what have you do did done?

this is what happens when people pursue a path in college that is 100% for money and not even 0.01% out of passion

ur the guy who was late to work 2 days in a row?

at one job, my worst ever office job, i was extremely obese at the time and literally FELL ASLEEP while the guy was training me in. i was frantic the next few days googling "is it bad to fall asleep first day on the job" trying to find anyone else in the history of earth who has ever done such a blunder, but couldn't find anything. I ended up getting fired a year later for making the girls in the office "uncomfortable" - kek.

>My alarm didn't go off bro

Let me guess, you fell for the CS degree meme like I did?

Here's some nuclear blackpills for those on biz thinking about or are pursuing a CS degree:
> Those you hear about making $300k+ a year on here are either larping or they have an unbridled 24/7 passion over coding aka it's the only thing they defines their life. They're CONSTANTLY relearning new languages, new frameworks and they already have seniority in their job positions.
> Programming is NOT a skill unless again, it's your unbridled passion aka you just breath code wherever you go. Coding is ever changing. When it all boils down to it, it's not really a skill at all since you constantly have to relearn shit to keep up with the times.
> Tech in general is always a shitshow during recessions. Hardly any work available except for the senior position privileged fuckers. Are you thinking about sneaking out of coding and into something like networking or cybersecurity? You can forget it. Especially during nasty recessions like what we're going through now, the only way you're breaking into those fields is if you have 5-10 years RELEVANT experience plus super special connections.
> WFH meme is slowly but surely dying out. Again, it's only for the privileged these days.

My sad fate was that I pursued a CS degree originally because I wanted to be a game designer, only to find out that requires super saiyan mega master level of coding skills, which I knew I could never achieve since code was already pissing me off in college. I instead had the mentality of "oh if I don't like coding, then that's ok I can always use my CS degree to go into something alternative, it's an in-demand degree after all!" That was circa 2011-2015 when I was college. Whoo boy, if only I knew the absolute shitshow that tech is nowadays. I only wish I had the gift of foresight to see the future apocalypse that's my dead in the ground career now. :(

sure lil bro, "fuck off were full" amirite?

>>55854080
I've been WFH for about 9 months. I just daydrink and sit in a lawnchair the entire time.

>Driving's not a skill bro because the roads are always changing.
Not to sound like an asshole but this is a clear sign you weren't meant for it if you don't recognize the underlying principles and you're just learning how to use whatever frameworks are currently popular.
But your post is accurate for most people considering CS, especially if games are their way into it.
If you have the aptitude for engineering and are willing to do whatever it takes to moneymaxx it's not a bad option, but it really is best for autists who breathe it.

>t. engineer that didn't even study CS.

>>55854080
I realized in the first few semesters that cs wasnt for me and dropped out of uni. One of the few things in life where I am certain I made the right choice. Nowadays I would unironically rather work for UPS than doing programming if both jobs would end up paying the same.

>>55854080
Turbo autistic senior position worker here. The first few years were rough, but it got a lot easier and now I'm overpaid to do very easy work. Most "innovation" in tech is just "we took thing people hated with xyz tooling and made it better".

Its pretty comfy and I'm paid giant autism box. Feels pretty good.

>>55853453
Sounds like a skill issue

>>55853453
How tf does that happen?

>>55853453
I'll give you $5,000 NOT

>>55853453
How retarded do you have to be to get fired in two days

>>55853747
kek. I also have a falling asleep story
>work for a small company
>talk with a coworker about cooking
>idea: why don't we cook together at work?
>he brings a hot plate and kitchenware
>we start cooking together in our break
>some other coworkers ask if they can join
>our lunch break slowly goes from 30 minutes to over an hour
>one day in the summer we cook spaghettis and meatballs
>they're really good and I eat too much
>have a meeting after the break and solidly fall asleep for 10 minutes

Tough break, maybe buy 25k Blackswan for lifetime use of the bot. The trading bot lets you make instant futures trades on all the major CEX. Then you can make degen plays like putting $500 on a BTC long with the ETF news happening that is coming up. And other smart plays that are a pretty good bet.

I got fired from my job in four days. Just keep on trucking, OP. Don't put it in your resume. You'll be fine. Sometimes the job we got doesn't go with our strengths or the culture is not good for us. Consider getting fired a blessing.

>>55854080
>muh coding
This is why you’re fucked. You think of software development as just “writing code” when in reality it’s designing, problem solving, and so much more.

Anyone who uses the word “coding” as a job title or function is an absolute retard and has zero industry experience.

>>55854212
do you play on a banjo while sitting on said lawnchair?

>>55854080
Sheeeeeeeet

>>55853717
no it's not. Man I wish I pursed a path for money instead of passion, I'd probably be retired by now.

>>55853453
I can only imagine what you had to do to be fired within two days.

>>55854226
what counts as underlying principles? like learning the patterns and when to use them? all I worked with in my job was factory method patterns, for example. I hate spring so fucking much though, I figured I'd try fullstack shit, it all seems interchangeable

SQL or NoSQL database
bullshit ORM like TypeORM or Mongoose
node bullshit for routing
front end bullshit

Spring makes it all seem like one big clusterfuck with shittons of confusing names like JPA and using annotations for everything no matter where you are in the stack, spring mvc was also a bit difficult to learn.

I really hate programming because it barely makes any more sense than when I started and there's nothing I can do to get better at it. I learned chess by watching how others solved tactics puzzles and applying that same shit, but in programming every problem is different and I just get stuck until I look up the solution. It's really frustrating

>>55854080
Yeh I got fired after 3 years of not finishing a single ticket on my own. I'm surprised I lasted so long to be honest.

>>55854080
>My sad fate was that I pursued a CS degree originally because I wanted to be a game designer

lol, so you were THAT kid. you know being a 'game designer' is more like... you know... designing things. has little to do with coding. especially in the age of things like unreal engine

lmao
just get another one

>have no problems getting a job

my immediate thought as well. that’s how much time I spend here.

>>55858772
Spring is for utter boomers

I'm intentionally fucking with my employers right now because they made the mistake of telling me how hard my job was to fill.
It's only my 3rd week and I'm already doing stuff like calling out sick and just leaving 30 minutes early.

>>55853453
life is tougher if you're a fucking mouthbreather retard

>>55853453
>spend months trying to get fired
>get a job after 2 days

>>55853453
Same. I forgot to hand a customer one of his bags and just ended up putting the item back and the next day he came pissed sp I spazzed out and literally walked outside and ran.

>>55859655
bruh

>>55859414
yeh I know, lots of enterprises work with it still

>>55859696
O don't know what to do. This is my 4th time in life doing this wver since I turned 16. Im 24 now. I still live at home with my folks and if they find out I might get booted. I ha e just spent the last two weeks getting high and gooning whilst being depressed. I haven't looked for a job yet and today I was so high I accidentally dropped my license down a street drain and I'm just in a sorry state. I'm going to McDonald's.

>>55853453
>quit my job on the spot because I got sick of working around smelly fucks
>apply for and get offered a new job the next day

I just want to be a neet
