The fuck? We're programmers. We have the easiest lives of the working class. I'm literally sitting here in my underwear, unshaven, drinking a beer, making stupid money for coding objectively pointless crap much like 99% of us. It's absurd. Lighten up.
- 3pt14159 12y agoYou work for liberty, like me. Others took the work visa to Microsoft land. It's a well monied but shitty place.
- AdeptusAquinas 12y agoI work in MS land. Still pretty easy relatively speaking. I always feel slightly guilty when I think of my brothers who work in construction and hospitality respectively, for low-pay and long hours.
- mrcold 12y agoI would be happy too if I was a freelancer working from home. Try cutting your income in half and going every day to an office to answer to a manager dumber than you. See how much you like it then.
- EC1 12y agoI hated it and I quit, this was two weeks ago and I'm actually sort of struggling for income lol. I have like two months to make this work. But simply having that option sit in the back of my head made it easy enough to go to work, because I knew that if it got bad enough I can just get up and leave.
- johnchristopher 12y agoSo in one hour you went from making stupid money to struggling for income.
- EC1 12y agoOnce this contract runs out theres no guarantee of a next one ;)
- cgag 12y agoSounds fulfilling.
- ryanSrich 12y agoI work from home too. But that doesn't mean we have the easiest job. An old saying a coach of mine had "if it was easy, everyone would do it". So if it's easy, why isn't everyone doing it? ...also, what is stupid money? $200k+? anything less than that is just called regular money.
