shitposting on 4chun plox
why would you feel guilty about it?
also, i'm glad my uni is rigorous as hell and you're able to see all the downsides of programming before you make the dumb decision to continue a career in one
so you're a code archeologist
Sounds like me, minus the degree.
Currently stuck in the clip-on tie looking for a new job because I was hired on part time with a gentleman's promise of full time that never came through.
The hourly rate is alright, but it's not Christmas now and my hours are in the shitter.
Got turned down for a position at another company due to a misdemeanor theft charge.
I have another interview tomorrow. If I don't find a new job by July, I'm considering tying all my lose ends and committing sudoku.
All I want to do is go back to school and not be dirt poor.
