I picked the one engineering discipline most useful to society and not dedicated to the sole purpose of treat making…..

I WAS TOLD I’D BE A FUCKING BEAVER BUILDING DAMS BUT I’M MORE LIKE A FUCKING BUREAUCRAT EDITING WORD DOCUMENTS FOR TYPOS WHAT THE FUCK

EVERYWHERE I GO, ITS A BULLSHIT JOB. ENGINEERING IS THE MOST USELESS LIB INCREMENTALIST BULLSHIT OUT THERE.

KILL EVERYONE WHO SAYS ‘YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN USEFUL DEGREE IF U WANTED MEANINGFUL WORK AND HIGH PAY.’

PROGRAMMING GATCHA GAMES IS NOT USEFUL U FUCKING NERD

    not to dox myself too hard or anything but i literally write enterprise software that would definitely still have to exist in some form even in a communist society without regressing in technology, which is about as close as you can get to genuinely meaningful and helpful work in comp sci next to writing software for planes and MRIs, and there’s still so much bullshit to slog through. bureaucracy and excessive meetings about business and marketing that really aren’t that relevant to me writing code, it’s a lot sometimes, and even the parts of my job that aren’t bullshit are still pretty much busy work a lot of the time. anyway i really just want to say there’s more useful disciplines of engineering than building bridges, it’s a little reductive to limit being useful to society to just that, some of us going on the computer guys are still trying to do good work yknow? thank you

        Yes. After fang its the banks, then the mic, then the trashfuture bit tech startups, then finally the internal software department at a non tech company. Even at the non tech company youll still be like 4 steps removed from production
