- Seems like a trend nowadays just to cry about everything... All the time.
If you are crying about an office job, just go work in a coal mine for 2 weeks and you will be fine..

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.
So I guess you are more the kind of dev that likes to work on a feature for 6 months only for the project to be scrapped one month before you finish.
@@Stefan-qk8swhonestly, if a feature gets scrapped in 5 months, it didn't have any business getting planned at all
@@Stefan-qk8sw I like experienced devs leading the project instead of idiots with a generic MBA degree that have no idea what they're doing.
@@happy_bracket Some of us still remember the days of waterfall.
@@hackmedia7755 But what will you do with all the new game engines written in Rust?
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".
Very true. Depending on your job in IT as a whole (not just as a programmer) a very difficult part is not always managing software but managing people or social skills as well.
Well, to be honest thats the case for every office job and sometimes it can be the hardest part.
100%. This was the worst part for me
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.
this. I got friends who never worked anything other than a dev job, and they're often mad at stuff that's, like, the case everywhere else ("booh, the client isnt on my level expertise and I can't use the same words I did in college!").
I've had several jobs before and I can't complain, sitting in the comfort of my home or anywhere else I choose, doing 8 hours of work at most (sometimes less thanks to meetings), on a fixed schedule, with great pay and benefits
I'm sure there are absolutely shitty dev jobs out there that drive people mad and for good reasons, but it's not every dev job for sure
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.
Yes, you are totally on point. It is something different then working at coal mine - which in my country is not that bad, you can retire after 55, paychecks are actually bigger then SWE (subsidized by gov), and many other benefits. But coal mining is just a job, like the job I have around the house to clean my house, to mow the lawn etc. It is a physical labour, sometimes very tiring. But the mind is unaffected by it.
Couldn't agree more.
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?
react segfaults when used in an embedded vr environment, and most people work in this field, so...
Eh you still get out of bounds errors for arrays in GC languages

Coding sucks. Now I do almost nothing.
😂😂the job hunt analogy was soo funny
"At least we don't have to do a REAL job"
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.
Very accurate assessment. Love your no bullshit approach.
might suck ass, might not depending who you ask. but it’s definitely impossible to get one
The only jobs that can't be taken withought a degree is in law and medicine
What sucks is capitalism
Yeah but employers can make them suck. Specially if the offer is greater than the demand.
This channel is the next fireship.
wait this real af
work from home?
This is me.
Lmfao good video
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
Well pay and conditions suck, and there's an extremely high departure rate, so the number of applicants is far less than the number of open positions.
Huh? OSUT for us army infantry was 14 weeks for decades, not years of sacrifice lol. And the selection process was anything but tight, around 90% completed their class from start to finish.

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
Lol segfoult
No body here is a soydev
Including me
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?
i was expecting a profitable yt channel after 3 months in a "day in the life" mode. 😭
Supply and demand will always be the bane of what people would like or even what would be rational.
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.
What type of role did you take after switching careers?
