Meh I dont want to go for a low salary job again, feels like my time isn't worth anything. Especially not after having collected some job experience and learning 2 completely different jobs which are both becoming more and more useless

All of this involves an amount of effort im not willing to go through every few months due to corporations letting people go left and right. Once you land a job and manage to save up a little all of it will go down the drain for your next m

In my situation the next best alternative is to end it all. I wont go back to wage slavery fuck ass companies not respecting me nor my time.

I'd say its extremely company dependent and not really country dependent. Some companies have these type of talks with their employees, most I've been at do not. What's far more common is silently getting more responsibilitie

I agree and I am far from being a senior engineer. I'm only in the market since a few years and started out just before the whole LLM stuff started to pick up. So I have been grinding a lot (2nd job I've learned, am in tech since

I started to outsource thinking at my job as my company made it very clear that they do not want/cant afford thinking engineers. Thinking requires time and they want to deliver quickly. So they cater towards the very realistic deadline

You're free to do so, probably your million dollar idea right there.

That might be easy but its stuff most people dont know how to do. Its mostly a war on ad blocks.

Depends on how you work I guess. I explore solutions through coding different versions of some algorithm, sure I could theorycraft as well but I am stronger by just writing code and see if it runs. I type a lot so vim motions help me a ton.

Apps are usually built so people can't skip ads. Its the only reason to have an app. Other than esoteric reasons like "we also have an app because x,y,z also have apps".

You cant really believe any of the EU countries actually want to work together? The EU was only possible with the premise of countries keeping their autonomy. Believe me when I say that us Germans would rather go to war than merge with Fran

What people like you dont understand is what we get back from investing into foreign countries. We dont just build bicycle lanes there because we are such nice people.

It'll stop soonish. The industry is now financed by debt rather than monetary assets that actually exist. Tons of companies see zero gain from AI as its reported repeatedly here on HN. So all the LLM vendors will eventually have to ens

Competition is extremely important yes. But not the kind of competition, backed by companies that have much bigger monetary assets, to overwhelm projects based on community effort just to trample it down. The FFMPEG Google stuff as an examp

Understanding basics is very different to being able to memorize algorithms. I really dont see why I'd ever have to implement stuff like quicksort myself somewhere. Yes I know what recursion is, yes I know what quick sort is, so if I e

The company that wanted to simply get away with the thievery of terabytes of intellectual property, what a great place to work at! Not. Anthropic has no shame.

Also leetcode does not really provide insight into ones ability to design business solutions. Whether it be system design, just some small feature implementation or communication skills within a team. Its just optimizers jerking each other

Yup, while I like being invested in at work (sending me to learn new shit at conferences or stuff like that) I'd never agree with spending 10k on some tool where even the tool vendors say "use with caution, dont use this in produc
