Day in the life of a tech worker:

>Wake up at 10am
>do daily standup, my long hair is a mess and im wearing just a robe, dont care
>back to bed for a nap
>wake up
>masturbate to minors being sluts on social media
>complain about foids on r9k
>write code for 1 or 2 hours
>have lunch
>go get groceries
>check the time, wagies arent even out of the cagie yet, jfl
>get home and masturbate more

lately i've been wondering what's really the difference between working from home and being rich. because the main thing that people envy from the rich is not doing a 9 to 5.

Once again I'm in talks with for a new job position that would mean a neat salary raise along with more responsibilites being fully aware I'm just going to reject the offer and stay at my current job slacking off all day.

None of my coworkers have improved in all the time I've known them. It's astounding. Zero new skills, abilities, or ideas. They are truly incapable of perceiving and applying information

>>106829586
They sound like they have more going on in their life than just work.

The "you need to have a personal repo with code samples" is dumb shit. If I built something amazing I'm not giving it away for free to the world and the rest of the time I'm working on proprietary codebases for an employer so wtf lol.

>>106829615
>not one was even wearing a suit
You'll be lucky if I'm even wearing pants.

>>106829820
Eh, that's a retarded mentality anon.
You can have a simple "format1 to fomat2 converter" published as open source. It's just so the interviewer knows you can actually write code without needing to be whipped.
I have three super simple libraries on github and it changed how interviewers see me, for sure.

>>106829852
This is a waste of time, no one is going to bother checking your repo when you can simply copy and paste code from anywhere.

>>106829852

But you're still going to make them do the LC to do that. The github thing is just a stupid ritual that never makes a difference. Anyone can copy paste and push code to a repo.

>>106829804
>tie is fucked up
WOULD NOT HIRE

>>106829498
Look, if you are happy with that, why not? You know what you got, but not what you get.
You wouldn't be the first guy to jump into shit expecting the grass to be greener on the other side. With that being said, the danger is of course staying in a workplace that is unfullfilling or otherwise something you aren't fully pleased with due to it not being horrible either when you could get something that is better for you, economically and mentally.

>>106829865
It's not that they think having a git repo is something special, it's more like someone not having a git repo is a red flag. An ick, if you will.

>>106829911

Once again, you're not accepting repo projects as proof. They're still going to put you through the multi panel coding tests.

>>106829865
Well, you're gonna waste your time with something whether you like it or not.
You can try to minmax interviews, learn keywords, pay a shady website to rehearse interviews, etc.
You can try to minmax your resume, use AI tools to pick the correct keywords, pay for common ATSs to form a feedback loop as to how interviewers see you, etc.
OR you can just do what you like to do, takes like an afternoon, and works better than pretty much any other option.
Since I published my libraries I realized I often skip the first HR filter calls, they just send me directly to meet my future boss on semi-technical interviews.
>Anyone can copy paste and push code to a repo.
Yes, it's not a perfect system. But it's still a great sign that you are not retarded and are "passionate about software".
Plus, they can ask you about your libraries and you have to talk about them. Pretty sure the jeetpasters can be easily filtered by a simple "So, why did you publish this?".

I just took one of the "this takes a few days to complete" projects and spent maybe an hour or two re-doing the whole thing in SQL, and now it will run in 15 seconds every month instead of 10 hours of pivoting and copy pasting and double checking across 300K rows in an xlsx file.

I get folks here are not technical but Jesus titty fucking christ, is this how typical finance departments are running?

Holy shit, I'm retarded. I was thinking LC was a waste and didn't bother with any of it, but I just realized I can just use my $LLM credits to solve a bunch of questions during the weekend.

>>106829959

You know what worked best for me? I spent about ~2 months desperately trying to check off all the boxes like you said. Be the happiest and most eager guy. And then after about like 6 gay multi round interviews I realized it was all fucked. The final 2 I didn't give a fuck about and was basically a pissant having gone cynical about it and they both gave me offers. So what I learned is: make the interviewer feel small and irrelevant instead and their lizard brain will want to prove itself and appeal to you instead. TADA

>>106829986
>I spent about ~2 months desperately trying to check off all the boxes like you said
It's not about "checking off all the boxes", that's why you were filtered.
It's about "I don't have much to do so I'll write code because I like doing that". Sorry you're not passionate about what you work with.

>>106829986
>make the interviewer feel small and irrelevant instead and their lizard brain will want to prove itself and appeal to you instead.
That's more or less my experience. It's fucked up that it all rests on how confident you seem. The less you care the better it goes.

>>106830018

Nah, you're all disingenuous cunts. You like raking desperate people over the coals and looking for reasons to demean and write them off. The moment you're challenged and demeaned instead and made to look like a fool, or someone that the candidate wants nothing to do with, your own gay brain is going to want to suck them in. It's just like fucking women. Set the care meter to 20% not 80%, it's fishing.

Did you make this info known to the rest of the team? If so, you're fucked - everyone, including your boss, likes the fact that they have a lazy girl job. You just made enemies with everyone on your team.
The correct course of action is to pretend to work for the day and run your script close to EOD.

>>106830041
>You like raking desperate people over the coals and looking for reasons to demean and write them off.
My nigger in fried chicken, I am not a hiring manager. I'm just someone who went through the troubles of finding jobs many times and I realized being passionate helps.

>>106830047
this is like my friend telling me to absolutely not write understandable code because it just makes you replaceable

>>106830066

Well, this is twice now that it hasn't for me. And I do understand general human psychology so it tracks. It's the same reason you don't put "openToWork" on your LinkedIn. It reeks of desperation and eagerness to please which is naturally repulsive to the choosers out there. Two have to care somewhat to make a potential match, but the one that cares less has all of the leverage. If prospective employers can sense that you're "better than them" they go all in. This last time it was a legitimate mistake, I had accepted another offer and was checking out and these dudes got so desperate they offered 50% higher than that. Ok

Anyway no, I'm not going to prune and preen a github repo in my off hours after 8-10 hours a day of soul crushing programming work and you can sit on a fist if that's your arbitrary requirement because I know your organization is mostly composed of illiterate unwashed 3rd worlders doing the same job for peanuts

>>106830047
The funny thing is that my boss doesn't seem to care that much, she is neither impressed nor upset partially because she's trapped in endless meeting hell and partially because she doesn't know enough SQL to vet my work - my team members don't care either because they know I'm the only one technically inclined enough to do this so they get to keep trucking along with.. whatever it is they're doing. It's... Kafkaesque

>>106830066
>>106830018
I dunno about that, in my job searches trying to appear (or actually being) "passionate" got me written off.

I literally was threatened with a military charge for doing this at my other job. and even then still just re-wrote the script after visibly deleting it, and would run it at the start of my watch and 15 minutes before ending it, then 5 to clean up its mess because I can't code for shit but it at least did something, another 5 doing actual manual process stuff (literal printing/stapling/by-hand highlighting/putting in sticky tabs/etc) and the last 5 cooking up something to look busier than I was and yet in complete control of the situation

This is profoundly sad. It's good you can focus at work now, but sad it's needed for you to make a living, and a working not for yourself, but a company that is not yours.

>>106830209
Fuck you nigger, Im a NOC tech doing actual work and I get 48k

>>106830275

I think it's actually pretty natural. Think about human psychology. We aren't built for the virtual. We're meant to feel motivate by real things, real work, demanded of us by a collective we belong to and that needs us. Family groups basically. What happens when a company can't foster that culture? If you feel faceless, disposable, unappreciated, and the work you do trivial, virtual, intangible, why would you ever feel motivated to do it? It would actually be weirder if you can. Those that can muster the interest and drive are the exception.

>>106830282
>doing actual work
>I get 48k

>>106830225
do you have A+/Net+/Sec+?

>>106830311
yes, numbers inside a computer being the purpose of 8 hour work days is fucked up.

Taking drugs for computer work, or manual labor is fucked up too

A man can enjoy both of these if he enjoys it. Many men love programming and being inside the virtual.

Money is a motivator, but when you do drugs to get paid, it's profoundly sad.

>>106830380

Well, who isn't drinking coffee or energy drinks? In all likelihood humans were only built to have ~4 hours of productivity max per day, in 2 hour windows in the morning and the evening, with a lot of rest in between.

>finally leaving the pip factory
on to my next hellhole!

it dont matter. none of this matters.

>>106830404
many people don't drink those
caffeine is also a lot different than Adderall

I think we're capable of a lot more than 4 hours if we benefit from it and there is sufficient purpose

>>106830448

It's not all that different. I would actually argue low-dose addy xr is the superior stimulant. It just gives you higher baseline focus and drive, without all of the anxiety and jitter caffeine gives. And I'd say at minimum 80% of corporate America is on caffeine.

We are "capable" of more than 4, obviously, but it isn't what we're naturally optimized for, if that makes any sense. Or else we wouldn't touch stimulants at all.

Little kids basically exhibit human nature in its purest form. They wake up, go crazy for 2 hours in the morning, tank and nap during the mid-day, and then go crazy for another 2 in the evening before bed. We're basically crepuscular, like cats. We evolved in hot climes that made mid day productivity useless and even dangerous.

I agree with the others, don't be too eager if you can not expect a financial return, but damn, LLMs are insanely good at all flavors of SQL. in fact, you could probably prompt all your migrations in a day or two and finish without lifting a finger

anon... how many female students did you see in engineering or CS school? women don't give a shit about tech. they don't care about technical stuff either.

>>106830723

Generally speaking, the more low level and strict you get with a programming language, the better the AI handles the context and can generate code for it. SQL has no ambiguity or flexibility at all and a strict syntax with simple building blocks. If you give the AI accurate parameters it will usually handle it.

Front end stuff is a nightmare with AI. There are so many languages/frameworks involved with so much change over the years and so many ways to skin a cat that it just bugs out and generates shit.

Our entire team is just badge swiping and heading home at this point. RTO is dogshit

You aren't seriously still wagecucking for FAANG wannabes, are you? Just create your own start-up.

https://www.diana.nato.int/accelerator-programme.html

>>106830751
another thing to consider is that most devs are rather mediocre at SQL and LLMs know tricks they can not even dream of.

There was this very convoluted multi hundred loc SQL right in the heart of the business domain. The one that actually generates $$$ for the business. The one that was carefully optimized by several people throughout the years and takes multiple staff engineers approval to submit a PR for. Well, it turns out you can just throw it at some LLM and it produces a more refined query and has like 2x the performance. Never seen so many high ranking db admins sweating and coping at the same time

>>106830875
to be fair SQL is pretty shit-simple and 90% of the problems with databases are HR rat skill issues coming up with utterly retarded schema because they dont know how telephone numbers work or that people can have more than one name

Is there anyone in defense that isn't a fucking furfag?

Yet another day where I'm given a neigh impossible problem and basically forced to slam shit together and hope for the best. Performance of the application gets worse and worse. The schema is stretched to the limit of sanity. triggers keep being slapped on to fix up the denormalized mess.

I am going insane. I literally don't want to work anymore. If it weren't for how seemingly insane this AI bubble is and how bad jobs are to get, id probably just quit now and live off gainz, maybe do some part time contracting work or something.

In fairness to my colleagues, the two SQL dbs we use are utter shite, the main one is aggregated sales data from the source but there almost no QC, it's rife with wrong codes, mismatched labels, etc - not to mention the design of the whole fucking pipeline was done by offshore devs in the early 2000s and management hasn't bothered to even consider shipping v2.0 so you have all the issues that come with legacy SQL written by literal slave laborers in BENGALURU or whatever

>They fucked up and didnt make proper primary keys for ANY table so everything has to be LEFT JOIN'd
>The main fact table is individual sub transactions that are supposed to correspond to a single overall transaction but the way the sales software works is it doesn't auto-populate all of the 89 different fields that make up a transaction, so you'll have 5 sub transactions on the same big transaction with missing or differently valued codes on 4 even though they shouldn't all be shoved in the same big table and should be keyed onto somewhere else in the process

Anyways, a good amount of these issues could be solved upstream if I had any say in how the pipes worked but if you think I could pass through the 17 layers of architecture/compliance hell to get write access to a production server, think again. One time I asked to get access to a dev server so I could try to build something rudimentary that my colleagues could use and had to go through rounds of "go ask Bill in blah blah department" until I finally got to some OG white man with a wizard beard whose only job in 2025 is to tell people how lauaghable it is to think they can get access to even the most insignificant of dev servers

lol. thats assuming a lot post-covid. not many people i know are actually making themselves better

>>106834939
I'm thinking indie were you hire contractors for certain parts. If you want a small team then you gotta set aside a wallop of cash for a few years of production.

I don't know why I dread technical interviews so much. It's not even a live problem-solving one, just a discussion.

>>106834967
No clue i am the opposite the screening interview is far more stressful. I just study my technical interview by reviewing my resume and other documentation related to the job.

>>106834962

hey, can you explain to me why is saying "sex with x" a meme?

>>106835532
it's parody of two main things. 4chan is an overly sexual place even by internet standards and uses a lot of truncated phrases (e.g. L O N D O N, sexoooooo, etc)

>>106835562
i know what 4chan is, thanks. i'm asking about that phrase in particular.
what is the meme value in just saying "sex with" this or that or the other?

>>106829331
Least pedosexual techfag.

>>106829358
It's the humiliation rituals. They don't matter if you're the prostitute type. Humiliations don't work on prostitutes. I'm a prostitute myself and it's good for me.

>>106835587
it's just randomly viral brainrot. Like how americacas use you know, yeah, i mean, literally as filler in conversations.

Where would you go if you wanted to escape it all for couple months?
Thailand?

>>106835656
Thailand is crowded nowadays. I would be chill at europe for a bit.

>>106835663
EU doesnt have lady boys.

guys I did it i am a few months into a Devops job and HR decided to expand the team even further and on day 2 some random jeet start pinging me about "what does it take to be a devops engineer" . I ended up telling him off to dyor and my boss was "yeah he pinged me too". absolutely disgusting.

>>106835708
I go to thailand to suck on massive 19 year old titties. 19 year olds in europe have an over inflated sense of worth and I hate dating. I want to suck tits and destroy cunts and empty my balls like a nigger

>>106835608
>it's just randomly viral brainrot.
I guess... It's just a very strange meme format, to me. Kinda like that "nobody: nothing" format from a few years back, which I never understood.
>Like how americacas use you know, yeah, i mean, literally as filler in conversations.
I'm talking about a specific meme that gets posted around here, not conversational filler.

>>106835718
>he has a boss
>made it

>>106835895
these memes serve the same purpose. They obviously lack any real meaning. When normalfags say "literally" they don't literally mean "literally". It's just for emphasis and the new meaning is divorced from the original meaning. And if they say "sex with x" they don't mean it. It's just filler that pads out a conversation and lets them grind daily rewards from socialization with the least amount of effort possible.

>>106835901
well if you were in tech support up until a couple of years it's a win for you(me). Senior then freelance/b2b are the next steps. Im just so happy I went over the HR stupidity and the jeet nepotism.

>>106835930
Or just do freelance from the get-go. Me and my friend started going it in uni so we didn't even have degrees. I can't imagine dealing with HR cunts because I dated a few, fucked the shit out of them and they all had BPD and were punching themselves and clawing at their own vulvas after they begged me to fuck them hard and abuse them physically for hours to pretend they got raped.

You can't imagine the horror I experienced. Pregnancy scares with BPD cunts, screaming rape so loudly that the neighbors were knocking at my door and called the cops, imagine dealing with that, and they were all career women in healthcare or HR. Those fields attract the most demonic subhumans in society. Society will never gaslight me about females being equal to males.

>>106835928
I'm still not sure I agree with the filler comparison, but it's an interesting take nonetheless. Best I can tell, after having pondered over it for several hours, the meme is meant to invoke the image of someone who is so sex-obsessed that the only coherent sentence he can form, is simply naming the thing he is obsessed over.

>When normalfags say "literally" they don't literally mean "literally". It's just for emphasis and the new meaning is divorced from the original meaning
Yeah, I noticed this even back in 2007. I tried adding an urbandictionary entry to explain this exact phenomenon, but it got rejected, since I was probably too young to write a good one at the time. The more recent example of something similar, is people's obsession with the word "unironically". As you say, it's there to add emphasis, a synonym to "honestly/seriously/no joke". What pisses me off is when "unironically" (to add emphasis) gets used as a drop-in replacement for "ironically" (to highlight the irony). Congrats, you just replaced a word with its literal opposite. Like a kid who just learned the word "apparently", overusing it to seem more adult. Faggot.

>>106836020
Not in this market. If you did this a few years ago kudos to you. I want some security and predictability in life. I want boring.

>>106836057
dealing with hr cunts is antithetical to boring (and not in a fun way) and we don't have the same stability boomers had when they wagerotted for decades in the same factory

>>106834579
In fairness you at least saved yourself the headache of working with the average jeet dev. They are extremely mediocre but have insane egos and absolutely cannot be negotiated with. Symptoms of being low T utterly agricultural subhumans. On the other hand you have now experienced first hand why immigration programs cannot be killed fast enough. Even if tomorrow everyone in the West woke up and realized importing shitskins was in fact a mistake you would have still been jeeted. You and the endlessly long line of other people to have been jeeted.

quick call?

>>106836325
No. Long call.

>>106836032
Yeah, I agree with you that it's a bit more complex of a topic than what I'd described in my previous posts. I'd better summarize it as normalfags having a more emotional, feminine way of thinking that makes the memes and terms they popularize less logical but more fun and relatable which is very subjective. Sex memes like sex with x, rawdogging, barebacking, cuck, simp are very relatable to pussyless young men. I'm thinking about pussy too.

honestly it just makes me laugh because that's maybe 15 seconds of work on my part, while a real ticket usually takes me from 15 minutes to several man-hours depending on the shit involved

>overusing it to seem more adult
Trust me pretty much nobody who uses words like this is trying to do this. It's often done on purpose knowing it's just memespeak. Either it gets accepted that way and the meme becomes the mundane or it dies out like any other fad. The important thing to remember is that if you speak English as your first language it's your bitch. Us native speakers can start changing the meaning of words and it makes sense to others because we are able to infer from the context. Meanwhile a foreigner will be fucking baffled.

>>106835895
it's partially funny be repetition, much like any meme, but also like i said its a parody of the truncated language 4chan tends to use and how irreverent people tend to be in that they ignore the content of your post to fixate on one thing they find interesting for a reason itself not even relevant to your post (usually attached risque content, which also created the "lust provoking image // irrelevant time-wasting question" format)

it's sorta like an evolution of Yeahposting where one would respond to a long high effort post or complex question with simply "Yeah", itself an evolution of the absolutely ancient joke response of simply answering "Yes" to a multiple choice question

As a non-coder, it has allowed me to build things I would have given up on without it. It is helping me with DIY electronics as well, but it is much worse at that than coding.

>>106836113
I tend to disagree a bit. I've jad HR approach me on linkedin for BS jobs. So I guess Im on the right path. I have a friend who would play with HR and make them bid him into 6 figures per month (i'm from east europistan) but that was pre-covid times. Honestly I fear that as b2b I will have to deal with this every time my contract ends. I prefer less money, more free time and having to work with cool people. (Boss hates jeets and uses words like based, may as well frequent this board). I mean I am paid more than 2/3rds of the population to learn stuff, how bad am I ?

>>106832903
Not much. AI code generation has been a hit of miss for me. A lot of time prompting for something just errors out, or it makes changes that are completely hallucinated and don't compile.

Really the most useful part has been that AI code completions are generally better than traditional ones.

>The advent of Artificial Intelligence marks a decisive paradigm shift in transnational professional correspondence, acting as a digital panacea for the trepidation non-native speakers often experience due to linguistic impediments. These sophisticated algorithms eradicate deep-seated syntactic incongruities, undertaking the wholesale reconfiguration of convoluted phrasing into structures that possess both mellifluous fluency and unequivocal clarity. Furthermore, AI provides continuous lexical augmentation and precise tonal calibration, interceding to proffer domain-specific vernacular and ensuring the message maintains an appropriately balanced, professionally congruent register. The integrated feature of cross-cultural acuity shields the communicator from inadvertent offense, safeguarding critical business relationships from subtle fissures caused by semantic or cultural misunderstandings. Ultimately, this technological efficaciousness dramatically accelerates the non-native user’s compositional velocity, instilling the vital professional attribute of communicative hegemony and fostering profound epistolary self-assurance.

holy shit $1200 a month i assume that is eating out, drinking and renting a condo right? Sounds alot more expensive than i imagined.

i considered that an acceptably low number and just eyeballed it. you could get a place for $300-500, SIM card for maybe $20 and whatever you want on a weed/food. that'd be your minimal setup. could be under $1200

Old Chinese manager lady has started frantically messaging after hours about AI this week after not talking about anything for the past 11 months.
I don't care what her situation is with upper management shoving AI down everyone's throat, I am going to set an example that I don't work past 5pm. Several examples, if this keeps up

>>106843393
I could swing it no problem but it really seems like that tourism industry has bumped up the prices out there like crazy. In singapore even american salaries would have a hard time affording a house but then again so do the locals.

Women will forget everything you tell them and blame you for their failures. Be aware managers are even more scatterbrained if they are women. You need some serious documentation to backup your complaints.

At this point I'm looking forward to the final death of the internet. Get everyone back into nature and smaller communities. We don't need to be spending our whole lives babbling into the void at people we'll never meet.

/utwg/ here
I will join you guys one day

>>106843930
>Get everyone back into nature
I'm ok with this part
>smaller communities
I'm scared of this. I can't articulate my thoughts vocally as easily as I would through written text. I'd probably just be a warm body at meetups going "yeah" or making body cues to do the same thing. Either that, or people would have to wait a minute for me while I buffer to formulate a real thought into words

>>106843992

for me it would say "born to" with the excel logo because I love excel and making spreadsheets, the under "forced to" it would show a neet lying in bed and a steam library full of games I didn't enjoy

>"I see you have the terms 'progression' and 'regression' here, that's kind of confusing, just say whether it should change or not"

I am quitting this job, I don't want to engage with this ridiculous scenario by arguing this is insane

>>106844105
The point of excel isn't to "make spreadsheets" or to ever enjoy the feeling of accomplishment. These days industry pretty much runs itself, "jobs" are quangos exchanged for favors, filled to check boxes, or staffed with people the hiring manager "vibes with". In this context, excel is properly understood as a disciplinary device and/or an ascetic ritual, the meaning of which would be lost if the "worker" were to "enjoy himself". Such a pervert has no place in this system and would ruin it for everyone else.

>>106844137
ive never heard anyone ever use the term progression test

>>106844169
well it's like the opposite of a regression test
I suppose a more standard term would be a functional test

>>106844188
every test is a regression test though. make sure functionality didn't regress. if you are adding a new functional test it's immediately now a regression test to make sure that feature continues working

>>106844193
the progression tests only run once though, so they never turn into regression tests

>>106844193
isn't a regression test focused on ensuring nothing breaks after a change rather than whether the new features work correctly thoughever

Which social media do you use?

>>106844195
>>106844200
I guess I see what you are saying but my team only adds tests that we intend to run forever. If I write some unit test that only I looked at for bring up testing, no one ever reviews it on my PR because no one will ever run it and it will most certainly be broken in 6 months because things change

what is it about "data warehouses" that seems to attract the absolute bottom of the barrel design and management practices?
like the one i have to interact with:
>tables are named after jira epics
>each jira epic can have dozens of tables, each repeating some bit of data on the main table for that epic
>most table and column names are 50+ characters
>denormalized in the stupidest way imaginable, rife with data duplication like putting legal names and cost centers in the education table
>zero attempt at using the relational part of a relational database
>at least once a week, one or more of the tables we use will either be empty or have each row duplicated hundreds of times
>there are dev, qa, and prod environments, but they arent the same because they manually deploy changes and mess around with shit, causing some tables to be inaccessible to us in certain environments whenever they decide to add ssns to the schema for shits and giggles
oh and its aws athena too so there isnt a decent intellij plugin i can use to explore it within my ide

my manager asks me such baffling questions that I almost question whether or not she's trying to be malicious
I've worked in insurance for 5 years, so I've looked at a policy or two and created end-to-end test plans
She asks me "Are you sure you know what a quote is, or what happens to it after it's bound? Maybe take a look at the policy lifecycle page"

>my manager asks me such baffling questions
I've been there.
I have a PM who is absolutely retarded in regards to tech things. Literally never wrote a line of code in his life, nor does he intend to.
Anyways, sometimes I fix something and he asks "can I see the code?". I show him the code and ask "Does that clarify anything?" to which he replies "no.".
I don't get it, I can't even see the malicious angle he might be taking. It's not a joke either.

>>106844668
you can refer to a 3rd party expert. Another use case for LLMs is to feed them your work and forcefeed the result to your mgr
>Well, I asked AI and it says fine, please take a look
no one wants to argue with the mighty AI

4 work days weeks are a giga scam aren't they
Found a job position that basically said
>YEP YOU HEARD RIGHT WE GOT 4 WORK DAYS/WEEK!!!
>also the candidate should be willing to study in their own free time
>also should always be reachable

This is basically just them paying you 4 days to work 5 kek

>>106845430
Sounds like the position itself is the scam, I have colleagues on 3 days/week and believe me they don't work extra during downtime. We're not americans though

>>106845447

>implying this is not a requirement for run of the mill peons
why do you think people complain about 60h work weeks? Most webdev jobs usually come with some oncall anyway.
If they pay 80% of a normal job that is a red flag in itself, HOWEVERTHOUGHBEIT I would gladly take that offer

Hows the ride Mr Bones?

AI has only worsend my life so far
There has been a few artworks that I would say are genuinely nice, but all that drowns in the sea of slop that has been generated and it's only getting worse.
not to mention all the damage its doing via disrupting the economy, displacing workers, making misinformation easier to spread etc.
and every time I tried to use it for some coding issues it wasted more time than it saved by making up some bullshit.

it's literal demon technology.
