You came here apparently completely out of the blue to let us all know you're just Feeling So Attacked Right Now because at some unspecified point in the past someone said something critical about polo shirts with backpack strap wrinkles as a lifestyle choice. Wow, ouch, this stings irl. Bhaal posted:As someone who's been writing software professionally for ~14 years I can confirm a majority of it is janitorial type work of connecting Tab A into Slot B like it tells you to in the manual. It might seem fancy and cerebral to an outsider who isn't familiar with the tools and concepts and so on, but we have to engage our brains a similar amount of time to any other profession. Once you're no longer entry level, most of what you do is solve problems you've experienced before, it's just that can manifest in a million different variations. Yeah this sounds about right. A lot of things could theoretically be done by automation, but software lends itself to licensing middleware for a huge amount of the non-unique work, and it's putting together different things with similar pieces, with all that says for career field longevity. Tiny Brontosaurus posted:STEM grads have a nasty habit of screeching about how anyone who didn't get a STEM degree has a low IQ and deserves any labor abuse that happens to them because survival of the fittest. If you can't see why it's relevant to point out to people who do that sort of thing that they aren't immune to misfortune I bet there's a lot of points you miss. Yeah, this is an annoying thing and why I never actually identify with my degree in a positive sense, because screw the people who try to use it to get off on other people's suffering. xthetenth fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Nov 3, 2016 |

True STEMness comes from within. It doesn't require any fancy degrees, or even any real interest in science. Watching animes is preferred though

Chard posted:Can someone help me out with understanding the impacts of CA Prop 61? If it passes it would cap state agency payments for drugs to what the VA has negotiated with the industry. That sounds nice but I'm concerned companies will just jack up prices on other drugs, or flat-out refuse to meet those conditions, so it ends up restricting patient access. Both sides seem to have supporters that I agree with on other issues. I'm leaning towards No right now over those concerns, what do other CA goons think? I voted for the one that had less drug companies money for it so yes

For what it's worth, I'm not white. I don't know you or your struggles, but I will say that I am acutely aware of discrimination. My earlier post may have been very snarky, but I do sincerely wish that we as liberals could stop tearing each other apart just because we supported a candidate that was only 80% of what we wanted instead of 85%. I wish we could stop being assholes to workers who have a passion for a particular field of study and now want to work in that field to support our families and live comfortably.

Two words on NH: white people. NH's deal is educated suburbanish white people, and it looks like they have mysteriously forgotten all the heinous poo poo about Trump in the last fortnight and have talked themselves into supporting him over not voting/Johnsoning. If this happens in VA and CO too, that might be a worry.

Honestly as a software engineer I'm constantly stressed. I feel like the industry is evolving faster than I can and I year by year get less qualified for new jobs, with little time to train and learn the things I need to know. And my heart isn't in it. I wish I had a degree in history or literature. But I don't have the time or money for that. I'm well off and have many advantages, but I have real trouble giving up any family time.
