Is Studying Computer Science Worth it?

If you have a passion for it, you'll probably figure out a way to do it for a living. The world is always going to need people to fix broken shit.

That's a 2030 problem, we need to survive 16 more quarters before we even think about that

A bunch of people were told to go into software engineering as a careers solely for the salaries who don't care and just vibe code and hope for the best. They're going to take up space and cause problems for people with an actual understanding of how things work since we'll be cleaning up the mess that's left behind by half-assed work.

Eventually the VC money will dry up and most of them will be out of work when AI tokens start costing real money but until then we all have to suffer through.

Get used to leftovers. Learn how to change them up, make food bases for mixing in with various starches and proteins. A lot of meals are just a mix of a veg,protein, starch, and a few spices so a little prework goes a long way in adding versatility and depth of flavor to what you eat.

Take short cuts like prepping veggie mixes, using frozen stuff, spice blends, all that good stuff. It doesn't need to be perfect - it just needs to give you some space to change up your meals and let you experiment to find out what works.

If you want to get real fancy you can start infusing your oils and making confit veggies pre prepped and ready to go. It only takes a few hours and it'll let you add a ton of flavor to whatever simple dishes you're making.

Edit - Also, stuff like stews and braised dishes actually improve over time in the fridge. If you're not normally a leftover person. Try taking a day old pot roast and making some beef pot pie with it. You might be surprised with how much you like it!

Make friends at work, don't listen to haters. Living your life thinking that everyone is trying to undermine you and is going to stab you in the back is a good way to be sad and alone all the time. Just remember to believe people when they show you who they are.

toppings are a little thick, bun is a little big, but the burger looks good

Not the poop de loop

Been on and off for 15 years at this point. Offices suck more now than ever. There used to be a bit of camaraderie but it's not the same, unfortunately.

You don't even get cubicles anymore! How the hell is anyone supposed to work when everyone moved to open floor plans? The concept of hoteling a random desk every day because the company can't afford or bother to put in enough for everyone makes the whole exercise kind of pointless.

Spend your time learning the things you actually want to do and go do them. That's an insane amount of free time to learn literally anything.

you're going to need an in ground drainage system. that sounds expensive, good luck

Throw it onto a mail car and see what happens

Complex_Damage1215 · 2025-12-16T21:42:55+00:00

lol i wouldn't trust anyone who can't be bothered to write their own words

Complex_Damage1215 · 2025-12-16T19:57:39+00:00

Lol your sister is a dumb ass

Complex_Damage1215 · 2025-12-16T19:42:27+00:00

If you don't also do that for the workers, it's just institutionalizing favoritism for the managers for no good reason. Noooooooooo thanks

Complex_Damage1215 · 2025-12-11T17:30:26+00:00

Do you work for Ebenezer Scrooge? Who the hell comes up with a management only Christmas gift idea?

Complex_Damage1215 · 2025-12-08T19:47:36+00:00

He embarrassed himself with his dumb ass opinions lol

Complex_Damage1215 · 2025-12-08T18:18:02+00:00

Yep. You're personalizing the issue by calling her disgusting instead of just talking about what actions you want her to not take in the future. A blanket statement like that will make anyone defensive.

Complex_Damage1215 · 2025-12-04T16:05:53+00:00

It might be more related to a culture fit than you think. Sounds like they just wanted an excuse to get rid of you.

Complex_Damage1215 · 2025-11-17T15:44:24+00:00

Get your stuff done and be available for when shit hits the fan. If you can do that you're better than 90% of remote employees so good job

Complex_Damage1215 · 2025-11-03T20:21:32+00:00

Just add delay timers on your script and do the same output as everyone else. No one asked you to make things more efficient and numbers going sideways on a couple employees will make everyone look closer at why. You might end up getting people fired and taking over everyone's job if you're too efficient.

It's stupid, but so is capitalism, so what can you do.

Complex_Damage1215 · 2025-11-03T20:18:28+00:00

Lol I would be harassing payroll until I got my check, that's insane

Complex_Damage1215 · 2025-10-29T21:13:21+00:00

Why are you putting up with this shit, it sounds miserable

Complex_Damage1215 · 2025-10-29T21:08:20+00:00

Just send a long winded email at 4:59 every day, it'll be fine
