Uncertainty and Doubt are reasons to have no Fear, though. Uncertainty and Doubt are natural, will always be here and there, so you shouldn't be afraid at all. All you can do is make up a plan and go ahead with it. No plan survives contact even with allies, of course, but Uncertainty and Doubt are just risk assessments that should go into the plan.

So, what are the chances that junior dev positions are automated by GPT-4? I can't imagine companies will be wanting to put many resources towards hiring low level devs that can be outdone by a chatbot. Is the entry level just fucked forever?

>>92182307
the entry level has already been fucked for a long time. there is no "entry level". that's boomer shit

>>92182307
As an AI language model, I don't have access to future developments and plans of the companies or the GPT-4, but based on the current state of AI and automation, it is unlikely that junior dev positions will be entirely replaced by GPT-4 or any other AI technology in the near future.

While AI has advanced significantly in recent years, it still requires a significant amount of human expertise to develop and train these models. Additionally, programming involves not only technical skills but also creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking, which are difficult to replicate with AI alone.

Moreover, junior developers often work on tasks that require a human touch, such as debugging code, writing tests, and collaborating with other developers, which would be challenging to automate completely.

That being said, AI is already being used to automate some routine tasks and improve software development processes, but this automation is typically focused on increasing efficiency and reducing human error rather than replacing human developers.

Overall, it's essential to continue to upskill and stay updated with the latest technologies and tools to remain relevant and competitive in the job market. But I wouldn't say that the entry level is "fucked forever" as there will still be a need for human developers for the foreseeable future.

This is a hypothetical, but I'm interested in seeing what I can do in helping my older brother get a nice job. He's been a help desk agent working from home for the same hospital for about I think four years now for $25 hourly, but he could definitely do better. He has an associate in Business Information Systems if I recall correctly. I want him to get a better paying job with more pay. I'll even be the one who applies all the time if that's what it takes. Anyone know some good bullet point descriptors for this type of work?

>>92183035
Link to the post? I got nothing.

>>92183216

Why aren't you using a textbook or lecture notes to study though?

No he can't. He's making $25 an hour totally WFH with an associate's degree. That's as good as it's going to get.

>>92183440
There's no way he could transition?
Bang out some side projects and upskill?

I have two offers:
>new job with ~15% pay, SIGNIFICANTLY better benefits (company car, gym membership, etc.), but not remote (30 min commute each way) and job title will be "junior", despite 1 YoE and multiple years of part time work and internships during university
>keep old job, fully remote and be promoted to a "tech lead" role for the web dev department
I honestly can't decide.
Of course, more money would be neat, but honestly I kind of don't need it.
What's the better play for my future resume?
Staying at one company for long (I've only ever worked at my current employer) or diversifying it?

This (presumably) early early on in your career I'd be inclined to stick with your current role, assuming you are progressing and they're letting you progress, which it sounds like they are. That feels like the better longer play to me. If you're getting great offers as a junior my impression is you'd get even better offers in a few years with some more experience and a lead title under your belt.

They're always tapping on their screens,
Their keyboards clicking like machines,
Their minds consumed by codes and apps,
Their workday never seems to lapse.

Chorus:
Annoying tech workers,
Obsessed with their jobs,
Always talking shop,
Never taking a pause.

Verse 2:
They talk in jargon we can't understand,
Their conversations always in command,
They think they're changing the world,
While we're left feeling unfurled.

Chorus:
Annoying tech workers,
Obsessed with their jobs,
Always talking shop,
Never taking a pause.

Bridge:
They live in a world of bits and bytes,
Where work and life are blurred in sight,
They forget to enjoy the simple things,
While we feel the tug of their strings.

Chorus:
Annoying tech workers,
Obsessed with their jobs,
Always talking shop,
Never taking a pause.

Verse 3:
Their social skills are out of date,
They forget to communicate,
Their eyes glued to their screens,
As if nothing else exists or means.

Chorus:
Annoying tech workers,
Obsessed with their jobs,
Always talking shop,
Never taking a pause.

Outro:
We wish they'd take a break,
And appreciate the world around them,
Disconnect from their tech,
And realize what they're missing.>>92181747

I'm constantly bombarded with deadlines, bugs, and never-ending projects that seem to have no end. The pressure to keep up with the latest technologies and trends is exhausting, and the work-life balance is almost non-existent. I can barely find time for myself, let alone my loved ones.

In my uni, after the 5th semester you'll go into internship for 6th and 7th semester.
Either you go 6 months x 2 internship or 1 x 12 months internship

I prepped some web projects alongside my web programming class throughout the 5th semester, making some stuff in laravel hoping i could get a webdev internship. Every student needs to land an internship before February, or the uni will place you randomly with associated companies.

Because i couldn't land any, a staff took pity on me and say I'd be working as an appdev in this national bank. I was like "k sure but what will i do there? What framework? Language?" But they never tell.

Last Monday, I walked to the office to start the internship. Site supervisor told me I'd be working in the QA team as a part of "Strategy Division". Told my uni about this and they say "idk lol just suck it up, you'll get another internship in september for your 7th semester."

I'm trying my best to pretend to like testing mobile apps and reading spreadsheets and screenshoting every step to put on a word document, but i swear to God if i can't even land a webdev job because of this. I can't make time to learn webdev on the side since commuting take 4 hours everyday and i still have this algorithm class on Saturday. I spend my weekends practicing for that class, because there's a quiz every week.

God help me.

personally, I agree it's better than some of its counterparts like psql. mainly because it doesn't try to do none of that OO bullshit, but also because it doesn't require you to pollute your function space with trigger functions, which you can declare directly in the trigger statement.
also the db lacks any sort of ERD or documentation. quite bad considering it's 30+ year old

I just found out one of my coworkers with 2 yoe is paid 160k. I got hired as a new grad on 85k but frankly I'm a little upset as I've learned very quickly and now contribute much more than he does.
Ive been here for 6 months now and they just bumped me up to 100k. Should I have demanded more? I am already more skilled than he is. My tickets are more complicated and I get them done faster and rarely have bugs come back.

I think they know I probably wont get offered more than 100k anywhere else while only having 6moe but the fact of the matter is that I do more for them than he does.

I know it sounds like a larp to be claiming im better than anyone with 6 moe but I typically work 10 hours a day and most weekends because I actually really like my job and want to get good, I'd overemploy but I feel like that would be a bad idea as a junior

Those don't work.
>networking
lol, lmao even
>after internships
Doesn't mean anything. Every jamal and cletus gets internships, and what you do in those internships is 100% up to luck. For example I did 2 research internships where I did genuine research as an undergrad because the student that was supposed to be in charge of me didn't bother ever actually contacting me, so I got some other student to basically mentor me. My work ended up being published in a high-impact competition at the time that led to a paper in a workshop that now has thousands of citations.
However, another student at the same time quit his first internship halfway through because he was made to do stupid grunt work the whole time (namely wrap datasets in a consistent API) and was not allowed to learn anything about the domain at all.
Thankfully, everyone knows how luck-based this is around here.
> top unis
Lol, lmao even. All the best people come from no-name unis. I'm not kidding. There are exceptions to the rule (we got one guy from MIT and another from CMU who are really good, but they're not the best either) of course, but the rule is that people who went to top unis have an overinflated ego and an underinflated curiosity and propensity to do research, typically because they got where they are by focusing too hard on useless things like muh grades instead of important things like fostering actual interests in a domain or performing good research. Another problem is that at good unis, the entire pipeline is maxed for results. This means they never had issues where it was near-impossible for them to publish because they were from an unknown school from a small lab that has no publication experience at top journals. Instead they just followed the "publication assembly line" and 90% of modern peer review is "is this guy in a lab I recognize?".

Is anyone else content with just being an average developer, making (relative to other SWEs) average money? I make enough to live comfortably, and I don't have to stress out too much.

>>92188459
>or seeing their previous work.
Yes, this is king. The problem is that it's surprisingly easy to bullshit. Due to publish or perish culture, it's very common for anything from labs as a whole to the person themselves to just steal other people's work and be done with it. In addition, this is a very tall order when you're trying to hire people who just got a master's. It's hard enough with just the PhD as is. Once again we understand just how luck-based grad school is (as opposed to skills-based). Then again, all researchy things have an important luck component.
The principal skills that a good worker in r&d needs are perseverance, rigor, and scientific thinking. You can't really ask for more (the "X factor" is having a knack for telling what will or will not work, but this can be developed through experience, and nobody really knows how to detect this quality in people in advance), but those are hard to test for. Anyone can regurgitate "observation hypothesis experiment analysis conclusion" on-the-spot, but doing it in practice under work condition is another thing.

At how many years of experience do system design interviews become prevalent? I'm 5 years in and I'm hitting the job market soon, which I'm not super excited about. Does anyone have any good interview prep links that isn't in the OP? My Leetcode experience is nonexistent, so I might brush up on a DS&A book.

Enjoy your final day of rest buckos. Back to the ratrace tomorrow.

>>92188472
I'd be content with that. I don't enjoy programming enough to deal with a stressful workload. As it currently stands, however, I'll take whatever I can get. Being self taught and looking for your first job right now is tough.

A+ help desk here, I have a lot of downtime at work and want a side gig. What's something I can do to make extra money? Pc repair in my neighborhood? Sell shit from work? Lean web development (I did take a summer course in web development 2 years ago and can make templates). I have access to the Adobe suite through work.

>>92188647
I have never heard of someone without a degree getting a tech job in the past 10 years.
When I worked at microsoft, during onboarding we were shilled that microsoft only cares about ability, not degree. I was curious because I thought that was really cool (you absolutely don't need a degree to program, I was self-taught, too, and learned nothing at all in school), so I pulled up the org chart. I found only 2 people who didn't have a degree, and both had been at microsoft for almost 20 years.

>>92188838
Nah, it's more than that. Whom do you think productize the research? Certainly not researchers in normal circumstances, but that means having to communicate with who's in charge of this. On the other hand, when it's a startup the teams and their duties are mixed. Once again the engineers I work with tend to be excellent but that doesn't mean we don't have stereotypical pajeets now and then.

>>92188911
Also there's 0 reason why someone with just a bachelor's or even no degree at all couldn't do research. It's really just about attitude and experience. The requirement for higher degrees is just as much credentialism as requiring a bachelor's for any normal swe role.

Is this normal for someone with minimal experience with these types of questions, or am I just retarded? I know this shit doesn't translate into real life, applicable work experience, but is the inverse true? Should I inherently know how to solve these questions just on the basis of me working as a software dev for a few years, or is it a learned skill?

Anybody have publications that mention intrusive thoughts from 1900-1980 or where to look for them? Or sources that mention the specific publication instead of generally referring to an author saying something about it.

Also mentions of intrusive images are preferred The earliest I found with a quick search was from 1978.

>>92189285
it's a learned skill that goes away without practice

Some of the Blind 75 easy questions were easy at face value, granted I didn't spend too much time on them. How would you anons recommend I prep and brush up for coding assessments? Is it worth reading through a data structures/algorithm book, or is there a better use of my time?

>>92189462
A good trick to find information about a topic you're not familiar with is to look for review papers. While publications in nature are usually below mediocre, nature reviews are consistently top-tier and a great first stop if there is something relevant there, even today. Review papers shouldn't be trusted to be unbiased, however they're a goldmine for starting a deep dig into the topic because of the wealth of citations they provide, and because they introduce the vocabulary and ideas you need to formulate more specialized searches.

>>92189516
>Is it worth reading through a data structures/algorithm book
Since you're having trouble with easys, absolutely. If not, then just doing the neetcode or blind75, looking up a few solutions, and then doing more exercises for topics you find that you're kinda weak, are better use of your time.

Salaries are fucking plummeting bros. From the jobs I've been looking at, it's probably down like 30% from 15 months ago.

Frankly I don't understand why people are so fixated on the dangers to the tech sector when the entire global economy since 08 has been in a continuous pump made up by printing a bunch of cash and giving it to various banks which then gave the money to companies for cheap. The tech sector was only the biggest who made the profit, but not the only one.
Comparing the amount of new jobs that were opened during rona to what's being closed now, I think it's really not as bad as it could've been.
Everyone focusing on these huge companies ignoring that some like Meta have poured billions into the Metaverse which turned out to be complete duds.

That's the thing: the best time to look into a domain is when two conditions are met. 1: it is being neglected, and 2: everything else is more attractive/doing well. In these conditions, it is easy to find a job, applications are not as competitive, and the work is better because your colleagues are less competitive/trying to fuck you over.
When everything shits the bed, you have all kinds of retards who think like you, fucking up the situation even more at all levels (far more competitive interviews, far more noxious work environments). When ML is a fad (like right now), the same applies. Now you're dealing with the worst case scenario to try to get into data anything.

>>92190641
Beside >>92190693 there's also the problem that you've only seen one side of the absolute state of tech jobs. How would any tech be made if everyone was working like this? In fact, 90% are as you portray, but the remaining 10% have to shoulder the responsibility of 100% of the company. They work crazy hours doing partly menial but partly intellectually demanding work.

>>92190839

Man, I don't know what the fuck everyone here is on about, I'm in web/mobile development and there's work out the ass and I'm sure as shit not working just a few hours a day. Even if I had 0 distractions at work, 8 hours a day to get everything done that I'd like to do would be a bit short.

I'm not saying programmers are geniuses, I'm saying most people can't program for shit. Yes, some manage to "grift" their way through but they either stay coding garbage for the same company forever or just quit the industry at some point. Recessions tend to weed grifters out.

Anyone here do cloud architecture work? How does one segue into that from web dev?

>>92191696
Yeah, in that case you're better off staying at least until year 3 in my opinion.
Another option is to position yourself into a place where you don't have to do much work at all, so you still get paid but you have the time to work on your own stuff. It's optimal if you can do that since you don't have to wait until you hit X years before expending more time on your personal projects, and you get to keep your pay.

I really should start applying.

I started learning programming 3 months ago. cs50 and some python tutorials on the side.
I have a job offer as a junior dev. I probably was able to get it because of some cyber security non-technical shit I've done in my current non-coding job that is somewhat related to the new job, but the responsibilities of the new job will be totally new to me.
I feel like I am still really new to this field but honestly with the ease of looking up how to do stuff and now AI being able to help me learn I feel like I should be able to hack it even if I have to learn almost everything on the spot.
What do you guys think? Wait until I become a better programmer or just take the job and fake it to make it?

>>92182385
I'm genuinely curious how the bridge between junior and senior dev is going to be crossed now. Junior engineers were already a negative cost that basically only FAANG had, most startups only hire senior because they can't afford the lost productivity. Now that gap is even bigger because GPT-4 can do the basic shit a junior dev would handle while learning, you'd need to have like 3 years experience right now to be worth it.

government is going to have to sponsor apprenticeship type shit or people will be doing indentured servant or unpaid intern type shit for years to get a spot. Companies are so short sighted that it wouldn't surprise me to see a massive shortage of engineers eventually due to this, unless AI really does become AGI and replace all software engineers

>>92191597
really not a red flag unless you have like 3+ jobs straight with less than 1 year. Just make it a positive by saying you got offered more responsibilities at the new company and that you want to stay longer if you are allowed to grow/learn, people eat that shit up in interviews

>>92191874
Lolno. Just the opposite. I've never seen a well-funded startup hire seniors at all. Even the CTO is typically dropping out of college or a fresh grad. I worked at several startups. The first one I worked at was a unicorn and that was when I was fresh. I only stayed there about 4 months before they were acquired by a FAGMAN. Next startup was even easier to join because I had unicorn experience. They barely even bothered interviewing me. It was funded with a dozen million or so. Ultimately it went under. Next one was very early stage. Had to do their finance for them even though I was hired for tech. Made it to 1b valuation by the time I left. Current one I'm working at is another well-funded startup. Once again we basically only have fresh grads as hires.

>>92191905
they're not going to wait for you to get better and then hire you after you "get better"
assuming you didn't lie about how much you know, then they are already hiring you with the expectation that they're going to have to train you on the job

most people don't actively try to improve and if nobody puts pressure on them they won't improve. 15 years experience vs 1 year experience 15 times, this is a common thing. IQ is also a factor, some people just hit a wall in terms of the complexity they can handle

i'm a junior dev with 2 YOE and i feel like i've reached my limit
somehow i have been wrong about every aspect of my codebase.
i don't think i've made a single correct decision my 2 years here lmao

>>92192227
have you ever tried to teach somebody with average or below average IQ how to code? I've offered to people who asked in the past and many of them simply can't do recursion, others even get mind fucked by nested loops, async stuff is also hard for them

>oversaturated as fuck.
Lolno. Nobody is doing (real) bioinformatics. The real problem is that nearly all """bioinformatics""" roles are just biology roles where you take the data you generated in the wetlab experiments you ran and then put them through established pipelines, not actual bioinformatics roles where you build new bioinformatics tools. If you look at most bioinformatics job descriptions, you'll see they want someone who's an expert at (wet-lab) biology AND an expert at computer science at the same time, and are willing to pay you a whopping 50k for this skillset when your local software sweatshop is 80k minimum.
In addition, while there is significant interest in using machine learning for bioinformatics, nobody who's looking to hire for those roles actually knows what any of that means.
Overall, I wish you excellent luck for your search because we need far, far more of people like you throughout bioinformatics.

I'm "maintaining" a system where every "module" is just a method with hundreds or thousands LOCs inside a class. Some of the logic is nested 10+ levels deep. The guy who wrote it is a boomer.

cause you expect them to get it at once, over time with decent attempte the ball may begin rolling but ofc they won't measure up to people who are actually cut out for the job

I am senior level.

Boss keeps getting on me for "just" doing what's asked of me.
All of my targets get done without fuss.
I attend all my meetings, I am friendly, I tell jokes, I smile, I communicate.
I'm pretty decent at smalltalk and being sociable.

But I'm a retard so I dont really lead or speak up much in any design meetings or make major suggestions.
I've been attempting to add my two cents, but haven't been really successful because I just dont fuckin care.
I dont care what architecture we use.
I dont care what coding standards we have.
I dont care about what fucking language I have to write it in.
I dont fuckin care about design. I am a gun. Point me at an issue or project and fire.

I am senior level.
I do everything asked of me, and that's not enough.
I get it. They want more from me.
But I dont live to program or work.
I'm not going to do the Walmart wagie dance.
I'm not going to pretend I find it super-interesting talking for hours about version control.

What do i do? Are they just trying to scare me?
Anybody else been in this position?

I just wanna do my work, and disappear when that clock hits 5.

If being good at your job gets you promoted. Then you stop getting promoted when you become incompetent.
So, people are promoted to the point of incompetence.

Try to move to a different job. How long have you been in this position? You should specifically aim to stay in your current position only long enough for people to not be able to complain, and to leave as soon as possible beyond that. This is the absolute state of the modern tech workplace.

Has anyone ever worked on implementing multiple features basically a toggle on and off interface into a repository a completely different team owns?

I'm starting to think that there is no way in hell a 2 week sprint is enough to even be able to develop, update tests, do integration and merge the code. Even the implementation can get rejected.

You don't need tests or compiler warnings if you write the code right the first time around. That's a protip. You're just not good enough to understand it.
Same basic idea with documentation. Good code is self-documenting.
Flat functions are optimal. Highly indirect calls are not only slow as balls, they're also impossible to debug.
Unused variables and code everywhere is a good things, they foster job security. Only a pro can use this technique successfully.

I rewrote 100% of his code base in a little over a month. Clearly he's an amateur.

>>92192769
Documentation is for fools that can’t write concise code. OOP programmers tend to do put online stuff into a function for no good reason. Tests have arguable value. I used vars and deadcode leaves tasks for jannies like you to clean up :^)

Basically every Haskell codebase I’ve worked on has been self documenting.

Depends on where you work. If you do cleared work at Microsoft or AWS you're getting big tech salaries. If you work a Lockheed, you're probably getting paid like shit. If you find yourself with shit pay, take the clearance and then either

Everyone does in the real world, not just here. Beside, job titles literally don't mean anything unlike what this moron is saying, they're completely arbitrary and nobody cares what you put in the job title on your resume. It's just an indicator of your work duties. If you're officially helpdesk but in truth you did webdev the whole time and you put in your resume that you were "jr. web developer" then nobody gives a shit.
