@Hazarth true that

Java : A girl who is decent at her job but has a very bad memory. Living with her may seem more effort than required. You stay with her because she is the only one your parents aproove of.

Haskel: New girl on the block. Few people know her but everybody pretends to understand her. Only replies in one liners and can manage a lot of people at the same time.

PHP: An old fashioned chick who was at the top of her game in the past decade, but has now been surpassed by flashy millenials

HTML: 2 female monkeys standing on top of each other in a coat trying to pass on as a woman

@aviophile holy hell, i agree the post is poorly structured. The point is not in giving the rtx to their employees. You know what, This argument has gone long enough and in a direction i did not expect. I really domt care anymore

@theKarlisK is got nothing to do with need. You don't really need aferrari or 50 lambos or a yatch. But people buy it right ? Is it a bad thing ? No. People like to have them so they buy them. But comparing a programmer buying an rtx to a rich buying a prosche is not the same. You cannot say two products fall into the same category even though almost everything about them is totally different.

If you dont like the gtx point level woth me on thw phone thing. People do buy a mew one every year even if the old one was perfevtly fine( i have friends who cant afford the stuff so they save for upto 2-3 months). They dont need it roght ? But theyy buy it anyway. Its their choice. Its their vice. Its their guilty pleasure. Call it whatever you want its not wrong to do it or to want to do it. Same goes for the gtx. Similar prices, similar target audience.

@theKarlisK what other purpose does a uatch procide other than luxury and lesirue ? Because I thought the rich buy it for exactly that.

@theKarlisK ??? Dude you habe gone all haywire. I am not saying buying a ferrari is worse or the gaming card is absolutely needed. Yatch and ferrari is an unfair comparison because they are for the elite and the rich only. So I compared the gtx to an iphone which ha s a similar price and target audience. Fair game same ground.

@Demolishun lol

@SortOfTested Infosys is a company which is considered one of the worst in IT here. Not a single computer science student from a good college goes there. As i was saying in my previous comments they generally hirr mechanical, civil, electrical students who have never written any code. They are what we call bulk companies since they hire anywhere between 50-100 people from a single college. There is a running joke in colleges that these companies bring a lorry, shove all the students in like cattle and drive away. They treat their employees like shit.

@electrineer you can actually build a small nuclear reactor in your backyard. A teenager had done it.

@Fast-Nop That is the sad truth

@Fast-Nop true in most cases but not for start ups. While big companies dont pay startups here pay to get their work done. And they are in ambudance right now. Jnr devs get paid almost 2 or 3 times more where as in some.plaves snr devs have comparable income to that of an engg in the usa.

@Fast-Nop btw, some of people working for < 5lpa in IT aren't even computer science engg. Some of them belong to mechanical or even civil engineering :p.

@Fast-Nop continuing, of course the net benefit is poor. Ask your company to offer a little more money to engineers (still.far less than what they might pay at your place) if they really want their money's worth.

@Fast-Nop How low do you think it goes?
The range is anywhere between 4lakhs(5437$) - 60 lakhs (81562$) per anumn. The max being for engf on a very senior post. Companies which outsource, pay around 6-7 lakhs per anumn to engg with 2-3 yrs of experience. Now the thing to know is no good software engg in India will work for that pathetic amount. So companies go around hiring people who do not even know how to a write a for loop. ( I have posted another rant for this too). Thus the problem of quality arises when you try to give an engg of that level a project well above their pay garde.

All top engg in india work for no less than 20 lakhs pa. If they join a company which pays less intially they switch within an year. There have been cases where people hop within months. If you look at some of the people working in indian startups, you will find them to be one of the best in the industry.

@theKarlisK Again not my point. True its not necessary. True, its not meeded. What I am talking about is the choice that you can have. Why do people buy a better car than theei previous ones ? Not really needed if your old one works right ? Why do people buy a new phone almost every other year ? Everyone have their own desires. Its not like SDEs are poor everywhere and cannot enjoy having a choice in something that is maybe an unworthy expense.

Anyway, its not like wanting a yatch. Its actually like wanting iphone 12 when your iphone 11 works perfectly fine. Both are for personal use. Both are of the same price range and people do exist who buy phones year after year.

@theKarlisK there is a difference there. Rockets are not built for personal use.
Ferraris are exclusive for the select rich.

Gaming is not exclusively for the rich. Almost every game requires a high end graphic card which increases in cost with time as expected.

Regarding your underpaid remark: An SDE in the US can afford an rtx 3080 but one in India can't. No where in the world can anyone afford a fucking rocket.

Not really my point and yours is a rather extreme example @aviophile

Try haskell. Yoy will hate loving it

I want to live until the time comes when robots can code. It will be fun to see robots burning themselves to ashes when they just can't resolve an error of an API after going through 20000 pages of its documentation and 1000000 pages of stackoverflow.

Not much of a trade secret but a coping mechanism

In my personal experience a little exercise (running in my case) helps me getting my mind off work and preventing a burnout.

For motivation I have tried some uplifting sound with little effect.

@IntrusionCM yeah regex solves just one prob.

There, there. You have my sympathies.

Holy helll!!! Its like a bomb which can go off.at any time.

I clean it up every 5-6 months. Cleaned it recently, still looks like a dump

@TedTrippin once you are used dart or kotlin, java code feels too bulky and long. Remember there is no performance compromise for kotlin at least.

@yowhatthefuck Love kotlin: same speed half the code.

Lolllll

Fucking beggar

@Demolishun Love for func progs
