Mental health

Do you think programming and working long hours is fucking up your mental health?

too complicated
bottom line is that spending all of your time working means that you spend none of your time doing anything else you might find worthwhile, and that can have cascading repercussions in the long run.

I make sure not to work long hours

no i was probably fucked up before that but i cant remember

I think only people with questionable mental health start programming.

The hours and programming isn't the issue. It's dealing with the goddamn business owners and clients that's the problem.

What fucks up my mental health is not being able to find a programming job.

Yeah, but ritalin, tobacco, caffeine, and alcohol takes care of the worst of it.

its amazing how quickly the field became saturated

I don't even know what's worse, bugs in the code or clients.

If you never rest properly (shitposting on Jow Forums when you should be sleeping isn't rest) and don't actually do anything else besides programming, sure. Watching TV/YouTube doesn't count as "doing something", either. Exercising your body is proven to be good for your mental health, so that's one thing to do. Another is to take up a non-computer hobby that exercises your brain in a different way from writing code. If you are a weeb, a natural choice for you is drawing. If you don't want to draw, learn an instrument, build a model railroad (it's a hacker tradition, after all), etc.

Depends. I can enjoy working long hours if I'm 100% sure it's time well spent. I worked crazy hours a lot at a startup meme only to hear the next day that client demands changed completely

It's saturated with shitty programmers. There is a shortage of competent programmers. The trick is demonstrating that you're competent to interviewers who may themselves be incompetent and unable to judge.

i want to see the same progression but with lewds

Looking at these pictures, it's not too difficult to image what the artist's lewds looked like at each point.

It's fine as long as you smoke meth to keep yourself alert.

>smoke meth to keep yourself alert.
This. You don't want the shadow people getting the drop on you during your cat naps.

...

The shadow people don't bother me so much but the dead babies walking around in the shadows can be distracting

Straight out of uni I just did some 10 hour video course on some web framework and I'm literally swimming in offers. People who complain about not being able to get programming jobs are just lazy fucks.

based

Another fellow Jow Forumsdrugs user I take it?

Jow Forums only since 2006. same year I started smoking dope.

most of her videos make you me too guilty to jerk off to

Yes.

Rest is so underrated.

Absolutely. I've forgotten how to relax. High stress & deadlines causing a chronic state of sympathetic hyperarousal, resulted in a stress disorder, panic disorder, generalized anxiety, misophonia, phonophobia, hyperacusis, agoraphobia, a nonexistent social life, and depression from a destroyed life in general. Yes I have savings, but I'm otherwise completely fucked over and NO DOCTORS ANYWHERE CAN HELP. Qigong however does help tremendously. If it weren't for the depression, I might be able to help myself.

There is no shortage so we shouldn't be taking in any immigrants or visa workers and should be deporting those that are here.
Companies just don't want to train. I've had a coworker that has a master's degree but couldn't program when they first started and yet had the gall to try to look down on me because I don't have a degree. They never said anything to my face, just mumbled it or told other people when they thought I couldn't hear, a few of people he told didn't have a degree either.

Yes, this is why I only shitpost all day.

I'm thinking of taking the salary cut and going into webdev instead of programming. Is it just as stressful?

Absolutely.

Im in an internship in the IT office from my campus university, and it's pretty fuking boring, so imagine being the chief of a fuking boring but eztremly important projecr.

Not if I enjoy it.

Porn sure does.

The lack of sleep makes my memories go away
>couldn't be more happier

No, but living with a delusional, narcissistic, verbally abusive person sure as fuck is.

What's going on brother? It's your wife/gf, isn't it? Talk to me about it.

Define a healthy state of mind.

I've had people tell me to my face that the downsides of a programming job are all just lies spread by programmers themselves to ensure that a deficit of talent keeps their wages high.

No, working long hours in a field that you truly love and are good at is the only escape from this worthless shithole hell of the planet.

No, the 72dB fan noise does.

No, but it definitely changes it. Makes it more... structured?

fucking AMD

no but smoking pot is

Why

You sound lost.

>structured?
Ah. Like a computer?

I usually just take a jerk off break. Her vids are pretty good to jerk off to.

Why is her acting so much better than the average?
Tara is the semi decent actress the porn industry deserves

Yes

Damn I used to jerk off to this bish back when I was in high school. Anyways, yeah learning how to code fucks up my self esteem and I know it affecting other areas in my health.

Not if you take regular breaks

yes, actually

Computers/Media are. People have a hard time seeing other people as people as a result of being bombarded with memes and carefully managed profiles.

in fact i would say going into programming is pretty much the biggest mistake of my life

Webdev is probably more stressful because that's what the client sees so it needs to be perfect and bug free, unless you're just doing shitty wordpress 1+2=3 sites

yes
working as a programmer is the worst decision of my life
I need to do an MBA or something so I can escape this hell

Sure, partially because , partially because of the mental model and overflooding of senses.
It manifests by shitposting on peruvian amphibian boards, among other things.

I hate working long hours. My brain can't concentrate on programming for longer than 7 hours. I leave on time as often as possible.

I'm pretty convinced that there would be less guys in tech thinking that they are women who need surgery if they stepped away from the computer and hung out with people in real life more often.

I spent two years in programming and another three in IT project management. Never ever more. Now I'm working in completely different field, with about 50% less money, but man, I'm content.

Point is, that money are never worth it. Either do what you love or something which allows you enough personal time and space and not annoys/stress you.

Fuck, he last video was from 22 days ago. I want to know what happens next.

Tara is my mommy

She is probably mommy of half of a Jow Forums, fren.

It really isn't worth it. I just took a paycut to work an IT job. I make less but guess what no bullshit of working late every shift. No 11 or 12 hour days. No mandatory OT. Just work my 40 hrs and actually enjoy my days off instead of being virtually dead on what is supposed to be MY time off.

Brother?

Got an MS CS and an MBA. I'd stick with CS..

Man, I've watched too many of her videos but it does help lower the stress.

Yes. And i thought i could fix it with experimental Russian nootropics, adderall and copious amounts of alcohol and caffeine.

I want off the ride. I sold my soul to Intel and I wish i didn't.

This. It's not necessary unless you're a bozo.

Done properly, webdev is programming. Installing and slightly customizing WordPress plugins isn't webdev or a real career choice, it's waiting for your job to be automated.

>I need to do an MBA or something so I can escape this hell
Getting an MBA is a bad choice. Read this. It explains why.

The ones that do solo work are usually better actresses.

>the first 50 pages are literally just shitting on high education
This Jew is full of shit senpai.

>jewish owned higher education

...in a Jewish-owned book. A Jew will Jew other Jews, user.

I feel better since i started working than i've felt before.

>He's such a basedboy that sitting in an air conditioned room and typing is a traumatic experience.

?

No, it brings joy to my life. Doing nothing fucks me hardcore

This. (As long as you don't work crazy hours.)

Work is bad for you.

Working on things we don't like in order to survive is already, paradoxically, killing us.

Maybe he is talking about himself?

if you don't find your job worthwhile, why do you keep doing it?

Lol
My amd machine fans are super quiet
Dunno why this meme persists

>working long hours
LOL no I'm not a pleb

This bitch is fucking great.

Sad, but this.

better earning $140k at google or whatever than being a NEET or a homeless bum like terry davis, it could always be worrse

DURRHURR I SO FUNNAY DED BABBYS

Programming? No, as long as you like it. Working too much? Yeah, of course.

Programming keeps me sane. If I had nothing to do with my brain all fucking day I'd find another thing to keep it entertained with.
