Remember to airgap your cloud!

>airgap in cv
what do

All of the meme recession indicators are failing due to none of it being accurate anymore. What is the modern day indicator?

>>106265086
people buying frozen pizzas and watching youtube instead of going to restaurants and paying for netflix

>>106265072
That just means your CV is extra secure :)

>>106265044 (OP)
Move to Japan.

Remember to airgap your gape!

>airgaped
is that what happens like when the anime ghost hands shove their fist up your ass

Be sure this is air gapped from /utwg/ anon.

>>106265086
recession indicators don't work anymore because governments around the world have realized that recessions make voters cringe their eyes out. so instead of recessions which would bankrupt shitty companies and end bad business practices, and free up labor and capital for actually productive shit, we're going to have NO recessions. so we have been slowly sliding into a completely dysfunctional retard economy where half of all GDP revolves around useless minigames that produce nothing of value but continue to get bailed out because recession = bad

anyway recently we don't have recession indicators as much as people noticing the quality of life is going down and the wealth disparity is becoming more prominent and also more random

bro got filtered by .csv KEK WHAT A BETCH

anyone else suffer from migraines? I don't think it's caused by screens, but whenever I get one, it fucks me up for at least the rest of the day and I can't do any work. It's literally a disability at this point.

>>106265460
For the love of god check your electrolytes drink some salt, potassium and calcium. I live in a dry state and that is a easy solution to most peoples migraines.

>>106265495
I drink electrolytes every single day. I wish it was that easy. I've tried magnesium, vitamen B, tracking a food diary, even got prescribed Triptans from my neurologist. The only thing I think that is related is when the weather changes dramatically I get them more often (from hot to cold quickly or cold to hot).

>>106265531
At that point the only thing for consideration is Vitamin D3. You take 5-10k IU daily early in the morning and it will fix your sleep/depression ect. Sadly age is a factor too.

>>106265531
Work out

Do you guys have a work nemesis?

>>106265626
no i'm not a retard who thinks he's a marvel character

>>106265626
Mental illness. Its live and let live in the office.

>>106265044 (OP)
I need a list of things that might get me laid off but NOT fired.
so far I have

>ask for a wage raise
>annoy my boss as much as possible
>give him as much work as possible
>tell him that I'm looking for another job maybe?
>take a long vacation at the worst moment (when there is a lot of work load) maybe?

what else?
I'm not a dev, so pls don't tell me dev things, only generic advice (related to tech works).
also, don't tell me to stop working because that would be a legit cause to get me fired.

>>106265249
install and use "fromdos", retard.

>>106265733
You are not getting laid off money. IT gets fired, quits for finds another job.

>>106265776
I AM getting it, and there is NOTHING you can do about it

>>106265733

I work for a retail company. there is no b2b stuff for me, we are the client. and, sadly, the company got record profits this Q. they still fired a coworker this year though. these motherfuckers got me really fucking tired of their bs.

It's actually something worse than that... it's coming from our code.

my boss won't stop blasting Fat Joe's "Crack House" on loop

My new engineer rec just got posted. I saw someone bitching about having to answer questions about the OSI model so I'm going to ask lots of questions about that :)

Friday! Time to hit the kpis, raise the bar, and lift those who lie flat.

>>106265626
Yes, it motivates me to work harder.

Work is a battlefield. Sun Tzu said that.

>>106265531
Being deficit on magnesium and vitamin b gives you very distinct symptoms and usually is caused by something serious, so I wouldn't worry about that. It's really hard to be low on vitamins unless you already have something.

>>106266045
lmao, ask him what layer of the OSI model he should be most concerned with.

>>106266070
It's a networking job, so he will need to explain how things work at layers 1-4 in detail

>>106266090
Based, that is how I got my recent job as a gov contractor.

gonna fail my security clearance bros
when i got it done they have, like, machines for it now
i felt the need to tell a "funny" story about getting finger printed for the first time and made fun of "old guys with ink pads" and as soon as i turned around there was an old guy with an ink pad

>>106266055

stop being mean to the IT department

Been working at my job for almost a year now, doesn't pay as well as the job I had before that but damn is my life piss easy. Only two "mandatory" office days, mandatory stop times, don't have to deal with vendors, don't need security clearance, project managers and supervisors are chill, benefits are good, best performer/second best performer on the team according to my quarterly performance review...only real negative is that I had to relocate to bumfuck hicksvilles nowhere so I can't pocket my full check by living with my parents. I could have spent the last year or so learning a new skill, or strengthening my fundamentals and theory, or making a videogame so I could hopefully one day stop being a slave to Mr Shekelstein and instead I've been masturbating and playing pirated video games on my hacked switch. If job precarity is near, I have no one to blame but myself...at least my physical fitness has improved exponentially.

>>106266163
>>106266094
>i felt the need to tell a "funny" story
That's why I keep jokes for twg. I mentioned "dd, you know, disk destroyer command" to a Windows code monkey and he got mad.


Also there's no cohesion if you're split into competing bgs and startups that are being bought and join us. It's a battle royale.

>>106266221
You people deserve to get out-skilled out of the IT market by being lazy niggers. I meet people like you often, and you always end up with gaps in your resume because you get filtered by not keeping up.

>>106266252
>"dd, you know, disk destroyer command" to a Windows code monkey and he got mad.
he probably got mad because he pegged you as a scrub who cant even use dd properly

>>106266221
What stops you to start applying now?

>>106266273
How do you know if they have gaps unless you're not a recruiter?

>>106266221
>at least my physical fitness has improved exponentially.
This is good. Like very good actually.

>>106266327
Literally panicked that'd he'd lose his data.
>scrub who cant even use dd properly
Dd is literally the fancy cat. Do code monkeys and Windows clickers need a book on cat too?

>>106266273
They get out-skilled, and very vocally start complaining.

>>106266386

Thank you microshart, very cool.

I think I might have opeend my skull up again

>>106266402
This is the proper way to do it.
$folderPath = "C:\Path\To\Your\Folder"
if ([System.IO.Directory]::Exists($folderPath)) {

# Get all files and directories recursively and delete them
[System.IO.DirectoryInfo] $dirInfo = New-Object System.IO.DirectoryInfo($folderPath)

# Recursively delete all files
foreach ($file in $dirInfo.GetFiles("*", [System.IO.SearchOption]::AllDirectories)) {
$file.Attributes = [System.IO.FileAttributes]::Normal
$file.Delete()
}

>>106266455
>>106266402
Why would you do all this shit when you could just use Python?

>>106266455
That would never work.
Part 1 of deleting a folder in Jeetshell:
class IDeletionStrategy {
[void] DeleteDirectory([string] $path) { throw "Not Implemented" }
}
class RecursiveDeletionStrategy : IDeletionStrategy {
[void] DeleteDirectory([string] $path) {
if (-not [System.IO.Directory]::Exists($path)) {
[Console]::WriteLine("Directory does not exist: $path")
return
}

$dirInfo = [System.IO.DirectoryInfo]::new($path)
foreach ($file in $dirInfo.GetFiles("*", [System.IO.SearchOption]::AllDirectories)) {
try {
$file.Attributes = [System.IO.FileAttributes]::Normal
$file.Delete()
} catch {
[Console]::WriteLine("Failed to delete file: $($file.FullName)")
}
}
$subDirs = $dirInfo.GetDirectories("*", [System.IO.SearchOption]::AllDirectories)
foreach ($subDir in $subDirs | Sort-Object { $_.FullName.Length } -Descending) {
try {
$subDir.Delete($true)
} catch {
[Console]::WriteLine("Failed to delete subdirectory: $($subDir.FullName)")
}
}
try {
$dirInfo.Delete($true)
[Console]::WriteLine("Successfully deleted: $path")
} catch {
[Console]::WriteLine("Failed to delete root directory: $path")
}
}
}

>>106266486
Part 2 to tie it all up:
class FolderDeletionService {
[IDeletionStrategy] $strategy
FolderDeletionService([IDeletionStrategy] $strategy) {
if ($null -eq $strategy) { throw "Deletion strategy cannot be null." }
$this.strategy = $strategy
}

[void] DeleteFolder([string] $path) {
if ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($path)) {
throw "Path cannot be null or whitespace."
}

$this.strategy.DeleteDirectory($path)
}
}
class DeletionServiceFactory {
static [FolderDeletionService] GetRecursiveDeletionService() {
$strategy = [RecursiveDeletionStrategy]::new()
return [FolderDeletionService]::new($strategy)
}
}
class FolderDeletionApp {
[FolderDeletionService] $service

FolderDeletionApp([FolderDeletionService] $service) {
$this.service = $service
}

[void] Run([string] $folderPath) {
[Console]::WriteLine("Starting deletion process for: $folderPath")
$this.service.DeleteFolder($folderPath)
[Console]::WriteLine("Deletion process completed.")
}
}
try {
$folderToDelete = "C:\Path\To\Your\Folder"
$service = [DeletionServiceFactory]::GetRecursiveDeletionService()
$app = [FolderDeletionApp]::new($service)
$app.Run($folderToDelete)
} catch {
[Console]::WriteLine("Unhandled error: $($_.Exception.Message)")
}

Sorry only Indians are allowed to work here anymore, sir. Please do the needful and resign already, sir.

can't tell whether i'm on /twg/ or /utwg/ these days. grim times.

>>106266935
Get another job you bum or head over to /utwg/.

>>106267048
I'll be uneligible for unemployment for about a year due to the severance.

I """context engineered""" together a relatively large feature today in our messy massive legacy codebase and the AI mostly got the implementation right with only a few corrections along the way. Grim implications for the future

So what new profession are you goingt for now tech is a jeet infested nerd hating hellscape of minimum wages and redundancy?

>>106267191
I still have two applications waiting for a response. Should probably send out more, since it's been a while since I sent them without getting any response.

Not that many interesting jobs on LinkedIn though, since most are some AI bullshit.

>>106267301
Whatever pays the bills. No profession is safe anymore.

I think it's time to quit. I'm sitting in bed unable to sleep because I'm so stressed out that I have to do another day of talking to indians and russians and not understanding a thing they say.

>>106265733
>laid off but NOT fired.
there's a difference?

>everyone from work is offline today
>even Indians

> interview candidate for data engineer role

> 2.5 weeks later guy gets invited for another round since they found him a ''pleasant person''
> I told him that he was a rude and arrogant dick with no technical skills in the interview and I would refuse to help or guide him

So this is what nepo hiring looks like.

>>106267488
was the candidate a minority or a woman by any chance?

>>106267419
You lay off people when your headcount is too high and want to save on salaries. You fire people when they're incompetent or otherwise a liability.

>>106267425
even Chinese and Koreans are offline.

Nothing is really out there that is comfortable and safe. Besides now that I have a masters in this shit and 5 years of experience, pivoting to something else is near impossible. Most of the ''something else'' jobs also pay shite relative to cost of living.

No it was a skinny white possibly jewish or arab dude in his 30s. Extremely ugly to a repulsive degree, genuine 2/10 without having a serious physical condition. I couldn't even tell his ethnicity due to it.

>>106267413
If you're European try to get on sick leave / burnout. Workers protections in most EU countries are really tight. Abuse the systems put in place by these social democrats instead of only paying into them through tax.

my corpo gives every jeet a second chance, not even joking. If a white guy says a wrong word that is bye-bye, but if a jeet fails a round they can go to the next one to 'have another chance to demonstrate their skills'. Not even trying to hide it anymore.

I'm unironically thinking about just taking up a trade and go fixing up toilets or some shit, at least in germany it's paid just as well if not better if you're in a leadership position, I'd rather deal with actual, literal shit than whatever the retards in the industry demand.

>>106269285
You'd be surprised what you can do if you aren't full retard desu. Only shit deal going to mechanic is the fact that he won't have a lot of inherent experience which seems to be 99% of how you stay afloat as a mechanic.
Literally you make money doing it by being under the labor rate for jobs and being aggressive in taking everything you know there is a labor arbitrage. It's a soulless and painful business to get into. Might be a fun hobby though. Expensive as fuck though.

As an IT nerd it is over. Anyone with an above room temperature IQ moved to IT/Tech since some of the troubleshooting principles still apply. High end pay for mechanics is like 70k$ after 10 years of experience/certs. You only win if you own your own shop.

>"No, but I did talk to Person X on 'completely irrelevant thing btw, did you see the email on 'completely irrelevant thing that's nowhere near as important as this other thing'"
It seems a lot of my conversations go like this and it's starting to frustrate me.
>"hi anon, did you take a look at ticket x?"
>"No, they didn't go through the proper channels. I'll take a look at it, but do you want me to do x, y, or z on it"
>"Thanks anon, we should talk about our intake on proper channels later."

Sure, I could probably be more assertive and take stuff into my own hands but doing that in the previous months backfired hard, so I've been just pushing back to leadership on exactly what to do only to get met with that.

Brahmins code in Powershell

So there was a company all-hands yesterday, and for some reason in one of the slides they had a map of all the new development offices. One was obviously in India, so they had a map of India. Apparently this was the """wrong""" map of india, because a bunch of the pajeet employees got super upset in the Teams chat and were writing things like "this is not the correct map, please replace ASAP" or "wrong india map" to our fucking CEO, LMAO. A bunch of them said they were going to "report" the slide deck??? What the fuck is wrong with Indians.

>>106269753
india has a thing similar to china with tibet/hk/etc but even stupider where they think a bunch of neighboring soverign nations are their rightful clay

i first learned about it from a gdc talk where some lady describes exactly what you said happening to her -- she was on a localization team for some map game (not a paradox one but same kinda genre) and in some countries they had to change starting scenarios and such around because the countries themselves BAWWW'd about their borders actually lining up with what the international community respects instead of their collective headcanon

I kind of want to die

>>106269753
Kek I got maps of our companies location on the walls that are beyond old. Someone just put up dates for the old sites that were occupied and for how long. Then they added the new sites.

Next time the map is updated cut off bangladesh so it has that one section on the right. Have Pakistan's border right on the capital of india to really piss them off. Then give the Himalayas to the chinks

You can take my Amazon interview spot, no way I'll jump through their hoops only to get lowballed in the end.

almost to the weekend boys ;)

It's weird. Just a year or two ago, I would've been so stressed that I am likely getting laid off soon. But now? I am completely apathetic. I think it's just the vibe of the whole industry being fucked. I don't have enough saved to retire, but I have enough that I feel no motivation to get another job. I am in tech purgatory. Maybe I'll switch to another industry and do something more lowkey. I see my friends at chiller local companies and they only have to 'compete' with a much smaller pool of people, whereas for me remote, I have to compete with the whole world it feels like.

>>106270164
man my fast food job was the most chill job I've ever had. shoudl've appreciated more

>>106270195
I saw an Instagram guy who quit being an engineer and started working at McDonalds, and he is documenting his experience. So far he seems happier and more fulfilled than when he was an engineer, kek. What a fucked up world.

>>106270040
they dont want to say the quiet part out loud
>>106270209
this is a psyop

>>106270209
And how big is his investment portfolio and how much does he get in dividends that supplement his wageslave job?

>>106270239
Looked it up. Apparently he has $700k.

I am in the middle of my project assessment in IT, but I feel like I couldn't care less.
I have trouble understanding or comprehending what people exactly tell me despite understanding what they said.
And I just want to disappear and rot away.

Their feedback is not landing on me and it shows:
- I write a submission form draft, repeating the problem every single time.
- I can't seem to focus on the conversation people have with me, without shortening.
- I know I am supposed to apply the feedback and I try, but my brain just returns back to racing into nothingness.

He calls me solution oriented, as in I jump into a solution without knowing and determining the problem on if it works or is applicable in the particular use case.
Genuinely I just want to think and orient myself to change the way I think in the same way as the other people who are successful, but I can't seem to give a single fuck.
I want to, but I have nothing to give.

Really, I just really couldn't care about it outside liking to help people with their existing problems I can grasp and solve via tickets.

I have some drafts that really apply to a genuine problem the company is currently solving and it's as great as it gets as a feedback on their strategy, but formulating and explaining the problem, the issues that stem from the problem, scope them into a size that fits to create a solution, then explain why it's the answer to their solution?
What's the motivation?
I forget it in my attempt to work on it again and again without anything getting better.

Gonna go through some recorded tutorial videos and really try to get the essence the way I understand it, I just hope can at least do more about everything in my life than emulate to just get to the weekend or into my own 4 walls.

>applying to positions
>Every one of them asks if you require sponsorship on the application
I feel like this was never a question on forms until this year. Things are finally changing for the better.

>>106270358
anon you're supposed to answer "yes" to those.

>>106270358
Sponsorships should cost the company 1 million dollars each with $500,000 renewals.

>>106270401
That's stupid. It costs money to sponsor and they only recently started asking because they're starting to get fucked for illegally preferring foreign workers.
I've answered no every time and I've got 3 interviews lined up next week.

>>106270456
>they're starting to get fucked for illegally preferring foreign workers.
They're just doing it legally now. Number go up.

>>106270412
At the very least if they really can't find an American worker they should have to pay 2x the prevailing wage. Maybe Americans just don't want to work for pennies.

>>106270358

>>106269823
you gotta realize
they only have one goal
to make you suffer

if you enjoy working and completing tasks they will make it impossible for you to do so
if you are lazy and can't complete tasks they will force you to do them
if you are a perfectionist they will fuck your shit up
if you are fast they will force you to slow down, if you are slow they will force you to work faster

they just want to make you miserable

only way to through this hell-hole unscathed, is to develop Buddha-like stoicism and not give a single fuck about anything

>>106270481
i don't think they necessarily want you to suffer, but i think they insert themselves into various processes in order to feel useful. but the practical result of that is that they just end up creating friction and slowing things down for no reason

>only way to through this hell-hole unscathed, is to develop Buddha-like stoicism and not give a single fuck about anything
this is true though.

but i think if you want to minimize the friction, you do need to ask for their input while gently guiding them towards the obvious answer, but without outright saying it. like "hm, we could try boiling the water, but i'm not sure if that would work for pasta" so they can chime in and say "yes, boil that water :thumbsup:". that way they can feel useful but without causing you extra work

>>106270573

>>106270823
190-220k is like IT engineering (CCIE, masters, 15+ years experience). EM is majority of the programmers or actual engineering with masters/doctorates to back it up in lieu of shitloads of experience.

Beyond that you got VP's and C-Suite that make crazy money often with bonuses included for X production.

I always had an idea in the back of my mind to transmit data through audio cables. Like get two m/m audio extension cables, plug one end of one cable into the speaker port for one PC and the mic port for the other, then do the opposite with the other cable, then you can output sound directly from one PC to into another, and with some modulation you can send data.
I wonder if there's a potential $1b business in this.

isnt wealth disparity in the US greater right now than pre-revolution france

>>106271595
>imagine being a bootcamper in the current environment
I think a bootcamper that already has a well paid job has it better than some retard that got a degree but no job. his investment (time and money) most probably paid off in months. you, on the other hand, feel entitled to a job and your investment pays off in matter of years.

>>106271595
If those bootcampers got job experience, they'll walk circles around you in recruiting.

>>106271686

It might be misleading because the rise of global equities has made compounding wealth that much larger. But there isn't this sense of "the poors and the nobles" like there was in pre industrial Europe so it isn't quite the same. 80% of people were in rags and were forced to walk shoulder to shoulder and see the top 1% every day from their homes and hovels, for us now it's more like the top 0.0001% skew the metric and we can go our whole life without seeing them.

fuck man the way my boss and his boss does things is so inefficient and it feels like we're bending the knee all the god damn time which is whatever but it's driving me insane nobody does things in a logical way. Maybe they have more insight then I do but nothing drives me more nutters and angry then reading an email from my boss telling big boss making us do a lot more work than necessary just to stroke a few stakeholders who frankly don't give that much of a fuck.

i wouldnt say a modern day poor has as hard a life as a peasant 250 years ago, but they gave it a good shot

the main reason i dont like capital consolidating so much is because it makes the economy irrational and slowly drains everyone's quality of life in subtle ways. if our wealth was actually in the hands of those who actually work and provide services and useful things to society, we would've never collectively wasted 46 billion worth of labor and resources on metaverse or any other retarded vanity project. the more capital concentrates in the hands of a few retarded billionaires, the more we're collectively going to waste our effort making dumb useless shit that no one needs, like giant mansions, yachts, dumb tech projects, various agencies explicitly for the megarich, and so on. the more we do stuff like that, the less time and effort we have left for securing a better and fairer society overall. and for what it's worth, the rich weren't quite as detached from reality 100 years ago so they may have built a library or a school as their preferred vanity project.

it's not just billionaires though, boomers owning half the wealth despite being 20% of the population really fucks shit up big time. the pay for a lot of average jobs is generally getting shittier due to having to subsidize some retired boomer's extravagant lifestyle. so you end up in our current situation: people (especially zoomers) don't want to get jobs if they can help it, purchasing power is collapsing, and retired boomers are becoming increasingly nervous with the value of their assets (house and portfolio) buckling under the pressure (as that article shows). and governments are kinda unwilling to let boomers ever suffer even the slightest inconvenience, they're probably going to force more legislation to secure boomer wealth, which is going to make everything just worse

I'm in a state where I can sack all my work today, but I'm constantly anxious for a 911 call. It's not great.

My problem at work is let's say my maximum is at an 8/10. My daily is like a 1-2/10 and sometimes that's all I do. Then some days big boss man will be like I want X,Y,Z and that's like a total of 20/10 stuff and I'll push back and be like let's work on 8/10 stuff first but my boss will bend the knee and say yes we can do 20/10 and I'm just like....dude.
How do I even handle or look for advice for this? I don't know if it helps but sometimes he'll just hijack my work after I finish like 50% of it and it annoys the shit out of me because I have no visibility to it nor any impact on something that I did. Then he'll go the wrong direction and then throw it back to my lap to update if big boss man wants more.

Not true. One time I had the teriyaki chicken and it was bad. The broccoli that it came with was even worse, it was pure mush... At the time, I hadn't realized that there were two different teriyaki vendors: there's the in-house one, and then an external restaurant that comes in sometimes. The external one is REALLY good, but the internal one is trash.

>>106274797
>I don't have a manager right now

>>106274810
My old M1 was managing a few different teams, and right now, as far as I can tell, we're all just managing ourselves. We create repair tasks for the backlog based on incidents we see, and we still have Product Managers that we work with for feature work... but in terms of prioritization and choosing what to do, we basically manager ourselves. It's honestly kind of comfy. I haven't had to deal with a 1:1 in like 4 months.

>>106265626
Not currently but I have had 3. Let's call them Jared, Sam and Arthur.

Jared was alright, pretty cool guy initially, we had some things in common. He slowly turned on me and attempted to bully me by making me the butt of every joke he told. I have my theories as to why. He wasn't sociable or outgoing enough to keep up momentum on his attempted bullying campaign and I can be quite outgoing so I socially isolated him. I also let him shoot himself in the foot multiple times with regards to work. He eventually went on medical leave supposedly for mental health issues and later came back for a month then quit. He was somewhat capable at his work but lazy and vocally proud of this.

Sam was a cunt sometimes. Say 20% of the time he would be a dick and the rest he was okay. This guy would be fine without the Jekyll Hyde thing he had going on. Least bad of the 3. Highly capable.

Arthur was the biggest bootlick and brown noser I've ever met. He was fat too. Similar to Jared he was another one that started off friendly and turned hostile over time. It's harder to describe Arthurs hostility though, it's like he would attempt to casually elevate himself and downplay me if that makes any sense. I think he saw me as a rival or a roadblocker for his ascent to the top or something. Arthur was completely useless though, entirely incapable of doing the job he was hired for (senior developer lol). He would namedrop the manager a lot, butt right into all conversations within a 20 metre radius and just generally annoy the shit out of everyone. He was booted after probation ended. We nicknamed him DINO, Developer In Name Only.

I made more money today than many of you will make all year. After 4 years in this place, I feel absolutely nothing. At least now I can justify leaving for greener pastures since it's all downhill from here

I have a code question

this.logger.logState('connected', this.accountUsername)
this.workerHealthMetrics.handleConnectionEvent({
workerId: this.workerId,
eventType: 'connected',
timestamp: new Date(),
})


I'm working on a distributed job queue. I have many occurrences like the above, where for the same business event I both log it so it gets promtailed to loki and I also increment a metric for prometheus. I'm wondering if I should abstract it into a service so I'd just make 1 call instead like:
this.telemetry.workerConnected({
workerId: this.workerId,
username: this.accountUsername
});


The current way is explicit and readable. On other hand, the single call to a TelemetryService feels cleaner and If I ever wanted to add a third thing, like sending an event to an analytics stream, I'd only have to change it in one place. But if I'm being real the reason I even thought about doing it just to have le cleaner code with less "boilerplate". Is it a pointless abstraction/bad coupling?

than to add a call to a method a service that essentially obfuscates what is going on. Still not sure tbqh.

Got an offer for mid 7 figures for my company. My thinking is

Pros
>I get to stay on if I want to with a salary that's nearly triple what I've been paying myself
>My cofounder wants to sell and I'm sick of dealing with him anyways since he's been checked out for 2 years at this point
>With my existing portfolio + this payout I'll be pretty financially free
>The company making the offer has a decent track record, from what I've seen most of their prior acquisitions are doing fine

Cons:
>Minus dealing with my partner and all the non-technical stuff I like our niche and working on the product though I don't get to do as much of that as I'd like anymore

It seems pretty clear-cut when I type it out like this but still not sure what to do. I'm kind of concerned also that it'd be a premature exit and that I'd be letting my only opportunity to make big money go. I'd probably try to start something new afterward but it's obviously highly uncertain if it'd succeed.

>>106275757
No, I meant you should not do the refactor (or at least, there's no reason to), because you're not repeating anything 3 times. If you had 3 cases where you were logging and persisting a metric and whatever else you're doing, then you should refactor it into a method so you can call that method 3 times rather than repeating each line

To clarify, logging =/= persisting a metric, those are different things, that's not repetition

If I cheated through my entire CS degree, what's the move?

The extent of my programming knowledge is DFS and BFS. This was a reputable American university which sends a lot of its graduates to big tech.
I was still able to cheat through the projects with AI and on the in-person tests with my phone and some finesse (very nerve-wracking and scary though.

fucking hell working in a windows vdi sucks. The company I just recently got a job at as a devops engineer had given me a vpn that I could run on my linux machine for a bit but now they are switching to one of those device managed vpns that ensures its on a company managed device. that would be fine if the macbook they gave me actually had sudo access and I could install brew or anything really on it. I just want a linux terminal and neovim. is that too much to ask? ok whatever, I can just use wsl, git-bash, and do everything in there right? kind of uncomfortable but it works and is somewhat doable. no. nothing is persistent on these vdi's it wipes itself every night so you can't have a persistent environment. I have to reinstall wsl, setup git, and install neovim every fucking day. want to look literally anything up? nope, you don't have any access outside of the internet. do they expect me to program in notepad???? The staging vdi doesn't even work at all either, only the production one, so I have to test on production servers. How do companies get this way? why the fuck would they hire me and say "actually you can't do any work, sorry"

At least it's better than my old job where I was working upwards of 60-70 hours a week.

Sounds like typical corporate IT retardation. They're allergic to letting developers get their job done because they intrinsically need more than "Windows plus some allowed apps"

>>106277965
yeah. I am kind of shocked having come from a startup as my first tech job where there were basically no rules on how you get shit done. I just used my own laptop and desktop for all of it with a wireguard vpn.

my boss at this new company is pretty based though, I point blank asked for vpn access and he gave it to me, but ofc now that's a pointless gesture given that I cannot run it on my linux machines anymore. Maybe I should just fucking backdoor the prod and staging environments lmao.

tbf all of this shit should be virtualized locally for testing anyways, however none of that has happened, so I guess I have my work cut out for me.

It's because people can't accept that perhaps the world doesn't need more programmers while other industries are bleeding workers. I'm sure AGI will solve this problem.

None of my young friends can find jobs.
All of my early and mid 30s friends are unemployed forever once they lose their jobs
My mid 30s friend mentor who got me going in my career who makes 30% more than I did and has been in the industry 5 years longer has just had his house foreclosed on
My company has done 3 layoffs in the past 2 years and did no pay raises for the first time ever in 7 years
My company actually gives a shit and pays attention to our cash flow coming in from customers in the past 2ish years
Also, I make $165k and have not made any significant life changes in how I spend, but gradually my take home after taxes and retirement has begun to match my monthly outtake and I'm not actually making savings anymore.

Oh but everyone tells me the economy is great and there's lots of jobs and like go up.

The really annoying thing is I knew it would be like this and prepared financially, I'm fine. People flip out and treat you weird when you're unemployed though.

Yeah never mind that I haven't bought anything other than the bare necessities for the past 4 years and saved aggressively and actually planned ahead unlike most of you retards on top of having myself together enough to still be employed most of the time. The real problem is that I'm not currently giving some brain dead corpo middle manager cunnilingus means I'm a bad person.

Just like min wage all it does is raise the cost of living without benefiting those who need the jobs and those who have jobs.

>>106279482
only when done incompetently and without other supporting legislation, e.g. rent control, price fixing and subsidization, anti-trust/anti-monopoly, etc. to keep prices stable as wages go up so that non-minimum wages aren't affected.

and boomer cope of "WELL IF I HAVE TO PAY A DOLLAR MORE I HAVE TO SACK SOMEBODY OOPS :^)" doesnt work because all these places are just importing jeets to work for less than minimum under the table anyway.

single-issue voters have been a disaster for democracy since the start

>>106279511
Thats basicly just saying "Lets put our cost of living at the year 2000 and change nothing forever" Its a round about way of paying everyone the same amount for the same labor while also not allowing them to have any money to spend on things they cannot afford.

How the fuck am i supposed to pay for repairs when the cost of living went up X amount of dollars that UBI gives. How am i supposed to cover a 6 bed house worth of value if the UBI/Rent control only accounts for 2 bed house?

>>106279570
rent control in conjunction with proper renter's rights as employed in certain places works. american-style "we did it wrong on purpose" (((rent control))) where they just make up values based on historical property taxes and say "no increases EVER" in a scheme specifically designed to fail unsurprisingly tend to fail

it's kinda like american public transit. america likes to do "socialist" things wrong on purpose to "prove" they dont work, like a child who does chores intentionally wrong hoping he won't be asked to do them again

>>106279629
UBI is a dumb concept imo because more graceful forms of welfare exist but
>6 bed house worth of value
actually functional welfare programs generally give more gibs based on family size. if you have 5 children you would get a 6 bed house worth of rent subsidy.
>pay for repairs
if you are on welfare you shouldn't be rich enough to own a house you do your own repairs on; repairs are the responsibility of the landlord. if you own your own house and can't afford it maybe you should try getting a job
>cost of living went up X amount of dollars that UBI gives
this is why other economic/commercial policy needs to be in place to prevent unscrupulous business owners from going "oh i'll just raise prices then" and creating the exact same problem as before (i.e. prevent rent increases larger than natural inflation, fix prices of staple goods, etc)

>rent may not increase by more than 10% or bank of canada inflation number, whichever is higher
>if you are currently renting a place, you are ENTITLED to renew the lease if you want, even if the property changes hands or similar
>lease renewal is automatic; a tenant has to actively say "I dont want to live here anymore and wont renew" and it has to be in writing
>transferring a lease is similarly automatic and has a very small list of reasons it can be denied
>if your apartment needs work on it, landlord gotta pay and can't push that onto the tenant by imposing fees
>if work ISN'T done and the tenant does it themselves, the tenant can bill the landlord for it
>some little other stuff like deposits can't exceed a month's rent, deposits have to be given back unless you have actual bills for work done as a result of the tenant living there, can't charge for keys, landlord has to give notice to visit the unit, etc
it kept rents very low for a long time and there were lots of provisions to block the usual slumlord scams like "renoviction" or just shutting off the water or whatever until you leave. but about a year ago they repealed some stuff and fucked everything up

>>106279765
>it worked until it didnt and changes were forced by necessity
woah how did this happen?

>A study published in the American Economic Review (J.R. Kearl, Clayne L. Pope, Gordon C. Whinting and Larry T. Wimmer, « A confusion of economists, » vol. 69, May 1979, pp. 28-37), reported that 98% of economists surveyed agreed that this form of intervention reduces both the number and quality of available housing units. The results of a similar study appear in Canadian Public Policy (Walter Block and Michael Walker, « Entropy in the Canadian economic profession: Sampling consensus on the major issues, » vol. 14, no. 2, June 1988, pp. 137-150). Here the authors report that 95% of economists surveyed were of the opinion that rent controls are clearly inefficient and in fact harmful.

Which IT related degree should I choose if I want to stay away from programming but also have job security?

Currently looking at either Cybersecurity or a more general Computer Systems & Networks degree.

I'm thinking that at least Cybersecurity will be safe from offshoring because of security clearance requirements, but worry that it'll get me passed over for more general jobs in sysadmin, networking etc compared to the more general degree.

>>106278282
See I was the same way. All my retard friends kept job hopping every 6 months and telling me to do the same. I was paid decently well and treated well so I staid put.
Sure I only earn $165k and not $225k, but $225k doesn't matter as much if you're unemployed 6+ months out of the year

>>106281193
Just do what interests you overall. Unless you go to a really good school with great business outreach (aka extremely expensive and overall not worth it), get great internships, and study well outside of your selected courses you're going to start in help desk. Of course that depends on what the economy looks like in 4 years, but by then we might all be out of job.

My recommendation? Don't go into IT unless you absolutely love it, you're top 2% intelligent, AND you have a silver tongue. To survive let alone thrive in it it will consume your entire life and pay you very little compared to if you went something else. The return on investment is just plain bad now and you're competing with the entire world. If you're in the west you need to be worth the money, and to be worth the money you aren't going to have a life.

IDK man. Things are REALLY bad right now in IT and worse than other jobs. But if you actually dedicate your life to something else like you would be forced to in IT, only to end up making 50k a year max with on-call and off the clock studying, you could easily make it somewhere else. Between AI, general automation advances, jeets and offshoring it is harder than ever and it doesn't look like any one of those are letting up. Like I said, you gotta be worth the money so you'll be a slave at best, and even if you do make it you aren't going to have time to spend that hard earned cash. I don't recommend it at all, but it could all miraculously work out like if they stopped offshoring or jeet importing.
