Am I supposed to be sending follow-up emails to hiring recruiters/hiring managers?
Is that why I’m getting rejected?

Hey guys so I graduated last year in June 2025 with a CE Degree from UofT and I’ve been unemployed since. A handful of interviews I couldn’t convert. You can check my post history for more info but I’m starting to feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Everything I spend my time learning is just replaced by AI. I don’t find any value in learning anything anymore and feel like everything is over. I don’t retain any of the knowledge I garnered while grinding, the Leetcode all of it feels level zero. I tried to get my self esteem up but I still go to sleep crying every other night. I hate what I’ve done and it almost feels comical writing this because it really just feels like one big joke but it’s my reality. I thought I could pick myself up but my time has run out. I’m an international so I’m also on the clock on my PGWP. I don’t feel like talking to any of my friends because of how well all and by all I mean ALL of them have been doing career wise. I can’t fathom doing all this work for a 50k role which I might get laid off any day. I’ve been spending my days doing nothing now because it all feels pointless. I guess the question here is what should I do now that everything has come crashing down?

>>108968927
Most people aren't stupid by this qualification. Which is true. At the same time: They want to know there is some reason to hire you above hiring one of their buddies. Most HR makes sense when you realize that it only exists to justify the nepotism they were already going to do. You have to SHINE above Poohreet and Cleetus of the Curry Boys and Old Boys club who can't stir a cup of coffee on their own whom they were going to hire because of favors pulled in by their parents. If you can't absolutely curbstomp them and make it seem like they are obviously hiring on favoritism on reviews, then you don't get hired. Even for burger flipping jobs, they want Masters degrees minimum

>>108968737
Claude is trying to help you between the lines: Don't tell them the fucking truth. Don't tell Claude the fucking truth.

>>108971040
I think this yo-yo effect is pretty funny.

Let's be honest, ai is pretty fucking effective for a dev. But it's not a 10x thing unless your stack is hyper optimized for ai (this is literally only the case if you're a webshitter with a monolith backend, both in a monolith repo).
So companies go and hand out ai credits, people waste them only to get stuck on PRs

I've called this happening for many months. AI usage costs are going to continue to increase because AI companies are not turning profits. If they actually raised them to profitable levels (assuming nobody left afterward which is not realistic) they'd need to charge something like 0.0025 per token. It would cost tens of thousands just to stand up a repo with some slop in it.
I can't remember whether its my company policy or a copilot policy, but we're using enterprise wide pools now too, so that each developer uses out of that entire pool. We're definitely going to have some devs/teams draining while others only trickle out of it. That'll be SUPER FUN if we use to the limit and one day everyone just can't call agents because some other fuckers drained the usage.

I see it all the time in dpt too. Instead of making projects people actually want to use they make niche shitty emulators in C for outdated systems no one plays and better alternatives exist. Like making a text style d&d game in 2026.

>Why the fuck wouldn't you just host your shit on AWS instead of dealing with the headache of physical servers on terrible hardware?
Not sucking Amazon's dick is a good starting point.
But besides that, I can understand the autistic need to have access to the bare metal, even if it adds a whole fucking slew of bullshit upkeep. If a server goes down in an Amazon data center, not being physically present to see what the problem is could naturally make people nervous. It's dumb, but I understand it.

They're not being paid. C-suits are just retarded. All of the positions have devolved into sales and networking jobs over time. You might assume jobs based on bullshitting would be less susceptible to it, but because they are so stupid and they drink their own cool aid, they are actually some of the most susceptible marks because they think the con strategies are just 'things that work' because they (a smart person, surely) employ them, and don't realize they're being conned.

It's true, this doesn't matter especially under the current admin (and likely foreseeable ones that will be convinced to continue failing to regulate while "Regaining public trust in government" by lobbyists. But that's another story).

I will say, there IS an actual element of this I will cut CEO's slack on, and that's that the only way to boost investment right now is to pretend your an AI company. So in a sense that can be helpful. But I would say that the vast majority of CEOs/C-suite people are not in that camp. It's really funny actually, I talk to a lot of these people casually and you'll go to an event, everybody is talking about how AI 100x'd their productivity, and then essentially all of them in private are like
>I can't say it to investors, but I'm not seeing those gains! I don't know what we're doing differently than these other companies who are using AI more efficiently!
Like... Bro... Maybe they're lying the same way YOU ARE ALSO LITERALLY LYING ABOUT IT?! You're not supposed to be lying about your company, hearing the same lies about other companies, and then trying to adjust your business to conform to the a model that only works if the lie that YOU KNOW IS A LIE, is true.

Honestly, it's so strange.
Anyway, yes, businesses have become completely unfocused. I agree.

If I hear one more fuckass trying to tell me I "need to use ai to become 10x engineer" I am going to commit a felony.
I'm talking about people in the real world. Not anyone in /twg/ don't worry.

Just got the email telling me that my offer has been put on hold indefinitely because they couldn't match me to an existing team .
If something opens up in the next few months they'll "let me know".

Currently work a $60k/year after taxes job that is comfy as fuck and lets me sleep and play games almost the whole day
Got offered $90k/year after taxes but it sounds like it will be hell and that they'll monitor me the whole day

lamenting spending no time with your family or friends as a good thing because you got to retire after decades of it is depressing.

im a summer intern and i was using vim, my senior mentor had never heard of vim so i had to explain to him what it was. i thought millennials were suppose to be tech-literate, but i mean he also clicks his programs instead of using alt-tab so he might just be retarded.

>>108974676
is vim really faster than like vscode? should I just put vim commands in vscode? how long does it take to get faster with vim?

>>108974672
if 60k for you is like 100k for americans then I say stay, you have to look at how much your spending and how much things cost to decide.

>>108974685
sorry i meant vim binds inside vscode, i like vim binds but i dont like vim itself

>>108974696
$60k after taxes is like a mid-tier heart surgeon in Brazil, so I guess it would be like a $200k salary for americans?

after hundreds upon hundreds of hours you might be mildly more efficient in manipulating text

Stop. You know nothing. You have shipped 0 features by hand. No one has ever depended on your code. You are a finger-wagging "AI wrote this" type in an era where you hide in plain sight coasting on the moral high ground of writing toy projects and scripts from scratch. Can't ship, can't adapt, can't even realize that /twg/ is not the place for this kind of attitude.

This. Literally this so much. There are many respectable programmers who waste all day learning binds to improve text manipulation by 1ms over hundreds of hours. Only a nocoder would spend their time actually writing code. And so what if I'm trans?

I want out of the industry, I'm sick of this. But I don't know where I can move to and the local work placement agency only wants to actually help people who are unemployed or on food stamps. Where can I go?

I don't need a lot of money, so I'm pretty free. I just need ideas.

What do you like doing?
If you like cooking, apply for cook, if you like building, apply for carpenter or whatever, see what I mean?
But I would stay in your current job and just silently quit (meaning not quitting, but doing the bare minimum not to be fired) while learning a trade.
Best case, you only needed vacations, and now you like your job again and you know a new trade.
Worst case, you are fired, but you can apply for your new trade.

About a month ago I made a fake account on linkedin and indeed that was identical to my existing one except female and fake address. I sent 8 zero effort job applications with identical resume and no cover letter.

I totally forgot about that until now and I logged into the account to see I had gotten 3 physical interview invites.

Meanwhile it took me like 300 applications to get my current underpaid dogshit job after 1.5 years of searching.

The problem is that she genuinely thought the guy was saying boomers worked hard. She doesn't realize he was calling out boomers for doing 0 work and yet still skipping on family and then doing the 'kids these days' thing. She walked right into it saying how she was able to pay her way into a life of opulence doing nothing while those after can't do it even working 3x longer hours and 1000000x harder, so what's the point.

>>108974676
All my colleagues know vim. A couple beside me use it. Others use vscode but they still know what vim is and wish they'd know it better to use it over vscode. Are you sure they're millenials? Could be, as there were all kinds of dudebros infesting the field at the time on the promise of high pay (they thought it was a white collar job, so 90% downtime and send emails sometimes), but they usually don't gather around tech-serious orgs. It's a good way to tell if a tech org is worth joining.

Im actually gonna do this now. Ill say im a transmasc female but im gonna keep presenting male. Lets see how that works

I exclusively use vscode with DVT and git extensions. Literally impossible to code otherwise

why are there so many autistics in CS?
i thought it was maybe just a meme, and i happened to have a high number of them at my college. but i've worked two different jobs since then and they're everywhere. i'm sure i have been touched and that's why it bothers me so much but man these motherfuckers drive me crazy

I simply stopped being able to learn tech in my free time. I still like tech, but I stopped being able to make up imaginary problems in my head that would facilitate learning unless I really encounter something new either at work or in my shizo security endeavours.

Then I actually learn and master stuff.

Maybe, it's just that there's too much to learn and learning everything is impossible so I subconsciously ignore impractical stuff.

Software development was my hobby and I also turned it into my job because I'm retarded. Will working on cool projects on weekends keep the interest alive or speed up the process of me hating it?

>>108977674
>speed up the process of me hating it
don't believe the retards who say you'll start hating it, I am still writing code for fun, but you'll be more burnt out and won't have as much time to do it.

>>108977674
In my opinion it would improve your career prospects but not particularly your love for life unless you work on something extremely enjoyable or purposeful
If you make software for a living then the best thing you could do for yourself outside of work is anything else

Absolutely nobody cares about your projects unless you get like millions of users or it turns into a profitable business. Post-2010 job market is the clownest shit ever.

>>108977941
There is plenty of time after work to both exercise and pursue your hobbies. I guess what happens to most people is that they can't be bothered to do any hobbies any more because then they won't have time to play videogames or watch tv or browse the internet. You have to choose.

>>108977962
You forget that the hobby is the same thing as the job

>>108977980
Building crud sloppa and weird game engines are not the same activity. It's like claiming that writing legal documents is the same as writing stories because both require writing text in English.

>>108977980
not really. if you think that way, then you probably never had it as a high priority to begin with. that's okay, because it's okay to work just for money and it's no lesser than if it was something you love or if you don't

if you love it then you will find a way to make time for it. it's that simple.

>>108977938
Yeah but you never did this.

do you plan on living past 50? 60? given that this is all going to hell and there'll never be a person in your life to make you feel good and your body and mind will deteriorate

>>108978027

>>108977989
The activity is not the same, but the format is the same. Much like line cooking and home cooking are not the same, but line cooks rarely cook elaborate meals at home because they're tired of cooking all day anyway.

>>108977998
I plan to live forever. This way, in the limit of infinite time, someone will definitely be in my life to make me feel good. Checkmate.
