I hope you're having a nice day of prompting AI frens
Average day at Cisco.
Just told an applicant I'm moving him forward, I'm not lol we have a cap of 3 for the final and these is this very cute girl I already approved
>>110293019Your manager will get the pussy while you tell the lower employees that fraternization is not allowed.
>>110293057lol middle management got let go thanks to AI, and the CTO already have plenty
>>110292908I dont get everyone knows that already.
>>110292908where's the general? i wanna read the links
>>110293002Average frog experience.
>>110293002you bloody benchod
>>110293019are you retarded? reject the girl. she's not going to put out. stop giving foids advantages over downtrodden guys.
>>110293068?replacing middle management with AI is retardedso is believing that hiring le cute nerd girl is a good idea
>>110293225You are talking to the wall here. It's the kind of mentality you are born with
>>110293225If you weren't fingerbanging whores during a college lecture you aren't going to make it into real adulthood anon.
>>110293019Nobody's buying this. HR is staffed exclusively by roasties.
>>110293019god just imagining you irl makes me want to take a shower, vile scum
>>110293402ohh i totally was bro, who didn't??i was a bit of a late bloomer, you know. didnt really start fucking until uni!! always ignoring girls hints!!in uni, you could say i kinda grew up. learned game. im 5' and obese with early balding, but my posture and gym routine were tiptop. girls can sense when you take yourself seriously. they were practically begging for it!there was an autistic guy, who looks like pic related, in my high school class who went to the same uni as me. even he was banging by 2nd year of uni!! the parties are crazy!!
>>110293461That pic totally isn't me guys this is actually me irl.
>Have a tech issue problem or want to raise a ticket>IT has been completely decimated in the past year>"Tell me about your issue and a live agent will come help you.">state my issue>"I understand that your issue is about "X". I will now direct you to a live representative.>"hi this is ramesh, what is your issue?"what the fuck, why does it ask me to type everything over again to explain shit to my live agent. Is this a script? Who approved this script? It annoys me since you can't even copy and paste what you typed in because it goes away. why the fuck did they get rid of our in house IT fuck it makes me so mad that they did the support teams dirty like that.
>>110293692Programming is one thing but IT requires people to fuck with shit. No clue how Cisco/HPE or anyone else thinks AI can just do everything.
How's your izzat looking lately, /twg/?
we need to ban non-tiktok OPs
How do I know if I'm working hard enough? It's my first software job and I always either feel like I'm doing way too much work and should slow down, or that I'm fucking around way too much and should be more productive.
>>110292908>bukowski
>>110293002christ almighty. Get that man a gun to knee cap those nigger zombies
>>110294094Check out how fast your other coworkers are doing their tickets and adjust appropiately.
I deeply regret changing jobs my old job was dysfunctional but manageable although it was a sinking ship. My new one they do everything in such a retarded manner it's almost impressive in a way then my boss creates some narrative about it instead of just admitting it's retarded and fixing it
>>110292908>And honestly?why do you post AI slop
the only reason i work is because i have nothing else to doafter work i wait until i can fall asleep and then sleep as much as possibleand i don't even like workingwhat do you exist for?
Can AI hurry up and take my job so I don't have to work anymore?
>>110294716I rat race because it makes my gf love bomb me and everyone else seethe with envy. I rat race by working,staying fit and studying book whose knowledge has a high ROI
>>110294772Next year Musk will make you redundant and give you universal mega income, just keep waiting bro
>>110294843Than you musk
>>110294716anon, you need dreams and goals in your life. do you not have any?
Is it normal for someone to call you in teams without texting first or am I being absurd thinking that is crazy?
>>110295003Maybe if it's your boss
Everyone always talks about "The Bus Factor", i.e., how big of a blow is it to the team/project if a specific person is suddenly hit by a bus and killed. How much knowledge/capability is lost?My question is: do people get hit by busses often? Is that a common thing?Asking for a fren
>>110295053I think it's a metaphor for when someone finds a better job fren
It's so funny when some woman gets billions of dollars from these tech CEOs through divorce
>>110295053If I may interject, this is preferably called a plane number
>>110294843No, Altman said instead of UBI we'll be given OprnAI tokens
>>110295053I thought it was the bussy factor, as in they find a better bussy
>>110294951no, I'm not 12
>>110293019>casually bragging about contributing to society’s downfall
>>110295387For moving to another plane of existence?
>>110295003there’s this guy that’s constantly calling me at the start of this job to check on meall about stuff that he could simply email me about
so now my company is "ai first", they told us to stop writing code by hand and just use agents all dayi'm doing a mcp for our main product, automating repetitive stuff but idki have more time now, less mental load but i feel like i'm being castrated
>>110292908>had a google meet between me, my boss and a little local law firm>the main user of my software is a cutie with massive boobas>I will work with herholy fuck that makes the job harder and harder
accidentally became important at work and it's ruining my life.
>>110295417>no, I'm a slave to the wagelmao, imagine being a literal robot, and happily brag about itI'll enjoy early retirement while fucking your mom :^)
I want to kill myself in the most painful way possible
>in a lull period at work>manager said it's a good time to work on publications and reading up on our next big projectWow forever it is
>break room snacks restocked today>already out of the hello panda cookieswhat the FUCK!!!!!!!!
> this thread is still aliveMythos is out, Fable is out, the industry is cooked.
if you could sue your employer after being laid off to get, say, $10k more than the severance (without risking anything except being banned for life from joining that company), would you?
the clearance life is actually comfymanagers are actually chill and will let you take your timeplus you don't even see them as much
>manager asking me why I have vscode open>senior engineer asking me why I have claude code open
>>110297342No—that sort of thing will instantly flag you for all AI screenings since it's a matter of public record. Even internal business things will go into your work number record. Anyone who hasn't been a saint will never get a job again.
>>110297419thanks,, chatgpt>that sort of thing will instantly flag you for all AI screenings since it's a matter of public record.huh, that's an angle I hadn't even thought of. guess I'm not doing shit.
>I wake up>I see what the agents fucked up while I'm sleeping. I feel too tired to fix it already>I get in my dying 20 year old toyota and drive to work>The alarm system hangs while I try to enter the code because of their retarded single threaded UI and I nearly get the police called on me.>I go over to my workstation and wait 10 minutes while Windows does whatever the fuck it's doing so I can open our ERP and clock in>I check on what the AI agents here fucked up>I prompt them to fix it>Outlook opens and then crashes a few times, then my inbox finally loads>It's five spam emails from OpenAI>I try to open teams but it just never loads for some reason>One of the agents comes back, I check git diff, it looks ok I guess so I push it. >coworker has his agent review the PR, suggests some more slop documentation>boss gets mad teams isn't updated, has an AI write some stuff about it>I vibe code a video game to cheer up while I wait for stuff from the four other parallel agents.>It comes back, it wrote a whole class for this one trivial change, maybe I should just fix it myself.I feel like I'm slowly descending into hell.
>>110293730>Did you try turning it off and on again?>Did you try asking chatgpt?
>>110293002When I worked their my whole team was white guys and this one East Asian who creeped me out a bit. I wonder how their doing now.
>>110297443NTA but occasionally I still get asked about a criminal court case where I was found not guilty during those screenings.
>>110295938Just relax and enjoy it. You could get fired but you could get fired over a zillion other things. You'll go insane if you don't do this.
>>110292908I wish I had been content instead of ambitious. I probably would have stayed in my home town and gotten married to that girl my mom wanted me to.
>>110297690shut up retard, she would've wanted chad instead
>>110297702She was single and would write me physical letters until I showed up to my sister's wedding with a girlfriend. She got into her first relationship after that, afaik it didn't work out and she moved back in with her parents afterwards. I feel kind of bad about it.
>>110297553nuclear bombs when
>>110295404Ack! Worthless trash!
>>110293269Middle management doesn't do anything besides create problems to keep themselves employed
>check my "senior engineer" coworker's calendar>4 hours of meetings a day>always takes 1 hour lunch>leaves 30m early or arrives 30m lateso when does this nigga actually do work
>>110298637More than you know, but less than you hope for.
>>110293692>why does it ask me to type everything over again to explain shit to my live agent.Humiliation ritual
>>110298637I am de facto on call 24/7 to fix the stuff you juniors either caused or can't fix yourself. I work in the evening because it's the few precious hours when I am *not* constantly bothered with "hey, got a quick question" notifications on Slack/Teams/Outlook from you or any of the tech-illiterati (SM/customers) so that's when I can actually get some work done. And by all means you can have the meetings where leadership tries the fourth company reorg in an equal amount of years and refuses to listen to "five managers and one baker are still not going to produce more bread" arguments.Coming in late and having long lunch breaks are the few precious benefits I get.Now go do your tickets.
Hope you guys are prepared for alot of things, job loss, food shortages, fuel/utility price increases, a potential war with China ie fuck your mechanic tools, power tools, electronics which affect more of the economy than the regular consumer shit being sold from both countries.
>>110299332why would there be a war with china?
>>110299416Because of Taiwan. They want to finish their civil war from before WW2.
>>110295755castration is good actually, you know how when you get a house cat and they're not neutered they'll be more aggressive and trying to fuck and stuff like that? When you neuter them they'll get all cuddly and fat and cozy up to you.
>>110299465For health reasons you do that after they mature but that's more of a concern for dogs. Cats live much longer in house vs in the wild its unreal difference regardless of what you do to them.
>>110299432will i get a captured chinese wife if we win
>>110299486It might end in a stalemate where you get sent over there for the new matriarchy as reparations anon.
>>110299508it sounds like an improvement over my current way of living
>>110299432chinese civil war was won by the commies. japan surrendered taiwan and the pescadores to the Allied Forces. the Allied Forces control taiwan, not the Republic of China who only administer it. the USA are the people who can return taiwan and the pescadores to PR China. Republic of China are just the software layer of Taiwan and the Pescadores, hardware is actually USA&UK
>>110299332I work in defense with a security clearance so I’m not that worried. If anything my pay would increase kek.
>>110299667In your case better than a recession. Imagine getting unlimited OT and having all contracts get converted into salary exempt or whatever flavor the state you are in uses. WHEW the money from working 6x12's would be absurd.
>>110295053Don't worry about it.Either the organization you work at is too small to be able to afford to fallbacks on a team.Alternatively, the org is too big and the MBAs have started penny pinching so they can't afford to hire more technical people.
>>110299674i also work at a defense contractor and lol. lmao. its not like the movies, bud
>>110299716But i watched tons of war movies are you saying its not the case anon? Are you saying you actually aren't a clone of snake in disguise? Surely the truth will rise to the top when we find out right?
Okay time to get started on the new project. First things first, completely wireframe the whole thing. Wait or maybe C4 diagram first.
Another thousand line claude plan for complex cross repo work that I didn't read before clicking the auto button.
I'm a luddite and I vibe coded at work for the first time this week. Just some tests but I feel like a fraud.
>>110300196YOU DID WHAT??!?!?!??!?!?!
I'm a private subcontractor and I'm waiting for the day they throw me out. Cmon faggots, do it.
>>110299332>muh war with chinaLook at what happened to US bases in the middle east and come back
I am really concerned about the apparent quietness on networking front regarding AI usage when you think of it, configuring a couple of swithces and firewalls is several orders of magnitude less complicated than programming and yet programming is getting raped by clankers and not networking
>>110299674sounds like you should stop believing everything you see on the internet
>>110300333But i have never gotten wrong info from 4chins anon
>>110300330no one actually understands networking and even the biggest techbros treat the internet, possibly the greatest wonder of the world and sole example of every country on earth actually cooperating, as a given that le just werks
>>110300330AI can't replace networking chads regardless of how much Cisco shills SD-WAN.
>>110300346>>110300365except since I had started using it 5-6 months ago it almost never fails megranted, I do not deal with complicated network engineering, it's mostly local networks that need 10-15 switches to be configured but still it does everything I ask it to do
>>110292908Hypothetically speaking if I had a startup idea that would sort of piss off one group of glowies that are really powerful but foreign, and make some of the glowies here very happy but the currently administration is in bed with the former, and normies would treat me as a folk hero, should I risk dying by suicide?It's basically a money printer and you could just use all the profits on R&D in domains slightly related to this one.>ridiculous profit margin due to the architectural designI'm just not very motivated because I'd ruin my normal life trajectory which would just be working in the finance sector and making a happy salary as a SWE and then maybe becoming an engineering manager. Instead I'm dragged onto the spotlight and I won't be able to remove myself unless I sell which is retarded considering the profit margins and the absence of any debt or VC money needs.
>in standup meeting>everyone finished giving their updates>coworker: "do you guys wanna see [tool he vibecoded] I've been working on?">everyone: "yeah show us!">I drop from the callIs it not enough that they force me to work this way, do they have to shove it in my face all the time
>>110300555There is a certain kind of person who gets 0 social interaction outside of work and we are his hostage while there
desu after I finish vibing up the wireframes, c4 and deployment should I code the FE/BE myself or just have claude do it and not understand it LIKE EXACTLY but I still generally know what it's doing?
>>110300292How can you even see shit on that screen?
>>110300577It's incredible how uninvested I am with my coworkers now. They know almost nothing about me. My entire social life is now completely outside of work. I'm going to have a daughter soon and the only person who knows is my manager because I'm taking parental leave after.
anyone else double tasking?>at home today>work laptop open>other laptop with anime cunny goon material opened up beside it
>>110300577i get 0 social interaction inside and outside of work
>>110300555The permanent underclass meme is pretty funny but it won't be true until we actually get an example of a trillion dollar valuation on a company that retains all of it's equity within a family. Either they go full House of Saud and there's a hundred princes each worth billions walking around or some supreme sovereign that retains all the equity and we never hear the end of the "unfair wealth, tax the trillionaire" rhetoric. I wouldn't be surprised if a future wave of Elon tier rich people start aiming their philanthropy directly to the proles so that they view them as "one of the good ones".It's possible but it requires someone very eccentric, has a genuine moat which is mostly just a headstart, has the spine to say no to buyouts early on and isn't fucking autistic. AI wouldn't have be seen as satanic by normies if Dario and Sam Altman weren't nerds. >>110300577Lol those people who send messages during quarterly callsOn another note, it amazes me how far midwits get in their careers. Some are genuinely braindead and are technically principals or seniors.
>>110300866Humanity didn't face a long enough ice age after the great flood to really matter if midwits are this common.
>>110300610Why would you tell anyone else these things?
>>110295053Your most capable team member is the most likely to be offered a better job with higher pay
>>110300953No. The people who suck up the most and tell the bosses what they want to hear get the better jobs and pay.
>>110300610it's the opposite for meI don't have a social life outside of work but have to blend in during work
what does cisco even do
>>110300866>I wouldn't be surprised if a future wave of Elon tier rich people start aiming their philanthropy directly to the proles so that they view them as "one of the good ones".What do you think was this all along?
>>110301379They are the lead of networking hardware but really lack in quality. Basically imagine if Apple was 10 times shitter than it actually is and had the same position on the marketplace as windows. That's Cisco.
>>110300491do you want to compete against Palantir?you could try, I guess.
>>110299332two more weeks
>>110293002Is that Jensen?
How do you cover up a 4 year resume gap
>>110301762
>>110301449I meant more like $1 billion a year in a scholarship that skips the typical charity, endowment, NGO obfuscation and you give kids credit cards with your own fucking name on it like a narcissist. Genuinely, if I had that kind of money I'd do that out of the goodness of my own heart. I struggled working full time during school and studying, being able to help one kid not go through that would be amazing, but thousands a year? Maybe tens of thousands? I don't see how you wouldn't be a saint amongst normies as long as you didn't sperg out. >>110301493Yes. The architecture fits exactly what a major Palantir customer said they'd rather have instead of Palantir but no competitor is doing it for various reasons. How pissed would they be if they lost out on a major intelligence source + hundreds of millions in revenue? If it just was money, I wouldn't be so scared but there's so much value to glowies in having up to date signal intelligence like this. The fact they can't just coerce me into doing the same is the problem.But Palantir's stock collapsing isn't even the biggest fiscal impact, an adjacent problem could be solved that would crash an entire non tech sector overnight if I'm allowed to burn all my profit on this one computationally expensive task >spending hundreds of millions in GPUs and several months of continuous processingI'm genuinely shocked that no one in any of the labs is bothered with solving this. I guess it's one of the sorts of gambles you can't entertain if you have investors to answer to.
>company spends over a million for ai after laying off my coworkers (my mentor too)>Ai shit not working>boss Tasked me and my team to hire everyone back despite it not being out job>They want a 15% increase >Boss tells us to double down with ai and forget itWhy do people like this exist? We got more holes in our code now and work twice as much after clocking out. Wtf is the goal here
>>110293190He was too based
>>110301484You could have just said ‘the intel of networking equipment’
>>110302081Intel makes the CPU's for Cisco so it wouldn't be Apt for the comparison. Cisco, Apple, and Microsoft are largely software sellers at the end of the day. Apple just went back to hardware recently and microshit barely invests into RISC/ARM.
The fuck am I supposed to do today? Fucking Wednesday holiday.
>>110302104I have no idea why my office has Fridays we have zero work after the first 2hrs of work(fake and gay meetings) is done.
I'm the anon who was assigned to development of agents for their whole area. Now we just found out someone consumed all the credits kek. I'm honestly learning along everyone, nobody knows how this works, but if they keep paying for this, then I don't mind.
>>110302004Wut
Alright just finished slopping up the wireframes, c4 and erd, time to get started buliding the frontend, byhandnow that I have a rough draft blueprint
>>110302065It's going around, man. Everyone is convinced they can do twice the work with half the people, but they forget there's more to this shit than what you push to a repository at the end of a feature commit.I'm on a temporarary contract after not one but two entire team restructurings. Nobody knows if I'm getting rehired or not. The job market is slow as fuck right now too. Every single position has a VP or C-suite asking why can't AI just do it.Our CMO just asked in a budgeting meeting why we're even writing IaC in Terraform instead of just having a LLM write the AWS synth output directly. We explained nobody can read that shit and trying to spot diffs is nearly impossible. He said he wanted to be sure we were just trying to protect our positions.Since I'm a short timer anyway, I told him yeah, we absolutely were. Becuase the company let go a dev who fucked up a series of GraphQL queries so bad we ended up having to get lawyers to negotiate down a $80k bill from a vendor that month. So fuck yeah, we're protecting our positions.I don't think I'm getting rehired. So be it. If leadership isn't going to trust the people they hire, this place is doomed anyway.
In my experience it's generally not worth job searching at the end of the year, should I expect it to pick up again at the end of January or really the start of spring time? It's a huge pain in the ass to search while working full-time and most of the listings I see at the moment are forever postings that never get filled so it doesn't seem worth the effort.

>>110295003it is, if anything, rude.calling it crazy is a bit much tho.you don't complain if people call you on the phone without texting out first, do you?just don't pick up, say you're busy and tell them to state the issue and you'll see when you can get back to them.they'll get the memo
>>110297342why 10k?sue them for millions. you're not going to win either way, might as well make it scarier for them

If you got laid off but a similar position opened up at the same company, would you apply? Assuming the company has no issue with it.
>worked at a firm from age 23-31>got fed up with job, wanted to take a break>spent 8 months abroad in Japan + other countries>get back home, spend summer and now some fall months just relaxing and not really looking for jobs>getting the urge to travel again after getting a 3 year visa in Taiwandude I just DONT want to work in an office again, all the job listings are 5 days in the office and I have no idea how AI has changed all this shit since it was not really integrated at my company when I left in September 2025. I luckily still have plenty of savings but the feeling of burning it without a steady income does weigh on you after time away from work. I should probably just try to build a remote business with claude or something and live off that
