I want to be the best tho

I know. What I don't get is why many of them are still relatively unsuccessful financially. I know they are on average more successful obviously, but I still wonder why not almost all of them are totally crashing it. If I could learn as fast as I have witnessed some doing it, I would be like Elon Musk desu.

small enough niche = you are the best

You'd be surprised how little difference this makes in the end. You are gonna make it brah.

Elon is not one of those math guys. He used his parents African mine money to push gain the attention of an actually talented guy named Greg to start x.com (PayPal). He didn't code or anything, he just had the money from his parents slaving negros in Africa and got connected to a guy with business brains to hire other people to do the job.

>The company was initially funded by Musk and his business mentor Greg Kouri, who went on to fund Musk's later startups Tesla and SpaceX.

That's why he thinks he invented the subway even tho it costed him 10 times more to dig thta shit.

chances are, if you put even an ounce of thought into being unsuccessful, you're going to head toward that path
push yourself toward better thoughts and positivity if you can. please.

>thinking egoism in academia is in any way correlated to the pragmatic applications of the real world
don't worry. everyone's a retard when you start working. especially your boss.

There's a lot more to getting rich than being smart and good at math. People skill are a necessity, you need richer and more powerful people to like you to really get ahead. IMO, anyone who wants to actually do something in life, should work a "real" sales job at some point in their lives. Completely changes how you view life.

wot about zip2

>twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1005596879848030209?lang=en

Other people that knew what they were doing made it work.

>In 1999, Global Link received US$3 million in investments from Mohr Davidow Ventures and officially changed its name to Zip2. Davidow Ventures changed the fundamental strategy of Zip2 from localised direct to business sales to instead selling national back end software packages to newspapers to build their own directories.

You know you can literally become smarter right?
Train your brain, make more neuron ligations or some bullshit like that i dont really know what is the right term in english.

The word you're looking for is synapse.

>tfw cant find anything to specialize in

What if genetic genius also decides to become smarter?

Everyone at my company is smarter than me and it makes me want to die. They figure out every problem in seconds.

>guy that got recruited along with me to junior dev job does his work in 70% of time required
>I struggle and hit like 120%
>cant find my way around in massive structures, mind goes blank after 3 hours of sustained concentration
>have trouble understanding things and need them laid out clearly
I think the only good thing I'm good at is building internal models from things I know well. I am incapable of making assumptions and "just doing stuff"
Maybe I'm a brainlet, but then I read some books about certain topic and I understand it all with no trouble. Probably just a brainlet coping desu.
Once I figure it out I'm pretty fast though and can match other guys.
What's my malfunction?

Not particularly
To give an idea, I will spend two days debugging a process but after that every bugfix in that area will take me 2 hours. But that just doesn't cut it when you're given new things everyday.

Would you say that you're anxious? And how often including outside of work?

I've only ever met people who are either brain dead or equally competent as me. The contrast worries me desu

Not anxious. Just sort of bewildered. I guess I'm only good at recognizing patterns I already know. But then again, who isn't?

so they can wank over solving pointless math problems with code

can you build a passion project that has an actual use?

AHHH my sides, fuck you

Smart people.. see IQ tests

I'm your manager and I left school at 16

sounds like you're autistic
despite the genius autism meme, autists have lower fluid IQ than normies
That's why you can't solve novel problems and make assumptions but you're good at doing things that are familiar and routine.

whats the difference between normal IQ and "fluid IQ", except needing to dilate

>tfw to smart to code

You're probably right in a way, but solving novel problems isn't difficult for me if I have all the knowns, or rather if it's some sort of algorithm question. I'm actually much better at thinking up structures than reverse engineering them.
Maybe that's my problem, I'm doing bugfixes most of the time and sewing together large black boxes that I don't understand. And that's my weakness

>tfw don't have the technical skill or the social skill
What the fuck? Why the hell is this allowed? What kind of asshole god would make a person both stupid and unsociable while giving them just enough intelligence to realize these things?

Fucking redpilled

If it makes you feel any better I’m 33 and just started learning 2 years ago. Sometimes I think I’m okay, then I get to a ‘hard’ problem and realize I’m just a dumbass

Mr Manager

We have a 55 year old boomer in my distributed systems class who always interrupts the teacher to ask redundant questions. I don't know who is going to hire her because she looks like someones grandma.

I’ve had some boomers in class and they all seem to have some kind of technical background, but they were mostly slow and it makes me wonder how they survived this long.

I don't know if she has any technical background. Even in the basic computer architecture class she couldn't into ones complement and twos complement so it makes me wonder how she got this far.

hue hue 27 about to graduate in 2 months. the last 10 years was an absolute disaster in every which way.
the only good thing that has happened to me is that I stopped giving a fuck. I unironically didnt talk a single word my senior year in high school, since my parents made me change schools.
I am still a brainlet, but i try not to self sabotage myself anymore, and have find new energy in learning stuff.

in the paleolithic age, you didn't need to be smart, you just needed a strong and firm handshake
these retarded dinosaurs also end up being teachers and that's why most kids end up like OP

Are boomers brainlets?

>ones complement and twos complement
After a cursory search, way over my head. I know unsigned is only positive, that’s about it.

Thats fine but it probably isn't user it really isn't too difficult, but we spent several lectures explaining it and had plenty of lecture notes online to go over it.

If you were truly brilliant you would already be famous

I don’t mind helping, but I hope they learn some humility.

there was one dude in my intro programming course who failed it twice and ended up dropping out. There was also a nig in that class who chimped out and yelled at the little indian TA then stormed out.

I see a few of those for sure. This first exam and project will weed them out quickly.
I also see several of the cocky naruto fags and the Hafu whores who will get to upper electives then switch majors

>cocky naruto fags and the Hafu whores who will get to upper electives then switch majors
This, some people can't into the actual meat and potatoes. This one girl cried during an exam and had to be escorted out by the professor.

The nigs in my classes have always the worst.

this is basic, unsigned uses all the bits for number representation in binary, while in signed the most significant bit is a sign bit. so in a word the bit 31 signifies whether the number is neg(1) or positive(0). we only use numbers from the 30th bit to the 0th bit for number representation.
in 2^31(0 to 30)the most you can represent is 2,147,483,648
in 2^32(0 to 31) the most you can represent is 4,294,967,296.
by making the last bit the sign bit, you effectively half the number you can represent using the same amount of bits.
this principle is the same if it is one byte or in this case 4 bytes(word)

>Hafu whores
pics?

We don't have many. Some have legitimately been smart and i respect them but some are totally retarded. They're too busy talking about jordans, getting high after class, and other shit. One never showed up to our networks class and got mad when the professor chewed her out for blowing off class constantly and refusing to giver her an extension on a project. Another ripped ass and constantly smelled like shit. Although there was this one white dude who always smelled like BO and rancid butthole, he always carried a dijouridoo and mountain dew with him, and when he would turn his assignments in they would be covered in like dorito powder and smelled bad. Our classes are mostly white guys, asian guys, indian men/women, and middle eastern men/women.

the fuck is a hafu?

Or, in simpler terms
>DUDE ADDITION LMAO

I don't know what the fuck a hafu whore is but this was like a femcel autist. Not the type of girl you want to go for user.

Unfortunately in the real world it's all about connections and the will to get them. If I recall there was that study showing the distribution of wealth to IQ, and most high class people only had about average IQ. If you're doing math all day I think you won't care about driving flashy cars and shit.

>source: dude trust me

Half white/half Asian.
They dress like trash and act like a girl playing video games is a personality trait.
Also they fuck any white guy that gives them attention or improves their social status

>act like a girl playing video games is a personality trait.
Ok well they aren't asian but there are a few girls here like that.

Being upper class is only about investment and ROI. Even if you earn 2 million dollars per year, if you spend it all you will always be middle class at best.

oh yeah, i have seen some of those, one pretended to be close to me to get my help. i help anyone who asks for it. mainly it is a good way to practice myself explaining stuff to other people. I genuinly enjoy learning, all the social games normies do for whatecer reason dont bother me. that being said i ignore them nowdays due to me not having enough time. video games are for children/retirees. shit got pozzed by normans a while back.

Well to be fair, the whores moved on to DnD about a year ago

Yeah, I'm no software engineer, and some 20 year old chinese kid will make my salary because he's a genius, but this is a lucrative and limitless field where you can learn new shit in your lunch break with YouTube and use it to do a better job almost instantly.

As someone from a non tech background, I implore all of you to really brace and appreciate what you have and are capable of.

Better than that word salad you posted while trying to show off

>I implore all of you to really brace and appreciate what you have and are capable of.
Are you saying we aren't as brainlet as we think we are?

Not everyone can learn

This, I'm defective.

>make
you chose this path in life user. Playing vidya instead of programming, telling yourself you cant do x because of y. You pay the consequences, now do you fight to win the game or do you give up here? You decide!

My curriculum is geared towards software development. I have little faith in what I can achieve. I couldn’t even figure out

in sum: there's more than one way to represent negative and positive integers.

>you chose this
N
I majored in cs. Im not qualified to do anything. And modern tech world seems so awful yet i have no other idea of what to do

So do people just hit the random button on leetcode all day or what

This is why being a little bit clever is worse than just being an actual brainlet. If you learn things when you're supposed to learn them, you have the learning experience that was designed for you, it works properly, and you soak in the info like a sponge and live happily ever after. If you pick up on things early, you can ride on the coattails of your own superior intelligence for awhile, forget how it feels to work hard, and when the school system finally catches up to you, it knocks you on your ass, because you're suddenly expected to actually learn things again and you've forgotten how. And that's how being too bright too early can turn you into a drooling retard later down the road. I for one have been trying to stand back up from the blow for years now and am still a fucking idiot.

I give up, I'm pretty sure all my potential is spent and I no longer have the capacity to improve. I just wish state-sponsored suicide was a thing.
I fear I might be too stupid to even kill myself properly.

I'm in the same boat as him and I definitely have worked hard. I'm 26 now but still going nowhere because I'm a fucking moron

>Assuming free will
Assuming free will and that for one to exert a certain "amount of will" is as easy for another to exert a similar "amount of will", it is impossible to deny that there is an intellectual difference between two people biologically. If person A is less intelligent than person B, then person B will do better in school while contributing less time. This time can then be allocated to social outings. Less intelligent people then need to make a choice, being social or doing well in school.

The world judges people based on where they are, not where they came from. Even to consider myself a great man because of putting my heart and soul into getting better, the world wouldn't give a fuck
> Often fail.
> Nothing is more tiring than trying indefinitely to only reach normal standards.
I have tried to develop my social skills for four years and I'm still noticeably awkward. The embarrassment of failure in a social situation doesn't hurt anymore, it's just a reminder of how I've almost made little improvement over a long period of time in such an important stage of life. It's tiring user. Seeing others just waltz into life and understanding that they will succeed without trying while I struggle takes its toll, man.

You've certainly done more that most anons ever have, and that makes you miles more successful than they ever will be.
Try to be positive, i know it can hurt seeing how effortless it is for other people, but don't diminish your progress, I'd wager you've made more progress than you're giving yourself credit for because you're still unsure of yourself (protip: confidence is the main ingredient in social skills).

Have you tried reading books on the topic and taking acting classes?

with that attitude user you'll be doing the hangmans dance long before you graduate :^)
