Programming is a terrible profession. For one, you are not respected at a larger non-tech company. You're known as 'IT'. Every day, some Alpha who probably does nothing at his job tells you to do shit, and then yells at you when it's not done by the deadline despite it being impossible to complete the work requested. Not only that, the code rarely works, your co-workers are smelly poo in the loo's, and the work never ends. It's like a Postal worker, but coupled with feelings of patheticness, lonliness, helplessness, rage and total hopelessness.
After Dentists, programmers have the highest rates of mental disorders, especially depression and suicide.
Women, when they hear you are a programmer, instantly remove you from the potential pool of mates as they know your earning potential is maxed early and your career over at 35. It's also highly embarrassing for a woman to date or be married to a programmer, as virtually everyone knows they are the grown up version of the hopeless virgin in high school. One who never really grew up and became normal and fit into society, but rather found an environment where he could escape the reality of his situation and be invisible, able to hide the shame, scorn and humiliation that is the programmer.
Kill yourself.

As a software engineer I find that my choice of profession is a real stumbling block when it comes to trying to ask a girl out on date. Usually the obvious question of “What do you do for a living?” comes up when I am trying to chat a girl up and I of course answer that I am software engineer. That is when I usually find the conversation takes a turn and all her body language and actions will say “I have no interested you now”.
>I have found that I usually get a much more positive response if I say I am unemployed and sitting on the dole. Personally it is quite hurtful to know that you stand a better chance of getting a date by lying and degrading yourself by pretending to be an unemployable bum rather than a highly educated professional.

I don't know why you're so upset. I work as a freelance full-stack webdev and it's a pretty comfy job where I got to jump around to doing graphic design to backend architectures, on top of dealing with my own clients and elaborating projects which is always exciting.

Logan Jackson
Programming is a great way to make a great amount of money. If you sit as a programmer your whole life and don't move up the chains it's because you're socially retarded and don't know how to manage people.
The reason why so many socially inept people like CS is because you don't have to interact with people much if you don't want to.
Ayden Johnson
You've complained about "programmers" and "programming" several times in your post so at the very least learn how to double-check the garbage you vomit out of your retarded hanging slack-jawed mouth, you massive faggot.
Evan Russell
Are you jealous of Network Engineers?
Camden James
I'd say given the way the industry is heading, going down that path won't be doable for you. C++ probably would be it though since big corps all go java and these new mobile languages now.

Hey leafbro, Benefit of the doubt. Programming sucks, it's like being a corporate plumber.
Teach yourself some business and/or accounting. Getting a piece of univeristy paper helps. You'll be a literal god when they hear that you know how to use Excel.
What no one says is computers is one of the only professions where getting experience gets you nowhere. 20 years as a doctor, wow, teach us. 20 years as a coder, Fortran huh?
Tldr. You're right, so move on.
Caleb Scott
it does not matter what profession you have if you are autistic crybaby. I am working in software development and I have never felt any negative feedback from women because of that. Your description however fits perfectly on beta males, so maybe that is your problem.
Cameron Stewart
I don't get some of you guys on here. I feel like some of you guys who call programming, stem, nursing, etc shit probably went through the program and worked for some asshole employer and decided the whole field is shit. There's more to careers than just one job. You aren't going to find a job where you aren't being yelled at by some kike wanting to bank money off of you. There's no easy way to making shit ton of money and not doing any work.

I work in algorithmic trading for a bulge bracket investment bank. We get just as much respect as the old school traders, we understand a lot more about what they do than what they do about us.
In 20 years though I see development just being seen as a trade like plumbing or carpentry, a lot more people which will push salaries down. If you want a job for life, go into law.

Problem is software developers are not respected in Canada. Join a company that actually is centered around tech. You won't even need to work past 35 if you get enough stock benefits.
Connor Lee
How come you'll become trash after 35?
Adrian Allen
>After Dentists, programmers have the highest rates of mental disorders, especially depression and suicide.
Redpill me on Dentists. Are they /ourguys/?
Aiden Stewart
This doesn't change the "career earning potential maxed out at 35" thing though.
If you go into any traditional job like accountant, law, consulting, medicine, or sales or marketing or hr at any big company, your earnings will still be increasing into your 40s as you manage and are in charge of more and more people.
But as a software engineer that doesn't happen nearly as much.

it is true. Infrastructure hero reporting in. I fix all programmers shit code by debugging it because they blame the OS and infrastructure as the problem.
"Mean time before innocence" is about 15 minutes.
I find your fucking problem in the hdmp in about 3 minutes. (fuck your dumb faggot java ass)
Then for the next 10 minutes I make fun of your stupid fucking dumb ass with the other infrastructure heros as we carve out new luns on the 90 million dollar storage system, execute preventative maintenance, and close some other faggot's incident ticket who said it was your fault also.
Then for the next 2 minutes I send an email to you, your manager, my manager, and politely ask you if there is anything else we can do to help you.
Then I go back to improving resilliency on everyone elses "single point of FAGGOT" and file reccomendations on application architecture becuase you fucking idiot developers can't write a god fucking damnit stateless application to save your mothers gauged asshole from when you were born [from it].
