> 8 hrs What about crunch time? I feel like i do all nighters and then do fa during down time

>saving all your energy for the gym can already tell you’ve never had an office job >extremely low stress what are release deadlines
what a fucking retard
Adam Thomas
I'm a dev too but it's not Yas Forums at all. 99% of IT are either obese or numale onions. I got asked to move / carry shit all the time at my first job because everybody else was super weak. It's a cool job tho, even cooler if you work from home. >imagine getting paid to build a puzzle this is how I know your code sucks
>code even has the option to "suck" what shitty shop are you working at?
Blake Hughes
Same but quadruple and all I do is sell pictures of my balls to strangers from home :)
Jeremiah Ortiz
>lead development team >make stupid money >come in early, take long lunch and hit gym The industry is 99% onions though.
Dylan Wright
majored in CS, started as a software engineer, now CTO at a startup. i love my job but as a whole this industry attracts soi boi faggots. Just look at what they are doing with *nix and code of conduct bullshit. very few based lads or ladettes in our field. SAD!
Yup I'm a web developer and work has sent out an email telling everyone to work from home the whole month of March atleast.
Only been in the industry for a little over a year and getting paid $60k a year to sit at home, code in bed, fuck my girlfriend on my 1 hour lunch breaks, as long as I get my project done and the deadline is met no one really cares. Some days I just sleep until 11am and wake up, code for a few hours and call it a day.
Nicholas Williams
You’re being underpaid, in the Midwest I hire junior devs at $70/year
Colton Allen
That's really good. I guess I am being underpaid.
They say the biggest way to get a salary increase is to job hop. I can't say I want to right now because
1) I'm still learning every day at my job which makes me worth more (eventually) 2) I genuinely enjoy my benefits my job offers 3) Leaving a job too soon can look bad on you. I've heard job-hopping every 2-4 years is the norm and acceptable.
I also want to point out that even though it seems like what I just described is amazing I did not point out that last year I was working 70 hour weeks for a while to meet some insanely tight deadlines.. there was days where I would clock out at 5pm and then commute home, get home at 6:30pm and decide if I want to go to the gym and eat dinner and sleep or eat dinner, continue working while at home, then sleep. It was miserable
2020 has been good to me so far though.

Find a new job, it’s a developers market atm. We’ve all worked in bad shops or heard horror stories, don’t shit talk your employer but any competent person hiring devs will understand. We have stressful weeks but I don’t let my devs work more than 40/week. You’re not a code factory and doing crunch mode is just going to introduce more mistakes and more tech debt.
Dominic Myers
yeah right, 95% of code ever written could be improved
Angel Ross
i had the misfortune of being a software developer for a brief period and it was the loneliest and least fulfilling period of my entire life. i would never do it again. it sapped the spark out of me to a ridiculous extent.
maybe it's different if you have an interest in /g/ type stuff like all you nerds seem to, but for me sitting at a fucking computer staring at lines of code all day, knowing that the job will never be anything other than that, is just painfully dull.
Josiah Martin
I'm currently working in a specialised area of architecture/engineering. Basically I use the computer to draw plans for buildings and figure out the most cost effective way to make them structurally sound. It's a fairly fit job but note to all office workers, do stretches as much as possible when you're in the office.
Noah Ross
software dev here.
its a fucking job, not a lifestyle like so many retards claim to think it is.
Ryan Perry

What do you do now? I got into the best university of leaf land for computer science but dropped out because that nerd shit is so boring. I just want to read about facism, estoteric nutrition knowledge and go for walks. I also uniornically love my dishwashing job beacuse the chix in the restuarant are hot and alwayus mirin me and I get to play the role of a cold, mysterious guy just washing dishes and all the bishes luv it cuz they see fizeek but also my faic and go yum and vagaina go squirt squrit. Also they let me take home some canned tuna and it tastums and make belly go yum
Noah Allen
it's much better when you try to solve real world problems with your software skills. You may not appreciate it if you're one of the 100 devs in the office. If you're in a startup / own company and see how your success and failures affects the clients that you're speaking to every day, it's much more rewarding & humbling. You can get the same in a big company but it'll take 10-15 years to be able to make decisions that matter
Isaiah Butler
Are your initials SO
Nathaniel Gutierrez
yes we know, everyone on Yas Forums is a software developer making 250k a year
Brandon Taylor
i get you. i was a dev in an office of, you guessed it, about 100. i'm out of that field now anyway
i'm starting an app-based recruitment agency with my friend (although we will see how things go with le beer disease running riot)
Bentley Jenkins

James Hall
What's it like being Yas Forums as a dev? How did you get hired on without a degree, do you need amazing projects?
Also I've been Yas Forums at a design job, its kinda nice when milfs check you out and girls happily think you're hitting on them
Andrew White
Is it realistic to get a dev job without a degree, or is that a meme?
Gavin Powell
Very realistic. People graduate bootcamps instead of going to college and get hired. People self-teach themselves on YouTube and udemy and get jobs (my story). Be passionate, willing to learn and teachable and you have an internship no problem that could lead to more opportunities.
Adrian Murphy
Is it possible to skip the internship and straight to working?
Would it be realistic to get a web dev job then jump to Software Dev, or is that like being a mechanic vs an astronaut?
Elijah Robinson
>>saving all your energy for the gym >can already tell you’ve never had an office job >>extremely low stress >what are release deadlines >what a fucking retard yep. not to mention the pajeet tech support calls and dealing with a 73 IQ scrum master every morning. op doesn't even code.
Hudson Morgan
literally all you have to do is know how to code well and know design patterns. that's it.
Liam Powell
Well, put it this way. "Software developers" are the current producers of THEE "Coolest Shit" on earth. It's also THEE most skilled job around (even if humble software developers act like its super EZ). So yeah, the "higher upz" have to be super chill. As if that's not blatantly clear.
Jaxon Jackson
Not op but >what is work life balance The scrum master does not have that high of an IQ you're being too generous by at least double.
Bentley Robinson
t. Actual software dev
You're either working 70 hour weeks or doing barely 20. I like it tho, especially being working from home 75% of the time. I sleep late, do a few tasks, have a long lunch with friends, go to the gym, come back home, and do a few more small tasks. Get paid 100 - 200k depending on experience. Comfy life friends.
Ian Barnes
Yes. I did it. Taught myself as a child. I'm fucking stupid as well, I just wanted to make games as a kid so that's all I did. Now I get paid big bucks, all because I'm slightly better then most of my peers.
Adam Kelly
cool blog post, how do I unsubscribe?
Connor Collins
that sucks. you probably worked in some advertisement department which would suck balls
FinTech Master Race here, the stuff our company is doing is improving the lives of millions of people around the globe
Hunter Robinson
>1) I'm still learning every day at my job which makes me worth more (eventually) Good, don't leave yet. The second that stops or you look around the room and realise you know more then everyone in it, it's time to leave.
>3) Leaving a job too soon can look bad on you. I've heard job-hopping every 2-4 years is the norm and acceptable. Not true in our industry. Tenure doesn't matter and it's all about skill and communicating that you have. I actually see bad developers have longer tenures since they don't have the skills to jump ship every 6 months for a pay rise.
Adrian Bennett
>Is it possible to skip the internship and straight to working?
yes but you'll have to start at something with shit-tier pay, 50-60k. you'll also need a good portfolio to show off and good interviewing skills
>Would it be realistic to get a web dev job then jump to Software Dev, or is that like being a mechanic vs an astronaut?
if by "web dev" you mean 100% html/css, then no.
Nolan Hill
apparently the most Yas Forums job is also the job that attracts skinnyfat pajeets and so1boys
retard
Carter Nelson
yeah, sure. lining the pockets of the rich is improving the lives of millions.
cope harder. it's okay that the only point of your job is to make rich people richer.
Ryan Sanchez
100% chance you work in retail or the food industry and are one degree from being an outright nigger
your jealousy is saddening
Dominic Clark
blah blah blah, that's how the world works you worthless faggot.
Justin Baker
why did you think I didn't have a degree? You can get hired just off projects tho, just have to show you care.
Other than that, it's a bit weird being a fit dev. IN a big office nobody really cares. You get more female attention, but dev shops have like 1% women, so still not much. If you have client interaction, people almost expect you to be a shit dev if you're fit. You don't fit the stereotype.
Hunter Torres
You couldn't be more wrong lol what a goof
Jackson Bennett
fucking lol at working in 2020 the most Yas Forums job is getting $24k neetbux a year thanks wagies
Noah Martin
Dependency injection is like a basic concept for backend development at least for Java/Springcels like me.
I'm a twenty year old software dev who started working at 19. I skipped college, and now my work is paying for my education lmao. I've made and invested so much money, I should be a millionaire before 35.
The only issue is that my tech lead is the biggest Autist I've seen on this planet. He literally has trouble looking people in the eyes, and spergs out at every typo he sees.
Gabriel Reyes
Same but quintuple in 9mo
Carter Wright
scrum is literally how you spot the company that cant get their shit together and wants to make as much noise as popular like 15 year old girls
Josiah Reed
i'm not denying it's how it works. I'm just telling the dude to not glorify it as improving the lives of millions . . . . because it's not
Benjamin Morris
unironically the largest software companies (like the big 4) pay software developers straight out of college $110k+ with huge signing bonuses and stock options + all the benefits you could want and ones you didnt even think were possible >t.interned at big 4 company over the summer and have friends working at other big 4 also the real red pill is if youre gonna work for a big tech company work at one of their smaller offices. They actually have a community feel unlike the huge 10k+ people campuses
Kayden Howard
I am an electrical engineer, shit is stressful, your code isn't working and you have no idea why or how to fix it, and you have to meet a deadline and don't know the next steps forward. I started to stop caring and just try my best, code not working in time? Not my problem, my boss has to talk to the customer not me lol.
Nolan Turner

just do what i did and quit
Connor Watson
Kek
Sebastian Edwards
v true. seeing tweets from people happy with the work you did is really fulfilling
Easton Price
hahaha you're hurt
Logan Hall
No, I'm also a software developer. That's why I think you're a silly goof.
i literally write the code that allows people to withdrawal money from their bank account. I'm the "jew" you're so terrified of. in 2 minutes i could clear every trace of your bank account and laugh as you freak the fuck out, your bank desperately struggling to research the audit files just to figure out what the fuck happened, meanwhile days are passing and you can't renew your BLACKED subscription and begin considering suicide
