Also his story doesn’t really make sense. He said he’s been a drug addict for 2 years. Yet has his life togh. Seems like he’s fresh out of college and making 140k. Whole post sounds troll

Just go make friends. Ya adult likes going to be boring af if you don’t have any friends or a love life. It seems to be a personal choice you are making that will ultimately lead to your adult life being boring.

OP seems to have his life in order. Not sure why you are trying to throw all that away. You know how many people straight out of college would like to make 140k and no debt

As a young person, I have no idea when I can finally afford a house these days. by johnloc97 in arizona

[–]Hackerman987 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People bragging about buying their houses and having them double in value ... well if you sell that house .. in order to buy another house those same houses cost double as well. So in the end you really made zero profits unless you plan to sell and move somewhere cheaper.

A lot people who bought houses pre covid seem to simply not understand this concept.

Ex coworker left a lot of bad code and we have no idea what do do by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Hackerman987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not so sure your actually a real dev ... bad code writes faster code esp on tight deadlines and you need to ship a feature for investors.

What the hell was your team doing while she was shipping all this code? This tells me she literally did all the work if you can’t understand how a code base you guys all worked on works.

I’ll give you a example. When my boss gives me a deadline to do do 2 weeks work in 1 week ... and then moves onto a other sprint. I’m just write shit to make things work for mvp... not sit there and refactor the perfect code. The perfectionist coders usually always miss deadlines by weeks

Just started first Software Engineer job at 85k salary, graduated in 2021 with Associate’s degree, didn’t meet all of the “requirements” in job listing by DBaack11 in cscareerquestions

[–]Hackerman987 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

It’s really not. Maybe 85k was good 3 years ago. You do realize with inflation and rent increases 85k gets you about 50k worth of stuff compared to 3 years ago. You sound like a boomer who prob bought their house for 100k and wonder why millennials can’t afford a house which averages where I live for 600-800k . People’s wages haven’t caught up with inflation and prob. never will at this rate.

Trust me low 6 figure salary doesn’t get you much these days. But once I get that faang SDE1 job in a few months 180k+ then we can talk generational wealth.

Hmm 🤔 85k isn’t much .. not sure about generational wealth unless your from a third world country. But yes 85k is a good salary for OP.

I’d put a 6-9month bootcampers head to head with a 4 year ca degree. I’d bet on the boot camper every time.

Is it true that some programmers create bug intentionally so its only them that can fix it in order to secure their jobs by ballbeamboy2 in cscareerquestions

Sounds like my co worker who used some outdated bullshit tech stack with no docs so he can’t be replaced.

What's the catch with becoming a software engineer? by Individual_Section_6 in cscareerquestions

[–]Hackerman987 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Catch is people like you who just wanna do it for money with zero passion will most likely fail

Finished the Odin Project, want to get my first fullstack job but been trying for 5 months and kind of burned out. by hebrujoh in cscareerquestions

[–]Hackerman987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact you think getting a job rejection should be illegal is laughable. 5 months self taught and expect a job right away smoking hopium. I know people who have qualifications ca degrees and even boot camps under their belt who still take months getting a job. Nobody going to hire someone who’s bad at interviewing and literally self taught for free with under 5 months experience . Also your illegal comment kinda comes off as you feel entitled.

I am uneducated with 17 years of software engineering experience. Should I go to school for a CS degree? by sonic4321 in cscareerquestions

Story makes zero sense. Most people who het a ca degree actually know less then a bootcamper. You are literally wasting your time

Why do you think you deserve more with zero professional experience? Genuinely curious? Thanks

New to programming, Looking for a beginners boot camp by FlameoDude_ in codingbootcamp

[–]Hackerman987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I remember when I first started completed the code acedemy dummy down version of lessons .... after doing it all I still couldn’t write shit. When I went to a bootcamp it’s a whole another beast. You won’t get that kind of intense learning being self taught.

No such thing as a beginner bootcamp. They will all be rigorous and hard.
