/twg/ - Tech Workers General

(Formerly /tjg/ - Tech Jobs General)

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.

If you get paid in EUR you literally would be better off as a McDonalds fry cook in the US.

Did a pomodoroish thing of taking a 5 minute break every 30 minutes.
Feels good, productive all day, less stressed after work.

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said baby, can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between

Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you

I told that girl that my prospects were good
And she said baby, it's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time

Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you

Beep beep'm beep beep yeah!

Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you

I told that girl I can start right away
When she said listen, babe, I got something to say
I got no car and it's breakin' my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start


Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you

Beep beep'm beep beep, yeah!
Beep beep'm beep beep, yeah!
Beep beep'm beep beep, yeah!

Just need to get through this week.

Fuck I hate how I’m just going to get pushed over because I don’t have a piece of paper, literally every employer in my country wants a degree even if it’s a janitorial position. I’m so desperate I think I might just do it anyway desu

life is gay like that
not like the degree people are any better either
can't code
can't do basic it
can't research
can't problem solve
need their hands held every step of the way
windows dependent

How difficult is it for you to get a degree in your country?

That's the thing, they can't code for shit in most cases and I honestly could just pass off being a reasonably competent cs grad

Not that difficult, but I don't have enough money for tuition or the entrance exams. Netherlands if you're curious what country.
