I've been a software developer for the better part of 20 years and I'm so fed up with this whole situation. Time for a new career.
My CV looks something like:
Chickens might shit everywhere, scream constantly, and flap their wings just to get attention, much like managers. But they can't make you polish that shit into a product to sell. And if one gets out of line you can just eat them.
And if one gets out of line you can just eat them
Same with managers. It's frowned upon, but don't let that stop you
One might argue that not eating them when they get out of line is what's causing all the problems
But they can't make you polish that shit into a product to sell
You're probably aware, but the product (eggs) comes from the same place as the shit. At least for chickens anyway, never seen the anatomy of a manager, but I hear they're invertebrates so it may be slightly different.
I thought a lot about getting out of tech about eight years ago. I landed on becoming a history professor as the role that would be most fulfilling. I hated school and I would hate getting accredited, but I believe I'd be able to impart the joy of history to a handful of students. Too bad I hated school. I'm still in tech.
If I could swap to chickens, that'd be interesting. Buckawk.
It's the opposite: your table scraps are their chickeny gold 🥹
Same. I'm hoping for the teacher shortage to increase, I might make the switch if the barriers come down. I'd love to teach children to code, I have fond memories of my IT teacher back in the day. His lessons on TurboPascal taught me a lot.
Ah, good old Turbo Pascal
"I resign".
rent ain't gonna pay itself lol.
But I'm working towards it
Yeah. I hate that the choice is between being miserable or being able to pay the bills. FML
Imagine being born 10,000 years ago where all your work for sustenance would fit in 4 hours weekly...
The fuck is this hog wash?
That mammoth, sabre tooth or slow human from another tribe isnt going down without a fight.
No one, 10000 years ago, was only "working" 4 hours a day. This is garbage.
For most humans the fight for survival it was constant and grueling and frequently unsuccessful.. Shelter was hardly a thing. You most likely died by your 30s. Etc.
It was in between the two extremes. It was like four hours a day on average of active hunting/gathering for some members of a group, others spent like 4 hours a day cooking/making clothes/building shelter. They had extended periods where they were sheltered from the weather, celebrating holidays, etc.
Hell, most animals only spend a limited number of hours per day actively surviving and have a significant amount of time resting or sheltering from weather.
And life expectancy was skewed by infant deaths. Sure, injury and death weren't uncommon in their 30s but that is when humans are at their peak physical condition and most people who survived childhood made it to their 50s even if they had some lifelong injuries.
Yeah sounds awesome
Ehhh… If you don't get killed catching your meal or die from the wound sustained in doing so, sure. I'll take the medicine future, thanks.
And you'll be needing that medicine to be able to cope.
Come and work with public goods too. Retroactive and deep funding are a thing too
I'm not opposed to be honest. Know any projects looking for Go devs?
"Why dont you just have AI do that?"
