Guys I'm sorry, I'm the one who posted that techies are poison to humanity. Actually, I just hate myself, and I am a 'techie' I suppose. The world is what we make of it and I'm the one who sometimes spreads poison because I have issues. On behalf of commenters to this post, fuck me. I'll try to be better.
I work in video games. Our job is to make our game as addictive as possible so that we can make the most money out of micro-transactions. (Think mobile phone games) A lot of our game design is by marketing telling us what people will most likely buy in the game by watching data. Sure, it starts free-to-play, but to keep you playing and paying we mine data to make it more "sticky."
After a while I felt like I was working for a drug dealer and quit recommending our games to people I knew. Sure, people have fun playing the games we make, but I don't want to hear later about how much money you or your kids wasted on it.
I feel for paying a hooker because I am lazy to create a tinder account and I have no patience to find a girl on the street.

Nothing says "smart and interesting" like an obscure t-shirt or sticker.
I typed in a text file "I hate my colleagues" and I was going to paste it in codingconfesional but my accident I pasted it in a commit message and I pushed it. Now I am afraid I will be fired on monday :_((
I'm doing a good job for first time, after 6 yrs in the business.
I wake up happy and I go to work and I enjoy what I do. I think this is only because I am for first time being paid what I think I deserve.
I have failed in so many ways in life. Saying that makes me feel better.
Dear techies. You are poison to humanity. I hope your life ends horribly.
coding is bullshit. just grunt work for some cunts to make shit tons of money while your vertebrae crumbles like dust over the course of the years.
I left uni. Got graduate job. Quit after 4 years to do a startup. That was 8 years ago. None of my startups have made it. I look at my ex colleagues. All VPS, Directors, Senior VPs now.
you motherfucking city dwelling cocksuckers with your apple laptops, skinny jeans and converse can suck my fucking bellend. what kind of generation is this? cant fix a fucking door handle, cant make a decent sandwich... fuck right off.
i have no kids and no mortgage, no possessions and no debt. but i'm pushing 30 and feel like i should have achieved more than i have, which is essentially nothing.
what do i do with my life?
Im farting a lot today... the hindus and chinese around me like it, reminds them of spice and stuff. I just go quiet and dont say anything about the smell ...
Today our "Scrum master" asked as to write the sub tasks. She is so stupid and has no idea what programming is, she didn't write a single line of code once. All she do is watching videos on YouTube while we make her job and she is getting paid so much more than us. I fucking hate her.
i know object oriented programming is the way to do things, i understand the principles of code reusability, maintainability, etc.
but i still prefer procedural. it's just easier and gets the job done the same.
i should stop smoking so i can find a new job but i am a lazy person.
His name was Robert Paulson. His name was Robert Paulson. His name...
Every single day I use shitty software that doesn't work worth a damn, throws errors, makes little sense as far as logical process flow, gives false positive feedback, etc. Registration and scheduling for dental appointments, rental applications, requesting quotes for any variety of services. I never considered myself a genius developer or anything but motherfucker what the hell is going on.
Need to jot some notes down? There's an app for that!
Need to track your calories? There's an app for that!
Need to keep track of your twitter, facebook and tinder? There's an app for that!
Need to get rid of this overwhelming paralysing fear of people? There's no app for that.
Need to stop having panic attacks? There's no app for that.
Need to learn to love oneself? There's no app for that.
I love the idea of freelance. I realize it's not all roses but the idea of being free from some cunt breathing down your neck in a soul destroying pattern of repetition as they wear you down and wear you down until you crack or come to the realization that your necktie is a symbolism for a corporate noose.
But freelancing sucks major balls. Getting clients in a pain in the ass, speaking to people about their mundane stupid problems, chasing them for money that they won't pay because they know you're just one person..
Nobody takes freelancers seriously. Banks say good morning sir.. now get the fuck out
I'm too lazy to learn design patterns, legacy techniques, and follow and data structure and algorithm lesson. I prefer to do stuff and follow good coding practice first.
I confess I'm addicted to this site. Is there a sinilar forum where we can bitch and have longer discussions?
