I was hired to modernize a legacy Java banking app with a small, long-term team. The app is painfully slow and dated. Surprisingly, my senior dev buddy supports updating it, but I want to ensure the rest of the team feels respected rather than forced.

My background is Next.js/TS. A friend in fintech loves Kotlin, and I’m considering pushing for that. I don't know the language yet, but it seems like the perfect middle ground since it is fully interoperable with their existing code and much easier for Java devs to adopt.

>Just stay on Java
I dislike Java and believe Kotlin is a stronger marketing sell as a "modern stack."

I interviewed for a Release Engineer role at Brave Software and the experience was not what I expected. I went in prepared to talk about CI/CD architecture, Jenkins declarative versus scripted pipelines, TeamCity with Kotlin DSL, scaling Chromium builds, artifact promotion, reproducibility, and release orchestration at scale. Instead, the interview focused almost entirely on low-level Linux and networking fundamentals. They wanted exact df and tcpdump flags, not general debugging approaches but precise switches. The discussion moved into the TCP three-way handshake, congestion control under latency, reciting the OSI model in order, explaining how iperf works internally, how to build a VPN tunnel from scratch, kernel parameter tuning, and filesystem internals like inode mechanics.

>>108267797
cont.
The interviewer was the director and had previously held the role of release engineer, so confused by it! It did not help this guy was rapid firing questions, seemed very annoyed and detached and was very clear he felt he wast wasting his time, and came off combative at times during the discussion. For instance he challenged aggressively why I do not use brave as my browser and made me defend my position. It's a job, not a cult sir? I've tried it out, but I don't have to religiously use software just because I'm interviewing there.

Well prebuilt is going to cost more than home built so from that angle it comes down to time vs. money. It seems time is the value if you're willing to drop 10k so easily.

You'll save more in the long run buying than outsourcing this out on to AWS and other subscription models.

Without knowing how big we're talking can't give an accurate rating on if the specs are overkill.

My verdict: Drop this in a dedicated room to "work" and figure out how to make uncle sam pay for it through tax discounts. You figure out a way to be a small business or get your company to cover the costs and you can offload some of the costs over the years.

>>108270901

You're stuck in 2023, lil bro. AI doesn't make mistakes like that anymore, you have agents checking your code and doing full security audits and testing. Instead of a large team of devs, you just need a few technical leads

Claude Code has replaced jeet outsourcing, but with better hygiene and less scamming. There is zero usecase for jeets now. Zero. The AI can do the grunt work we'd assign to outsourced 87 IQ jeet teams.

>>108272327
>Claude Code has replaced jeet outsourcing
Well no, Claude Code replaced fixing jeet outsourcing. Once you had to hire white people during brief periods to fix the jeet code you paid for year-round. Now Claude can fix it, which means you just pay your jeet slaves 1/4 a livable wage and never bother with whitey.

>>108272474
I don't think the jeets are really going to be needed at all. One of the many problems with jeets is their horrible communication skills, dishonesty, and awful understanding of written or spoken English. That isn't going to mesh well with modern AI-powered workflows.

I think what's going to happen is salaries go to shit for everyone and the work becomes more local. But who can say for sure, the 2020's have been fucking crazy.

>>108272537
None of that matters compared to a jeet costs 1/4th to 1/6th of a white man. They're already replacing competent white seniors right now

I honestly don't know. The hours aren't particularly bad. It's not all that stressful. The project I'm on has a bunch of artificial deadlines that we keep blowing through, but that doesn't bother me. I do get constantly pinged by people for help. Like, when I login on Monday, I'll probalby have 20 messages to respond to before I can even start on my actual work. Some of them will be from my manager just asking for "quick" things. All that is probably part of it, but it shouldn't still be affecting me on a Sunday afternoon.

i feel like i was really sharp like 3-4 years ago but now i've realized there is no meritocracy, everything is mismanaged, and the only thing i have to "work" towards is increasing the arbitrary number of yoe on my CV so i can hop to a more senior adult daycare job that i was probably overqualified for 3 years ago already

Have any of you guys worked at either Worst buy or Micropenor? I was planning on never working a day in my life, but I was recently informed that I've been cut from the family will.

I'm looking to get a technician role. Just how well informed do I have to be about the latest hardware? I read in the job requirements that I either have to have a Comptia A+ cert, or be able to obtain it within 90 days. Both it and some Crapple cert are highly preferred. What's the job interview like?

I'd prefer Micropenor since they make you wear a faggy polo at Worst Buy, and I don't want to be put through the daily humiliation ritual of people staring at my moobs.

Random recruiter reached out on Linkedin for a Go developer position with double my current JS dev salary. The problem is I don't have any Go work experience but I'm familiar with it, she said 1 year of Go experience needed. I'm thinking lying and saying I used Go at my previous job 2 years ago (I actually used Python there), so they will expect that I'm a bit rusty and I will still have a chance?

>>108276059
>she said 1 year of Go experience needed
probably. 1yoe is really nothing, especially since the average covid hire will barely be able to write fizzbuzz with 1yoe. if you study a bit before and during the job, and read through the codebase a lot, then you will be fine i think

thoughever i'd be more worried if the company was stable. it's not a very solid economy right now and companies aren't that anxious to keep talent on board

I've spent years taking classes to get a CS degree and I'm afraid it's going to go to waste. Whatever the reason is on why the job market is so shit now, the ultimate question for the long-run is: Is the market going to recover in the future where it's not nearly impossible to find a job?

>>108276259
everything is a cycle, tech has seen booms and busts the past decades it's not new. Although AI does change things a bit, the stuff entry level programmers used to do can be done by AI, maybe it just means the bar is higher for entry level now. But there will always be some positions opening up as people retire/get promoted etc

inevitably some new tech meme will occur and there will be another hiring frenzy

>>108276259
>Whatever the reason is on why the job market is so shit now, the ultimate question for the long-run is: Is the market going to recover in the future where it's not nearly impossible to find a job?

the job market is bad because theres too much debt money on books. after 2008 and then later during covid, governments (especially the US) started spending on borrowed money like crazy, with no way to pay back those loans, except by borrowing even more money. that has caused assets to overinflate to the point that economic activity has become largely nonsensical and retarded, because everyone is just trying to chase after asset owner money instead of making toothbrushes or something

the only two ways out of this would be vast austerity measures, which at this point can only be accomplished by taxing and disenfranchising those with a lot of assets. that would cut down on the debt while also devaluing the assets (since those rely on debt money to be inflated). however the asset owners are the ones running society so it plumb isnt gonna happen. so we are likely going to go with option 2 which is trying to squeeze more and more blood out of a fundamentally broken economic system until something cracks and things take a turn for much worse

>Is the market going to recover in the future
yeah probably but i suspect it's going to vary a lot more depending on where you live and at minimum i think we are like 4 years away, because governments are either corrupt or in denial about the situation we are in

>>108276337
i think it is a cycle to an extent but we fundamentally can't go back to 2010-2020-tier tech boom until after we deal with the debt-fueled asset value crisis. if they fire up the money printer again, it's genuinely going to cause something really fucking stupid to happen, like i suspect something even stupider than hyperinflation (because not even asset owners want hyperinflation)

>>108276372
or actually i guess there could be a new hiring boom due to trump firing up the money printer one last time but idk i just don't see it as a good thing, it'll just be on borrowed time and society will degrade to shit in real time around us

well aside from completely eroding what is left of the US' soft power and the status of USD as a reserve currency (both of which is what the US relies on to be rich instead of a gas station with a big ass tech industry), it'd devalue assets and make the rich only sorta rich instead of megarich. it's mainly US citizens who hold the bonds so it's not like it would accomplish much anyway. it's like putting money out of 1 pocket into another

the only way i see it happening is if trump and his cronies get into one of their moods again and decides to say "nah we default LOL" or prints their way out of it without consulting the experts. the 1st would just cause an asset market crash and the 2nd would cause the economy to overheat with hyperinflation, which would also devalue the assets (because the bonds are also devalued).

well more like the entire western economic system throughout europe and the US is centered around empowering people whose only merit was getting on the asset bus early. basically the 2 main groups that economic activity is centered around is the megarich (1% of the population and 32% of the money) and your rank and file retired boomer (20% of the population and 50% of the money). both get their income from assets going up 10-20% every year. both live well beyond what they produce to society, which is nothing really.

that purchasing power has to come somewhere, which is mainly the younger, working population. essential service job pay worse every year as assets continue to inflate and currencies continue to depreciate. and more commonly now, we increasingly can't fund non-essential jobs, which is why talented CS grads don't get hired and why a lot of zoomers are just mooching off their boomer parents at home. can't blame them since if they did work, they'd just be subsidizing their parents' elderly neeting.

this economic model is pretty dysfunctional which leads to a lot more waste and inefficiency. animals instinctively notice unjust treatment and humans are no different. people can tell the game is rigged, which leads to discontent and no one really bothers trying anymore.

i'm not very optimistic about any of this because the signal is pretty clear. boomers intend to just hit the snooze button on all sorts of economic alarms until the bitter end. they don't care what happens to future generations. they intend to hold onto power and keep all the money until they either die or the system falls apart.

>>108276508
individually? not much right now. i don't really believe in voting. putting a name on a piece of paper has no leverage in a rigged system. the boomers have most of the democratic processes locked down so not much help there. basically the best way to put an end to it would be to do general strikes to try to cause enough system shock to make them give up power or change the system. they would have to, because at a certain point buying essential goods and services would cost too much for their passive income to sustain. in a way, zoomers are already kinda wrecking the system by refusing to work at the incentives given to them. that said, just having a lot of unemployed won't wreck the system. countries like india have 50% unemployed and they truck along just fine. the main reason we don't have a lot of unemployed in western countries is because westerners historically get pretty uppity and get on the streets when they see too much wealth/power disparity.

i don't really believe in violence or populism as a way to improve society. historically it doesn't work very well. historically, we've seen the best gains from labor movements and by having enough backbone to suffer short term pain for long term gain.

remote jobs were very common during covid here, but now i think they've mostly become hybrid as part of some kind of humiliation ritual effort kinda thing i guess. i still have a very stable remote job (it's the only reason it's competitive) and i'm afraid to leave because i might end up in hybrid hell

the only hybrid job i ever had fucking sucked. it started off as remote but they switched back to hybrid without any warning, and half-assed it horribly. like i'd show up on monday at 9 am (better be clocked in since that's when all the best code is written) and of course they had no workstations for everyone so they had us huddle around on 1 big table with our laptops. after like 3 hours or pretending to get work done i would say "ok i'm gonna go home where i have 2 extra monitors and finish my work there" and i guess they didn't like that because i got terminated not much later (semi-illegally but can't prove it). so now i just assume that any company that does hybrid is going to be the same kind of retarded

Honestly my biggest thing right now is building enough of a savings to spend my time with my wife and parents and sister and not have to worry about needing to work. I understand that I'm at the age that I can sacrifice some time, but knowing my family's medical history, I don't want to waste what's left of my youth working for a company that's not gonna give two shits about my wellbeing.
For this reason, the remote job seems better to me, but based on what a friend of mine says, there might not be a lot of long term stability in it (like 3+ years from now). I guess neither with the merger we're going through, but the devil you know I guess.

>>108281561
Long term stability in tech jobs has never been a thing.

I interviewed with one fintech company over three rounds, from December to the end of February. Today, I noticed they’ve reposted the job listing. Before I applied, they were looking for someone in the same role starting in July 2025, but they never hired anyone. How can I report this kind of company? It’s essentially free labour, and they clearly have no intention of hiring anyone.

Look, I get it, you fantasize about having some semblance of power for a few minutes over your boss, but really, they don't care. Everything at your work is transactional. Time and labor for money and benefits. Nothing more. You want another job? Interview, pick a place out of the two, hand your resignation in, walk out after 2 weeks/month/whatever.

>but based on what a friend of mine says, there might not be a lot of long term stability in it (like 3+ years from now)
I don't see an issue here. Most people work at a company an average of three to five years now. Hop in, find another job.

Bro, how can you die sitting in an office chair?

>I would refer you to the worst-case scenario. Which is you get fired.
Yes, I get it. And I wish I could go about it that way, but I can't. I worry too much about what people think of me, and I worry about disappointing everyone. If I slacked off, I'd feel even worse. It's better if I just walk away. And I need a break anyway, haven't really had any time off since 2024.

People die in chairs all the time
