them, but when it's everyone on my team I don't like being universally considered a retard who can't get unblocked when I'm just asking normal new guy questions. Also not enjoying having to keep receipts in case this comes up on perf review
>>109937968Always keep receipts for everything, that's how it goes for big corporate jobs.
>>109937968>Also not enjoying having to keep receipts in case this comes up on perf reviewCongrats on even figuring out that this is the first thing you should do. Every single conversation: log it. Voice call? Send a summary of what was discussed after and ask if that is consistent with what the other guy thinks. The agreement gives you a written proof. Welcome to big corps.
>>109937911>If he claims he has answered I make a snide remark about AI slop and its total lack of relevancewell I hope you get fired then because that's just you being an ignorant retard
>>109938148The guy in question got a stern talking to about not spamming people with irrelevant walls of texts that make everyone slower for no reason. Sucks to have AI psychosis I guess.
>>109935743>got fired on the spotyou should elaborate. right now you seem disgruntled and larping
>>109938215Not much to elaborate on. I got extremely good reviews and told that I'm definitely getting a raise at the 6 months perf review because I "punched well above my weight". 6 months role in, perf review, they're practically getting on all four and sucking my dick. I ask about the raise they say "oh... the company is not doing so good..." Note that literally everyone else got a raise so far and that I'm the least paid employee in the company, including the woman whose entire job is to order snacks for the office once a month. I explain that I relocated across provinces in just 4 days for them and they know the quality of my work, and explain also that I'm currently slightly finance negative because of the shit pay. They say they'll look into it. Next day 10am I'm pulled aside. "You're fired effective immediately".
Anyone else having a severe uptick of recruiters in their inbox lately? Are we recovering from the job losses of 2022-2023?
>>109938342Scammers are desperate they are losing H1B access among other work visas.
>>109938342No, I can't say that
>>109937911lmao
>>109936326Without one you're never getting a job.
>>109938266its like dating, don't make yourself seem so desperate, and don't behave that way either. Everyone knows slackers don't get fired, its always the go go go dorks
>>109938462What if you're both a slacker and a dork?
>>109935506Sounds like you never had a job.
>>109938723>>109938723>>109938723>>109938723
>>109938444Maybe in Burgerland, but why would anyone want to live/work there?
>>109938462>Everyone knows slackers don't get fired, its always the go go go dorksYes, but I was legit going to go homeless by summer at that rate. You have to remember that in Canada, rent is (generally) 1-year binding and it's virtually unheard of that a landlord agrees to break the lease earlier without a massive fee (that can often be higher than to actually pay for the rest of the year) as well. This means not only I'd have been homeless, but I would also have had to take on debt and then default on it or something like that. And yes, that was the cheapest rent I could find at the time because of the jewish shit Canadian landlords do during student intake season. My coworkers were showing me their apartments and telling me to come to their building instead since it's so much cheaper. They'd open the app and... it was 50-150% more expensive than what I was paying, they just lucked out on securing a pre-covid lease.Furthermore, I was working 10-12h a day on average (spread out between the week and the weekends and holidays) with 100% on-call.I had already tried to find other jobs, but the Canadian market is just literally not a thing at all. I had expected them to just say "sorry, maybe next time" and move on. Then I would have went home at 5 on the dot every day to grind leetcode and apply to jobs. But I'm sure they would have fired me for this had I done that anyway.
>>109938887Rent here is pretty fucking awfulBedrooms are going for >1k in most "big" citiesYou sound kinda traumatized from thisI guess you ended up in America? hope things are better for you there
>>109939204>only 1kWith 2 roommates maybe lmao.Anyway, I had tried to get into the US for a few years by then. I went through late stage interviews but when they learned I did not have an H1B, no amount of explaining what TN status is changed their mind. It seemed that around 10 years ago TN was no longer recognized ever again. Eitherway, I ended up in a EU country and now earn the equivalent (based on my net take-home) of 313k CAD.
>>109939285How are your colleagues in the EU? Nicer?Did you find your job on LinkedIn?I guess you had few ties to friends and family in Canada since you didn't mention moving back in with parents?I'll be in the next thread if you wanna answer there
>>109936315do the cons outweigh the pros of having some free time throughout the day for chores and interaction with sundwellers?
>>109926753buy or build a building and rent it out, put the rest in a goyfund and live off it
>>109939338Generally they're way nicer. No politics AT ALL, extremely understanding of things like having to take time off to go to the dentist or whatever. Very flexible and relaxed attitude. Strict 9-5 schedules, no bullshit "you are paid 40 hours but you'll be fired if you work less than 70". 30d vacations is also really cool.I did find the job on linkedin, but I applied through the website directly. After that I found my next job through a recruiter who reached out to me.I never really had friends, but my entire family was in Canada. I was never all that close to them, though. They call me weekly and miss me and all but I'm OK where I am thankyouverymuch.You can keep asking questions in the next thread or whatever.
>>109939396will you be retiring soon?what do you do for fun there? same stuff as Canada?is the immigrant situation as bad as pol claims? (e.g. Paris is just a refugee camp now) what was the hardest part about moving there? Just getting the job and convincing recruiters/hiring managers you're willing to go there? I am sorta stuck in Canada because of a medication I take
>>109938159great, sounds like you have a happy and healthy work environment anon!!!
>>109939441I have much better access to nature here, to the point I can walk 30m from my home that's in the biggest city and go fish. And the fish is actually safe to eat. Not that I fish that often, but I go out in nature a lot. Just walks, or mushroom picking, or renting a boat, that kind of stuff. Doable in Canada of course, but not feeling like driving 2h one way some weekends and such. No such issue here. I also have work friends who invite me to hang out sometimes, something I hadn't managed to find in 16 years working in Canada. It's also easier to travel, so I visited some places in the UK and France, and planning to do something larger, like pan-European, some summer.Immigration situation depends a lot on country and sometimes even city. Where I am, it's white as snow. Paris is pretty bad, but nowhere near as bad as Toronto was when I left, for example, and arguably better than Montreal was as well, although depends on area. London is much better now than it was some years ago, but pretty dreadful and much worse than Toronto for sure. West and South of France in some cities I've been have been much better. I need to visit more of ireland, but for now it's not been a nice place so far.Hardest part of moving was the psychological block. I got into a country I know nothing about, where I heard it was a shitskin haven and where I don't know the language. I am extremely happy that this impression couldn't have been further from the truth and that I took to the language easily.Aside from that, I had an easier time getting job offers in Europe than I did in Canada. I had another competing offer in Germany that I turned down at the same time, within 30ish applications. By comparison I had not had an interview in 242 job applications in Canada at that point.>>109939479Yes, I really lucked out. It was also a second stroke of luck to have landed in this country and not in another less "interesting" one.
>>109939285>I ended up in a EU country and now earn the equivalent (based on my net take-home) of 313k CADYeah I don't believe you. Most software engineers in Europe don't even make 6 figures. That would be in like the top 0.1% of salaries.
>>109940147It's top 0.5% here, yes. But also most software engineers with at least 3 yoe make 6 figs here. Not all EU countries are created equal.
>>109919322>5'9over
>>109940147this lmao
>>109939520I'm guessing Spain or Portugal
