seriously FUCK this shit. he is the laziest dumbest faggot yet life just hands him an ez pass. then I hear about other people who do nothing and their business just takes off. it's all fucking luck.
Maybe you'd have more "luck" if you weren't an angry and vindictive sperg.
Aaron Nelson
the answer is yes there is a spectrum. some people can't lose other people can't win most people are in the middle this shit is not a coincidence. we are probably in a simulation. if you are very unlucky you are probably going to the opposite with your next character

how am I being vindictive faggot?
I've never done anything bad to him or wished bad upon him. good for him he's doing so well...but I sit here and compare think about how easy he has it to others and it's just ridiculous
Tyler Scott
Wow, great thread OP! Thanks for the peak into your shitty life!
Landon Richardson
you're on Jow Forums(nel), fuck off
Aaron Sullivan
So after millions of hands played, does luck usually still end up prevailing over skill?
Liam Bailey
Why don't you just try being more lucky?
Bentley Smith
congratulations OP you've finally realized business and success is entirely luck and there's no point in trying at anything when some other person can come along and have it all handed to them. whatever is going to happen will happen no matter how hard you fuss or fight
usually it's normies this happens to for no real reason. the only common denominator is them being normies
Austin Fisher
for me yes. i sit on the shitty luck side but only slightly and when i suck enough dick there is always a big spicke og good like that lasts a few days but my unlucky streaks are much longer(sometimes months) i just have to grind out the shit luck streaks and play a bit differently when i realize i'm in one

>big spicke og good like big spike of good luck what the fuck

how do people get/keep their job as programmers when they can't program? i'm not in tech and i've never understood this
Nathaniel Robinson
You are obviously a fucking retard. Statistically significant events like that can be identified with simple statistics. Outliers exist but not like you describe them. Read about the gamblers fallacy. Then kill yourself
Isaac Jackson
Does this thread look like a motherfucking blog to you, NIGGUH?
luck = recognizing opportunities when they present themselves and taking advantage. you've probably had plenty of shots but are too autistic to see them right in front of your face.
James Martinez
It is fucking insane. It is 100% due to nepotism. Either they have family working there, or they have a friend on the inside. Either way, their resumes are put on the top of the stack and they are given TONS of slack during the interviews. It is bullshit and the problem is only getting worse.
Jace Martin
how do they keep their job though? programming seems really black and white, you can either do it or you can't. not like some other jobs where you can bluff your way along.
Josiah Harris
You’ve got absolutely no idea how to get through life do you?
There’s one word that can sum up what Mr Lucky has that you don’t.
Charisma.

It's not as black and white as it seems. People can write code that "works" It's bug-ridden, slow-running, and extremely prone to breaking, especially as development continues. The problem is, unless you have a very dedicated team, and a PM that isn't completely braindead and understands the basics of CS, no one is going to raise any concerns. Mostly because they also suck as developers and are just there for the paycheck. You would be astonished at how poorly things are written. A product may look clean an polished from the outside, but it is just barely being held together by bandaids on the inside.
Leo Gomez
they write shitty code that isn't scalable and has to be redone at a later point in time.
every fucking time I interview somewhere I have to take a 1 hour coding assessment beforehand then do a white board test at the actual interview. I know people who have never had to do a single one of these before, not even from nepotism, just sheer fucking luck.
James Smith
>I know people who have never had to do a single one of these before, not even from nepotism, just sheer fucking luck. That's incredible. I literally cannot think of anything to say about this. Just seething with jealousy I guess.
Nicholas Morgan
There's a bell curve for everything. Looks, skills, talent, and even luck.
so the cs bubble is just a meme? Actually competent devs will still be needed?
Adam Rogers
Yes. But proving your a competent dev is difficult, especially when HR is riffling through 100s of resumes a day. Just better hope you already know someone at the company that can put in a good word.
Henry Cox
>Actually competent devs will still be needed?
lel, no
Camden Nguyen
no, it's not a meme at all. CS is shit. I would never do it again knowing what I know now. I'd still program as a hobby, but not as a career choice. so many better careers out there. for the same amount of time invested into a CS career, you can invest that time into so many other industries and come out with comparable pay without having to study all the time.
I interviewed for a position last week and since now we're in a "global economy", they want their devs to rotate every week. so one week you work days, the next week you work nights so you can be on the phone to hold the hand of chinks who call you confused.

CS is being shitted up by people who want to do video games. I'm in college for CS right now and like in all my CS classes half the the people want to do video games.
Jonathan Russell
will be a freshie in uni next sem and can't decide between CS + math or EE + math double major
That's not new, most competent cs people wanted to do video games at some point.
Anthony Morgan
I have an awesome book that I would like to recommend to you, friend. It’s called ‘fooled by randomness’ by Nassim Taleb. It’s a great book, Nassim is an unexpectedly humorous guy, and he picks apart and analyzes the concepts of “luck”, and “streaks” that you speak of. I think you will enjoy reading it
>you've probably had plenty of shots but are too autistic to see them right in front of your face. This. I've missed so many opportunities because I'm such a sperg. Now I've ruined my life because of it.
if I were to go back to school I'd go for EE, Civil, or Environmental Engineering. a huge company where I live just built a brand new campus for the Environmental Engineers, meanwhile the CS code monkeys are all working out of the shitty dimly lit building built back in the 70s. companies are dumping a lot of money into Environmental Engineering. my friend who is a Civil Engineer just travels all over the world on various projects, they give him a $1500 truck allowance each month.
You have no idea man, I've met people that have finished data structures and have no idea how objects work and other basic shit. It's like they are in it only for video games and nothing else.
hey Jow Forums is there any place I could do data entry online for minimum wage? I really want to get out of doing manual labor because I'm introverted and its not really cut out for me. I have a WPM of about 130 and I hear thats really high compared to the average. Any suggestions?
