This ride has to end eventually... right? Right?
Landon Kelly
Does this shit even exist outside of silicon valley?
Nathan Jones
Unfortunately, yes. I don't even live in the US.
Evan Peterson
Dot com bubble 2.0 when?
Leo Jenkins
>hackathon about helping refugees Yeah you're probably from some cuck Euro country, don't be too surprised.
Christian Gonzalez
we can only dream
Austin Cooper
The bubble will simply bring upon communism in which bitcoin is the language everyone understands.
Enjoy!
Parker Clark
Leave the city, move to smaller more rural locations, make real worthwhile friendships, find a genuine partner, raise a healthy family.
The only excuse to live close enough to spit on your neighbor's wall from your kitchen is because you're saving for a house. Anything else is cuckoldry
Colton Watson
I was watching EmberConf today and I turned it off when a female speaker came on.
Elijah Jackson
>studying CS in Nordic country >95% of whole math&cs dept is male >everyone is 50+ apart from the students >most courses can be taken online, comfy af >so much math
>no visible startups >only think tanks and established hardware brands are directly involved
>all extracurricular activities involve getting wasted on alcohol&drugs >political incorrectness is the norm >another dept complained when we had a "ash&jewish affairs director" on some student board
All the math classes I've taken are chill as fuck. no ego, no social hierarchy, no women, no startup nonsense
Oliver Bell
yes yes yest to everything you said
Gabriel Harris
No. But perhaps I went somewhere that wasn't retarded. I believe I'm one of the few who truly misses academia because it was so good.
Oliver Morgan
It's hard to do all these things when IT jobs are almost always going to be in the city.
but I can dream.
Jace Morris
This sounds like absolute aids. Does this shit exist in other tech related STEM? I'm thinking of doing applies sciences like EE but if this shit is even in the engineering departments maybe I will go against my families advice and just do physics. I already self-teach programming and engineering with MIT's opencourseware and "free" texts books. What do you think Sup Forums?
Luis Gonzalez
applied*
Christian Hill
Engineering is still prone to these problems, though maybe not quite as bad.
But if you do EE or CompE you'll likely just end up working with CS people anyway.
Josiah Gutierrez
Engineering is full of normies.
Matthew Howard
they're going to get good jobs and you're going to work for some piece of shit corporation that doesn't care about you and makes you work 80 hour weeks
if you get past 40 without killing yourself you'll probably realize how wrong you were by then
Nolan Ross
Is that what you say to yourself between your "consent" classes and "how to make STEM a safe place for women" course?
Jacob Edwards
any upper-level class in a decent uni has absolutely none of those.
Jordan Hughes
Welcome to the it meme lad. It's all par for the course
Samuel Ward
>working for shitty buzzfeed open-office startups that target milennials and disguise their predatory business tactics with beanbags and free pizza
that doesn't sound that bad tbqhphamalam
Ryan Gray
>DUDE MACHINE LEARNING LMAO fuck off, im calling it right now that machine learning is the future.
i agree with everything else
Nicholas Roberts
Name on thing machine learning doe nother than youtube and facebook kiking you. >dude relation videos based on my prrvious views >machine learning is the future Wow tag based "machine learning" is the future
Jacob Morris
Haha, you fell for the computer science meme. Enjoy your debt and 4 years with normies you faggot.
When you get out of college with your worthless degree, those normies will be your boss, so you better learn to like them you beta wage cuck.
Tyler Jones
Java cuck here. Sorry you failed :^( many i went to school with also did
Parker Scott
You could always start your own business that's run more like how you'd want to see a business run. After all, you're full of good ideas that don't look anything like the ideas those startups have, right?
Nathaniel Ramirez
>You could always start your own business PLEASE someone do this. I just want to work for a merit-based tech company that doesn't buckle under retarded SJW demands and constantly virtue signal and have the trigger finger on the FIRED button if you don't openly subscribe to far-left ideologies. .
Asher Edwards
>(one of the most recent "hackathons" in my area was literally about helping refugees) kek what the fuck
Carson Nelson
Man that's harsh.
Can anyone here give examples for what it was like during the 80s or 90s, to compare?
In regards to OP?
Adrian Hernandez
Berlin is just as bad
Jaxson Carter
Just work in C/C++ and you'll never see this shit.
Aiden Evans
>work >C/C++ pick one.
Josiah Gonzalez
These probably exist, you just don't hear about them because they don't advertise all over the lefty-liberal-SV-oriented-app-loving-cloud-loving-might-as-well-be-buzzfeed-tech-news sources that happen to also be the only tech news sources anybody knows about.
Jordan Lopez
I thought he was talking about fucking Dev Mountain in Utah
Aiden Sanders
I''m an EE but work with software developers and I've never seen anything like this.
However, I work for a big industrial engineering company, and I think the software engineers who create operating systems for train control computers generally aren't the blue-haired numales and independent womyn who infest web service startups.
Nathaniel Anderson
>they're going to get good jobs and you're going to work for some piece of shit corporation that doesn't care about you and makes you work 80 hour weeks
>instead you should aim to work for a piece of shit startup that doesn't care about you and makes you work 80 hours weeks and pays you in pizza and worthless stock options instead of $
Andrew Jones
there is a reason all these fucks are in love with web technologies. they are incredibly easy to use, don't require a deeper understanding of anything and allow them to produce something that on the surface looks good.
Most web programmers I've worked with couldn't actually program beyond their little kingdom of frameworks and CRUD applications.
Mason Harris
yea it's almost non existent in colorado colleges
Hunter Stewart
I hate that. Web development is actually important, and I wish it didn't have such a stigma of normification.
Landon King
I remember Uni being like this as well, 10 years was a long time ago though
Cameron Diaz
What is wrong with machine learning?
Ian Phillips
Medical diagnostics, bioinformatics, pattern recognition in signal processing, computer vision, robotics, etc.
You fell for the meme thinking that machine learning can only be applied in webapps™:^)
Angel Scott
>daily contributions to github just use a script that pushes random code to projects that are setup to auto-merge any pull requests. after a month, people start getting job offers from tech companies that track github stats
