yes very much especially at the start (it's not really the skills but the people you meet). Anything after that eg phd and you get vastly diminishing returns in terms of job/salary.

docker is the most retarded idea ever. it's like people who never heard of chroot thought installing a whole new isolated system just to have a new environment. by that point, why not just use VMs? it's not like they are much heavier than containers...

is there anyone here who actually enjoys his job?

Jesus christ this project manager I'm working with has really thin skin. He scheduled a meeting for noon because one of our guys is in another time zone. I told that that while I understand the circumstances, in the future we should do our best to avoid meetings during lunch, and he's taking this like as like a personal attack or something. I say

>Me: I think we should avoid 12pm meetings generally
This led the conversation to
>Him: I just feel if you want to carve that boundary out in your life put the calendar block, so I'm not getting chewed out for booking it.
>Me: You're not being chewed out Tyler, I'm sorry if that's how it came across
>Him: Okay, that is sort of how it came across [...] Personally, I'm a little frustrated I have to be people's secretary or coordinator and it felt like I'm getting attacked for just coordinating calendars

No man. I get instant flashbacks to trying to find a job for a whole year straight. I can't do the retarded fucking LinkedIn white bitch tier song and dance.

I did end up sending an application out yesterday but it was the most informal cover letter ever, half shitposting even. If they don't want me at my normal, they can't have me at my formal.

>>107113488

I don't enjoy, but I also don't mind my job. Reboot a server here, restart a service there, maybe implement a change or two. It's easy, it's stress-free and somewhat well-paid. Could be better, but it could be a whole lot worse.

alrighty now I'm kind of stuck since we made a bunch of workflows that probably will be stalled if we go towards the official process and doing reassessment and pausing the flows will fuck up operational things
A. Don't share the information in the team, get fucked later
B. Share the information with just our developer, have him panic over about it
C. Share the information with the whole team and make everyone's day worse, probably won't be cool.

Not legal advice but "internal team presents themselves as the code cops and will send you hate mail if you do stuff but you don't really have to worry about it, they can't actually punish your department" is a pattern I've seen elsewhere

>>107113491
Are you that fat you can't wait another hour for lunch?

>>107113684
Honestly, I was thinking of more B but present it more like "hey this is the official flow, just for your awareness" (obviously in a nicer way). It affects our dev and their team more than my team desu. But I'm working on other company software that didn't really give me the golden "this is probably okay from governance" and I'm now like is this process going to get fucked too?

>>107113491
Eh.... I mean if he's chill then I can be okay with the crashout. I had scenarios like that where I'm like "holy fuck if you all are going to play hardball, then you figure this shit out." Never said it out loud though but I get it.

What's the job description? Is it fully remote? I'm in need of something I can bring with me while I move to east Europe to settle down with my Baltic queen.

>>107113856
That's because people who are actually good technically speaking can't sell themselves to save their lives, so chances are their resume look bad for whatever reason and didn't pass through the HR whore. Now you're stuck with the people who just lie through their teeth in the resume/first interview.

>>107113632
I don't understand how these companies decide to cheap out on work machines. Even here in Europe, you might see a job listing that advertises up to 80k€/year, which is quite decent in large parts of Europe, and then they have a 1000€/year device budget that covers everything including the work computer.

Just how much are you paying your employees to sit around and stare at progress bars to avoid paying for a computer that will be used for three years?

>>107114027

>>107113856
I held a Senior title in my last company, and I still feel afraid that I'm gonna get exposed as knowing nothing in an interview for other senior-level positions.

Like, I've done AWS since before 2020, had an AWS certificate, made systems using Terraform and when I'm interviewed for a DevOps role, I'm panicking inside that I'm gonna get exposed as a fraud that only knows surface-level shit.

>>107113399
like what? asking because i'm in a similar situation

recruiting "seniors" off the bat makes no sense to me. seniors feel like they should know everything about your business front and back. you can't really do that joining a new company.

>>107114139
I already have a job.

Worst case scenario I'm just another shiteater that you've been interviewing so far, best case scenario I am a x10 autist who wants to settle down and will take the first best remote job that's offered (within reason).

why is porn so mid and then im scrolling through social media, just see one safehorny shit and im like HOLY FUCK THIS IS SO FUCKING HOT

if you're working 2 hours a day just get another dev job. theres a subreddit i forget what it's called but there are people working 3 or even 4 jobs and a lot of them are devs in similar positions where they can either slack off or genuinely dont have more than like an hour or two of work per day

>>107105175
>also i'll rather kill myself than manage those gen z fuckers

I'm not even a proper dev, I only write some ETL scripts to move data from a to b - any suggestions what skills to build in my freetime?

This might shock americans but there are nice people born between 1997 and 2012, just like there are annoying people, intelligent people, retarded people, patient people, impatient people, tall people, small people, etc born between those dates

>>107114270
that's kind of an impossible question to answer since there are a thousand niches in programming and idk what you're interested in

Ok so I'm now self-employed and working as an external specialist in my customer's organization. This is pretty cool but also fucking stressful because they do not treat me as an equal coworker. I didn't get any introduction or whatever, they just assume I know my and also their shit from day 0. Like 0 hours allocated for getting familiar with their systems...

Why work more? Play more. Live your life man. You want more money? Make a side business or invest smarter. Don't put your eggs into getting more jobs.

>>107114301
>just run a side business bro
You've never ran a business and have no idea how difficult or stressful it is. Shut the fuck up and kill yourself.

>>107114281
No there aren't.
Why can't they behave themselves?
Why are they coming up to me to tell me how fucking dead inside they are?
Like I give two fucking shits about their fucking problems, I just killed them all in my head a long time ago.
I don't have to torture myself like this.
I won't torture myself like this.
And neither you should.

My zoomer coworkers are the exact same type of people as people in their late 20s early 30s. Guess it's cause of the homogeneous nature of slavic countries?

That's nigger behavior. That's just immigrant behavior.

They have been killed because their humanity has been killed the SECOND they were born.

Avoid publicly traded companies and you won't experience this.

>>107114218
Just my experience but they don't want to be helped, they want to sit and do the bare minimum until they get fired. If you ask how you can help or what they want to do in the future they just say nothing. Like they're going to live at home forever. None of them are interested in starting families so they can't be motivated to do anything with their lives. There's a couple of exceptions but mostly this is my experience with them.

Is there any "safe approved" hobbies to do at work? I was thinking of getting a tech deck and just grinding my desk in between tickets.

>>107114294
I do the same with consultants because if they're too dumb to ask questions then they can get replaced with someone who will. But I do explain this up front.

I'm going pick my best outfit for her :3

>>107114424
go get em sis!

>>107114416
It's really not my problem. I offer to help put them into positions where they'll learn other things to bolster their skills and job security. If they're not interested then fuck em. I'm not responsible for them or their happiness in any way, then I'll get responses like yours like I'm supposed to make excuses along with them or something. They're self-defeating. Even the few of them that report directly to me, they have to either do the job or not, just stop whining about it because everyone else is also suffering and if you don't want guidance or help, then don't expect me to care.

I did it. I applied at the job I wanted.
Now I await the nothingness.

I've started re reading programming books I bought a few years ago as a junior dev and suddenly they are easy as fuck to understand. It feels nice to actually feel some measurable improvement.

>>107114414
Well I do get that and it's just new to me there's no hand holding at all, but also in stuffs that concerns them and not just me they seem to be not initiating anything on their own, just waiting for me to make first contact.

As far as jobs go (I hate working), I think this is the best it's ever going to get.
I work at a remote first company that's been doing it before Covid.
My manager gives me tasks, I complete them, we communicate strictly through Slack and I'm supposed to have one on ones but my manager doesn't give a fuck.
Hours are completely flexible.
Will be sad when I'm eventually canned and the robots take over.

why are managers such spineless worm yes-men?
the little bitch is an instant yes-man for piling more tasks on our ass instead of his along with 24/7 availability of each one of us

I work in healthcare which I guess is fine because I could benefit from it eventually. Everything related to killing my enemies (military) or improving my health, wealth and life enjoyment would be a good job imo.
No way would I work for a job where I help refugees or illegal immigrants unless it greatly benefits me otherwise. I don't like other humans.

>>107114954
I just told you what I think a senior is supposed to know. Obviously some companies will promote you to senior after like three years but when you apply to other companies for a senior position you'll fail the interview miserably.

Yep and those that lie and back stab will get promoted several times in a row because they will do everything in their power to be in the office, have their face cam on 24/7, and use teleconference rooms for meetings across the country.
Which is why they will be getting that promotion instead of you even though they were the ones that wiped the database and you had to clean up that mess.

I have 2 50 lbs dumbells and dont want to pay for a gym

Took a weed gummy on Sunday that was apparently way above my tolerance. I had a full on fucking mental episode and couldn't focus at all the next two days and took them off work. Now I'm back at work today and can still barely focus and can feel myself annoying my boss because I can't hold basic shit in my head. What do

>>107116200
>30
>has a mortgage
>only 2k in the bank
HOW? Did you choose a house that was more than you thought you could afford, didnt account for property taxes, other local taxes, insurance, etc?

>>107116266
>has a mental break
>still goes back to work
do americans really?

>>107116266
>What do
take another weed gummy, Monday is a new week and a new you

>>107116273
i had money back when i was 24. I had around 43k. The problem was that money never went up, it had reached its climax, so it has gradually gone down since then.

>>107116291
>it had reached its climax, so it has gradually gone down since then
Then it will keep going down unless something changes. Did you make more money when you were younger, or maybe you expected more pay than you get, or you got too expensive of a house?

>>107116273
>HOW?
Reminder that two in three Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

>>107116200
how the heck do you have a mortgage?

>>107116384
He is really, really dumb.

>>107116360
>Reminder that two in three Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
have they considered not getting frapalapalattes from Starbucks

>>107116226
True, I will admit it was more of let's get this working and then think of governance later. "oh we got it working" and our boss went like alright just throw it into prod if it works. Bit of a con being technical workers working under the business department. Nobody seems to know exactly how tech works here which sucks since we're just doing silo'd work and I'm just learning there's now proper procedures for these things.

>>107116320
i make more money now than when i was in my early 20s, i make the average of 65k. Car maintenance has fucked me over. A job called me which pays 80k, I think that would work best, but I have no hoped. I got a splunk cert, and going for AWS, but not sure. Life has been too depressing. Since my balance has only gone down, I can expect to soon reach $0 and not go above 10k anymore

>>107116389
not him but quiet luxury. when everything is sucking and you don't have long term goals anymore, a splurge once in a while feels nice.

btw im not in this guy's position. I'm slowly saving up but I have a cousin who makes 1.5x my income at like 120k and STILL lives paycheck to paycheck because he keeps falling for "get rich scheme of the week"

>>107116411
>who makes 1.5x my income at like 120k and STILL lives paycheck to paycheck
I can't believe I need to listen to Americans call us Europeans poor when their bank accounts are fucking empty.

>>107116424
i hate both americans and europeans. we're all retarded for different reasons.
>t. leafland

>>107116424
Euros are poor cause they get taxed 70% of their income. Americans are poor because they spend 80k on stupid shit that they lose.

>>107113491
I have a perpetual 12-1 meeting on teams with myself.
So anyone who tries to schedule a meeting at lunchtime with me, will see I am unavailable.

>>107116424
Americans have become incredibly skilled at extracting money from other americans

>>107116280

I have unlimited PTO but I've been taking a lot this quarter already so I feel bad taking more. Also there's a time sensitive issue with code that I own and I felt bad watching my coworkers scramble to understand it while I do nothing. But also I'm not being very helpful anyways today so maybe more rest would have been the move

>>107116142
i dont like stockpiling because it just gives me an excuse to drink more than i normally do

>>107116451
>I have unlimited PTO
No you don't

>>107112774
Previously I managed to get 1/2/3/4. But that was before I found a steady relationship. Gains goblins are real. Now I can barely .5/1/1.5/2. But I'm bigger and stronger than before. Sex is greatest workout and I won't hear otherwise.

>>107116534
NTA, I was at a company that did, but the pay was not competitive. I left in less than a year because the director manager fella was not going to give me a raise. Just a hunch based on how he danced around it every time

>>107116411
>>107116424
a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck seem to be in that situation because they have bought a bunch of shit on debt
>"i'm living paycheck to paycheck. what am i doing wrong? btw i spend 1k a month on my car loan"
yeah dumbfuck it means you couldn't actually afford the car you bought 2 years ago but you bought it anyway. how did americans get psyopped into paying $80k+ on a car anyway.

>>107116451
have you always had mental issues or is this new? you are not doing yourself or your boss a favor by doing things this way.
IMO you need to talk to a psychiatrist. in my country I could get a medical leave with that. but considering that american workers are slaves, I guess you are totally fucked...

>>107116451

Unlimited PTO is just a ploy to get people to use less PTO. If you give them 30 days, they feel obliged to use all 30. If you give them unlimited, you get them to use less.

>>107116233
kek good lad

hopefully you still get out to be around people? the gym and grocery shopping are my only outlets to " interacts "

>>107116650

>>107116643
Another thing is in some places if you leave a job and haven't used all your pro-rata leave they have to pay you it.
Unlimited they don't, or its a lot less

>>107116650

>>107116562
>NTA, I was at a company that did
No you weren't lmao. Try taking 50 or even 60 days off at a company that has "unlimited PTO", see how they react kek.

>>107116777
I believe /utwg/ is that way, you unemployable Neetger

>>107116806
>waaaah I can't handle the truth
Fuck off, projecting retard. I have 30 days PTO and if I don't take them, management actually becomes concerned kek.
Much more comfy than any "unlimited" PTO scams.

>>107116648
>hopefully you still get out to be around people?
Lol nope WFH and I can go months without talking to another person if I dont make a active effort. Theoretically its probably bad for my mental health but I dont feel it.

>>107116823
>>waaah
Stopped reading there but thanks for confirming you are a worthless NEET

pto doesnt exist. wfh doesnt exist. you dont get free lunch. its all a conspiracy and the entirety of twg is in on it

The issue is that it's not once in a while, it's multiple things, every day.

>>107117016
>you dont get free lunch
This is correct for sure, PTO is priced in your salary, I have seen more positions with high salary without PTO than with.

I wish I could be a piece of shit, not care about anything, and delegate my problems to others in blissful ignorance.

me and my buddy waiting for supper to finish boiling

>>107117016
WFH is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Company saves money and the workers get improved quality of life.

when does it end

How did you do at your first job/internship? I went to a good uni but I'm worried I'm gonna be out of my depth for a long time and might not have a lot of job security

>>107113209
what a happy dog, he is grinning

Today for lunch at the Microsoft cafeteria I decided to try the "chicken katsu burger". It was... fine. Not quite what I expected though. I won't be getting it again.

>>107116399
you're still not explaining why youre losing money, just moping like a hippy.

I make 75k in leafland where taxes are 25% and have achieved 150k and I'm not even 30 yet. That is living alone from age 21 too.

Poor people aren't even trying, are they?

It never ends. When you die, you'll be reincarnated as another wagie, beast of burden, or food animal. Only the elites can reincarnate as elites or ascend to higher planes of existence.

They have really bad parents, that's all.
It's the only reason why they are poor, no one can disprove this.

I mean, he did say that we "need to do reviews soon so we can get you a raise and get you married to your girl" but like, I want praise too. Hopefully I can negotiate something nice in a month

>>107118929
It's a cucked situation, you're leaving the comfort of your home to sit at a desk in an office do a job that clearly could have been done without all that hassle. It certainly beats being unemployed but that's about it.

The project I’m working on launches in a little less than a month so I think I’ll ask then. My boss has been really busy with hiring and I’ve been very communicative about the status of the project but ik if I talk about a raise and use my work on this project as leverage, there won’t be a whole lot to show for it yet

window shopping at hardware stores for tools you only barely know how to use so you can fantasize about being a DIY chad

>>107119621
Oddly specific. But it sounds like fun, thanks!

>>107119621
I do DIY for my car and house. Anon tool shopping is fun until you got to buy hardware/parts then it sucks.

>>107119630
princessauto.ca is unironically one of my favorite sites on the internet

https://www.princessauto.com/en/surplus/category/200-000-000-000

ive never actually bought anything but who doesnt want a big box of random weird chinky tools? a man has to have dreams

>>107119707
honestly every time i check im like "yeah i could use 7000 zip ties and a 60ft threaded rod for 5 bux total (79.99 S&H)" but the thought of paying a whole twelve dollars for a drill makes me nauseous

>>107119724
>12$ for a drill
Anon i buy the cheap Harbor Freight Bauer drill $40 and that is more expensive than whatever crap you were going to buy. Drill bits are equally as worse since those burn out. But the batteries is the real pain in the ass for these tools.

>>107116226
>Your boss signed off on it, the liability is on him.
So what? Anon will still be the one fixing up the fuckup and having to go "above and beyond" to meet whatever deadline has been set by management. It's literally not the boss's problem.

>>107112774
>>107113150
That is like the easiest thing to be replaced, is it not?
Akschually, I'm probably asking the wrong individuals.

shadowboxing rn

>>107117489
Should have gotten the pork bao, it was quite swell

>>107119768
i was being hyperbolic and further joking by >implying the "drill" was one of these dumb electric screwdriver shits (which I did once impulse buy for like 4$ at a thrift shop and have never used once because it didnt come with a power supply and ended up needing some weird voltage i did not care to nigger rig)

mostly when i do my window shopping it's either consumables or stuff i genuinely dont need or have space for or both like bench vises and press brakes and shit. though when you said "hardware/parts" i thought oyu meant like big boxes of screws or trying to get replacement non-consumable parts from manufacturers

>>107119775
die mothafucka die
ORAORAORAORAORAORAORA

>>107119857
Yes i meant consumables for parts/hardware. Buying shit like spark plugs, screws, oil/filter, door hinges, paint ect. That is what really sucks about tool shopping since you are buying it for a reason.

>>107119872
i have absolutely bought paint just because it's on sale and liked the color, figuring i'll rattle can or blob it on some consoomer electronic

buying paint for actual active projects isnt something i mind either. painting is relaxing.

same for oil or whatever, stuff gets fucked up, i now have several open cans of wd40 because it was on sale and forgot where i put the last can when i needed something to be a little bit looser

whats wrong with buying parts/consumables if you actually need it, that's the even better feeling. the only better one is already having something close in a bin somewhere because you bought it on sale a year ago, and the "reason" sucks itself but fixing it feels good man

>>107119964
I'd rather have shit last forever desu. Projects are fun since you learn and save money but spending money on it regardless sucks. I spent 4k$ usd to build a fence that easily saved me 10k$ if i paid someone else to do it but it sucked having to measure, buy, install and remove the old fence. Glad i did that myself to save me a bunch of money the same way i save money doing my own brakes/rotors for my car.

>>107119993
i think we are just different people. i would enjoy building the fence but paying 4k or 14k would both hurt me either way

also this conversation is giving me hella deja vu

>>107119004
Just airgap your cloud, retard

>>107120033
You could be my coworker. I also had to pay someone 4600 for a AC unit if that makes it more clear. And i am going to spend 1k$ to build my own shed since the last prefab one on the property was rotted out. God i hate spending money on projects even if saves me money to DIY.

>>107120073
the fun is in the project itself, not the savings

everything still gotta cost money

Its overhead press. Dumbbell overhead press isn't nearly as heavy but great for shoulders.

If I lose my job for whatever reason, which I think is unlikely but I'm preparing for the worst, what are the odds I can find a new one? I'm a SWE, 2 yoe
I'm in the US btw

>>107120500
6-24 months its getting bad. It used to be a 2 month wait. You can drop down to an IT job with your SWE experience since they are always looking for programmers who can mess with server administration.

>>107120551
Has it not gotten better recently? My YouTube recommended implies it has

>>107120607
Its Q4 so no one is hiring unless its warehouses. Not enough of these unemployed people have join the military to make a dent in the supply. Its considered a rolling recession since GS(us government jobs) and Tech is getting hit the hardest right now. More concerning is that the banks are getting hit again with risky investments but it won't be 2008 levels of shit. Last time it was like this it was 2012-14 but the tech industry was in its full swing its just energy, military and blue collar jobs were getting shafted at the time.

>>107120644
Interesting... now you have me afraid to ask for a raise lol, my boss hinted at giving me one which means I should take it but probably not as much as I was anticipating. I'm making $70k rn, first job out of school and I've been here ever since. I was hoping for $85k at the end of the year but I think I might ask for 80 just to be safe. I don't want to have a target on my head because of my salary. They're hiring someone who is supposedly really good with about 3 yoe for $80k. I probably produce faster results since when I was in the interview with them and the guy seemed like a "do it by the books" kinda guy which isn't very productive in a startup environment so idk. I hate all of this uncertainty

>>107120454
Beg him to take you with him like a bitch.

>>107120644
>Its Q4 so no one is hiring unless its warehouses.
I'm having better luck than Q3.

>>107120672
You won't ever feel safe in any environment i have 12 months saved up and i plan on saving another 6 months just incase. Your best bet is to keep learning/adding to the CV/projects and preparing for interviews. It's not all over. You should hint at the pay raise being 90k desu. They are more likely to fire newly hired people than people that actually contribute to the workplace more so if they plan on giving you a pay raise.

Also pay off your debts its the best course of action when you come across good money at the workplace.

>>107120696
Thanks :) yeah we're a team of 25~, 10 of which have been hired in the last 5 months and they're hiring another 20 over the next few months. I don't think there's a lack of money that they have to give but a lot of the people they're picking up are new grads that they're paying $55k~ for (low end 50 but some have negotiated for upwards of 60), so I think $80k is honestly fair but idk if my boss will see it that way

>>107120715
