MODERATORS
I'm not opposed to be honest. Know any projects looking for Go devs?
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:
- Jr Support agent > Sr Support agent > Lead Support agent
- Tech engineer
- DevOps engineer
- DevOps lead
- Sysadmin > Sr SA > lead SA
- Technical Architect> Solution Architect > Sr Arch > Enterprise Arch
- Director of IT
- Raising chickens
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.
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.
They're not trying to get attention. They're trying to express their natural instinctive behaviours, and are being prevented by your violence and cruelty.
That's why he was a director of IT before the chickens, lol
Hah! Fair jab. In my defense that title was just a blown up way to attempt to keep me onboard without a raise. Being director of IT in a startup with only one IT person is definitely not filled with director-level tasks. That title, and the bullshit that came with it, are a big part of why I left.
Yes! Your deeply intellectual take based on my comparison of chickens shitting and screaming to how IT managers act is surely correct about how I live my life, and how those chickens live.
Fun fact - Our chickens live freely in the forest during the day, and have a nice safe place to sleep at night. We don't force them to come home, but they know what lives out in the forest and choose to come back to where they are safe and have friends.
Oh and we don't eat them. But if you wanna call pulling their non-viable eggs out from wherever they left them today violence then I have a few bridges to sell you in manhattan.
You're such a heartless bastard, depriving those poor foxes in the forest of their food, by sheltering it.
Finally, some criticism that makes sense! I will be sure to start feeding the foxes too. We already feed the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, bunnies, raccoons, stray cats, fish, black flies, and mosquitoes (with varying levels of 'on purpose').
What is one more species?
Seriously - This cruel bastard spends $500(cad) per month on feeding wildlife in the winter. What a piece of shit. And those raccoon houses we built so they'd be happy further from the house and stop tearing up our insulation? TORTURE FACILITIES filled with soft straw, eggs, fruit, and cat food.
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...
Imagine being born 10000 years ago where chances that you died before adulthood were significant and even a minor infected cut would likely mean your death, not to mention any more serious injury such as a broken bone 🥰
Don't get me wrong I hate modern wage slavery just as you do but I also appreciate not being dead yet just because I had a rough accident three years ago.
The fuck is this hog wash?
That mammoth, sabre tooth or slow human from another tribe isnt going down without a fight.
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.
"Why dont you just have AI do that?"
Vibe coding L
Like I use a lot of ai but u gotta be specific and understand the architecture lol.
