>>108994403 Nah, I mean I'm the other startupfag from the other thread trying to get funding to get out of this particular regular job grind into another kind of grind.
>>108993647 I also applied to YC a couple years ago. Got rejected without an interview. Tbf, my idea was dumb and they shouldn't have funded it. I wasn't able to get anyone to even try it on my own. Funnily though, Dalton Caldwell emailed me six months later and told me I was int he top 10% last time and should apply again for the next batch with a new idea. I didn't have any other ideas though, so I just ignored him. Basically been neeting ever since.
I don't mind senior non technical leadership being retarded about AI but what's with the principle or staff engineers acting like complete retards about it? Can't count how many times our organisation's principal engineers say stuff that's so retarded you can physically see the embarrassment on the faces of mid levels / seniors
>>108994572 The phrase "anyone else 'ork at 'oft" is likely a playful or intentional misspelling of "anyone else work at Soft", where "Soft" probably refers to Microsoft. Possible Interpretations:
Microsoft Reference: "Soft" is a common shorthand for Microsoft (from "Microsoft"). So, the user might be asking if others work at Microsoft. Typo or Autocorrect: It could be a typo or autocorrect error, possibly meant to say "work at Software" or another company with "Soft" in its name. Inside Joke or Meme: On platforms like 4chan or Reddit, users sometimes use broken or misspelled text for humor or to bypass filters. Context Matters:
If this was posted on a tech forum or a Microsoft-related thread, it’s almost certainly about Microsoft. If it’s from a meme or trolling context, it might be a joke or a reference to something specific in that community. Would you like help figuring out the exact context or origin of this phrase?
>>108994514 In my career I worked at companies of various sizes. I always preferred startups. I was employee #3, #8, #18 and #43 in the past. I was also at a FAGMAN for a bit. Overall startups are just definitely more my style. But it's not for everyone. Early employees need to be comfortable doing many things outside the normal narrow tech task described on paper. Hours can be unstable, and the impact of a single bad actor on the work environment is a lot worse. But when it goes well, it gives the opportunity to be exposed to all kinds of areas you might never have considered, like sales or business, and in the right startup you'll get to drive development of breakthrough technologies that directly define or kill the company. You also get front row seats in the process, which I always found very interesting.
my startup experience consisted of >oh you have no experience in web design? well start making our website, you're smart you can do it >you're behind on the work I assigned to you? well see as part of your contract that means you're not getting paid this week
>>108994818 these are always plea deals because DAs are terrified to go to trial. there are way too many retarded people that know about nullification now. any time you go to trial you run a risk of losing slamdunk cases because of anti-racist whites who would never render a guilty verdict for a colored person, and explicitly racist nonwhites who are proud to nullify even violent crimes.
healthcare fraud in america is incredibly high too. if you think somali daycares are bad, people have been creating generational wealth via healthcare scams for decades upon decades now. healthcare fraud is 100s of billions of dollars every single year in the US. most of the cases are nonwhites, of course. https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-publications/quick-facts/Health_Care_Fraud_FY23.pdf

I was so excited when I received the offer 6 months ago.
Fast forward, the company which I always positioned as the dream is a nightmare.
My day to day is incredibly chaotic. My calendar is often double/triple booked from 8am to 6pm. My peers exchange emails from 7am to 11pm. I see lots of people spending their federal holidays responding to emails and teams chats. Ive witnessed numerous peers take PTO, for a week or two weeks, yet they still login to work every day and attend certain meetings. Ive seen peers with 10 hour days trade their only 30 minute break to cover another meeting. I havent had a week of consistent lunch breaks since my first month here. Generally I try to eat really quickly in meetings which is challening when you have to talk. Sometimes i dont eat my meal until 4pm. Beyond that the general org structure is atypical and people in my area essentially have no consistent team they are on.
The dilemma Im facing is that I am miserable, feel shitty that the company I always wanted to be at sucks so bad, and contemplating my next move. Working here is glamerous and looks great on my resume. Peolple would die to be in my spot. I feel conflicted at the idea of leaving and am trying to work through that. I dont see this dynamics of my role or company changing. All of that said there are absolutely areas of my company that are fantastic to work in, im just not in one of those areas unfortunately. It would take 1+ year for me to move internally. Due to the economy the company is not hiring or backfilling jobs until early 2027. There are absolutely silent layoffs taking place.
>>108996007 I have chinese lessons and then have to spend two hours eating dinner with my girlfriend (chinese) and her parents then we're gonna play a friendslop game that only she likes. Sounds like hell but she's got a fat ass, lips like a vacuum, and works in tech. Can't complain.
>>108996233 that will be really cool when your son (hapa) will hit puberty and become (unfuckable) (sad) ricecel because you were another (pathetic) white guy with yellow (fever) best of luck to you there peter roger
>>108995999 I know it's not what you want to hear but start applying elsewhere. I make more than that and don't hate my job. I probably do 45 hours of actual work a week and rarely do anything on the weekends. Working constantly and being miserable isn't worth any job. Seriously, start applying today.
>>108996416 I work when I'm at work and stay an hour late most days. That's it. The upside is I make nearly 500k and will have a 10M NW by 40. That's worth it to me.
>>108994105 BROOOOOOOOOOOOO my life is ruined. I failed out of college in 2021 and I still haven't made meaningful progress in CS50. AI is coming for my future. Where can I buy discounted rope and a ladder?
>>108996633 Don't go into software unless you're willing to work your ass off. Just take a look through /utwg/. Hell, you can even see it here. People whining that they're having to compete with giga autists imported from China and India. That's your future unless you go become a plumber, and if you can't even bring yourself to learn CS50 then to be frank, you wouldn't have made it even during the golden era when any retard with a CS degree could crack into FAANG. Things have gotten 50x worse since then. You don't have a chance.
>>108996650 Nice 4d chess anon. Less competition, I like it Don't worry tard, you'll be fine, just work, golden age will still last around 10 more years
>>108996675 I have 7 YoE and work at Netflix. I was solving leetcode hards when you were flunking 4th grade math. You and I will never compete for anything, retard.
>>108996193 the problem is that the indian gov does not give a fuck if their citizens or businesses scam other countries. they have no incentive to do so and probably get off on it. however i've played a lot of vidya with people from these countries so here's what i'd do >indian gov proposes trade deal with EU or the US for a trade deal >"ok we will sign this deal but no more indian scams ok" >"yes saar of course no scam anymore we promise" >"ok sign this extra clause: whenever an indian company scams someone in our country, we will provide proof of the event and deduct the monetary loss from our next payment to you :)" in a sane world they would then pursue their own scammers to avoid the microsanctions and eventually become scammer free. however realistically it would cause an immense loss of face because they can't admit that their citizens do scam and they don't intend to stop it, so they would immediately attempt to rape the EU/NA representatives on the spot in an attempt to save face
>>108996698 >>indian gov proposes trade deal with EU or the US for a trade deal oops i kinda wrote this sentence retardedly since ive not slept in days but its ok u know what i mean

>>108997121 $1000 in AI tokens can easily bring in $10K/mo recurring revenue. It's basic business. The info is out there—you just have to be willing to learn and take a risk to start your business.
>>108997113 Personally i couldnt think of anything, seems like every problem in software has been solved a long time ago and every software company today is basically grifting to make money off of widely availiable tech
>>108997223 looks good to me. A large large portion of the spend is initial costs, the revenue are not "initial" revenue. It's not like NFTs which would have been 0 revenue made
a lot of people in here are complaining about having to do meetings or other garbage just be glad you’re not doing L1 tech support for external customers, each call is suicide inducing as some subhuman 95 year old blames you for their TV not working
>>108995999 I used to think that fagman would look good on my resume and help my chances with any job from then on. It didn't. Actually it actively harmed my chances. I fucking hate everything.
>>108997278 It's not initial if they have to keep training ever bigger models to fight it out, and to reach the level at which the spend can finally start diminishing. The massive infra buildout going on now sure as hell isn't "initial".

>>108998594 Nowadays they're trying to converge on hindi, but because they still have the caste shit going on the hindus hate all other indians and see them as slaves, and treat them as such.
>>108995525 Why is that a hard? You're just looping through a set of numbers then putting the digits into an array and looping through that to check each digits neighbours?
>>108998873 I don't get the math, it doesn't seem to track. Supposedly he spends 7500 on contributions to hsa and 401k, yet according to the breakdown, he actually spends 24k post-tax (assuming employer match was not listed) in 401k alone? He supposedly has 4000 a month take-home, but that excludes expenses. His rent is 2600, so doesn't that mean he has ~$1k for investments? The tax amount he specifies also seems wrong, should be quite a bit higher when adding up federal and comiefornia tax?
Anyway, I'm not a furry, don't live on ramen, and don't do vr slop. Otherwise pretty similar unironically, though since I live in a real country, I have a 75m2 apartment and the mortgage is less than 1/3 of my take-home. I generally save after all expense a bit more than an extra month's worth of living expenses, and if I lost my job, I'd be net positive for the next 6 months even if unemployed.

>Tough day for a lot of folks here.

>I suppose that this is the tradeoff for moving at the bleeding edge of innovation.
Lulzy as fuck. Wonder when he'll stop being spared. Maybe this interview was the reason he got saved this time around, who knows.
It's nicer and more comfy to try to stick with people for the long haul anon but if you really don't like your people that much I guess trying to create a new mixed people with people from other people who also don't like their people could result in a people that do actually want to stay with each other.
>>108998113 >>108998116 It's more that your dick shrinks when you get fat, it's attached to your taint not your pubes, having fat pubes makes your dick look smaller The fat is squishy so it's mainly the looks than physical
And yes women probably measure wrong, taking the measurement from the balls instead of the pubic bone It's all for bragging rights on Snapchat anyway Most women find cervix stimulation painful anyway, and the vaginal canal nerves are stimulated from pressure and stretching not friction, so it's not length but girth that's more important By the way, if women are having problems orgasming vaginally, it's usually because they've only had mutilated dry crusty cut dicks. See an intact dick works like one of those slippy tube toys, it moves inside of itself - I always wondered why my American friends would say "it's like jerking off without lube" when I as a Brit never had issue - it also forms a better seal and traps more of the vaginal fluids instead of dragging them out
>>108999552 The only one coping here is you because your parents sliced a bit of your dick off so Jews could blend in easier Finished their job off and trooned out yet?

>>108995999 are the meetings because you don't know shit from fuck and can't contribute to anything without other people handholding you or the meetings are useless to what you're trying to do? you control your own time decline shit, talk to your manager about this boggles my mind that people change jobs before trying to communicate
>>109001207 >boggles my mind that people change jobs before trying to communicate Yes. >you control your own time You are unemployed and have never worked.
>>109001335 Yup, definitely still in middle school with this retarded larp. Of all the places ever fagman is the last place you can say no to a manager. It's fired-on-the-spot tier. Unlike in smaller companies where it sometimes, though rarely, is a thing you can do. You'd know if you had ever worked, child.
>rejected late in the application process for a company (4 interviews in) >made the mistake of telling my family im interviewing with this company >uncle, who hasn't applied to a job in 22 years, hears the news >calls me and gives me "advice" for 20 minutes about how I need to be firm and send them emails asking for feedback and trying to convince them im the right choice >have to sit there the entire time listening to this shit
>>109001516 >Of all the places ever fagman is the last place you can say no to a manager. It's fired-on-the-spot tier. >You'd know if you had ever worked, child. the junior cuck still pipes up... of course you'll get fired if you "say no to a manager" literally nobody ever in the history of mankind got fired because the said "no, here's the case why" to the manager, especially in IT are THE GREEDY JOOS that made THE SYSTEM making more money if they're paying you $300k+ to sit in useless meetings unable to contribute and make an impact to the company's bottom line? no? here's your case, retard, you have a mouth.
>>109001550 He's actually right on that. It's a very low % success rate but I salvaged a rejection once this way (I failed the next interview phase but still) and got a job previously through this. Furthermore it gave me real useful feedback sometimes.

xAI is so funny tho, -96% is crazy. It turns out that hiring people and working them like slaves doesn't actually produce a viable produce
Is it normal for the requirements you're given in a jira ticket to be devoid of detail that it prevents you from even completing an item? Like "add this KPI make it filterable using X filter" (even though X filter literally can't apply) and you might know the data points related to the KPI but none of the business logic for the calculation. So tiring having to deal with this.
What do you guys find is the case at your workplace in terms of knowing what you're supposed to build. Half the time people don't even know what they want - or they'll tell you they want X with no understanding of what X is, even from a mere business perspective.

>>109001985 I don't understand this. Every item I work on I talk to my boss about what we need and then I make the ticket. Sometimes I get assigned bugs to fix, but if it's unclear I ask the person who made the ticket exactly how it happened so I can investigate the bug. Do people really get assigned random tasks by ghost people and you just have to complete it and commit it to the void?
>>109002373 My boss makes the ticket, I get it, realise there is so much detail missing, have to reason out as best I can how I think it's going to work, go back to him and ask if that's right, he might then take it away and get back to me with tweaks and then do it.

>>109004039 I’m astounded at how everyone takes this tech for granted. In a few years a technology was advanced to the point that it can understand foreign codebases, write correct(-ish) code via prompts, and replace small/quick scripts with a prompt.
I wonder how many people were vigorously dissecting inefficiencies of automobiles and engines when they first came out. I’m not saying that AI is or will be what was promised by the early AGI evangelicals, but it’s eye brow raising to be so dismissive of a technology that has grown so much in such a short timeframe.
