Omg, shut the fuck up. Come work a 12 hour shift on a psychiatric floor and get back to me about how "brutal" your job is. Start digging the pits, I'm ready to begin the purge.
“We’ve won the revolution! Now we can abolish punitive incarceration and begin restorative justice with psychiatric workers on the front line!”
Psychiatric workers, already halfway through digging the pits: “Wait, what?”
Listen, if the community consensus is that people like this can be rehabilitated then I'll obviously go along with it. But I'm gonna keep digging just in case it doesn't work out.
Nah, I just thought the imagery was funny. This guy’s primo pit material
we should pit everyone who has a bad take on the internet
:sicko-wistful:
Coding is a brutal 24/7 job
I'm not saying coding is easy, but it definitely would not make my list of hardest jobs.
I was able to resolve the hardest production incident I responded to last year while stoned off my gourd, even the hard parts are not that bad
Once the computer industry proves to be very lucrative, the capitalist men in charge basically purged all the female programmers that once made up the majority of the workforce and replaces them with men. In fact this is why Britain have no tech industry of note perhaps until today, because when they purged the women they failed to actually replace them with men which just lead the whole thing to collapse.
And now we have these geeks like him or the google guy I could probably knock out with a single punch telling us about how women doesn't have the constitution for computers. If you fucking hate techbros but doesn't have a good reason for it yet, then these are some good reason for you.
The UK had a booming tech industry in the 80s, didn't they? What happened then? Computers like the Amstrad, Acorn, ZX spectrum. Lots of people making homebrew programs and making tiny networks with one another. The article mentions that the British tech industry died by the 1970s due to the lack of specialized women and men. What happened to jump start it in the 80s just for it to collapse again? (genuine questions btw)
You know all those stories about companies started in garages? The garages were still an indication of being from a family that was economically well off. The mid to late 80's ushered in neoliberalism in full force and began the process of cranking the inequality back up. It was the tail end of a time where capitalists still had to fear the USSR before shifting into its fall followed by the rise of policies from people like Thatcher and Reagan. Combine that with credit card debt and whatnot and I'd bet there's a pretty good overlay of moderately secure families putting tech into the hands of young hackers and nerds just before you see it all start to crumble. Also the commodification of all that tech IP, the rise of microsoft, ibm, xerox, sun, etc. absolutely put a damper on the hacker culture.
Did they get Plaza Accorded by the Americans like Japan? Or was this purely their own brainworms fucking them over?
The only real history of that I know is that guy Alan Sugar went around buying all the British hardware manufacturers and then ran them into the dirt. Now he's some idiot billionaire. My intuition is that the British home computing scene was killed because it was too easy for anyone to make their own software and distribute it. You just needed a tape deck, or you could literally send someone the raw text of the program for them to type in. So I guess there might have been problems with proprietary software/hardware getting a foothold in the UK until Apple squeezed its way in. I don't know about anything like international trade deals that could have killed it.
Lol. Lmao. Coding is one of the easiest jobs in software and this guy thinks it's hard?
This is why men shouldn't be in site reliability engineering, they don't respond well to stress /s
It is a scientific fact that male brains cannot handle the complexity of Istio and go into a berserker rage that ends with them beating their monitors to paste with a mechanical keyboard. Sorry boys, it's just nature
Truly, the motherhood understander has logged the fuck on. I guess understand why the MRAs complain about a lack of paternity leave when their dumb asses think women get 9 months of paid leave (seemingly confusing pregnancy with postpartum care?)
"Aw c'mon, first you tell me tit bones aren't real, then i'm supposed to know about this cleetoris thing and now you're telling me women have a 'postpratum' lol
Leftists stop making up feeeeeeemoid body parts challenge go go go" :stupidpol:
Postpratum is the process of coming to terms with the fact that Chris Pratt is a colossal douche canoe
Maybe they've heard about some of the Scandiniavn countries maternity policies? I know that here in Denmark you get something like 2 months off before the birth and some 40-odd weeks after the birth. When my wife and I had our daughter, my wife was off work from september and back to work sometime in late august. I had like 2 weeks, because my job was non-union at the time and my contract was dogshit, and afterwards I got my current job, where I've been for slighly more than a year. I'm also pretty sure that Denmark has the "worst" policy of the Nordics, since Sweden has something like 2 years of parental leave, though that might be an exageration.
I listened to the first minute and he keeps mentioning all the coupons and black Friday deals they found together, like even when talking about his failed marriage he's mostly focused on the material aspects and wealth.
Immediately recognized him as the "as a millionaire" guy. :stalin-gun-1::stalin-gun-2:
This dude's so funny because his life keeps getting worse and he plays it off like he's a role model or something. I swear dude's going to start giving real estate investment advice while living in his mom's basement or something lol.
He's a transparent grifter, but a stupid one at that, one that explicitly explains that the hiring process at FB is 100% arbitrary and full of nepotism but still pretends his courses will make a meaningful difference when the tech recruiter presents you with a leetcode hard problem because he didn't like your accent.
I work like 30 hours a week, a lot of which is walking over to the couch and laying down to think for a bit or walking to the kitchen to get a snack and give my eyes a break. What is this lifestylism nonsense?
Facts:
- If one of your hobbies is watching tech talks on YouTube, that is not part of your job.
- If you have hobby projects you maintain a codebase for outside of work, that is not part of your job.
- If you are on call and expected to respond to a crisis at any time of day, you should be getting compensated for those on-call hours.
- If you are required to do professional development for work, the cost should be covered by your work and your should be compensated for your time.
- If you are not being compensated for hours you are entitled by law to be compensated for, that is wage theft. Your employer is robbing you.
- If you make $50k/year for a 40 hour work week and are on call for an extra 80 hours on top of that, you’re being robbed, on average, $273/day. If you’re making $150k/year, that becomes $820/day.
Women shouldn’t code… perhaps be influencers/creators instead. It’s their natural strength
But… you got rich as a tech influencer, not as a programmer
Coding is statistically more dangerous than being a police officer
Every single day, James Damore faces the consequences of being a racist and a misogynist, a fate that no police officer would ever endure.
Edit: wait, no, he’s still just grifting the right wing talk circuit
I remember a funny collection of youtube thumbnails that charted his descent
