You'll still be kissing the ass of your social media platform, sponsors, and viewers.
so i have a technical interview tommorow and I was told its gonna be a type of interview "i cant prepare for" to see if i can get shit done. What does that mean? What can I expect?
I guess it will be practical interview with live coding without much theory. What kind of tasks I can expect? Its an us outsourcing company

NOCs are the "any retard" job. If you aren't hunting down your CCNA/CCNP and moving the fuck on you're retarded. NOCs are the pizza-hut, fast-food, chick-fil-a of networking. They are simply to get in, or at least not starve while you look for something else.
I still luv me NOCs tho. Depending on the team, you could have some good fucking times doing fuck all and shooting the shit.
option 1:
> comfy, lower paying job with good benefits and security. Work is more mundane
option 2:
> profitable YC funded startup with higher salary, more interesting work, but potentially less security
Which would you choose?

You are correct
I been here less than a year and the job is not hard at all. Most days there is not that much to do, we get some tickets done, do some calls. We are meant to be getting our pay raised to Β£26,000 soon (big money fuck yeah)
But it is like you said - it is an entry level job and nothing else.
I was extremely fucking lucky I got my foot through the door as nowhere in the UK is fucking hiring right now.
Before I got this job I interviewed for another place, for a helpdesk job. Turns out that the dude who interviewed me is getting laid off, I just found out from his Linkedin
Still, the prospects for getting a better job are slim as fuck. The market in the UK is absolutely fucking brutal right now.

i'm the anon that pointed out the UK was looted by the megarich
going by historic precedent, it should be over by then. but the things to worry is the current global instability due to debt cycles ending, multiple strongman gobernments fucking around and normies not liking shitty quality of life and the wealth disparity. historically that stuff leads to world wars and revolutions and 20 years of turmoil but idk maybe that won't happen regardless thats all speculation.
anyway even if you can't work in the UK because the country is fucked you still have some good remote work options as a native UK person. a lot of companies appreciate a genuine britisher that can actually string a sentence together in english instead of someone speaking in incoherent thirdiebabble with cows in the background. it's not an earthshattering advantage but it's something
one extra viewpoint: if you get out of a field you liked because of economic worries, and then you switch to a field that you neither like nor makes economic sense 6 years later, then you'll really hate yourself. no one can predict the future in this wack ass post modern world so best you can do is follow what feels right to you and later accept that you made decisions based on what made sense to you

Depends what your level is. For SWE1s, just getting your assigned work done, showing that you're learning about your system/product, and not fucking up too much should get you promoted to SWE2 within a few years. To get to senior is when you have to start "owning" projects or work or whatever.

I got a side project into production in about 3 months that would have taken me probably 2 years without LLMs. Using the right tools (claude code), keeping its scope small, planning out what it's going to do so the implementation is 1 layer of abstraction above you typing it out yourself, verifying stuff manually and relying on developer intuition lets you get a lot done and the code I have is as good as anything I'd write by hand which I know since I still do a lot of that for work.

I got a CCNA and went to work at a NOC for NCR which services a metric fuckton of massive clients and the work boiled down helpdesk and copy pasting the same 10 commands into a terminal and pasting the output into the tickets.

Which would be fine, if there were any notion of upward mobility at all. The chasm between what L1 did and what L2 did was huge and there was 0 pipeline of working towards the shift. Basically nobody ever made the jump and the vast majority of L2 had CCNPs while the vast majority of L1 didn't even have CCNAs. But I guess that speaks more to NCR sucking ass as a company than anything.

Lead the basics of Linux, learn Kubernetes, Terraform, Golang, docker. Then make a homelab with a project. Most start with a βcloud resumeβ. You can make it your own. I did a self hosted Jitsi meet instance that is piped to an http nginx docker host that presents the front end. I documented it all and uploaded it to gitlab so I can point it out and talk about it in interviews.
Basically I preempt any initial questions talking specifically about the project and so they ask about the project to get a good feeling of your mindset. The less itβs like an interview and more itβs like a conversation the better.

You're an asshat and a retard, networking is the one field that has failed to really update and catch up with everything else because it isn't an iterative technology. We still deal with bare-metal systems, we still deal with transport issues, we still deal with 3am calls with every hire up being butthurt at the same time. And I even remember when Cloud was the new networking, LMAO to that shit. AI is just piling on more software on top of what is already automated; piping more data across the internet, when the VAST majority of network issues are physical and not protocol. You're winging about layer 7, when I just don't give a fuck - no one is interviewing you about layer 7.
But I agree that people should avoid networking as a career field, because I'm in it and I don't want you grifting faggots here.

no decisions in the last year, just postponing and more le discussions
two colleagues have been moved to look into the new things, i would have hoped to be one of them but alas bossman said that "we need to also focus on the current products so they enter market properly"
its always just moving the goalpost
for the last three years its been "in 6 months we should be able to ramp down" but nothing

indians are scammers and cheats
my company re-did the title structure about a year ago as a 7-level hierarchy (but HR tells us we arent allowed to call it a hierarchy lmao)
even the 2 yoe indians in india were appointed 4 or 5th tier titles while these titles were very reserved to 10+ yoe with demonstrable contributions and recognition in my cunt

i didn't say it's possible, i said (you) would expect it
and the dumb shit wasn't even like "it was designed wrong", more "there are physical limits". I fondly remember trying to explain to several officers that satellite internet doesn't work when the mast of your ship is in the way of your transceiver and the satellite, and marvelling at the fact that even the CO would gladly waste millions of dollars of fuel and several weeks of people's time on a suboptimal route just to clear the mast by a few degrees and that the crew would tolerate that because you NEED to be able to get onto Reddit from the operations room during the more boring watches

Turns out comms are a huge morale boost and the fuel is already paid for you to be out for a certain amount of time, military isn't in the business of being a business. And yes, we called you dirty blue shirts behind closed doors

>>106310727
true but we also had a 384k satellite modem that proved PERFECTLY SUFFICIENT for m.facebook and old.reddit
also if they would admit it was to let people check hockey scores i'd be fine with it, but they would tell me it's "strategic comms" even though outlook would still work, we had radio teletype, and anything of any real importance would come down through the flagship and after a certain point in the exercise we did just have UHF teletype up basically all the time for training purposes (and it was fun)

I was on a sub and I'd have to sit at periscope depth spinning on the periscope for hours so that fat fuck mechanic could download his dear John email that's taking thirty minutes because there's one photo attached. We would have killed for reddit, but that was impossible for anyone other than the radiomen pretending comms were slow as they hogged up all the bandwidth. God I fucking hated the navy
>>106310788
again, it's not like i dont appreciate the faster connection either, but the pretense was silly. and all this is aside from the point that 99.99999% uptime is infeasible even for something that, in theory, should have it
>>106310790
i've heard from commsies who have gone sub that they didn't get to use reddit either. they would absolutely hog all the bandwidth available at satcom enabled depth (apparently they had a buoy or something and didnt need to go as high as periscope) but even they would have to get the hockey scores and dear john letters via official message over HF once in a while, and all the satcom gear was broken or at least misconfigured 90% of the time anyway and the true pro gamer move was simply owning a laptop and downloading tons of shit every port visit
I hate the navy too but I can't say that my boss's stories don't make me sometimes think "ah, I could do that for a year or two for an extra shot of cash and a couple of more fun stories than I had on the minesweepers."

nothing crazy but i once knew a senior programmer who basically could barely read code. his modus operandi was writing code that he didn't really understand and pushing it. that would inevitably cause a lot of bugs, and then he would spend the next n weeks fixing those bugs. he virtually never worked on a new feature or any other stuff like that, he would just spend his days fixing 2-3 bugs of his own creation a day. management apparently loved him because he would always come in and fix stuff at the last second. they gave him a lot of leeway to abuse other employees because they viewed him as a sort of a tortured genius lol
but there was apparently some nepotism involved because some of the other senior people knew he was ineffective and abusive but did nothing about it

just learned that I was fired some time ago because I argued too much with my bosses and this "disrupted team dynamics" and "made collaboration difficult"
this is funny because they praised themselves of an open debate culture, flat hierarchies and claim they value feedback. additionally I was praised for my team player skills multiple times.
turns out they are just narrow minded retards who really really hate that someone reminds them of the technical debt

Crazy to me that you would ever bring up something like that and then immediately try to pawn it off on someone else. And why didn't you bring it up when it was originally in code review? Keep your fucking mouth shut, stupid faggot.

Personally I have never seen anyone get a significant raise that would be trumped by new comp at another company. If I want more money I'll just go somewhere else. The only time that wasn't true was a company I worked for and did basically nothing and got paid decently but definitely could have made more elsewhere but I was genuinely working like 2 hours a day it was great lol

Python is one of the ugliest widely used languages. I know it became popular because webshitters couldn't into systems programming. But why did it have to be so ugly. Something particularly evil about python is how it hides just how verbose and retarded it is. No other language requires you to put "this." every time you want to access a member variable. No other language handles scope as poorly as python.

Cyber security is a fucking meme. These people are the most useless tech employees and are basically used for plausible deniability. The jobs you're likely to get as an entry level security auditor is also one of the jobs which is most likely to be replaced by ai. Writing a clean database abstraction that can be reused takes time and skill. Scraping every known SQL injection from obscure message boards and blasting your code with them is exactly the kind of work ai would end up doing if we actually find a use for it

I've always felt the same way. It feels incomplete and childish. Non coders don't understand that "muh simple syntax" is a trap. Typing helps, brackets help, semicolons help, they literally make it easier to work with and you have to come up with all of these other defense mechanisms in their absence just for the sake of looking like pseudocode. That's not even getting into the mess that is their build and dependency ecosystem. It's definitely a cheap little scripting language that was hamfisted into other things rather than vice versa.

Also how do people even learn stuff like scripting windows authentication or smtp? There's no actual documentation for anything close to what I need besides a high level overview and marketing "article" from a decade ago. Did tech companies like M$, oracle, vmware stop publishing any technical stuff 20 years ago?
Even the expert level az certs are desu about memorisation of the marketing terms.

Pretty sure that SMTP is well-documented since it's a widely-used standard. Although it might also suffer from having a bunch of vendor-specific implementation details that you need to work with, since the vendors are so big.
I had to do PDF stuff at my job and there's this gargantuan specification document for PDFs. It sucks to read, it sucks to implement and you might have different behaviour opening the PDF in Chrome, Firefox, Apple Preview, etc. Also, who knew that PDFs have support for 3D models?

True. I'm from the Carolinas, NC is perfect. SC is backwards on their business priorities but it's trying to catch up. Charleston should have been a costal gem 50 years ago but the mismanagement of the state and it's taxes only helped baby boomers. SC suffered decades of brain drain to NC which is why it's better.
Florida is still the top city for tech in the south east and it's not even close. No state income tax, shrimple as.

I had a similar thing happen to me. Office air is really dry, I grew a beard to avoid having to shave every day, daily physical activity lessened, and my stressful job led me to drinking/smoking too much. Also, that PNW shithole company probably did have mold in the HVAC system and kept it there to torture their slaves.
The solution is to find a better job that lets you quit your vices . Until then, use beard balm, moisturizing scalp shampoos, and go to yoga classes to destress.

I'm interviewing at other places and I got a mixed vibe on my interview today. They felt so robotic go through the questions and then that's it. And considering the interview was with my direct manager, I don't know how to feel about it. My current manager is a good guy but he doesn't really have direction and he's more of a yes man. I feel conflicted if I do get the offer.

I usually started my day by checking Slack, checking if there were any new security issues/updates I should be aware of, and then you just start pulling up tickets from Jira. Lots of Terraform shit.
Then every now and then something goes down and it eats your entire day, possibly more.

AWS and Terraform is what got me into my IT journey, glad to see people still use it. From what i understand, they are working to just inject IaC into the applications themselves.
Fuck man I'm just having significant troubles trying to stay focused on anything. Is this was burnout feels like? Even going through a OTP is making me feel like "yeah...you know what fuck this"

I work remote, and my boss is a turbo autist and does most of our work for us. I literally do like 30 minutes of work per week. I spend most of my time playing RuneScape and cooming.
I study everyday, and I just got my Palo Alto NGFW Engineer cert, so I'm staying sharp. But man, sometimes I feel like I don't have a purpose. If this job wasn't remote, I would have left a while ago.
I chime in during meetings sometimes, and despite the skills and experience I have, people just somewhat ignore me. Fucking annoying.
But as long as this borderline NEET job allows me to stay remote, I will never leave. Does anyone else know this feel?

Jerking it lowers your zinc. Fucks up your testosterone production if it's done more than every 3 days. You can take a multi-vitamin and zinc to recover better from beating off but generally if you are feeling tired after beat it then you are doing it to much.

All the while, my direct manager is using fucking COPILOT to INCORRECTLY summarize the state of our environment and projects, taking it as gospel and running with it at manager and director meetings like a complete fucking retard. He proudly sent me the list of shit copilot thinks we need to fix, and like 95% of it is completely wrong.
God I wish I never got into tech. Thinking about throwing myself at day trading, and if I succeed I live, and if I don't, I go concrete diving.

>He proudly sent me the list of shit copilot thinks we need to fix, and like 95% of it is completely wrong.
I know it's a white guy thing, but you need to seriously stop giving a shit. It's not your company. They don't give a fuck about you.
Do your job well, keep receipts to cover your own ass, and keep it moving.
Why the fuck do you care what your manager is doing? If he gets fired to incompetence, then you take his job.
Stop caring so much. If you think tech is filled with bad personalities, just wait until you spent even a day in finance.
And to end it:
'If you don't like something, then change it. If you can't change it, then change the way you think about it'
