you're the living embodiment of the npc meme, congratulations
Aiden Long
so kms?
i guess, but I could retire by the time im 35
Christian Baker
my friend start juicing, I'm not even joking, I also work as a software engineer for a bank, none stop bullshit and on top of that my retarded colleagues always ask me to fix their computers like i'm a fucking it technician. juice makes you feel alive and strong
Sebastian Peterson
Your squat is so fucking high relative to your deadlift
Jaxson Phillips
Nothing reading Watts or Hesse wouldn’t fix. Your ego is a farce - once you realize that, life starts to just be.
And yeah your routine sucks. Do a PPL or something fun for a while.
Blake Thomas
what are the names of these books?
Charles Rogers
yeah you could if everything stays as it is but cost of living is gonna skyrocket and wages are gonna plummet everywhere soon I feel.
Jacob Ramirez
wages for software jobs never do, thats the main perk of the job it obviously depends on the field your in but the wages usually stay consistent, the real risk is ending up without a job because the companies gone bust over night
Alexander Morales
soon there will be a lot of people clamouring for software jobs, don't forget the threat of outsourcing. Also if AI takes off and goes like some think then bad news, for everyone not just software nibbas.
Liam Kelly
currently studying AI at university and all that will happen is lower end jobs will lose out to AI, AI's need designed, developed, maintained, expanded on, a whole section of computer science is dedicated to the study of AI. Jobs in computer science and software bishes will grow but it will change normal programmers might loose out
Owen Flores
You should think about moving to another company if working there is no fun. 9h working is more than 1/3 of your day. Also, you should maybe start thinking about what you really want in life/what makes you happy. Lifting can benefit to your well-being but you can't build happiness just by lifting heavy things
Isaiah Martinez
>Nothing reading Watts or Hesse wouldn’t fix Keked out loud bigly
Nolan Powell
programming is life, it's not the programming that's the problem its the retards you have to work with and their bad code that ruins jobs and manager cunts wanting everything done straight away when it takes time my advice to OP would be to progress the corporate ladder and become a manager then he can make other programmers lives hell instead of it happening the other way around
Brody Sanders
C++? what is the nature of your work? I know of some industries that use C++ but majority use shitty languages like java or god forbid python
Jeremiah Sanders
Do DMT once and you will find the courage of do what you like to do and quit the job.
start one of scoobys home workout routine and STICK TO IT
theyre a little memey but dont require much equipment but arriving home drained from work its way easier to do that workout than preparing and leaving for the gym.
youll start feeling better and get more motivated to return to the gym. always keep it as a backup if you skip a workout, its way too easy to justify not going to the gym after work - just do 45mins at home
Logan Bailey
shit i just posted this and passed out... definitely talking to a different set of people now, but hey, it's talking to people...
yeah and I can't fix it, my squat is good and deadlift is weak. straps would probably help...
meh on the philosophy isn't PPL super high volume and body wrecking?
wages plummeting don't affect me if i'm retired, but i'm paid pretty well and have a pretty "stacked" resume
for where i'm currently at there aren't many companies that pay more :( can't figure out what makes me happy
lol, true, but i don't think i'd like being a manager
serving infrastructure at a bigco
i'm still going 4x/week to gym, just not doing any good programs... currently: Mon: 3x5 squat, 3x5 bench, 3x5 shoulder press Tue: 3x5 DL, 3x8 barbell Rows, 3xfail pullups Thur: see Mon Fri (or Sat): See Tue
Dominic Wright
Are you saving a lot of money then? Personally if I had a stacked resume and quite a bit of money in the bank I would try to transition into remote contract work and move somewhere with a much lower cost of living and just pursue whatever shit I wanted to do.
Samuel Jackson
I haven't done it yet, but I'm gonna do it soon, I just don't know how to buy it. As it isn't an "party drug" there isn't a lot of demando so I have no clue where I'm gonna get it but I have heard so many good things about it. Do some research in youtube.
yeah, i am saving a lot of money. much of it goes towards my wife's education though, medical school isn't cheap never really considered working remote, not sure it'd be for me, i always dreamed of starting my own company but hte opportunity cost of work vs. starting my own company is HUGE, and incredibly high risk...
Aaron Lopez
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Liam Harris
You say theres no companies paying more, but from the sounds of it money isnt really an issue for you. Maybe focus on working a job thats a slight pay cut that feels more gratifying and doesnt suck the life out of you so you can enjoy other things like lifting again.
I currently hate my software engineering job (I realize I have no enthusiasm for the project I've been put on), but am focusing on working hard for the next 5 months so it doesnt look like im just company hopping and then being interview ready right away. The hours arent terrible and pay isnt bad, so im just happy it gives me the freedom to live in a lively area near all my friends as well as pursue any interests
Charles Miller
i don't think i'd ever find a job rewarding, could be that i just don't think i'd find anything rewarding... so i just optimize for cash for now
you're living in a lively area and chilling with friends doing things you like, which i wish i could do. i'm not really close with anyone, don't really do things, and don't find joy in anything really (damn that was whiny)
Noah Collins
I still think its worth considering finding a working situation that doesnt feel so taxing on yourself. Its hard to feel ambition or excitement over anything if work just mentally beats the shit out of you 45 hours a week
Carter Turner
yeah, maybe so. it's hard though, cause i'm close to getting promoted... i consider working hard enough for promotion in ~6 months, then gtfo to another team internally... but the pessimist in me says it'll all be shitty anyways
Anthony Kelly
>can't motivate myself to work out Lift anyway. It doesn’t matter how you feel. Motivation is over-rated.
Brandon Smith
oh i do lift, just probably piss poor programming (posted it earlier) and plateau easily
Landon Reed
There's shit tons of programs passed around here. You probably don't pick one due to apathy / decision paralysis.
But picking a better program with better gains won't fix you, though you might feel better about yourself.
