The FOSS loser rice culture was everywhere back in the 2010s. It was all over 4chan, Reddit, Hacker News. You couldn't escape it. People arguing pointlessly all day, every day, about Linux distros like Gentoo and Arch, text editors, LISP, SICP, terminals, how Python sucks, and other meaningless bullshit. Young men wasting their lives on this while the actual industry was hiring anyone and everyone for 6 figure jobs that they were uninterested in and ambivalent to like they would just be there forever.

Sadly, I fell victim to it and got a terminal case of this disease. I was too busy listening to the shitty advice from you losers who pretended like you were some elite club of genius programmers. Now we have AI copilots H1B visas raping this job market taking positions that could've been mine if I'd just learned some popular frameworks and did leetcode instead of wasting my teens and early 20s listening to you fucking cretins.

I would have been a millionaire by now. I could’ve become a FAANG tech lead and got a 300k/yr WFH job. Instead I have nothing and I am too late to the game now as an almost 30yo man, and I'm stuck here looking at the wreckage of my wasted years while every fresh grad and the entire subcontinent of saars can do LC hards. While we argued endlessly about minutiae the world just moved on. Fuck you all for ruining my life with your stupid FOSS crap, you all deserve to have your testicles cooked and fed to you then be thrown into vats of sulfuric acid for how many lives like mine you probably ruined with this shit.

And I got convinced by SA that Bitcoin was stupid back in 2010. They were right, but that wasn't taking into account that people were dumber and there still was money to be made.

100% (You) issue.
You deserve this, btw.

Stop pretending like it was just a few 4chan shitposts instead of a massive online subculture that drew in a ton of people.

you're right but it's all getting leveled now anyway,

>blames everyone else for his own life choices.

You are not a millionaire at this point because you are weak. You are the problem.
>>
>>108272556
Well no, it's because I was indoctrinated into stupid things by losers and if I had better guidance I would have never done what I did and simply learned what I needed to know to get a good job instead. Has nothing to do with "weakness".
>>
So, you're an obsequious little slut with no sense of self-preservation. How revolting.
>>
>>108272605

So you let total strangers on the internet tell you what to do with your life and you never did a research on your own?
>>
>>108272286
Literally me. I’m fucked now
>>
>>108272286
Guess what? It's 100% your own fault. It's easy to blame everyone and everything for your own failings.
>>
>>108272902
It's not, because it wouldn't have happened if I weren't exposed to this stuff and had it constantly shoved in my face.

if you study mathematics and social sciences you might yet see all the open potential still in the tech industry.

A FAANG tech lead would make way more than that. I was making more than that in a non-FAANG WFH SWE role.

And what do you do in life now? Just bathe in money?

If you want money that much, just pretend you're an indian and act like one.

clearly being rich is so fulfilling that he just has to spend his spare time on 4chan

>>108273329
I lay around being depressed and distract myself with boring hobbies and media consumption.

open source was a psyop to waste the time of young white men and get them to work for free for jews while they would be replaced in tech by indians
>>
i know this is a shitpost but;
if it weren't for FOSS, you would've just got suckered into another dumb pitfall because dumb gullible niggers, such as yourself, at the end of the day are still dumb gullible niggers no matter how much their hands are held to keep them away from danger

go ahead, reply to me, i've dug another hole

Yes. But I don't even listen to myself

Joke's on us in the end.
>>
>>108272286
The reason I ruined my life is cause I was a scared lazy Neet hiding from the world. I finally got a tech-job at my late 30ies and my thoughts are all about how I could have gotten things sooner. I will probably never have a family because of it.
>>
>>108274975
What made you decide to come out of your cave and live life?
>>
>>108274991
I am not sure about deciding to change, I thought about change constantly but never acted. maybe it was me witnessing another guy who was just cheating his way though live scamming everybody and burning bridges.
Maybe I had to learn through pain.

It was more about just doing things, what kept me finally on track was a program by the job agency that I had to attend every day to work on myself and my applications, but out of the 20 people that attended I was one of the very few that finally got a job.

No because you're a retard. There's no way to add chunks of brain matter.

Programming culture today is just so retarded that it makes me want to tear my hair out.
>Rust vs C
FUCK RUST, FUCK ZIG, FUCK REACT, FUCK ALL THAT MILLENNIAL SHIT
C will always be king! I am not going to learn fucking Rust!
What the fuck even is a ZIG???
JUST LEARN C!!!!

Then you look at these job listings and its like "Must have 30 years of React Experience"
And its like mothafucka I know Javascript already and I fucking hate Javascript it ruined the web.
Fuck all that web developer bullshit. And dont even get me started on people who call themselves programmers when they just make websites. 99% of Web Development isn't programming you're just making a fancy text document!

These people make the industry dogshit because they keep chasing "the next big thing" when the system was never broke. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Write in C.

>>108272286
while you niggers argued about which linux distro is more "free" i just learned the microsoft stack (windows + C# + MSSQL) and now i have a cushy job with insane pay and benefits. your hyprland rice with vim open looks cool though i guess.

You're also too late to start a trade. If you're in the United States, the military has a bunch of job openings now.

please stop this pete, everyone that uses this website is permanently disqualified from the military due to mental illness until they lower their standards significantly.

he won't respond to this because these types of losers ALWAYS have to externalize their problems. if it wasn't other people on the internet, it would be mommy and daddy, or some bad teacher, or some other dumbass excuse. PATHETIC

Don't care.
Not my problem.
Get dabbed on.
Cry harder.
Stay poor.

yes nobody has ever been fooled by bad advice and guidance and they inevitably would have done something else bad if they got good advice, you are a genius man

Look on the right side. At least you didn’t do all that + troon out.

FOSS doesn't mean you can't make money. E.g., Linus Torvalds is rich.
This only proves that you only have yourself to blame.

>>108281833
the world is absolutely full of dogshit advice. it's on you to filter it. if you can't, it's literally your fault
