working from home. and motherfuckers trying to take it away.
Why the state of the industry is shit, in a nutshell.
Working to be able to support yourself and family is not a bad thing. Most people would leave their job if they stopped getting paid.
And I graduated into the era of AI to not make any anyways :V
AI isn’t taking junior dev jobs. There are just too many people for the jobs available.
Ask a finance pro why they went into finance. If you don’t get the same answer, they are lying.
Anyway, I fell involve with computers and programing at 13 years old, and nothing else appealed to me, so guess what I became?
Involve
The cost of using a phone. “In love” is what I wrote and the keyboard decided I meant involve. Just to write this, I had to correct the corrections twice.
I’m learning HTML and other stuff to make a webpage for fun. It’ll be really low quality probably, but it doesn’t have to be great, it’s for me.
Coding is not dead, and it will not be until the last people with a passion for it die, if not, later than that
Open source devs working on literally the most important infrastructure that powers all other software development: Y’all are getting paid?
Honestly, not at all. If CS paid like shit I’d still do it. Out of all the things it’s just what I enjoy most. Studying CS didn’t feel like something I had to do but rather something I wanted to do most of the time. Programming is like solving puzzles but then much cooler
Money has definitely something to do with it, but when my job had nothing to do with computers I programmed way better. I kinda want to be back to that one day, the dream is to open/join a car repair shop and program, not for money, like the good old times.
I was programming in basic when I was like 10 years old and have been hooked ever since. I have been enthralled with these machines for over 40 years. I mean I come home from work (in IT obviously) and mess around with my home lab. The money isn’t bad obviously but this is and always has been what I was destined to do.
