I feel like this is the new wave of people in programing. The point of Github projects is not about getting hired. The value of posting projects publicly like that is different. Yeah, sure, some companies can be interested in checking it out, as if it is your portfolio. But that's a collateral effect. They interested in it not because that's where you ask them to hire you but because of its original value.

To be completely honest I had no clue it was going to be an office job 💀 I majored in computer engineering and was hoping to work with more hardware and expected a lab and not a cubicle haha. I should've saw it coming though

If you study software engineering instead of computer science, you will be actually taught it. I love my major.

any good python projects?

I was a software engineer for 10 years. There are good jobs in tech, and there are bad ones. There are A LOT of both. I do think software engineering is unique compared to a lot of office jobs in that it involves a lot of technical problem solving and research. If you enjoy problem solving every day and doing research on the job (even when the task at hand is nearly a death march), then you won't mind the job that much. Personally, it's not my cup of tea. Also, whether or not your management is bad is independent of whether you work in an office or remotely. The quality of the management determines how stressful the job is.

i was expecting a profitable yt channel after 3 months in a "day in the life" mode. 😭

I don't really agree with your last statement: what stops an HR filter to select first the applicants which have a relevant diploma in the computer space? you know like in medicine or economics from where you made your last argument. not giving everyone a chance that way? well do everyone get an equal chance now?

😂😂the job hunt analogy was soo funny

10x chessers

I hate the USA. Much love from Europe. 😂

Coding sucks. Now I do almost nothing.

It's good to remember how lucky I am instead of complaining things aren't better. I never even imagined having a remote job when I was in college.

What sucks is capitalism

You are one of those shill types, all the corporative bs is enjoyable, and you think us normal humans are maggots for no appreciate such dehumanizing.

for the first point, i do not care about how computers work but i care alot about what they are capable of. i fell in love with the idea to automate things, no need to know how computers work, at least not to the insane degree you learn it ina university to do that. I did go to university and learned it, but my day to day job and my private projects don't use 90% of the knowlege I gained there. programming is about many things. I also fell in love with working from home, it saves me a ton of time and enables certain things, that were otherwise impossible. For example having my cat in my kap while I work. It's little things like that, that keep me motivated too

Supply and demand will always be the bane of what people would like or even what would be rational.

It's like the difference between math and literature class. To get good grade in math, you need to be good at math and get the answers correct. With literature the teacher has to like you and his opinion has to align with yours. Software Development looks like math, maybe in private projects it is, but once you get into the workforce it's rather the latter, like the literature class where you have a bad day when people don't fancy you appearance, rhetoric or don't align with your opinions. And then they freak out. "All this hard skills I needed to learn and now we crap on that with social games and irrational hypes and opinions and who likes who". In short: Office is mainly "human factor".

this is what naval ravikant talked about in future there will be many smaller business and people will have their own business and interact with each other to create things. ( i have butchered what he said ) i thought about this for a while even dan koe talked about this its generalisations market ahead.

I think the issues ARE specific to software development. It is the combination of creative work and pushing us to fit into a rigid system that makes it really stressful. How do I know it? I became a penetration tester after 8 years of swdev, after the next 2 years I became a project manager. Software developers are exploited of their dreams, that's all. It is an awful perspective as most of good devs are dreamers.

Lol segfoult No body here is a soydev Including me

wait this real af

One of the most demanding jobs in the world is being a rifleman in a frontline infantry unit The selection process is extremely tight, and getting qualified for the role takes years of sacrifice, dedication and a healthy dose of good luck surviving training and yet .... you can rock up these days at the 2 way shooting range, with your only qualification being that you have served as a reddit moderator, and strongly believe in the cause .... they will happily give you a rifle and show you to your trench

Yeah but employers can make them suck. Specially if the offer is greater than the demand.

This channel is the next fireship.

Very accurate assessment. Love your no bullshit approach.

This is me.

The only jobs that can't be taken withought a degree is in law and medicine

Lmfao good video

who tf is catching seg faults at work lol, isn't like 99% of people just working on react or some other modern day bs?

The industry sucks - Agile was a mistake, and we need to talk about it, thing what we do - Non-techies sucks have should be filtered more, we should have techie good with people in leadership position - A degree should be required tho, it was the status quo and it WAS working, we also need to talk about it Also you're missing one point, the current state in North America is due to the Section 174 of the TCJA change that begun in 2022 > required to capitalize and amortize R&E expenditures > no longer immediately deduct these costs in the year incurred > Domestic R&E Expenses: Must be amortized over a 5-year period > Foreign R&E Expenses: Must be amortized over a 15-year period > Amortization begins at the midpoint of the taxable year in which the expenditures are paid or incurred That change made it complicated and more expensive to recruit us. Trump pushed for that change in 2017, factually speaking. There is another factor, the economical one. Many companies have a loan on their commercial real estate and they can't afford to default which explain - return to the office trend - hiring freeze - dependent on interest rates We have multiple bubbles in the same time, that specific one is about 1,2T$ in the USA. We can talk about those things without complaining. People in leadership position will never be hold accountable for their bad leadership, a corporation is just a neo-feudal structure, go back to work wagie!

I get mad at lazy managers that keep changing their mind on what tasks they want done. Thats the one thing I hate at work. Other than that I get work done.

Depends on the job, also you can't divorce the job market from the job either. Job security is the main concern lately, but in many places the pay is also not great, while the avg soft dev needs to spend a lot more to live near their job, unless they have a remote job.

might suck ass, might not depending who you ask. but it’s definitely impossible to get one

work from home?

All totally correct and fair. There isn't really any other industry where you can teach yourself a skill and get good enough to interview and land a job making salaries as high as they can go in the tech sector. Like you said you can't watch RUclips or read a few books that cost £30 on Amazon to be a nurse, doctor, engineer, teacher, therapist, etc. They all takes years of training so even with free education those professions are *still* very "expensive" in terms of time. This isn't just limited to programming but most jobs in the IT sector; system admins, network admins, devops, even senior level IT support jobs can pay a damn good salary in many companies if you find a way to become a niche subject matter expert for something they heavily rely on. But like you said it's still an office job and some it comes with all the same baggage and office politics. I think why "IT people" find this difficult is because so many "IT people" be it programmers or sysadmins or devops or network engineers they are all a bit weak/poor/atypical on the social aspects. Many lack the soft skills that make life much easier to navigate the modern office and so they quickly get frustrated and that further compounds the "geek tech person" stereotype who always complains and often belittles their users (or lusers as I have heard way too many times over the past 20 years from IT people). The truth is IT jobs are *easy*. We get to work in a nice, mostly comfy office (depends how good your AC/heating is in the summer/winter), sitting at a usually decent desk with a decent chair. You don't have to physically stress yourself walking around like if you worked in a store or warehouse or restaurant, etc. We have it on easy mode for most things. When our biggest complaints are "we have too many meetings" you gotta ask yourself how bad do we *really* have it? The answer is an uncomfortable "ehh not very hard really". And even if you don't earn the mid-six-figure FANG (or whatever the current acronym is) salary chances are you do still earn higher than the median for what is a pretty easy job over all. Sure we have stressful days but who the hell doesn't?! Too many people in the IT world are fragile little drama queens with poor social skills and are too damn entitled to realise how easy we have it. Damn I need to rant there didn't I 😂 Thanks for the video, I needed to get all that out lol.

Come in late, leave early, if anyone ask just say "MY STUFF is done".

Based.

Oh I can talk with people. Parts of my, eh, career, were spent literally threatening various managers and directors into obedience, and being beloved by the actual business folk, because I cared to actually make their work better. As a bridge between the IT (I stands for "I have Aspergers") and their internal customers I was great. But still I would be shit manager, because I ain't ordering people around, I rather bring that marxist mindest to the workplace and that's usually frowned upon xDDDD

I remember one project where the requirements were gathered in a Sharepoint spreadsheet. Which at the time had a limit of I belive 65k rows. One row per requirement. We ran out of rows. WE RAN OUT OF ROWS.

"At least we don't have to do a REAL job"

If any of you are suffering from perfectionism, and as a result feeling discouraged or frustrated when you don't have a good day, just remember: excellence is not an act, it's a habit. We are what we do repeatedly. So take a good night's rest and know that tomorrow you have another chance to make it.

Great advice. Definitely matches everything I learned both in college and in industry in a concise and understandable way. Even in totally internal tools or self-owned projects, I find writing out requirements is extremely helpful in making sure there is a focused design and helps you catch bigger issues earlier on

Your videos are honestly so damn valuable

This is pretty good

This video explains why lawyers are actually just programmers in suits.

Shall in Norwegian translates to "skal". When you say "skal" in Norwegian, then you mean business. There is no if's or but's about it. Then it's gonna happen come Hell or high water!

I call it the tender list. It's a small Lord of the Rings size contract with requirements.

Awesome, I will send this to my PMs.

I hope this isn't stock footage and bro just dressed a friend up to look like they're in the matrix solely for this lovely video
