Good Rush Hour, I hate tech support and grannies

I love the commute, I love having to shift gears constantly, the uncertainty of it, flipping people off without consequence. I love doing a 2 and a half hour commute to work and another back home, and I'm tired of pretending I don't.

>>105873479
>flipping people off without consequence.
I tried this once when I was a teenager and the other guy nearly ran me off the road.

I love when old people call me at my techie job, I love when I tell them to click a button and they move their mouse everywhere but where the button is located, I love when they are so unprepared I have to end up doing 10 calls in 1. I love when they force me to stay overtime because the call has been going for over an hour Even though I dont get paid for it, and I am tired of prentending I don't

>>105873332
He has a point. Once you've built up enough to escape the rental rat race more money buys almost nothing and isn't really worth worrying about unless it's a windfall.

>>105873532
my record was 45 minutes spent trying reset someone's password

>>105873506
I'll never understand why rural midwestern Americans are so fragile that getting flipped off makes them abandon all sense of self-preservation then proceed to risk getting a felony. When my grandma died, I went back home, and my uncle picked me up from the dallas airport. We were an hour or so out of the city when someone tried to merge in front of him and he wouldn't let them, so they honked, then he got pissed and followed them around. We went out of our way for 10 minutes following this car. Eventually the driver pulled into the drivethrough of a KFC, and my uncle stuck his head out the window and said
>YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME, BITCH?
And the driver, who turned out to be a woman with a child in her the back seat, floored it and got the hell out of there. Again, this was when my uncle was supposed to be driving me to my grieving grandfather's house so we can prepare to bury my Uncle's mother. Some people have such low EQs that they can't help but go full blown retard when someone gives them any negative signal for any reason whatsoever.

For the longest time, I wanted my company to lay me off
But now I want them to just fucking euthanize me

>>105873571

My record is 1 hr and 45 minutes.
It was dealing with some employee who I found out wasn't even supposed to be working until much later trying to gain access to a fucking pain in the ass software that needs fucking extranet access and configurations by some obscure administrators in my organization much higher up than me to even work in the first place

>>105869288
>helps addicts get sober
thats the funniest part of this image. the money in rehab and everything associated with it is such a fucking racket. people that successfully complete rehab have a relapse literally rate over 99% within 1 year. thats not an exaggeration.

if you ever wonder why your health insurance is so expensive, this is part of the reason. those inpatient rehab clinics are paid for by health insurance. some of them have a scheme where they find junkies who are on their parent's health insurance plan, and theyll give them raw cash kickbacks to go into their program. then they just cycle them in and out. its all just mega expensive with some of the worst performance and data ever and people just take advantage of everything

theres a bunch of schemes people have exploiting the addiction industry. a friend of mine who became an addict explained some of it to me but i wasnt paying full attention. he told me he knew a dude making like 500k a year buying houses up and putting bunk beds in them to turn into a sober house which he gets state money for.

the state tosses around money on these programs and all the numbers and data are abysmal. its devolved into people seriously, unironically advocating to just give junkies free apartments with no conditions and 24/7 careteams on the ready. this gets a small percentage of them off the streets. this program is called "housing first"

>>105873571
>I'll never understand why rural midwestern Americans are so fragile that getting flipped off makes them abandon all sense of self-preservation then proceed to risk getting a felony.
Knowing you're wasting close to 10% of your life just traveling to your job you're underpaid for fucks with your head.

I love it when I have a call with the PM about a project and they call me back the next day to "follow up" except they haven't done anything and there's nothing to discuss

>>105873621

i endorse your adventure anon. all you gotta do to get an apartment under a housing first program is make up a sob story. the waiting list for it is not a queue and they prioritize people with whatever their term for 'shitty life' is. then when you get approved you cant be kicked out of the program for any reason. that includes setting fire to your unit and flooding it. thats actually a really common issue in the program according to the HUD. in some rare cases theyll move you to another unit.
once you get approved youre free to get high on meth all day and stress out every living being that has the misfortune of living near you. the programs hope is that maybe youll get bored and decide to get a job.
people will talk about the homeless problem and then talk about how this is actually the scientific, most effective, and cheapest way to handle homeless junkies. they never tell you the numbers or anything.
they sneak these housing first units into a lot of developments everywhere

but i digress... do you want to know why there are so many homeless addicts?
*whispers* capitalism.
capitalism did this. if we all just learned to be decent frickin keanu chunguses we could unite and solve homelessness.

I spent 2hrs today explaining how repo (the tool, I work in android bs, repo is used to set up associated git projects based on a manifest file) works today to a senior windows dev I need a drink and its not even 2

>>105873935
Did somebody say REPO?

OH MY GOD I FUCKING HATE MY TECH LEAD. I swear to fucking god he's the long lost twin brother of Dave Farley or some shit. He lives and breathes everything uploaded to the Modern Software Engineering (/Continuous Delivery) YouTube channel like it's a law of the universe that needs to be adhered to (even when the business side is clearly working the opposite way).

Our codebase is a fucking mess; it's shared by like 6 teams across multiple timezones. Nobody else does TDD. YET FOR SOME FUCKING REASON we have to because our tech lead expects this from us. We have to "use tests to inform our understanding of the system" when some of the existing fucking tests are just assert(true). We have to "use tests do inform our design decisions" when in reality it would take 3 fucking days of refactoring to make the tests actually usable to do so.

I fucking hate this. I just want to do my work and go home. I could write the implementation + required tests to cover it in no time flat, but implementing and following TDD properly in this code base is hell and takes me thrice as long. I've done TDD on my own time and I get it but I just don't understand why we have to hold ourselves to such high standards when nobody fucking else does.

Does anyone else face this kind of bullshit?

>>105874028
>Does anyone else face this kind of bullshit?
Not yet but it's coming. They've suddenly decided to demand 80% coverage on a ten year old project with no unit tests and they're adding sonarqube to the ci/cd.

>>105873802
Don't be antisemitic like that or Dang will teleport into our thread and ban you from 4chan.

I got my Pentest+. Now I just need to go back to failing at job interviews and maybe I can escape tier 2 support for our shitty program.

>>105874079
>80% coverage
>sonarqube
Anon im getting vietnam flashbacks, having to get 80% coverage on java apps and micro services. So the tests ended up being very convoluted in some cases just to get the right dependency injection working in this context so you can test this stupid fucking function because it was never written with unit tests in mind.

Sonarqube is the devil itself. But I will say once the test coverage became mandatory it wasnt really an issue with starting new projects, probably benefited in those cases. Its just stupid to mandate coverage on old code that we already know works.

>>105874028
>Does anyone else face this kind of bullshit?
Yeah. I think all of us do. That's just corporate software dev. The only escape is death.

TIL half of /twg/ knows guitar. I wonder if we'll see more buskers as the layoffs get going.

there are of course a lot of people who just go to work, come home play vidya/mtg/dnd or other consumerslop then go to bed and repeat, but at least those people aren't annoying and pretend you're supposed to be impressed that they're diamond in LoL or whatever, meanwhile I've had several coworkers talk my ear off about their sourdough grind only to have them offer me a slice of the dullest, doughiest bread I've ever had, and without loss of generality, almost all people who normie hobbies are like this with everything.

>>105874553
Who the fuck is paying for courses to learn guitar lmao. Theres so much free material out there its stupid. Most tech bros who know guitar probably learned it when we were all forced to remote work during covid.

Also it does help with keeping women at least, my fingering skills are genuinely much better after putting in the hours playing guitar.

>>105874598
The big deal is that it develops your hand eye coordination with your non dominant hand very well so you can finger a pussy from more positions.

>>105874601
i do a few of these too, i'm just saying that people tend to be way more annoying with these hobbies than with shit like vidya. if you're not the type to make people turn off the music at a party so everyone can listen to you noodle and hum hallelujah then you're probably fine. the key is to understand that most people don't care that you're slightly better than average at something

>>105874592
failed normies do it, same reason they get ankle lift surgery and go everywhere "mewing"

>>105874601
the ONLY one on that list i do is brewing and it is not really very exciting. it's about as complicated as making tea.
but if you get a brewing "kit" from somewhere like Wine Store you are a turbo-normie and I will personally burn your house down

>>105874332
This is why I only have MANLY hobbies, like guns and dragon dildos

>>105874631
>it is not really very exciting. it's about as complicated as making tea.
I'm just mad because the last time I went out I paid $20 at a gas station for a six pack of beer and some chips and I feel like I could save money doing it myself and have one more quirky hobby to talk about on dates.

>>105874257
>jak basedba noodles
cant make this shit up

>>105874653
it's cheaper but to produce at scale is inconvenient, coof made everyone get into it so it's not quirky, and you're a failed normie so you'll probably fuck it up and be exactly as >>105874332 described except instead of chewy undercooked sourdough you'll make an "IPA" that tastes like grass clippings and semen

being a toxic judgmental beta is not a good thing. take a step back for a minute and think about how much of a gay loser you are being scoffing at people for having hobbies. especially something like rock climbing which is supposed to make you pretty fit. im curious what hobbies you would consider worth it to not be "basic" too.

the fact that you immediately got hurt feelings rather than reading the substance of that post and felt the need to defend your hobbies is pretty retarded.

I've been burnt out since I started working as a backend engineer a year ago. I was already burnt out when I started. For the past 3 months or so I've just been a code monkey. I barely speak to my team or contribute anything to meetings. I don't ask questions or offer any help. I am getting less work, but at the same time I notice nobody asks me for shit even for things that I had done the majority of the work on. I like this, but at the same time I think I'm gonna get laid off soon or something. I just don't have the energy to think anymore.
Anyone else like this? How the fuck do you get over burn out?

Not talking to your team is fine.
I don't talk to my own tech lead, we message each other once per sprint at most. As long as you're pushing code out, it's fine.

>>105875473
i dont really do any of the hobbies listed. i almost included ">inb4 accusing me of doing one of these things" in my post because its the lowest effort and most obvious go-to response, which is exactly what you can expect from that type of person.

and yes anon you really hurt my feelings with just a raw TRVTHNVKE. i reflected on it a little and i realize now that anon was just too right with his attitude. would you mind being so based as to tell us what hobbies are worth it and dont make you a cringe normie to be mocked?

>>105875516
i never said these hobbies were bad. i even said i have several of these hobbies. what i said originally was that people who have these types of hobbies often think other people care, and usually they don't, no more than they would if you were talking about how good you are at a video game.

>if you are by chance not some rich kid wasting his the college fund his parents gave him, lemme give you soem advice: you should change majors yesterday. the job market do be wholeass not slappin, but lowkey not becuz of ai doe

I mean, I see your point but what else you gonna do if working with computers is all you know?

>>105875827
I don't think there really is room for young people in the current US economy anywhere really but the whole point of college is to try and learn new things. Ideally you'd study something you've never done before.

Of course realistically when you're going into debt over it you must maximize the likelihood of a successful career or face certain ruin so you're not going to do that. Because everything else just sucks ass so hard they'll probably continue to pile into CS.

>>105875827
Honestly, if universities had to track and publish the suicide rates for their grads, or even if tech companies had to publish suicide rates for their workforces, no parent would ever let their kid study CS...

>>105875827
Right now, tech is dead or dying for everyone who isn't senior+ at FAGMAN. Everybody I know at FAGMAN who's been laid off in the past year has bounced back to a better or equivalent company within a couple months. Most of the non-FAGMAN devs I know who've been laid off take """personal time""" which basically just means burning through savings on a beach somewhere while questioning whether to go to tradeschool. Senior+ FAGMAN are the only devs with any real chance of getting a decent job right now.

>>105875827
zero years experience and that's "all you know"? what the fuck are you even talking about? you likely know almost nothing about computers too. computer escapism addicts think to themselves "well i just wasted my teenage years gooming and scrooling, i guess i should get a degree in computer". if only there were an institution you were about to enroll that taught you something so that wouldnt be "all you know". that something could be a skill in a field thats actually in very high demand too.

you are about to enter a market that has the total number of jobs shrinking year by year, and the number of cs degrees awarded are about 100k. even prior to covid the total jobs created for software engineers was only anticipated to be about 400k. on top of that, people are just offshoring work, and h1b fraud is sky high. by the way more than 40% of jobs in software engineering are held by immigrants in the US. feel free to fact check anything i just wrote. you will see its more or less correct.

knowing that, if you still choose to get your diploma mill comp sci degree, end up unemployed, you have no one to blame but yourself.

It's been hilarious to me to spend so much time on such a useless thing. Who the fuck cares what the goal is. Not only does it not matter because even if we do decide on one it doesn't affect priorities or the work we do, but our team is always split between 5 different projects so you can't even make a concise sensical goal anyway so it'll always be meaningless.

>>105876109

This week they were panicking about me going on a website for some library docs because it didn't end in .com and asked me what it was instead of just looking. The time before that was me connecting to my own device through a tunnel to test shit with my phone (because they literally don't allow me to connect it physically) again making them have a melty. Before that they wanted me to uninstall some open source software I used because they unironically and seriously thought open source meant insecure BUT if you paid for the same FREE opensource software, you were given a different, secure version. By that same train of thought they also believe paid closed source software is safer than open source. Had to have the lead dev explain to them that's not how any of this works to get them off my back.

You guys do realize that being an "engineer" in this field will completely go away within 3-5 years right? Only the top 10% will be able to find work in it, most of them PhDs, and you will need to be extremely good with AI development. You should be making exit plans ASAP.

unironic realpost I ran the numbers for this and it was just barely not cost effective to live out of a Ford Transit type van when I was in my 20s, so 10+ years ago. While you'd save on rent, hygeine, food storage, heating fuel, and other maintenance to the van would outpace simply renting an apartment but not owning a van.

I feel like today, the cost of a suitable van has increased as an up-front cost, but with rents and utilities as they are, it might actually be cheaper than being a normie now. Though maybe the cost of fuel has also climbed enough to keep it less-than-competitive against subsidized oil/electric steam heating as is common in apartment complexes.

>>105880385

Wholseale gas is the same price now as it was in summer 2015 and that's after a massive drop from 2014 where it was much higher.

Same people who are calling “game devs” unprofessional because no one wants to use their fucking services. Oh and as someone who’s father went to UC Berkeley, he explicitly told me to avoid it since it has taken a huge nose dive in quality and almost every department needs improvement now. They’re a former shell of themselves. They don’t have the same faculty boomers and early millennials had anymore. UCLA and USC is a better investment at this point and Stanford only produces pompous assholes that make Trojans look like Mr. Rogers, only good for asking for gibs for your startup if you have one. College pedigree doesn’t mean anything today unless said program is known for rampant cheating (ie India) and it’s ironic that he’s putting UIU there since it’s his Alma Matter.

What's the problem with Visual Studio?

i miss doing programming shit outside of work
but it just doesnt feel worth it anymore
i already get burned out enough from my job and there isnt anything interesting to code that hasnt been done a million times already

>>105887113
Sounds like you need an ideas guy

would you bother reading random documentation on fullstack shit like next.js before getting your first job (no work experience) or just keep trying the shotgun approach. i have a msc and a civil engineering degree but i never bothered with web dev

>>105887082
Visual Studio is kind of bloated. Most devs will never use all of the features in it. They can get by with VS Code and the C# Extension. Don't even need the C# Dev Kit one

>>105877983
What would happen if you just rejected a call? Like, what if you were already in a meeting. Fuck them.

>>105887082
>>105887389
VS Code didn't even exist yet and I assume teaching high schoolers how to interact with command line flags was "too difficult" compared to hitting the build button in an IDE.

>>105887082
it's bloated and slow
but it's still a better c# programming experience than vs code

Any canada anons here? What's your salary and yoe? Idk how much of a raise I should ask for

>>105887113
Who cares if it's been done, you can do it anyway.

>>105887501
Just shy of 100k with 5 YOE. Think I should get more desu given how most my coworkers are retarded but I literally got a raise this year so. It's decent I guess.

>>105883237
It's fine

>>105887389
VS is bloated but even with C# dev kit VS Code blows at C#.

>>105887571
Meh, I disagree. I find VS gets in my way and pisses me off when it's trying to be "helpful". In my last job, we used VS Code and Ruby, so I'm used to working in a CLI, and you can setup VSCode to do C# with CLI stuff and it's very lightweight and productive. It is a very different experience though.

>>Literally have no criminal record or anything
>>Currently work for different XXX agency in IT, dude tells me that for Federal prisons, people with a literal traffic violation or $20 of credit card debt can't get a job because inmates can bribe them
>>This contracting company literally wasted my fucking time for 4 months.

Feeling very very demoralized bros. I mean I could get my security clearance and try again. It's just I'm 33 and it really does feel like Software Engineering jobs are impossible to get.

>>105883915
>What movie did you just freshly learn that term from, anon?
I have no idea where I had picked it up from. I was talking to some people last night about where it might've came from. Either I made it up or some British guy said it in a comment section somewhere.

>>105887690
That's what you get for being a government contractor. You wanted to work in a "stable," comfy position because the private sector was too competitive. That's why all of you got laid off last year and can't find a job now, cause you suck

>>105887861
>>That's what you get for not wanting to work with Indians on H1B visas

No one agrees with you

>>105887909
t.

>>105887909
Damn I actually never thought about that, no fucking stinky smelly illegals and jeets. how hard is it to work for the government? Also I have a criminal record so.

for me, it is mustard. i get the fancy dijon stuff and just put a squirt of it in everything. it's like cooking without salt or pepper for me now

Billion dollar idea: Security Clearances as a Service. My company will simply "hire" "employees" as "interns" to sponsor them for Top Secret SCI Clearance. But the trick is that there is a fee to apply, and you have to continually pay as long as you hold that clearance through us, similar to holding entry level IT certifications like CISSP. Who's building this with me?

>>105888093
Sounds like a hand grenade for litigation. gl.

TIL that options trading (which i do not really understand but it appears to be degenerate gambling-esque investing) is so huge in india that they make like 80% of the world's investments of that type. to make money on options relies on a stonk going up, or else you lose *all* your investment (compared to a normal stock trade where if it goes down you still have some value and can hold it to see if it recovers)

could all the jeet bots online shilling various companies by prattling on about unbelievable "TC" just be retail investors trying to subtly move the prices of the companies they put options on?

pretty much every dairy product makes life 100x better

pet a cow today (dont eat its piss/shit though you retarded jeets)

>>105888194
A majority of the options trading is done around once a quarter per company

So these fucktards basically load up and pray to God that Apple had a good or bad quarter. Many many such cases on YouTube of people getting fucking destroyed financially.

It is the same as going to the casino and putting $4000 on black or red and any shill that disagrees with my post is a fucktard without a series 7 unlike me.

>>105888384
apparently in jeet land "retail traders" (i.e. degenerates with a Robinhood esque app) are just constantly trading on options and the reasons it's so popular in india are unclear. probably because it is indeed a giant fucking casino and jeets are the perfect mix of stupid and grifty that degenerate investing that's basically gambling (and carries a feeling of "cheating the system" is very appealing to them

it's an entire country of /r/wallstreetbets posters apparently

>>105888403
If you've got a bang on average IQ and you think you're "cheating the system", you're more likely being exploited by it.

Have an interview tomorrow for big data (for you) with spring and java role. Any tips?

so far I just as chat gpt to generate me senior level questions lol

>>105885863
yeah I know now but I know for a fact that nothing of what I said was a problem for the tech people present. but in the end they couldnt assert themselves over the hr cunt even after a full day of deliberation. which is hilarious.

>>105889271
if they ask a question you can't answer just start crying. they will take pity on you and hire you

Is it feasible to get into cloud positions with self training? I’ve been going through Microsoft documentation to take their certifications for Azure. My only complaint is that it seems a bit pointless without practical application..

Im starting to realize and appreciate the structure of the corporate world, smart people are architects and have a lot of responsibility and work at good companies. I’m just a nobody. I wish I were smarter or at least took shit seriously earlier in life.

It’s also clear that my manager/boss is dragging their ass getting me on their training as well, I don’t think they want me going anywhere too fast. They want to control me and stay doing what I’m doing.

>>105887396
There's people I can ignore and people I can't, and this was one of the latter. Ironically I should have just skipped because after 45mins I just silently rage-quit when yet another Pajeet kept an already pointless meeting going with a "saar just thought I am having" before dropping a hot take that was already covered earlier. There's not respecting someone's time and then there's straight up raping someone's time without consent.

>>105889300
no, HR roasts demand certs for that
