Do you regret you choose a coder career?

What about your coworkers? Are they autistic as most programmers? Do you even talk to each other?

You are still young, you can improve. Or just become a code monkey, still a better job than most.

no u, i use debian

In some ways yes. It hit me recently how meaningless any of the shit we do is. I wish I had creativity to make music or art, or be able to entertain people. 2019 is miserable and I want to make people happy, but I'm just a boring code monkey sucking on the tit of multi-billion dollar companies.

Entertainment is overrated, if you really want meaning go into medicine or physics. As a programmer I mean.

Why would I?

Who said I have a job?

They are really nice but they are not relatable, it's more a scientific company, they are a lot of woman, everyone is like 40+ with kids...

I'm 23 and haven't even started

It's more of a hobby for me since I heaven't profited from it yet.

Nah, I mean, sport is good for you, but what percentage people who play it in highschool and college actually make it into professional sport? Compared to people who make it into programming/IT jobs, not very many.

This, so much this. I just shit out stupid APIs at work. Not only this, but 9-5 wage life has made me really hate what US-style capitalism has become

i know this sounds like something a mom from facebook but....

its never late to start

Has any of these milfs flirted with you?

>feel unfit everywhere
i'm 24, took me 6 years to get a 4 year degree in CS, and here's what i learned: people like us who deviate from the mean at all, even slightly, will get shat on by those who find it easier to blend in with the crowd. at least in more competetive unis, if your peers smell weakness from you, they will fuck you over for a small grade advantage.

here's the trick: fuck trying to fit in and make friends, and treat every person you encounter IRL as an adversary. of course you should still be cordial and respectful, but always keep people IRL at arm's length and maintain detachment from them. this will make it MUCH easier to avoid feelings of not fitting in, because you wouldn't even be trying to fit in with them.

it may sound difficult, but that's basically what you will be doing in the workforce after graduating. most of your peers would still be in highschool-mode, and adopting the workplace politics mindset early will give you a head start in both doing well in school and impressing your coworkers in internships and job assignments.

we'll be sending you an invoice for the Jow Forums wisdom shortly

24 without any job experience here not gonna make it bros

I didn't choose it, it chose me

It's extremely competitive. I like that, since I'm high testosterone and have nothing better to do than grind code 12 hours a day at work and for personal projects. Being the top 5% is hard, but rewarding.

Kind of sucks that I have no friends that love this shit as much as I do. I can only talk about my accomplishments or what I'm learning to my wife who doesn't understand this shit but listens because she loves me

You are finally waking up.

This is exactly what comrade Stalman devoted his life to fighting against!

They got you bruh

That's fucking nuts

For now I don't. I want my career to first allow me to pursue shit in my free time, and be satisfying second. I used to think I would want to do some passion thing like art or play video games competitively but after trying to consistently play the same shit for 8-10 hours a day one summer I felt like there's just nothing that I'm ever going to enjoy doing that much time and the instability of a career I'm more interested in wasn't worth it. From a career perspective I get paid a ton and cs is fairly location agnostic so it gives me a lot of freedom. For my current job I work slightly under 40 hours a week and for the most part don't worry about work outside of work which are probably the two most common wagecuck traps in CS for jobs that are good on paper. I also have good healthcare which pays for my physical therapy so I can hopefully get back to doing one of my favorite things (weightlifting).

In terms of the 2nd point I think it has the potential but that is mostly a job specific thing. I don't really like CS for the most part (basically prefer anything out of science/math/engineering/art/writing to it) but I can enjoy it if I'm working on something interesting with a good workflow and interesting people. Currently I think what I'm working on is pretty interesting and my coworkers are not assholes which is decent, but I have to navigate a lot of red tape in terms of web connectivity, there's a lot of undocumented internal shit that makes me have to regularly stop and ask things and gets me out of the flow, and my current hardware setup is trash(a touchbar macbook pro and a single 27" monitor). Long term I'm pretty sure I can find a company where those problems don't exist so I'd say I don't regret it even if I don't like it that much.

This is the sign of a high IQ (not memeing).
I went to school for Trade because I couldn't get a job in tech, and this is exactly the approach I took.
I just can't relate to normies/trades people, they're so predictable. I basically did just that; kept them arms length, used them for grades/help, and whenever the few times we hung out I sit quietly and laughed with them. My hypothesis was right; being there with people and making small talk over a long period of time gets them to like you (yes, this is autistic).

I really learned how to deal with people you don't like, I'm glad it gets better

This is socioopath 101. Great if you want to get out on top, not so great if you dont want to be a fucking sociopath.

I regret dropping college after getting my A+ and instead went to a trade school for HVAC/ R. I first worked at a refrigeration company in SF and got fired because I worked at a high rise building on market and was requested to change a prefilter. I asked the building engineers if the water wa shut off and they said yes and so when the prefilter was removed hundreds of gallons of water eventually poured out with the monkeys trying to actually find the shut off valve for thirty minutes. Being a union and there was multiple of them they said they didn’t help me and that I was at fault. Now I work for ICEE and got a dollar raise after two years for a grand total of $21 an hour. The only benefit is paid drive time and decent insurance.

i'm starting an apprenticeship as a sparky next year. once i'm qualified and saved some more cash i'm going to finally move out of the city

No because I have a six digit salary.

start tying that noose

where did you hear about this from?

I practice because I am shit and I need to. I am bottom 20% buddy

What specialty should I choose for my bachelor's?
AI/ML
mobile apps
cloud computing
big data
systems

>21
>still in college
>see an ad, looking for java devs, no experience needed
>even though I passed my java class I can't comprehend a simple fucking array

>ok lol
>jira
>bit bucket
>agile something

That was fun 3 days.

If you wanna make money, apps or systems. If you wanna have a meme on your degree, try the others.

is your wife lain?

No one gives a fuck about your speciality, they only care if you have an engineering degree or computer science degree

Here's what you absolutely need to acquainted with
>Distributed Systems
>Networking
>Cryptography

If your degree doesn't include the following, stay in india
>Analysis of algorithms
>Data structures

Here's what's nice to have
>Statistics
>Technical writing

For databases, you have to keep in the loop. That shit is constantly evolving.

Well what about:

int mystery (int k) {
if (k == 1) return 0;
else return (1 + mystery(k/2));
}

?

What the fuck is that, a method that's a variable? Are you fucking retarded pal?

Are you a freshman who's never heard of recursion? Go the fuck back to your Apex Legends.

Is this a raid?

just keep applying and get better at interviewing

not really
im a brainlet (my wife is a better programmer than me honestly) but i enjoy the challenge
i dont know what else i'd enjoy doing more while still earning a decent wage

Yes a method. Figure out what it returns in the end when you put anything in it.

(Not that it just adds 1 up the entire time)

nah, it's just choosing your battles and being careful with who you open up to.

coworkers are not your friends, but you still have to treat them as such. entry-level guys get burned by this all the time, when they share some information with coworkers thats later used to pass them over for a promotion.

the more guarded you are when dealing with anyone in public that's not a close friend, the better it is for you.

Yes.
I was expecting a relaxed job working 9-5 m-f but instead I got a shitty job with a strict dress code and 9-7 m-sat
It's a fucking meme. If I could go back in time I'd kill myself but if that was not an option I'd learn a physical trade like welding or literally anything else but fucking IT
I plan to quit in after 12 months working there (9 left) and look for something better with the experience. We do some really nice public-facing web stuff that can pad my resume nicely at least.

Stfu, Comrade Stalin devoted his life to staying in power by slaughtering innocent people. There is no more evil individual in the entirety of history, just kys and go ask him,

Stallman not Stalin you fucking retard

No. Nowhere else can I make this much money with 0 work experience. After changing offices and teams (family issus made me move back to parents) my commute increased to 3 hours daily, but my team is mostly great and I dont pay rent.

I make lots of money and unless tech and the economy permanently blows up, Im a guaranteed multi millionaire. Its great for my anxiety.

Must suck to be so paranoid. I'm friends with my coworkers but you just have to guard what you share when it gets career related

That depends a lot on your workplace, and most people won't find themselves in that kind of environment.

Yes, I regret every single day.

I second this but in my case is even worse because I live in a shithole country and earn a very low wage.

>brainlet
>decent wage
Elaborate

there's not much to tell
i make 60k, she makes 70k+bonus
im not a code monkey but im still far from the smartest on my team
it's more than enough to raise our son on

imagine being this loser thinking his coworkers are his friends.

Hahahah wtf

The grass is greener on the other side. Not all companies operate like that.
