Why even live brehs? I work in a government job where I get to wear a suit and work in central London. But I feel pathetic because i am redpilled enough to know I am a worthless wagecuck doing a brain-dead job.

I guess my solace is that I'm not a stupid person, it's just that to get anywhere you need to penetrate the slimy bullshit surrounding everything. I'm probably going to fail an interview I had for an engineering job recently because I don't answer competency questions like a normie. So the solace is that I see everyone as a fraud anyway.

I'm a complete social failure in the office. I'm the ugly loser beta that nobody talks to.

Although I arrive late, take long lunches, and leave early so at least I am not completely cucked.

you can't compete with autistic savants on a technical level. best thing to do is work on people skills and get them to work for you.

It's funny what will power does to you, though. I kind of thought that and part of me still does.

I designed and created an app on the Google Play store using some of the programming fundamentals and concepts I taught myself/knew from school. It got like 50 downloads the first day. Second day, got about 100. By the end of 2wks, I had about 8000 DLs. People were submitting bugs and recommending fixes to me. I updated the app when I had time and I'm going to be developing a new one soon. I actually had two app companies offer me a job, but I declined since I wanted to finish my MS first.

What I'm saying is this: Sometimes, you don't need to be a genius or an ultra-level tech nerd savant.

If you can find that thing, anything, that can help people even a little bit and people are willing to use it, you'll be fine. It's surprising what a little simplicity and functionality does. In today's world where every app is almost overly complex, dedicated to 'CHANGING' or 'REVOLUTIONIZING' the world, if your end goal is to literally make people's lives easier, people are willing to use it and pay for it, even.

For this new app I'm developing, I'll be having free features + paid features, which will have a 1-time payment of $1, maybe $2 if I'm feeling frisky. People will be willing to pay for a product that saves them time and makes their lives easier.

Nice work anon.
How did you get people aware/interested in the app? Seems like one of the biggest hurdles

Well you may never be rich, try IT though, cyber security seems like a legit meme and you don't need to be a phd or genius, once you pay your loans off and shit, start a cyber sec business and then become the UK's best you might end up with millions. At least you'll get a job fairly easily.

>you weren't programming from the age of 9
This is a dumb meme. Once you pick up programming you get to 80% of your potential very quickly. A smart person who picked up programming at 20 will completely shit on an average person who picked it up at 5.
