Men think in terms of practicability. "These shoes feel comfortable, have a firm grip, keep my feet warm and don't tire me out on long walks". Women, on the other hand, primarily care about looks and social status. "These shoes make my legs look longer and my ass bigger. And they are more expensive or at least look like that compared to what Jannet has."

nta, but yes. I basically fell into that, originally applied for a technical position, ended up landing management.

Really depends on where you are located vs your 'team' if you're remote. I tend to work between 5AM-Noon local. Might have one or two meetings a week at 1PM, but they're usually short, or canceled. It's not hard to do if you don't abuse it, just make it clear that you're working multiple timezones, and sometimes you work outside of them. You have to let others know this, so they don't expect an instant reply outside of your office hours.

>>109957592
Then I guess I’m going to be jobless and unemployable from now on because I’ve spent my entire life doing nothing but frontend, over 20 years now including the time I did it as a hobby before it became my career. I have no other skills and I’m not smart enough to acquire the skills needed for modern backend programming. If it was just writing php and sql queries like back in the 2000s I could manage it, but the sheer amount of frameworks and services you need to be an expert in today to do backend is absolutely insane.

>>109957665

The thing now is that your job is basically just to figure shit out. Like that's the job. Everything else is secondary. Don't worry about actually knowing things or "passing something off" as your own code. Nobody cares who's code you're using, this was even true before AI (to a lesser extent).

>>109958189
This stuff is way too complex for me to "just figure out" with no experience in it. I was hired specifically as a frontend dev and up until now I've only ever touched the frontend codebase. How could I possibly be expected to contribute anything meaningful on the backend in only a couple weeks of even seeing it? The ticket is insanely complicated and vague too. I just don't see how this can be anything but a ploy to get me to either quit on my own or give them a reason to fire me.

Do I even want a promotion? The only reason I'd get one is that I fear if I'm seen "not dynamic" I'm the first on the list to get the boot, but otherwise I'm content with my salary and workload

>>109958272

he showed up with a smile every day and actually cared

>>109958272
You need to make your mind more dynamic. Specialized roles have been deprecated since around mid-2025. Nowadays companies want devs who can use AI to perform all tasks (frontend, backend, infrastructure, cloud, design, security) all at once and work on increasingly complex tasks and projects.
Are you up for that changing job market or not?

>>109958338
Junior -> Mid-level -> Senior pipeline definitely
Anything above that risks your career.

>>109958272
Well you know the situation better than I do, maybe they are trying to fuck you. I deal with backend like 99% of the time and I think it's actually easier than frontend, so if a frontend developer says they can't do it that seems like they might be selling themselves short.

If you can use AI, ask it a bunch of questions about the code (and answer with citations) and have it give suggestions (that you would implement yourself). Don't vibe code, don't let it run hog wild, and don't use anything with "agent" in the name.

>>109958405
>Are you up for that changing job market or not?
No, because it's impossible. It takes a decade of work just to get good in ONE of those areas. No person on earth could ever become good enough in all of those disciplines at the same time. Have you never heard the saying "jack of all trades, master of none"?

Ever heard of the pareto principle? You don't need to be an expert these days just to get by. AI exists to take off some of your work so you can be more focused on the system and requirements as a whole and solve increasingly complex issues. Don't chase perfection, good enough is where it's at.

Before AI, people either found a solution to their specific problem on SO/forums/youtube/blogs or had to debug for days/weeks until they eventually found a solution or workaround. AI shortens that process to just minutes/hours but you still end up learning a bit by reviewing what AI achieved.
I'm not even the most pro-AI users as some friends using Opus 5.5 have started to completely disregard the review process but nethertheless, AI is the future and the old process is dead.

I'm sick of this unspoken rule that the mutt is always right. That you must always accommodate the mutt even if he's the one needing your help.

People on /g/ always complain about pajeets and shit but the truth is mutts are the biggest cancer in tech in international companies.

are they retarded or is this some h1b jeet scam thing so they dont have to hire humans? i cant imagine that anyone who applied to this and had a decent resume would still be looking for job (this is for EE not SWE)

>>109960338
>are they retarded or is this some h1b jeet scam thing so they dont have to hire humans
The latter. They intentionally make the job listing horrible so they can throw their hands up and say "we can't find any qualified candidates!" then be given the greenlight to import an H1Jeet

Now I am even more confusded. What do you do exactly?

>>109958416
yep. I found this out the hard way. still no job.
>>109958631
no... when you become a threat to VPs and Execs, they will throw you out, then you are fucked. I'm still not sure what my next move will be, trying everything.

>>109958909
only incompetent fools hire jeets, so your story seems to check out.

>>109960338
>>109960376
I suspect that another trick corpos pull is to keep posting, taking down, reposting the same job over and over and over until all the local candidates are so burned that they can finally post the job, get zero applications, and as you said throw up hands up saying "we can't find any qualified candidates". funny thing is that the job market is so bad, people kept applying... so now workday says "oh you already applied to this job"... keep making more email accounts and applying again. fuck 'em.

>>109957665
Dude, backend frameworks are the same shit that frontend ones: 6 different ways of doing the same basic stuff, which is making requests and reading the database.
Sounds like you never learnt your basics.

Does the difficulty between software engineering jobs differ a lot? I've been in software/defense for 9 months and I feel retarded - scared to switch jobs because idk if other ones will be even harder or more pressure to perform

Yikes.

I haven't asked but I think the offices are reserved for managers or really senior engineers. And there are a LOT of cubicles per floor.
my cubicle is comfy and my team members do their own thing so I'm happy!!

never understood the allure of those. I guess if you're a teacher or something, and want a podium that can also be a desk? My desk is pretty big, and standing and using a computer, I'm not in the server room, why? Imagine having someone walk in and there's a meeting and you have to wait to lower your desk lol, how unprofessional.

Government employees are all welfare queens. Sometimes I wonder if I should bite the bullet and join. Why are the technically competent people either cynical or cockblocking you instead of just playing total war remote like you?

The cynical ones are too low on the hierarchy to actually be able to do their own work. Usually accountable for something that needs someone elses approval.

And the cockblockers are afraid of someone somehow out-doing them or showing how lazy they've gotten. Or they own some licensing or some shit and getting paid $$$.

The government feels like the military with how rigidly they enforce the hierarchy it's insane

>>109960960
you fail to understand, but I do not care to explain it.

And that's why I'm not worried about AI.

>>109961302
if youre salaried 9 to 5 on weekdays works out to 40 hours a week which is standard. does anyone actually work the entire time? no. theres a lunch hour you have some flexibility with as well

>>109961393
The problem is that the people with the money who make the decisions don't know this, so they're just going to keep cutting more and more jobs.

>>109961443
It's ok, they don't tend to have money for long.

>>109961393
the only problem now is if management can remain retarded longer than ai can remain genuinely useless
and management is pretty damn fucking retarded

>>109961462
the next time there's a massive production issue, and it was your fault, just say the AI escaped containment and went wild.

rewrote my resume today from scratch. i was staring at that end date of my last employment. i thought to myself, wow, that was over two years ago, and then it hit me...i think that's a wrap folks.

the irony is that everywhere I've worked, many coworkers have told me I am one of the best developers they'd ever worked with.

it doesn't make sense, but I guess it doesn't have to make sense. that's just the way of the world.

I guess I am telling you this so that you know it's time to move on. I'm going to do some technician trade work as far away from computing as a possibly can.

>>109962035
I was thinking to take the FE for the fun of it... but is there any chance an old tech worker with an EIT designation can apprentice into a new field? I meet the standards, but I'm asking if any old-dude PE would realistically take me under his wing. I wouldn't mind doing some real engineering for once.

You do you, you probably already know that it will require you to memorize a metric ton of textbooks and manuals.

>>109961279
>claude has been able to write perfect code for over 2 yrs now
even AI shill cope about code quality has been to resort to whataboutism or “it doesn’t matter bro just don’t look at it”. I’ve never seen anyone make a claim this absurd. I can’t even imagine how dogshit of a programmer you have to be to unironically believe that.

>>109962082
yes, I know. the learning part isn't a problem or what bothers me. I just wonder if realistically a licensed PE actually wants a protege or not. I'd like to get one job and just work for that guy until he retires.

>>109962134

I am picturing some rail-thin old guy who is like 65 and plans to work until he's dead, which will be like 80+, and he's dissapointed because none of his sons or daughters wanted to be engineers, and he thinks everybody these days is a fucking retard, and he's just looking for somebody to be a helper who has a brain and respects that his knowledge is actually worth something... and we can chain smoke cigs in the work truck and just shoot the shit shit over a few cups of coffee at 5am waiting for some asshole government man to show up, to give asshole government man the run around, and then get the men back to work.

I don't know... for some reason pissed-off competent people always take a shining to me... maybe because I listen and follow instructions, but have the good judgement for when I am supposed to think for myself too.

>>109958498
You learn by getting in way over your head, fucking up, and fixing your mistakes.
Life's not a video game where you'll get perfectly designed steps to teach you what you need to know.
You get thrown into the deep end and either sink or swim. You're not even trying to swim, and you've been given a life preserver (AI).
You don't have to lie and say that you wrote the code yourself when AI did it. Your manager just wants you to resolve the feature, or at least make some measurable progress. Even if you say you've been learning the codebase and planning what you want to change, that's still better than doing literally nothing.

>>109962043
that is not that difficult if you know the question pattern

>>109961695
Most chinks are on 9-9 schedules, mostly 6 days a week and sometimes 7. Japs for whatever reason only have 6 hours of productive work but work 10's with another 4 hours of team meetings at the bar's afterwork for bosses who don't want to go home to their crappy wives/kids.
