Is (or can it be like that) software engineering really like this silicon valley chink depcits?
Or is this just some elaborate trickery to lure me into a hellish career full of emotionless, autistic coworkers and no fun allowed?

what do you mean, probably, what do you find appealing about it? if you take away all the office frills it's not anything special.

with a bit of luck OP, it wont be as bad as that.

When you browse here or talk to certain people you get the impression that SE is a boring, dull officejob where you stare at a screen 8 hours a day to optimize some process, being a small clog in a giant company, with retarded customers, soulless drones as coworkers and heading straight into depression. Sometimes I wonder how much of that is a meme and how much of it is true and whether I should quit now to become a nurse, firefighter, policeman or something that has meaning.
Then again, I like problem solving and a comfy job that pays well.

Jobs are very different, companies are very different. Most people don't work for Google, but might work in the IT department of some bank or something. Or you might write some scientific applications or whatever, the experience will be very different.

Lol at OP who thinks this sounds fun.
Meanwhile, I get paid six figures at boring corp. Here's how my day is going.
>Wake up at 9:55 to get on a client meeting

>Grunt some shit I don't even remember, everyone agrees
>Go back to bed for an hour

>Email boss, he agrees

>Probably going to stop work in a few hours to hit the gym
Being a software engineer is fucking comfy
Brody Gray
They'll detect that you don't do shit eventually.
Carter Ward
Been working there for 5 years with 10-15% raise each year. Most software engineers get ZERO productive hours in. You are probably one of them. I'll get three in today.
Jordan Kelly
No my dude. My company has five employees total. Its pretty obvious when I don't work.
In fact over the last six weeks I've written over 8000 loc
(some of them are copied files, some are compiled css and the less)
Juan Young
come on you are full of shit
Jack Evans
>Using pajeet metrics to measure productivity
Carson Martinez
The fact that you measure you productivity in LOC tells me you aren't an actual software engineer. This ain't one of PL comps where you bounce around in your springy suits Brian. This is an engineering discipline where terseness is valued. Some days I don't code at all. Some days all I do is delete code.

It's different at small companies, which you can choose to work for. Go small enough, and you'll have to be a jack of all trades, from programming and system administration to web design and copywriting. When you screw up, unlike at BigCo, you won't have anyone to blame but yourself.
Hudson Hall
Every company is different.
It's like any other job.
Some people have the balls (or the talent) to leave those places they hate. Other people stay in the same company they hate so much for the rest of their life.
Ryder Phillips
I really wish they would stop calling things that aren't engineering "engineering".
Bentley Gray
why is she so perfect bros
Gavin Cruz
I should make one of these videos
But from the Jow Forumsentleman's side of life
10 minute commute
Make a nice tea
Actually getting work done between 9 and 12 instead of lame standup meetings
Go home for lunch to my loving waifu who prepared salmon, because it's sal-monday!
Stop for a 1200 calorie maple bacon milkshake because they're $1.99 on special at the QT
I've earned it through disciplined calorie restriction diet
21.5 BMI masterrace
Return to work for five more hours of coding with no meetings
Head out at 6pm on the dot
Get home and have a light meal with waifu
power up my personal laptop
Shitpost on Jow Forums for an hour or two till bored
Work on a personal project, which is AGPLv3, of course
Colton Wood
nice roleplay

Fucking chinks just love some San Fransisco
Nevermind the homeless, needles, and literal piles of shit everywhere,
Oh, yeah, expensive as fuck: If those people worked from home, they could probably double their income based on the cost of the office space.
I can't believe people give VC to shit companies like that one.
>but but muh talent
yeah no.

Atleast she is using one of the best keyboards ever made.
Ryan Wood
she probably does menial code or some useless shit, all while drinking lot of onions with hipsters
James Robinson
Trust anime girl, not chink.
Jaxson Hall
That hits almost too close to home. At a company not quite big but not quite small, managing AWS servers the VP of Eng. doesn't even know about, being the only person keeping the public facing site afloat from a frontend prospective, just fucking up a little bit in that webpack.config.js because marketing pressures you to get it out now, and you fix it in the end. Everyone understands, there's general forgiveness, but still, you know your own shame. It looms, it lingers, it persists. There are not enough drugs to forget that commit. To forget you depended on a code review that was only a formality not an actual review. So you keep drinking. Trying not to fall into the same mania that had you shitposting in Slack at 2:00am, hurrying to delete your posts as you wake the next morning. I would trade this for the cavalier attitude of software dev in hardware engineering testing at Fruit Co. any day. But you know, some French phrase and all that. Still the only trade I can do, and if you're here, the only one you can do. Stay cool dudes. It's hard to, but really, if you can't stay with your folks, what else are you going to do?
John Lee
Her work day is a joke.
> Get's in at 10:30 a.m.
> Codes for a little bit.
> Attends meeting
> Eats lunch (an hourlong, especially if it's in the middle of the office)
> Codes a little bit.
> Takes stroll to coffee show and nearby stores
> Codes a little bit more.
> Out the door by 5:30 p.m.

Benjamin Russell
how am I supposed to know
Carter King
>01:40
She's a qt
Ian Nelson
she's probably a "senior social media engineer" meaning she probably retweets generic motivational quotes on twitter and spends the rest of her time browsing facebook
Matthew Murphy
Because she was payed to do a marketing stunt ?
Isaac Gomez
I got curious and sped through a couple of videos. She majored in CS and now works as an actual mobile dev.
youtube.com
No, that's not it. She is building a personal brand in the "learn to code" niche. Her channel's target audience is wannabe software devs. She has her own Slack, a "business inquiries" email (which on YT normally means paid product promotions) and everything.

why do women need to wear makeup to work? like seriously
Elijah Allen
Because most women look fuck ugly without makeup. Thats why. How is this even a question?
