What is the point of "work", philosophically speaking?

Why are poors still mad at techfags

Techfags are the poors now

Breaking your spirit so that the elite can take advantage of you without you resisting

This is sweet karma. I remember all the techfags bragging about their WFH donothing jobs during the pandemic.

I have 5 figs and if I sell a couple of things I could retire, although the reason I keep working is because it gives me a certain purpose
Sometimes when people tell you that you're doing a good job, it can make you feel really good too, I even bet on things like shido sometimes to remember the old days
Even if you have everything, if you don't do anything meaningful you'll end up getting depressed

Also the whole learn2code meme from 2014 until 2020

Philosophically speaking its to provide purpose and meaning

They started getting super cocky around the mid to late 2010's. Not too long ago it was just nerdy people who liked computers. Then it turned into people making $200k to do nothing talking down to people with real jobs. The total complicity with globohomo and the strange cultish messiah complex they recently developed doesn't help either.

I don't like what happened to the tech job-market, but if there was ever an industry that deserved to be humbled, it was tech. Money-chasing workers producing valueless slopware.

>>60642684
>This is sweet karma
most of the techfags bragging about their WFH donothing jobs during the pandemic still have their jobs. It's the juniors that are facing an impossible hiring situation.
I say this as a techfag with a donothing WFH tech job that has a younger brother who put in significantly more effort than me. He lives at home, doing temp contracts with the hopes that he can land on something more permanent.

>>60642656
how do you even do it when everyone expects you to be some tony stark peter parker wizkid motherfucker who mains github in their spare time like it's pokemon for the most entry level bullshit?


Feels fake and gay ngl.

this.
it's to train you to hang your head and listen when someone with a higher job title tells you to do something instead of hitting them in the face with a hammer and asking them to be quiet

>>60642669
Art history majors give up quickly and work other jobs immediately, or continue doing art on the side while working part time.

Computer science majors have a lot more pride in their education, so they spend way more time applying for work as an unemployed person, and finally give up and work "lower" jobs many years after art grads.

Immensely satisfying watching these fags get BTFO. No other group swallowed and promulgated the corporate propaganda that only the hard sciences and maximising salary/profit mattered for society. Now they're being absolutely gutted by this same mentality as companies bring in jeets and AI to replace them.

Learn to stack shelves I guess lmao

>>60642684
good times.

Work is why we became the dominant species. It is in our DNA and it makes us feel better
The problem is not work it's our shitty culture in general

Up until the complete destruction of family and community ties in the last 50 years your job was your entire identity and how you slotted into society.

>>60642684
I lost my shelf-stacking job due to the pandemic while my computer science degree never got a chance to get off the ground. Isn't that even sweeter?

>>60642650 (OP)
I have a job, and got one relatively easy after my education
Very confident that AI won't replace me, because it is by all means an actual science. AI doesn't write efficient code, and telling it "hey optimize this code for X CPU architecture" when the codebase is millions of lines doesn't really help
Only the low-end generic software dev jobs are actually threatened by AI because those don't require thought, and the quality of code can be dogshit

>>60642684
There's like mathematics to how big of a group can maintain a secret, and looks like people just couldn't shut the fuck up about the one good thing going for them in their lives.

Video games prove most men love work if they feel rewarded per work they do. Nobody wants to work themselves to exhaustion so somebody else makes more profit.

Philosophically speaking there isn't one, we work because we live in a society that does not permit us to live without working
The only difference between capitalism and communism is that under communism they shoot you for not working instead of waiting for you to starve to death
this unnecessary expenditure of ammunition is why communism is generally held to be the less efficient economic model

>>60645246
It is impossible to derive meaning or purpose from the act of working
Anyone who claims otherwise is lying, either to you or to themselves

>>60642669
Unemployed CS grad here. Should I go back to school for an art history degree?

>>60642650 (OP)
I'd love to do this job if there were no indians or niggers and the pay could afford me a wife, three kids, two cars and a home to comfortably fit them all in.

>>60642650 (OP)
It gives a human some core-value, in the bible it says “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.”. I always thought that an honest, hard work makes a human filled with more value, even more if you are a man.

>>60642650 (OP)
otherwise you die

>>60642656
I don’t really make a lot, I drive a shitbox, and live well below my means. But holy shit do tradies lose their mind when they find out what I do. It blows my mind how much rage it gets when they find out I have a CS degree and can actually program. It’s nothing but unprovoked “I make more than you and I shovel shit for living. AI is going to replace your job. Should have learned a trade.” Sorry I spent the last ten years busting my ass and it triggers an unsolicited rage in you bro.

>>60648991
I’m a doctor and i enjoy helping other people. Of course this requires one to not be some seething sperg.

>>60649465
You got me

Sex is sold for money directly, you don't need a job, you just need money.
People keep saying sex when they mean stable relationship.

Its really not, people have just lost their way, as is tradition.

>>60645259
you thought there was another reason?

>>60642650 (OP)

To support humanity. Every job plays a role in keeping our world going, in one way or another. If people did not work, humanity would collapse. Work is one of the most important and fundamental experiences in the human condition. Its why so many die soon after they retire. The feeling on longer contributing and helping your fellow man is absolutely soul crushing

ive been unemployed for some weeks now and I couldn't agree more. not sure how autist NEETs can bear this lifestyle. there's a reason why my 82 y/o uncle refuses to go on pension.

>>60642650 (OP)
Well, it's either that or going back to the crop fields so I can live another winter or something.
I'm content with my comfy WFH job responding to a few emails a day and having 10 weeks of paid leave, I honestly think I have it better and in easy mode compared to my ancestors.
But I sure wouldn't mind "work" in general being entirely done by machines, but I'm not sure it'll be a good end for mankind as a whole.

>>60650187
Fuck humanity. Wipe it all out.

What's wrong with those jeans?

You did learn to code, right, anons?

>>60642684
Still WFH. Do slightly more than nothing these days but making $160/h. It's a lot comfier than my previous tradie career. Keep coping though little buddy.

Tips for those trying to make it in tech: hone your soft skills. network. present at conferences as often as you can. yes you have to know the technicals but in the age of Copilot etc that's a lot less important than being likable and keeping the spaghetti in your pockets.

This isn't 2003 anymore anon, go buy some shorts that show off you thighs, some dockers, and a white button up

>>60642662
It doesn't work

>>60642656
have you not seen the difficulties of even getting into tech now? iirc from the place i was usually posting at, one cs grad was unemployed. literally same stuff as me a business degree holder. ive been seeing how that degrees value is plummetting and went against the idea of going back to college. unironically gambling it on financial markets and my personal venture to escape the wagecage beats dropping $40k+ for a CS degree and end up in the same position i already am in
