Thread for those of us who actually work in tech to tell workplace stories, complain about coworkers and management, share advice on how to progress in careers, and discuss the technologies we use at our cagies.

>first job >been working 2 months >officially a backend position >get there >turns out I have to do a bunch of frontend shit too >okay its fine, Im familiar with react >turns out theres also a companion mobile app >now im a mobile dev as well >pm is salty because im missing deadlines
what the fuck if you wanted a fullstack + mobile dev and if youre in a rush, why hire a junior with 0 experience?

Do you guys think tech is doomed in the upcoming recession? Think it'll be anything like the dot com bubble?
One of my friends dad was working at IBM during the dot com bubble. I have distinct memories of him yelling into the phone things like "the days of 400k salaries are over!" We would always be trying to play Vidya and he would always be on his phone yelling. That's what wfh does to you.
thats what my resume looks like just from me thinking about what makes a good resume without looking at some gay guide (with the addition of a bunch of tiny, invisible skills listed in each section to trick pajeet written resume parsers into promoting my resume to hr roasties who don't know better)
Hudson Murphy
Same, backend engineer who had to learn React on the fly to help with frontend here. React is comfier once you get used to it but I find it dishonest to hire someone for a postion and made them do something else afterwards.
Uber has never turned a profit and was worth $100 billion, still worth $40 billion. Tons of other companies are almost as bad. There will be a massive reckoning, probably pretty soon, but tech won't be "doomed".
Jason Martin
still, I want some feedback

How much should I give a fuck honestly?
I'm 4 or 5 months in my first dev job and there's been absolutely nothing to do for the past 2 months already. No one is bugging me, no one is saying anything and I keep silent while pretending to do refactoring and janny stuff. I have a lot of other stuff to do besides my job and I appreciate the off time to learn other things tech and non-tech related.
My original plan was to just get my foot in the door and get a decent amount of experience to job hop into something better later (My pay right now isn't stellar, understandably).
So, how much should I care honestly? do I start being a proactive sóyman and ask for more work? what else should I do? Most days I really don't care but sometimes I fell lowkey guilty and stagnating.
Like any downturn, the top % will get richer while the middle class gets reamed
Isaiah Richardson
it will be worse than dot com bubble because tech sector is much bigger now, but it's still 90% vaporware money losing trash

I guess my question is how much harder will it get for the average tech worker? I know an engineer who specializes in "machine learning" but doesn't know what PCA is. I suppose at least that guy is doomed.
Parker Harris
Uber had a frightening amount of years to prove itself, if it fails it is deserved
Owen Wright
I guess I wouldnt be so mad if I wasnt under constant pressure to do time sensitive tasks in shit I started learning last week not to mention they use some in house tools which you can only learn about if you ask the seniors like I went back in time to the era of village shamans lmfao react isnt so bad, Im getting slowly used to it and its very capable in all honesty
