What is the reward for writing code? The ability to write even more code? Is there a way to break out of this cycle?

sometimes you get useful software or money

Everything wrong with programming is directly cause of "Shitty Agile For Enterprises" -work models which are made for People who don't understand a thing about (good) programming.

>>106007668 (OP)
Code your own things for your own projects and business ideas.
Code a robot to clean your house.
Code an AI to take care of your balance sheets.
Code your own video game.

Everything is computers so coding is equivalent to making the world run. Its only bad in terms of getting a job in a saturated market.

>>106007710
yeah but working in enterprise programming roles makes you want to become a manager and force the "people" working as programmers to jump through hoops and dance like monkeys for your amusement just to torture and humiliate them

>>106007668 (OP)
I'm doing it so I can make money. My only alternative is an Amazon Warehouse and I just got fired from one because I couldn't move fast enough. Other than that I can work at McDonalds. I don't really know what else I could possibly do other than program and I'm terrible at it.

you get to become a premium slave. that's about it.

Have you thought about becoming trans-indian?

>>106008942
No, but I thought about changing my religion.

I'm becoming a violonist and luthier, I'm tired of the soul sucking corporate world.

The more code you write, the more meetings will end up showing in your calendar, and the less time you'll have to write code, instead, you spend it deep in corporate politics.

Stick to the cycle. You don't want to spend an hour on a meeting to explain a group of senior software engineers from India how to write three lines of code to achieve what they need, while being actively encouraged by the management to not to write those three lines of code for them, as we need to teach them how to do it.

jeets?

The reward for doing it right is to get to do it again.

>>106007668 (OP)
Nothing. Once companies have an established beast of burden, they ride it until it dies.

>>106007668 (OP)
The reward is the paycheck you get at the end of the month, stupid. If you don't like writing code, you picked the wrong career path.

>>106014906
The point of this thread is recognizing that doing good work doesn't get you a raise or a promotion.

>>106016605
People do great things on a daily basis. That doesn't entitle you to a good boy trophy when you are doing exactly what you are POST TO BE DOING.
If you want a reward that goes beyond basic compensation for your labour, you need to go above and beyond. Do something truly amazing that causes you to stand out among the rest where even a retard can realize how great that thing was and they cannot hide it.

If not, shut up. Or go be your own employer.

>>106016685
>Or go be your own employer.
That's very taxing on human psyche as well. I would like to put an amount of effort equivalent to a jeet. I am quite happy with the compensation levels given the market cap of tech companies went up 10x in the recent years.

>POST TO BE DOING
Yet another seething poojeet trying to be proud of his outsourced $3 an hour python job

>>106016909
thanks to jeets the job is no longer creative.

I am flabbergasted how nobody noticed the scrum/agile menace came about because of jeets.

What could possibly "A Culture of Erratic Change" lead to?

Humans aren't computers and control over them is where real money is.

Coders are the closest there is to the mentats from Dune, more generally the educated slave type found in some stories.
You are given the right to sell yourself however.

>>106018851
Now do jeets.

>>106007668 (OP)
the reward is your pay stub

>>106007668 (OP)
Do something useful. By useful, I mean something that other people CAN use. The more your code is used by others, the more useful it is. The metric you should optimize for is how many people use your code. The best way to do that is to ship products. Make something.

>>106007668 (OP)
Sometimes, if you're enterprising, your personal project can make a lot of money

>>106016940
Personally I'd rather coding to take longer and for the code to be a work of art rather to take a metaphorical poo in the git repo

>>106018884
>the reward is your pay stub

that's quite an incentive for a jeet

>>106007668 (OP)
To become an incompetent technical manager who sits in meetings all the time and edits YAML files and READMEs sometimes, with higher pay.

>>106011156
Sounds exactly like my job except they aren’t Indians (yet). But I know it’s coming sooner or later. I wish there were jobs were you weren’t either a code monkey or a manager but just an actual person with skills.

>>106007668 (OP)
>What is the reward for writing code?
Seeing that your clever new idea actually works. If you're not getting this reward you're probably some gay wagie.

>>106007668 (OP)
I'll fork your github repo and repackage it and sell it for $millions, and I might even consider sending you $5 for a cup of coffee.
Deal?

>>106016909
I don't know, it seems the kind of mistake a native speaker would make. He's kinda right, regardless.

>>106007668 (OP)
Fun, like solving puzzles and assembling legos. Plus you get some programs, you can just use them, or share with other people.
For wagecucks who're stuck working for jews to get money, I don't know. Maybe it's the ability to do an office job while sitting on a comfy chair in a room with AC and having no client interaction, thinking no sketchy bussiness if you're a person instead of a poorfag from a sketchy background (read, a jeet).

I just code for fun

>>106007668 (OP)
You become the one who manages the people that write code.
