Show the security team that you have access to another database in the hopes that it'll be overcome with greed and drop access to the original database.

I want to behead the people who thought that "ctor" was a good abbreviation for "constructor"

P sure LinkedIn just became even less usable

>>105623219
I haven't written a single abbreviation in years and I decline every pr that has one.
I already do enough mind reading with upper management to also decipher your fucking variable names.

>>105623231
What about prefixes like btn, tbl, etc?

>>105623256
No abbreviations.

I assume he meant cutting down on actual workers and not managerial bloat.

>>105623312
Gen AI is going to have a massive upswing, hit the point of diminishing returns, and everyone is going to realize it's not actually that smart after all and can't do a humans job, only for a massive bubble to burst and take down a ton of companies

Should i message a recruiter even though they weren't listed on the job posting?
A position opened up where I really want to work at and even though I applied pretty early I'm afraid of getting looked over
I don't even know what to message them. "Hey I saw this posting that I am a strong candidate for, can I learn more about *company*?"
I'm over thinking this but I REALLY need this job
Help

They're still hiring and outsourcing to jeets despite being provably shit, what makes you think AI would be any different?

AI is not a person and can not be held reliable for anything. You can fire a person who fucks things up, you can't fix an AI program that does.

Not to mention, AI could keep you in loops forever if it screws up, give patently wrong information, and has a much easier time of making things up. Would you want to pick up a ticket where someone worked with an AI program for an hour? Who knows what they were told, what they tried, etc. At least with another human you can ask questions and they'll remember

>>105623410
>Would you want to
You don't get a choice in the matter, the boss has decided it'll save $X so you have to deal with it.

>>105623425
What's going to really decide the future of AI here is the first time it's brought into a legal case. When someone sues a company because they were told by what they could assume was a human "Your car is under warranty and won't cost you a dollar", and then they bring it in to be told "No, that was wrong, and here's the bill", the ruling on that will kill it dead or help it beyond a reasonable level.

If a judge rules anything that Matt Beaver Chevrolet's AI says is going to be held against them, and they have to accept what it tells consumers, it's going to be shut down immediately. If it rules the company can not be held accountable for anything the AI says, it's going to take over in a matter of days

You know the funny thing is, of all typical corporate work, software engineer is one of the hardest to outsource to AI. All pretty ironic.

Sure but that's just for support. It's probably going to get to the point where it replaces a junior programmer, and it'll be a really bad junior but it'll be very cheap so you'll be forced to put up with it (again, like you're forced to deal with jeets).
And in other industries

>So the lawyer using the AI gave you wrong information, it's the lawyer's fault for not double checking

>>105623454
this has already happened and the result as usual is basically "who has more money" and "who does the judge hate more"
tesla has been sued to no avail for people dying thanks to its autopilot, lawyers have used AI-hallucenated cases as precedents, etc.

>>105623229
Did they redo the UI?

>>105623814
They changed the job search function so rather than

> (job title) (location) [(relevant filters)]

You enter a plaintext query and their AI compiles a list of posts.
No you do not have the option of reverting this.

If you hate jeets in big tech, you should know that their time is ticking before they're considered a security threat to hire (similar to how Chinese ultimately became that).

Israel basically pwned Iranian airgaps by forcing a full-stack betrayal bleed: 25 years of RAW-Mossad wetware riding India's labor API now broadcasting SIGINT cancer across every Gulf node. That 'innocent' diaspora? Wasn't a bug, it was the ultimate RAT firmware.

Mossad wrote rootkits, RAW compiled human .dlls, and TCS/Wipro containers shipped the poisoned dependencies.

Now the compile fails hard: Tehran's OPSEC dumps show Indian techs as meat-based backdoors, Qatar firewalls flagged L&T binaries as Trojan payloads, and GCC states are purging all desi packages. New Delhi's consular screams just confirm the pwn log.

they arent going to make any meaningful changes. the people with the power to make anything happen in this regard will stall as long as absolutely possible and claim they cant do anything because theres not enough talent in the US labor pool.

theres gigantic breaches in major companies every other week causing millions of dollars of damages, and literally 30% of our domestic workforce is indian. wow i wonder why thats happening? not even counting offshoring either.

its so ridiculous you have to wonder if theres some sort of state collusion already to make the situation as bad as it is.

>>105623934
>if theres some sort of state collusion already to make the situation as bad as it is.
there is, it's called the H1B Visa program

>consoomers are retarded goy cattle who don't actually care if the product they consoom is any good
>jeets (and soon AI as proooompted by jeets) can make/maintain these products at lower cost than actual humans and are willing to work in inhumane conditions
>execs and managers aren't rewarded for making good, lasting products; they are rewarded for quarter-to-quarter financial performance, and reducing employee overhead instead of making more popular/higher profit margin products it is easiest to "boost KPIs" to just fire everyone and replace them with 9 iq retards using free tiers of chatgpt

>>105623867
Isn't their whole value add supposed to be that they have all that metadata so you don't have to use some dumb AI scraping tool like that? How retarded are they?

I've only worked shitty service jobs but was in and out of mental institutions for 2 years. Don't have a degree either. Should I just do the comptia certs, ccna, or a degree+ certs? I'm probably going to kill myself if I work another 6 months doing physical shit or food

The boss is forcing us to find new ways to use AI to be "more productive". I'm positive he's gonna use it to justify future layoffs. How to sabotage?

>so fucking burnt out of work almost everything my boss tells me or asks me has me seething.
I can't tell if it's the burn out or if the ways he's doing things is extremely fucking dumb. One thing we're doing is duplicating data so we have historical data since our software overwrites the old information with the new information even if it doesn't make sense. Did anyone bitch? Did audit have a shit fit? Nope. He just thinks it'll be an issue in the future. I have the biggest what the fuck are we doing almost everytime he talks. Then again maybe it's the burn out that's making me have a melty everytime.

>>105624394
Just don't do it. I posted here quite a bit but one of my automation project laid someone off so Idrc if they fire me anymore but I've started going "nope not working on this anymore" and I just sideline it everytime it gets brought up.

Either everyone that greenlighted this project is part of a scam or they are all retarded. It is so soul crushing the work at such a place but the pay and benefits are great

>>105623066 (OP)
just had the most painful interview with a potential candidate bros. dude wouldn't shut the fuck up about videogames, didn't know what REST was, what an optional parameter was, and was just overall brain meltingly awful. whatever you guys do, study design patterns before your interviews and don't come across as a know-it-all jag and you'll go far.

I was looking up body armour for job and salt unrelated reasons and TIL that apparently there's some cybersec library cert thing called ESAPI

There is no way it wasn't on purpose that techbros called their dogshit java library for encrapting messages spat out by and for java applets(idk its own site does not include an elevator pitch) the exact same thing as (anti-)rifle plates. Their SEO is on point (and I only learned of it because the top page of results were this software thing instead of ceramic armor plates) and the plates predate the library by 15 years and just have the misfortune of not being a trademark because it's a military specification and not an individual product.

Why are techbros like this? Why are techbros so obsessed with appearing "tactical"?

>>105624812
>I was looking up body armour for job and salt unrelated reasons
choose life bro temporarily embarrassed employment isn't worth the full send

>>105624762
It is a retarded corp term. They create a small temporary team that works on a specific task often exclusively. When the project is done (or cancelled) the devs go back to their own team(s)

>>105624786
REST API idk what the fuck that is but all I know is you just do Put Push Get Post commands to do integration through applications so business owners get horny.
Optional parameter is just stuff to filter I guess? idfk. you guys using postman?

>>105624786
>will make you look great by showing how shitty he is
>will be the first person to be fired when there are cuts
You surely hired him?

Incredibly based.

>>105624830
>REST API idk what the fuck that is but all I know is you just do Put Push Get Post commands
you're just ever so slightly more competent than the guy we interviewed. you don't have to go full webdev if you don't wanna but a cursory knowledge of how web applications work shows at least a smidge of useful technical knowledge.
>Optional parameter is just stuff to filter
it's easier than that anon
public int SomeFunction(int var1, int var2, int optVar = 0)

Take a break for 1 year and learn how cushy SWE is compared to literally anything else. You’re more likely to find a coasting job where you’re at than you will anywhere else. Do a trade I guess but you’ll be working from dawn till dusk and still have to attend classes for 4 years next to felons, drug addicts, and genuinely the dumbest human beings you’ll ever interact with in your life

>>105625165
How should I protect myself? Because later I'm ccd on an email that "hey here's the power point (WITH ZERO ADDITIONAL EDITS) and here's anon ccd who's taking the lead on this"

What the fuck? Or I tell someone they don't need to be on Ethernet to use a printer then today the printer is throwing a ton of errors, I'm remote but the guy reaches out to me because it's not printing as if I'm messing with it from home.

>get no response

though i guess i did cry deeply enough or scream loudly enough at some point that now there's a rule that guests have to specify exactly what they want and preferably provide a full program before borrowing our space. of course the building manager who schedules these things instead of me who actually schleps around and sets it up is the one who gets a coin, a BZ, and a promotion.

>>105625204
are you a tech, or even just a local friendly face for fix-it stuff? if it's literally your job to deal with that then ofc they're emailing you; they dont think you're messing with it, you're just the only point of contact they know. and if you're just the guy that tends to help, in any organization there's a proclivity to ask who you know before submitting a ticket. it usually gets resolved faster, and honestly, the people who already know eachother tend to do better work for eachother. even as glorified hell desk myself, there's a certain measure of "You didn't hear this from me, but..." for users I don't hate.

>>105625235
Don't worry, eventually you'll stop caring.

>>105625235
But I'm not helpdesk. I was working on their network and gave him advice on using the printer any time they wanted using the VPN and the first second the printer has some question that he probably caused that day, I get an IM. This makes me not want to help users anymore because they're retarded.

>>105625265
occasionally i almost get there but then they'll break my satori by offering me another course i need or some proper 9-to-5 work or something and my true nature comes out (i care at least a little bit and recognize that my not only is my iq is too low but i genuinely do not have the raw ambition for anything beyond support)

>>105625311
>This makes me not want to help users anymore because they're retarded
LUSERS are just that; but as a wide pool of "computer people" we're here to make it easier for others to do their actual work. Even actual end products that are themselves true work, we're here to write the models and scripts to access them, not generate new useful data ourselves.

If you don't like being demoted to helpdesk, stop helping LUSERs. Be firm and tell them that it's not your job. If you still feel nice after that, maybe keep the contact info for who actually is and tell them to flood that mailbox instead.

>>105625347

I'm at a coworking space (like WeWork) there’s a Tourette’s autism type guy who has the most insane tics and occasionally his spazz outs are so loud and aggressive that it’s just hard to not look away (which is what ppl do most of the time).

His tic is literally screaming "I dont KNOW i don't KNOW" and then making this bizarre moaning, almost retching noise noise like he's about to throw up. Most of the time, absolutely no one looks at him and I learned really quickly that this is the resident tourrettes autist tic guy

But like once or twice a day he has a tic that is so loud and aggressive you just cannot ignore the fact that there's a retarded man having a very loud breakdown in the coworking space that we all pay a couple hundred bucks a month for

thats what you get for doing your job from the equivalent of a cafe with fast wifi but you pay hundreds of dollars to rent instead of nursing one cappuccino all day

>>105625551
is there any benefit to using coworking spaces when you work from home? like why wouldn't i just stay home which is cheaper and comfier?

>>105625502
yes the beef with the horseradish sauce was good, the potatoes were good, the roll was good
too bad about the asparagus, i ate it though so my piss will still be weird for a day or so i guess
anyway, eating lunch was pretty much all the work I did today, can't wait to get laid off

>>105625575
>>105625587
I've been working from home for a few years now and I'm losing my fucking mind. I drive over to the coworking space at 1 PM avoid rush hour and get shit done.

My mental and physical health was deteriorating because I was becoming an absolute shithead coomer from WFH. Needed a change of pace. I currently still much prefer my coworking space despite the fact that there's an actual retarded man with violent autism outbursts about 30 feet from me every day

>"UH HUH, SUUUURE ANON"
>conspiciously marks up my resume in red pen
If networking knowledge wasn't necessary for the job why did he need to pick on me for that? because he needed an excuse to not hire (and probably beg for an H1B equivalent)

>>105625568
Kek wab

>>105625587
the actual non-meme answer for people who aren't coomers or are incapable of working near where their video games are is they generally have faster wifi and comfier furniture than you would at home, and you can borrow certain equipment you might not have wanted to buy yourself 10 years ago (high end headsets, good webcams, etc). many locations also have an on-site cafeteria or at least a cafe, but they have office furniture including sound-dampening dividers and shit so it's easier to work from than just hitting up starbucks.

these days they've pivoted more to what convention centers used to do -- the idea now is to cater to startups that dont have a physical office but still need a boardroom for meetings/conferences. some non WeWork™ equivalents are straight up just timeshares but for offices instead of vacation homes so you even get to store stuff there.

>>105625026
no clue honestly. even if you didn't if you make anything that interacts with the internet in some capacity you'll probably use a REST API.
>>105625663
he alleged that he used C# for four years at his job (p sure that's a lie) and modding games (possibly a lie, all his repos were open source projects)
i always knew them as conditional arguments or something like that but i think the proper name is optional parameters yeah. before working here i didn't even use that much C# but still knew you could just based off looking at some random source code.
>>105625705
i think knowing what the feature is called is less important than knowing the feature exists, and he just did not wanna use it. basically everyone on the panel no'd the fuck out of him.

i got a phone screen to work at a defence contractor and am fully intending on lying about how many electronic devices i've built. but is it really "lying" that hard if i say i've done proper padhacking when really i just soldered lines to the test pads of a 360 controller and hit it with a multimeter to check continuity instead of carrying on soldering actual buttons in (to my credit, the solder joints were good; wiggling them to test strength, the test pad came off before my joints did)

Maybe I'm retarded. but starting to consider enrolling in some sort of in person masters program for CS. Night classes. I work remote and can basically live wherever I want, so my options for programs are not limited.

Probably a better use of my time than smoking pot and playing video gaymes all night after work. Would be nice to have an excuse to get out of the house after work and maybe meet some new people, especially as a single 24 year old.

SSL has nothing to do with networking though. I mean yeah, it's often used together with networking, but in the eyes of a tech hiring manager networking and security/cryptography are basically 2 orthogonal areas. In any case evidently the hiring manager was smart to ask that question, because you did basically the absolute bare minimum having to do with SSL, what you mentioned is hardly even a skill worth putting on your resume so he basically just exposed you putting fancy words on your resume to sound more valuable than you are

at a point where I could give a fuck if I get fired from this job after my next stock vest in august cause im only making 260k next year instead of 310k like i am this year due to the 4 year cliff, fuck them. I sure as fuck don't deserve any of this money and I really wonder if I'll be able to get another high paying job after this but at the same time I didn't make it this far by bending over and taking it up the ass from these companies

Anon is probably just bad at interviews. He fucked up but I've seen worse resume padding.

>>105626939
This. The guy had a "gotcha" moment and he was actually right, anon had to handle it better.

This is why I'm full schizo with interviews, I always plan ahead thinking about what to say regarding everything. Every single tiny bit of info that could possibly be used against me. Then I instantly provide a good enough answer, which makes the HR guy feel that I'm very dependable and prepared. Never failed. All I have to do is get to the interview if that happens, I'm in.

What are my chances of getting into big tech?

>>105625179
can't so trades wirhout taking a 2 yeaes degree + 1 year combined with an apprenticeship.
Can't coast in tech withiout a vagina or a shit skin, instead you get 80 hour workweeks and ger fired on the spot for asking for raises 6 months in, making you unemployable for the rest of time because you must be flaky lazy and terrible for not being at the same company for 2 years. You have never had a tech job.

Now that I have 5 yoe, I can say that I was grossly overcompetent for the job market when I was 13. And programming classes in high school didn't exist in my days.

>>105628433
Bro.
I have a phd, 5 years of exp, fagman exp, projects on github including full compilers in handwritten x86 assembly..I can't get an interview. People with 20 years of exp that recently got laid off can't get interviews. You count as 0 years of exp and 0 education.

AHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAH

>>105629619
I think I got lucky. They wanted someone who had a combination of low level knowledge and high level software development practices experience (CI/CD, pull requests to integrate code, etc), so they are willing to put up with me not having embedded job experience

I do have to eat a shit sandwich to make this change though: i go from full remote to 3 days in the office each week, and the pay is okay but not great.

If you want this change, i recommend looking for entry level roles and write an email to the boss directly, rather than just applying on linkedin. You could consider startups as well, they tend to ask for less experience

>>105629600
>>105629615
They told me in the interviews that the languages I need to be good at are C and modern C++, so I'm studying them as much as I can. They also asked me if i know about Rust, so i may have to order estrogen hormones soon

There actually was a guy who tried to break into the medical industry a few years back with a med-prescribing bot he designed to make doctors' jobs easier. He shopped it around at different hospitals and doctor's offices before realizing, to his horror, that most medical professionals simply memorize a big ass list of common medications and the ailments they're used to treat. In other words, he spent years developing a platform that nobody wanted all because he designed it for an industry he knew nothing about.

2021: major worker shortage as post COVID ZIRP policies fuel a spending spree by big tech on hiring, also mass transition to remote
2022: sudden hawkish economic policy causes abrupt pivot, layoffs begin, companies realize full remote means they can just hire cheap Indians
2023: layoffs accelerate, outsourcing to India/South Asia accelerates, at the same time new CS grads and bootcampers flood the industry as they started school while tech was in a "severe jobs shortage", causing a double whammy of labor glut and jobs shortage
2024-now: market is now stagnating in a position of coldness with too many junior level engineers and not enough domestic jobs

OK, so when will the market actually improve?
I have a BS + MS and I've got 2 YoE.

I could see too many juniors being the problem if there were actually any junior jobs, half the listings I see are senior+ and 80% of the rest are mid. No one's hiring juniors full stop.

>>105630723
/utwg/ needs a new thread.

>>105630725
Oh they're hiring them
But they're all in India

>>105630725

But that's the exact problem Juniors/entrys get obliterated, so instead they flood into all other job postings and larp as seniors. Everything is connected. There are still less senior/staff jobs than usual as well.

>>105630759
The only juniors larping as seniors are jeets. Whites tend to have a conscience.

>>105630723
>you might want to check out /utwg/

Not accurate. Layoffs are still happening at some ludicrous level.

>>105630416
Yes, extremely.classic.

>>105630864
Seniors are the main group getting laid off and this is why juniors can't find a job right now

>>105630982
Juniors can't find a job because there are no junior jobs, we've been over this.

There are no junior jobs because the seniors get them before they even go public, and anything else has been shipped to india

Social media has become extremely hostile these days and it's not apparent until you try to make a new account. It's probably one of the many reasons zoomzooms use chink apps instead of goybook because they just don't want to jump through all the hoops.

>>105631135
I've had 3 interviews recently
Only one told me to fuck off afterwards
Other 2 nothing

>>105630864

Nothing about the current dynamic makes any sense at all. It's just short sighted greed. They WANT to work their way to laying off seniors as well, it's just that for now they are mass outsourcing junior/entry level roles and hoping the seniors train them well enough to replace them too. Don't get it twisted, they want to lay every single American/European off, they're just making their way up the chain.

>>105631135
If I go on Indeed and do that "quick apply" thing they have where you basically just send your resume, answer a few basic questions, and that's it, then so be it. Don't reply, I barely put in work

But if you make me make an account on some bullshit 3rd party site to enter in all my information on my resume, by god you better respond to my ass when I send in my application.

I once had an application ask me for my full work experience. Literally every job I've ever had, going back to retail days. At that point I expect to be given the job

>>105631197
I have the same feeling.
In goymoney the new department head wants to offshore to India via "bridge consultants" from bearing point.

>>105631560
Pretty common. I'm white and I get asked sometimes as well

>>105631560
They ask virtually 100% of the time, you stupid niggera. No idea why you monkeys have such a profound persecution complex. You want equal benefits but not equal treatment. Classic porch monkey (or woman) behavior.

>>105631560
Do they not ask you for your work right details over there in the application process?

>>105631574
Okay. I was assuming it was because of all the indians applying in this day and age cause Ive never had that happened before.

Let me paint a picture. You move with her. That means she knows she can do anything and you'll listen. She will cheat on you. She will make your life at home more miserable than it already is. The kids will even resent you. And most of all, she CAN and WILL divorce you cause she has the advantage.

Do not be a fool! Do not move cause she is moving! Do not give up your job because of her! You will look back on my post lost in the archives and you'll say

To "optimize costs". For now there few Indians in the company and none in the management.

This guy is dead set on this. He thinks this will save him $720,000 a year.
This is all to save the company because we are literally on credit hold with 90% of our vendors and past due by 10s of thousands of dollars.
The real problem is they refuse to have enough product on hand to produce the product we sell.
We have about 3.4mil in debt to the bank. 20k-150k past due balances from every vendor we work with.

Unfortunately that's not contained on LinkedIN and the rest of the economy may be working that way as well.

>>105633509
It's not that. Many, if not most, Glassdoor posts run thru indeed. And people still use Glassdoor

The $4k plot of land I bought on the side of a mountain and am building a shed on may turn out to be the best investment I've ever made.

nice tools you got there, bro.

Get me ooooooooooooooooooout
>Working on some feature for a client
>Goes into business testing phase a few weeks ago
>Radio silence from the testers
>Pajeet manager keeps asking me about the project status despite saying it is blocked awaiting their approval
>Says he'll do the needful to figure out the status with business
>Today: notified by <business person> that he's doing a demo now and the env doesn't work
>Test env is broken because I stopped maintaining that branch to do other things
>Ask <business person> if the jeet ever inquired about the status of the testing
>"Uh no he didn't, but I rescheduled the demo for early next week so we're good now"
This guy still hasn't realized that the jeet does absolutely nothing and that these fire drills are preventable if he just "did the needful". I've exposed this jeet several times at several different org levels but they're all too stupid to put one and two together. We aren't even jeet'd as an org, it is just incompetence all the way up the chain.

Was like this at my last job. Culminated in the jeets outpoliticing everyone and every last competent person got laid off, leaving jeet managers with 0 reports and rhe ceo (other execs quit). Company is somehow still going.

I hate Indians so fucking much. If I have to listen to another hour of Pajeets yapping in that horrible accent of theirs, I am going to snap.
Seriously, if Trump revokes a ton of H1Bs and deports my coworkers back to their shithole, the GOP has my vote for life.

your graph doesn't seem to include the current year, looks like it's actually the same data

He probably doesn't know calculus and just sees line go up vs line go down.

>colleague said I have a "hint of humor"
Is this an insult or a compliment? I'm genuinely too autistic to tell

>>105633807
nta but that place got me interviews really easy. Im 100% convinced linkedin is all fake postings

>>105634030
le based trump wont do anything about h1b. he should downsize the program massively. its crazy almost half of all domestic engineers are indians. policy makers are asleep at the wheel allowing shit like that to happen. 40% of domestic engineers being citizens of a foreign, non allied country is so retarded it has to be some sort of intentional self sabotage.

imagine how good the job market would be if he just forced 15% of those jobs to hire US citizens like theyre supposed to. who are we kidding though we need 100k indians with fake experience trained by durgasoft to maintain everything. theres just no americans capable of such incredible feats programming like leaking our data every other week

god everything is gay right now

You aren't going to like it

>>105634628
It is really funny because any decision will upset the other side. Allowing more jeets makes the capitalists happy but upsets the racists. Sending the jeets packing makes the racists happy but upsets the capitalists. I'm having fun watching it unfold because I still have my job but it must suck for everyone else getting jeet'd.

>>105634671
>won't someone think of the poor billionaire capitalists replacing you with third worlders in your country?

>>105634405
it's an insult anon, but who cares, doesn't mean you need to hyperfixate on it

>it's an insult
Fuck, I knew it
How can I change it

>>105633807
it's even more barren than linkedin and indeed in my country, might be more of a US thing

>>105635066
Be less sarcastic and don't use dry humor, better yet just stop caring. My excuse for not going to the company party was "Let's be real I just don't like any of you people" and at this point I am hope they interpreted it literally.

>>105634671
The racist capitalists will be extremely happy though.

coding is so unfulfilling

>coworker called me out for "bikeshedding" when reviewing his PR
>his code didn't even work because he had the wrong variables all over the place and I was showing him a way to prevent that kind of mistake
>scrum master who doesn't code told me to keep my comments relevant because we need to release this quickly
>didn't know how to respond without sounding like an asshole so I just nodded along

Sometimes I wish I could just be a douchebag and not give a fuck what people think

>>105635066
if you're socially retarded for whatever reason just get used to it because people probably insult you like this all the time without you realizing

>>105635624
It's not as obvious as it sounds, because we have a lot of ESLs in our company and all of the other people gave me very positive feedback . So it might have just been a bad use of words

should I always add a cover letter?

>>105623386
Yes, write. You have nothing to lose and if the recruiter is a "go-getter" he will want to show his bosses he is doing work be forwarding you to the good recruiter for your area or taking your case him/herself. Good luck.

>What's going to really decide the future of AI here is the first time it's brought into a legal case.
my brother in Christ the cat is out of the bag already, we have open source models everywhere, even I a complete retard have them in my computer and I can fill them with all my retardation.
aren't you guys abusing AI for everything? I can get so much shit done now I'm happy I didn't hire a couple of software developers last year as I planned to. Claude+Cursor and you can do decent code with the right prompts. Back in the day I would have an idea and take days or weeks to deploy, now I can do in two days.

and yes, corporate girl boss jobs are in danger of being eliminated real soon. i don't see any reason these companies will keep these if we really go into a recession.

Copilot bros.....

I got called out by name for not doing my job today. It wasn't even on my plate and I handed it off to a different team and the blame somehow was going my way.

Wow, I know it's not even on me but I'm now pissed with that team and the fucker that called me out. Haven't had this shit happen to me in 4 years.

>>105636089
deny, deflect, adapt, overcome

never really connected with any coworkers the past 5 jobs i've had. i think i'm always glossed over when it comes to recognition. i think it's time to switch jobs again.

>boss is retarded asshole
>talks out of both sides of his mouth
>will regularly ignore emails for weeks but will have a mental breakdown if i miss a text while shitting
>regularly will blame me for things he did not do
>pretty sure he is embezzling the company from his side gig which he has contractors under
>refuses to actually spend the money at the sites that ask for it
>have not had a performance review in years
>make like 25$ an hour
>job market is ass

how do i escape this hell

>>105636103
Oh, my client handled it but I'm still pissed. Besides, I have all receipts and can cover my ass.

>>105636114
i never put in effort anymore, do as little as possible, use chatgpt to make the things you do sound super important/impactful when you talk with leadership, always agree with your boss/bosses boss even if they're wrong (NEVER QUESTION THEM)
stop caring about your job. if something goes wrong try to deflect blame

>>105636189
this made me realised i always cared too much wanting to do more but always end up hating everything then moving on. i should coast on min effort and do side projs. nice great post thanks

>>105636189
i report to a C suite and they all hate each other, we are not even in the same state so it gets weird and asskissing nonsense is impossible

>>105636189
>always agree with your boss/bosses boss even if they're wrong (NEVER QUESTION THEM)
this is such toxic behaviour. I did it for a while and yes life is easier. but Im way too confrontational and too prideful. no wonder I got fired

>hmm why don't I try falling asleep without watching a YouTube video today
>daemons begin terrorizing me immediately
need less to say, I didn't sleep much, and I'm feeling like crying right now.

fuck sakes bros, I'm a tired faggot today

time for the gym

IT'S A DAY OFF TOMORROW

this company... how can they make money with this dogshit product

>>105625608
I feel this pain. I love working from home but it may be hard to get shit done with all the fucking constant distractions. I have a pregnant wife and a toddler and it's hard to focus. And when I get some calm and free time I often see myself playing dota to "relax"
There are no coworking spaces where I live but I make the coffee shop my bureau at least once a week and I feel I accomplish a lot even if it's not ideal
