at least not until they lay me off or i die

>>106097012
With a proper diet, supplements and going to the gym you will never have any issues. Good luck in the future with your IT job, pal.

>>106097051
>Never have any issues
Yeah military members do 20 years then get their retirements and still have injuries from just manual labor. You are not avoiding an injury. All you are doing is delaying the outcome.

>People often misunderstand what "entry level" really means.

>For example, a hospital might post an "entry-level" surgeon position--meaning a general surgeon with no specialization. But that still requires an MD and years of residency. It’s hardly entry level in the way most people think.

>In IT, true entry level is helpdesk. Full stop. Other roles may have junior or "entry-level" titles, but they usually require prior experience or specialized skills.

IT work is probably one of the healthiest jobs to have, but generally speaking IT nerds are too lazy to do the slightest bit of weight training or exercise to maintain their bodies, so all of them bitch about needing standing tables and vertical mice by 30

>>106097114
i agree with this corpo bootlicker that it makes sense you should know a bit about programming before you can get into an entry level programming position, but generally companies dont care if you can actually do the job or not, they primarily care if you have enough experience points in your character sheet (CV).

if you only reward people based on seniority, then innovation dries up, young people stop giving a fuck and people start to lie on their CVs en masse

no and i never have but my CV says i did

>>106097574
I did like about 15 years ago
I found out I wasn't cut out for that kind of work when I turned on our expensive test board and it started shooting flames at me

I had registered a domain name with some random registrar and moved it to namecheap. I forgot about it and just noticed these fuckers didn't notify me about the pending domain expiration. this was some years ago.
I just checked and noticed the domain name is parked... on a namecheap platform, apparently by namecheap itself. are these fuckers trustable?

>>106090737

Maybe instead of code bootcamp you should have just made a portfolio and had a real app with real users before you applied for a job ?

I literally code better than any IT retard and yet they're the ones who decide what I can and can't install on MY machine? Why is this the case?

>>106097114
ok but in tech it's more like
>entry level pharmacist required
>must have 88 years experience with spinal surgery

Why don't you just host your own server instead of expecting Big Tech to do everything for you?

>>106098496
>>106098571
again, this just tells me you have no experience registering domain names.
do you even know what a domain name can be used for, you fucking retards?

what are you dumbasses doing here? you clearly have no understanding of tech.

>>106098593
>he's too poor to host his own servers so he cries when the real Owner takes his rightful Property
You have to go back.

>>106098612

also

what the fuck lol. do these dumbasses think
>owner of domain name = bad
or some shit?

how can neo-/g/ be this fucking ignorant and retarded? these retards seem CONFIDENT and PROUD of assuming shit and being retarded lmao
the funny thing is that most of the time these retards are unable to admit their mistakes. I hope they don't work in tech, IT or anything close to computers because they will end up destroying something.

The days are gone where work ethic used to help you achieve your goals.
Also I do host my own servers when they need weird things like big disks or GPUs but some of the people you're talking to are talking about domain name registration which is a social thing not a hosting thing.

>developer trying to explain something to a user
Tbh you shouldn't ever have to explain anything to users. But a dev being unable to explain anything, is kind of normal.

I don't know wtf I am doing with my life anymore. I'm close to 40 and I've only had one gf, at 33. I want kids, but... By this point, they will see me as their fucking grandad.
Should I just kms?

Hey guys it's me Netherlands anon/Dutch anon. After my bipolar diagnosis (they say it's schizo-affective but they misinterpreted the delirious mania symptoms) and run-in with the court I've been in treatment and delving into psychology and been unemployed in my IT field after a reduction in force event last year on this exact month.I thought I was the only one in the crapshoot, but the unemployed tech workers general showed me the bad market really is an industry wide trend and not just LinkedIn's algorithm giving me copium. What certs should I go for to get back in there? I currently only have my Security+ and was going for my Network+ and A+ just for the sake of it/HR filter, but I kind of want to advance my career even if my latest one was only me being an end user support specialist. Criminal record will make it tougher of course.

>>106099400
You're only 33, the body goes through its first major biological change at 34. You're pretty much still in the decade of your life where you can look pretty amazing with proper nutrition and an exercise program.

>>106099471
I misread your post. Even if you're pushing 40 you can still change your eating and fitness habits and do really well with what I said. You just really need to look into what you want in a person. Join online communities, check out twitter, go outside and just check out different places like the library or go to events that they might have on the board there. If nothing works out the next best option would be to just adopt an extended family member, pay for a surrogate, or adopt someone not blood related and just see if you can find someone in your life later without worrying about children now.

>>106099431
CCNA if you're doing hell desk certs

do people still catch covid at work?

>>106099471
>>106099501
I don't need to change my eating and fitness habits, I already take care about that. In fact, judging by how many women seem interested in me just by my looks, I seem to be attractive. The problems are:
- I suck at socializing. I'm too brutish. I don't have much love experience either.
- I'm still in my "trying to fix my life" phase, and I currently live like shit. I own land and could have my own house, but... Things have happened, and I've taken bad desicions (at least to fix things in a short timeframe).
- I'm very fucking good at wasting time. I've lost a lot of time in my life and I'm still doing it.

>>106099537
I had that, AWS certified Security, Network+, and CAPM on Udemy while I was studying during my manic episode. Should I still go for CCNA or pivot for one of those other ones or buy a new course instead?

>>106099656
You can waste time and adopt an extended relative or have one with a surrogate. All they really need are a home and someone lonely like you. You're already much more capable than those that have kids but have child protective services on their tail.

>>106099667
I mean, I could just get a single mom gf if I was to choose. But I suspect I would be a really shitty parent... Because, again, I suck at socializing. I was a NEET for almost 5 years, I rejected lots of women because I was kind of scared, and now I barely go out anymore.

>>106099749
You most likely just have an avoidant attachment relationship style. Stems from neglect in early childhood and the likes. It's a personality trait so you can change it but just get a kid now and worry later.

>>106098571
I understand this is bait, but unironically work ethic is gone because it is not as rewarded as lying, scamming, grifting, and bullshitting.

>>106099779
I probably do. I discovered that shit like a year ago. I don't know what to do about it though. Should I just keep forcing myself into other people? I've already killed some relationships because of my fears and retardation...

>imagine having access to cheap vibe coding tools and cheap indians, but instead of making your own Tea app you just double down on the race to the bottom

At some point, american ''tech" professionals must concede that their intellectual prowess leaves much to be desired. Ironically, even arriving at this stark realization demands a degree of insight that appears to be in short supply

Anyone else getting indians asking for referrals into your company?

How do I use LLMs at work in a smart way? I keep hearing you'll be left behind if you don't learn how to use them but wtf does that mean in practice? Do I just copy paste code into chatgpt and ask lolfix it or what is the meta workflow now?

I cant stop stressing about LLMs replacing software engineering.

>>106101414
chat is the boomer way, agentic/MCP flows should be the in thing now, but perhaps we already surpassed them as well? Tbf all my use cases are covered by chat

>>106101457
That's because modern chatbots offered by OpenAI and friends are agentic.
Tool-calling agents are still hot.
There will be a "next" thing but agents will be around for a bit. Hard to get around the promise of getting a chatbot to do something somewhat consistently for you

AWS Solutions Architect likely helped when I was job searching for DevOps and SRE roles to get past the resume filters. No one cared in the actual interview though. This was back in 2022.

Don't bother with those if you're looking for SWE roles.

>>106101756
The serfs are given job requirements from the start of their training to almost weekly reminders of the standards. Sucks for them. Shitty shift leads that cannot handle customer problems properly get shafted with the boot also.

>>106101832
I have a now-expired AWS Solutions Architect - Associate cert and it certainly seemed to increase the amount I got contacted.

The problem is that I'm more interested in coding and most messages were about cloud architect roles. I got the cert as part of my job back then, since we did both coding and infrastructure in my team.

At this point I'm convinced that all the Sinophobia is perpetuated by jealous Jews who are feeling their reputation as super geniuses threatened.
This is the Super Intelligence team at Meta. All earning 8 to 9 figures yearly. Practically all of them are ethnic Chinese.
There are some notable exceptions like Matt Deitke who was offered 250million over four years to join, but still.

>>106103006
Jews makeup nearly 25% of the ""White"" applicants in major disproportion for actual population to Ivy/Top private schooling in the US. Of that if you want to be a doctor, lawer, or engineer you have to face the major diversity hire the jew in the way who gets special access first to these positions. East asians and whites are ranked below that of acceptance to these careers/degrees/schools of blacks who normally would not score enough to get in and instead end up failing out for not meeting the bare minimum.

Its not even jealousy is vigorous competition fueled with nepotism.

The Chinamen are wisening up to the Jews huh

>>106103046
But for some reason they aren't competitive in AI.

>>106103006
Makes me consider getting a PhD. Got any more examples of that.

>>106103105
>Time to start job hunting, right?
Yes. And stop helping them replace you in the meantime.
When you leave, tell them you can do consulting for them or whatever, I guess.

>>106103105
If your manager is really that stupid, he could be sailing you down the river without realizing. Doubt your director is as dumb. Either way, going around you with consultants on a call they didn't invite you to can't possibly be a good sign. The only time I ever saw this was on a government job, and they did it prior to axing entire teams, regardless of the teams performance.

>>106103110
The PhD locations are mostly considered higher end on the spectrum of quality ie in this case they actually had the lab material to train them to become proper scientists instead of some paper jockey who lacks real world experience of a research lab. For the chink colleges that most of them attended for their BS/MS it seems like they are also top colleges. While US and other countries degree programs vary it seems like most of is inline enough for it not to matter. Clearly education is a major factor. But the chinks being involved in these numbers could also mean that china is front loading smart people into positions it cares about by hand selecting from the best talent. This is rather common as US picks up top talent from these schools for MIC but civilian companies have to get the scraps after that. For US / CS degrees the quality difference isn't all apparent between colleges but top colleges do have clubs such as robotics/control arms/ect ect ect that make up a major difference in integration between CS/EE/ME ect this including top internships makes going to these schools a major difference in outcomes. Another factor that i hear plays is that classes go more in depth due to the average being pulled up from top students so you can cover alot more ground in education. For the chinks you basicly have high school in middle school, college in high school and MS level education in your BS

>>106102575

It's dangerous to the existence of the corporations in question, although the executives don't really care since they have a plan to cash out just before shit hits the fan, and the corporations are more machine now than man and the machine portion doesn't actually care. And the H1Bs don't really care especially if it means the replacement is 100℅ Indian.

>>106103779
am i missing something, or what is supposed to happen when too many companies fail at once and the whole thing collapses on itself?
is that when too big to fail shit comes into play?

>>106103824
Yeah, followed swiftly by hyperinflation, followed by killing each other for scraps, followed by a controlled opposition revolution, which will fail because we've been set up for a race war and then some charismatic hero will ride in and restore order for whoever is left.

Our entire team got PIP'd half a year after an acquisition. Already some work is being outsourced to India (who produce shit). Today, Friday, a few coworkers and me just drank beer at the office. It's over but I guess it's okay.

Getting into tech was a mistake. If only I had been into something different as a kid than computers.

Should I get Azure 104 or AWS SAA? Which is more helpful/beneficial to my career? I’m a sysadmin that’s dabbled with aws ec2’s and made some Azure files/avd at work but that’s about it.

>>106103983

We should have been going into business instead of STEM, rather than letting the midwit morons take over the keys of everything

>>106104197

That the public infrastructure is crumbling alongside the historic buildings reminds me more of Detroit than of Washington, though.

>>106104282
Meh, a friend of mine has a bio degree and he says it's even worse than CS because you literally have to be a postdoc with 272628 publications to get even a decent salary in the first place.
Otherwise you'll just be a labrat (it's like a codemonkey, but worse)

>>106104328
Pretty sure post docs get paid even less than professors/scientists. It's like being an adjunct but 10x the amount of work for a college.

>>106104356
Sorry, I meant postdocs in the sense of having a doctors degree, not being a literal postdoc at uni.
Having a doctors degree is basically an entry level requirement kek

Sigh, officially getting re-orged to a new (much more stressful) area at my company. Boss point blank said "your wlb will be worse there unfortunately". I don't really have much leverage though since I am 100% remote and they are slowly trying to implement RTO, so I kinda have to go along with it and say "yes sir happy to do that sir!" even though I know it's gonna be a shit show.

The remote work ride was fun while it lasted I think lads (2020-2025 for me). Looks like I am going to have to take a big pay cut and find something locally in the next few months here.

>>106104328
Depends on the country but he's right. Lab job is shit and underpaid, but I could have gone the geology route and at least spend time outdoors.

>>106104328
A friend of mine with a biology degree, phd and 10 yoe makes less that I did when I had 3 yoe as web developer with no degree, while working way more than me.

>>106104389
The trick is to find remote work for a company that either has no office, or has no offices in your city or within driving distance of your city.
Even when my company did partial RTO (3 days in, 2 days out), they couldn't make all the remote folks like me go in because I live 500 miles away from the office.

>>106104427
Or a company that's not retarded and realizes they don't need an entire fucking office building. My office has a capacity of like 40 people which puts a pretty blatant cap on any RTO ideas (thank fucking god)

>>106104427
Yeah, I suspect I will be able to coast it out for another while, but they keep tightening the restrictions and have implied they would want me to eventually move to the HQ (not gonna happen). Honestly at this point I am okay finding something local and lower paying I think, will probably be less stress than this massive global company anyway.

>>106104328
America just hates STEM workers. It loves the silver tongued bullshitter. It wants you to be research coolie making $50k as a postdoc.

If I could go back in time, I'd study law, finance, or medicine instead of a field where the country resents the idea of you ever making money. In too deep with tech at this point, however.

>>106104663
You can see that silver tongued seethe online all the time.

"Engineers need an extra year of college to learn empathy since they are all evil"
"Look at how horrible the world is only liberal arts degrees can save the day since icky STEM nerds destroyed it"|
"Ummm no sweety liberal arts education is the only method to learn critical thinking, you just have to memorize formulas in STEM bleh"
"School is not a JOBS PROGRAM!!!!"
"STEM people cannot write their way out of a paper bag so we deserve to lord over them forever"
"College is there to teach you how to think not what to think. Duh thats why you waste 2 years of your education not learning the job. GO TO TRADES SCHOOL FOR ENGINEERING!!"

So many of these comments i see on other forums its clear as day they hate us and would love to pay us 35k$ yearly while they manage us and take all of the credit. Some of them even go so far as to say they would rather hire people who have no technical skills in the career they are applying for because liberal arts teach them critical thinking better than us. LOL.

>>106104663

Yep

Meh, those also suck unless you're a blatant career tryhard.
CS is still by far the comfiest career for an autist

Any ideas and tips for investing in my carrer?
How do i spend money on my carrer? Is there any option besides certs?

I really hate formal education but im thinking about paying a masters degree, more because of the networking than anything else. Yeah, im well aware that for technical roles certs and additional education wont help that much. The point is i see myself with a lot of free time and extra money nowdays.
>bro just save so you can retire at 35
Nah, fuck that. I really, really dislike this idea. Also i dont hate my job.

For example, a photographer can buy new cameras, expensive equipment but about me? not like i can buy some expensive pc and do things i cannot do now.

>>106104814
Invest in grammar lessons first

>>106104769
You have to be that to get anywhere in tech now lol

>>106104814
Read some books and watch some lectures. 2-4 hours a day. Labs/projects atleast work on one every week.

>>106104845
Im not a native english speaker

>>106104929
Yeah, i do all this from time to time. I never stopped learning after i finished college. But im asking specifically about ways to spend money on it. Reading books and doing projects are free.

Brehs..... they ever make you do one of those online training courses? That says it's "estimate 30 min" but you can just click on through to the end and attest that you "watched" it and be done in 30 seconds?

This is the next goddamn evolution. I am in a fully-interactive 2+ hour sexual harassment training, and every single page has different "steps to complete" before you can move on. It's not just listening to a lecture, you also have to click things on each slide, every page is a mini-quiz. The buttons are always in different places, so you can't script autohotkey clicks or something. They don't even allow 2x audio either. Also, you cannot click off to another window/program, because the site detects when it has lost focus, freezes the whole thing, and then when you click back it starts over at the last checkpoint. I am now in Hell, deeply learning about "gender identity protected characteristics" against my will.

>>106104814
>not like i can buy some expensive pc and do things i cannot do now.

what kind of gear do you have access to? Local LLM inference could be a nice investment. Also, consider developing for headsets/smartglasses etc.

Also, consider not putting all your eggs in one basket and start working on an additional revenue streams

I got confidently incorrectly corrected multiple times by an expert earlier this week.

You mean embedded and IoT? Preferably, i would keep it web. A couple times i tried getting into embedded and even bought an arduino but video and image doesnt attract me. I even had am embedded job in the past with the title hardware engineer and i run away from that since the market is small and it pays less than web where i live.

>>106103105
Gotten worse, we got a boomer from another team whose friends with the director to come sniff around all of our work, and is now being confidently incorrect in the teams channel about literally everything and I keep having to correct him.

only for him to reply
>not sure why you're being so combative
>"I'm not, its just everything you're saying is objectively, technically incorrect. I'm happy for the infrastructure to be evaluated (lie), but please be accurate"

I'm getting dms from the non sr team members asking what the fuck is going on, and I'm informing all of them we're being audited by a 3rd party jeet consult team, and now this 55 year old fucktard whose assbuddies with the director, and now we've got a casual call going where everyone is mildly panicking and talking shit about our manager and director.

INTERVIEW QUESTION: what stack would you use to handle 2 million zoom connections with no loss of video/voice quality?

>>106105274
Building a superstack like that is EASY. It's just not economical, which is why it's 2025 and these things still happen all the time. You have to build for the median average case, and have elastic infrastructure that scales up and down as needed, to preserve as much margin as possible and remain competitive. The real trick is designing that elasticity and how far it *should* go, and how fast. Also, sometimes you *want* a sudden spike to "crash the platform" and make the news.

Why do larpers always fall back on this? I've cleared FAANG onsites multiple times (currently at Meta) and I've never worked on anything outside of work. Being able to solve leetcode problems and system design whiteboard interviews is all that matters once you've got your foot in the door. Nobody cares about your ad-driven TODO app with 5k downloads. It's genuinely worse than not having anything on your resume because at least in the latter case, there's a chance you've got something you aren't showing the interviewer. In your case, you spent a couple weeks shitting out an app nobody cares about, and you think that's gonna distinguish you from the 1,000 other people applying with the same shit on their resume. Meanwhile all the interviewer is there to confirm is whether you solved their leetcode medium in 30 minutes or less (you didn't).

How's it in there so far? Gonna have my virtual in two weeks for their hardware team.

Why are browns allergic to typing? Every single time someone needs something from me they want to have a "call to discuss" rather than typing out a message on slack with the relevant information, PR link, whatever. Instead they want to call where I need to extract this information from them which is a total waste of time, and forces me to work on THEIR issue immediately rather than on my own time. I've finally got most people to stop starting conversations with "Hi" by just ignoring them, but now I need to find a way to fix this.

why are you so sure? tech is the best option for kids raised in front of a computer screen

"business" jobs aren't paid well, out of college you are some pm or a financial analyst making 80k. unlesss you can go into consulting which pays less than tech still and has low job security. AND requires 5 days in office most of the time which people in this thread fucking hate. ALL BUSINESS jobs are micromanaging people and pretending to be busy

Don’t you guys ever get tired of complaining ? Back in the day nobody felt entitled to a job. They knew you had to work for it

>>106105999
No. We're in the 1% of society and complaining about the things that make sense to complain about in our situation.

Other people might complain about being slaughtered by the conga rebellion army before they could get a chance to travel 10 miles to the nearest water well or whatever, and we complain about coworkers saying "Hello" with no context on Teams. Same thing really, everybody's got things to complain about

Brother I didn't want to do the degree, it was an expectation set on me that I went into debt for and spent years in. This was the social contract. They tore it up after the fact and sent the jobs to India instead. So yes, at some point things get revolutionary.

As a contractor, I’ve learned that starting next week, the company I work for will begin sending biweekly surveys to our managers, asking them to rate our performance on a scale of 1 to 10. A score of 7 or below will trigger a PIP with the risk of termination.
This is so retarded
I hate being a contractor

I got completely burnt out last year and no amount of vacations helped. Best I can do is 1-2 hours of work and fucking around until the end of the day.
Thankfully the firm hired a bunch of zoomer devs whom I'm now "mentoring".
I now realized this is exactly what happened when I started working 10 years ago. The same dynamic of seemingly do-nothing seniors and juniors who work their asses off.
I'm now part of the cycle.

PIPs only exist as pretense to fire people.

Tbh parents always want "well" for their children, but most of the time they do the opposite - whenever everyone does something, then that thing already sets you for a failure. The majority are the losers not the opposite.

Leetcode wont save you. The jeets own the market, but there's going to be a rebound. Just keep your skills fresh and keep up to date with tech.

Do guidance counselors still tell every kid possible to go to college?

If you like work and money, it's a good place to be. My current plan is to stay here and keep my head down for the next 10 years or so while saving as much as I can then hop to a retirement home tier company like MSFT and coast while doing 2-3 hours of work a day.

People don't "want" to be here. It's moreso that they "end up" here and convince themselves they can leave whenever they'd like. They then proceed to spend the next 20 years maintaining legacy code making 70k a year when they could be making five times that if they'd just give up vidya for a few months and grind interview prep.

>>106107346
are you serious

>>106107299
I agree. There's far too much shit going on for one guy to handle. I'm sure the pajeets in the other departments are also fucking shit up as well.
If the company wants to shoot itself in the foot by hiring these pajeets, then let it.
There are hundreds more companies like this doing the exact same thing. Are you going to care about all of them?
No, you're just not paid enough to care so much.

It is up to you to break this cycle of hatred. Kill the zoomers.

what's your most humiliating interview experience?

In my 1-on-1 today, my manager walked me through a spreadsheet showing that I’ve been taking 2–3 times longer than the original estimates on my tickets.

I pretty much said lay me off if I’m taking too long and he said there were no layoff plans at the company. I’m honestly so sick of this field and I barely have a savings but I just don’t give a fuck

>>106107971
Unironically Amazon leetcode round, the online assessment without being interviewed.
I got filtered so fucking hard and I completely folded under pressure. Made me properly fucking hate leetcode and I spent the previous months grinding it too kek. Thankfully that prevented me getting a job at the dystopia that is Amazon and I got a very comfy job with almost as much money instead.

>>106107971
I didn't prepare at all since I already had a good job offer, was completely tired and on like two hours of sleep and totally spilled my spaghetti in front of the interviewers. In hindsight, still a valuable experience.

>>106107971
Grinding leetcode only to get hit with a system design question that I was definitely not prepared for. They cut me off after 30 minutes of the allocated 60 minutes when it was clearly evident that I didn't know anything.

>>106107971
Team lead asked "who is anon"
And I was completely caught of guard and actually sperged out

>>106108044
I'll never understand people who find system design hard.
I get leetcode, it can be made as annoying and as impossible as you want it to to the point where you have to know a specific algorithm only relevant for that specific problem, but system design is one of those things where you can't really go wrong if you know the basics.
From there on out it's just showing that you can build upon your ideas and TALK with the interviewer while incorporating their input

$120k in gross revenue. After Apple and Google take their cut, it's $84k. Then subtract your expenses and taxes.

>>106108595
It's a lot harder than you think. I made some slop app earlier this year that actually got a lot of users, but I made it so they get 1 free trial if they create an account/sign in with google. I realized hundreds of pajeets and people from Africa (I can see thru the analytics) were just creating multiple gmail accounts to use the free trial multiple times instead of just paying for more credits. As soon as I removed the free trial, all the usage dried up.

>where's the brag? I'm just le misunderstood tech genius slumming it under clueless bosses, casually one promotion away from ruling over the department

>>106109023
The point is you don’t need to be some tech genius, middle managers are not all that.

>>106109023
retards still think being a manager is a reward kek
you must be the best goy ever. you're in for a surprise...

>>106109164
I'm a manager and i do less work now than when I was an IC, I just delegate everything kek. The only annoying thing is having 1:1s every week or two with my team.

>>106109173
One lady I know was forced to try out being a manager and instantly got sued for discrimination because she refused to give paternity leave to a guy to take care of his girlfriend's son. He isn't even married.
needless to say she is no longer a manager lmao

>>106109164
>retards still think being a manager is a reward kek
is this the cope managers tell themselves? lmao

>>106109210
rookie move on her part. As a manager, I approve ANYTHING my team asks me. Month long vacation? Sure I don't care. Paternity leave for 6 months? I don't care, if HR says it's ok go for it. You want to take Friday off to golf and not report it in our time tracking system? Go for it, just don't tell anyone else. Ironically when I started doing this my team's output actually increased

90% of the work we do is bullshit anyway (and yes this applies even if you work in some """mission critical area"""", we are on a rock floating through space).

>What are the white serfs going to do, take up arms?
No, they're going to ignore it until civilization collapses and then the human race ends. There is nobody else to advance technology, build societies and machines or make life any more efficient than wheeled carts and mud huts. If whites go away, you're looking at the permanent stagnation and eventual extinction of the human race.

Good

if a bunch of hard auto union workers couldn't do it what hope have a bunch of tech nerds with delusions of grandeur that one day they'll be recognized as a 100x coder and become as rich like zuck or elon

finally, friday night
you know what that means right?

We'll just go up into the mountains and spend some time by ourselves for a couple generations until everyone forgets about us and leaves again.

CWC was in the national news in late 2021

>>106112099
I really don't get this obsession with long hours that Elon and foreigners have.
What matters is output, not time spent working, and by hour 10 of a shift you're way less productive than you were at hour 2.

>>106112120
Same goes with them studying 12 hours a day for subpar knowledge as the result. You can easily exceed anyone with just 2-4 hours of education daily. Clearly this max work max study mentality is failing.

so, what do you guys think about LLMs, """AI""" and shit?
I'm a skeptic but I'm starting to get worried, seeing how a lot of people recommend using it.
I'm not a dev by trade and my job is "safer" to some degree, but... shit could get bad overnight one random day and I'll be fucked. upper management is already trying to get us to write our replacement in the form of automation scripts and stuff. I'm not doing any of that shit but I could see some of my coworkers getting desperate and doing it (though it would be really fucking stupid, since there are tons of tools to automate analysis, even FOSS ones. company is just being cheap and retarded)

>>106112099
how is that shit not illegal in murica?? is Musk proud of being a modern enslaver? how has leftist media not paid attention to this, considering they have been criticizing china for decades for similar stuff?

>>106112157

It's another tool like Stackoverflow.

It's good and getting better fast.
Learn to use AI or get left behind.

>>106112099
I would demand this if I had to be at the office actually. This way I could collect a massive salary without paying rent or having to commute.

>>106112157
>is Musk proud of being a modern enslaver?
Yes

>how has leftist media not paid attention to this, considering they have been criticizing china for decades for similar stuff?
Dawg, where have you been? They've been shitting on Musk since he took over Twitter.

>is Musk proud of being a modern enslaver?
You may find this difficult to believe, but some people have jobs they find enjoyable and fulfilling, and they don't _want_ to be limited to forty-hour work weeks. Elon himself works at least as hard as his engineers do.

>>106112183
>collect a massive salary without paying rent
Yeah how terrible to be making >200k and paying 30k per year in rent. I'd totally trade that to live in a tent.

>>106112311
I can't stand paying rent and there's practically no difference between a wood apartment and a tent in the office. Plus commuting is a pain.

>>106112157
something something arno and 250k lines of code

your beloved leader could buy them decent beds at least
but here you are, defending him for free

>>106112365
Elon used to sleep on the Tesla factory floor when they were struggling to produce enough cars to meet demand.

>>106112386
yeah, I'll believe that. he also was having kids and being the best gaymer out there in multiple gaymes, and helping design rockets and managing his other companies and shit

>>106112397
Who has better cult of personality Elon X or Kim North Korea?

>>106112434
You talking shit about best korea?

Didn't there used to be a web dev general on /g/? What happened to it?
