i think tech is a bullshit job and your level of compensation and the impressiveness of your resume and cv is mostly down to luck and knowing people

i think absolutely no job in tech actually requires 8 hours of work per day 6 at most, often 4~5

I can’t remember the last time I wrote a line of code, aside from using vizzy in juno: new origins, also I followed a game maker tutorial recently but I used the visual blocks or whatever ten years ago I was hacking the Nintendo DS. what happened to me

To test my theory: go to any conference in tech and watch the people.

AtomD posted:confession: i think it's impossible to be productive for more than 4-5 hours a day average wrong. ive had multiple low impact manual labor jobs were you could maintain pretty consistent levels of output for 8+ hours a day easily. i probably could have done 12

i've been working as a software developer professionally for almost 20 years. i doubt I could even code fizzbuzz without googling first. i've been lucky in my career in that i've never had difficult interviews that involved actual coding, and never had to be forced to pair program where I'd be exposed as a fraud. i've recently been promoted to engineering manager.

After that I can shoot off emails or chat in the dev chat room but my real work day is done

it is indeed most jobs where there are like 3x wage differences for doing basically the same task, but that doesn't include most actually important jobs. i hosed up taking my academic position by not bothering to negotiate my wage very hard, thinking that with the tiny 10% span between wages i'd be able to make that up in negotiation after the first year. instead it turns out that the starting wage is basically the only thing i had any control over, now i get centrally determined raises and i am just that percentage down from others in my precise situation permanently. oh well v  v

When I was younger I forced PC-BSD on the family computer. I had no idea how CUPS worked (and still don't) so nobody could print anything.

ok, confession time when my boy was younger, he used to love minecraft, so I ran a minecraft server for him off one of my many linux boxen  so for whatever reason i had to reboot that machine and the kids were playin on it, and there was some guy making like just a ton of melons, idk why, every 5 seconds on the server console it was like "so and so created 10 melons" so i hollered down at my son that i was gonna play a joke on them and to just go along with the gag, and i said as the server "SON YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT ALL THESE MELONS! WE TALKED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. THATS IT, I'M GOING TO TAKE THE SERVER DOWN IF YOU CAN'T STOP WITH THE MELONS" and there was a silence and then the kid was like "im sorry about the melons sir, i didn't know' anyway then i rebooted the server and the boy eventually told them it was a joke so no harm done just some lighthearted minecraft shenannigans.
