How do I get out of this hell ASAP? People who have successfully become self-employed/financially independent plz help me out I don't think I can stay sane like this for more than a year and even that is making me depressed.
David Martin
Step 1: don't do web shit
Austin Sullivan
Step 2. Bring a lunch
Tyler Jackson
Ask for a raise.

If you really think that no one pays attention to you then whats stopping you from working from home? If the company is THAT kind of bullshit and they won't let you work from home officially then just don't show up and work from home for as long as you can before they notice
Landon Scott
I would bring lunch but I have only a couple of hours free every day which I can't afford to use to make lunch as I have other more important stuff to do.
The only option is to make lunch during sat/sun and freeze for the whole week which I am considering but then I would be eating the same thing for a week.
Connor Anderson
>If you really think that no one pays attention to you then whats stopping you from working from home?
If I don't show up they would 100% notice me because we have to sign-in with our ID card and sign out too.

Nigga I took Bart from Fremont to San Francisco daily which costed me $15.50 plus I'd have to buy a $15 mini lunch because of Indians buying anything at any price.

Carter Nguyen
No
Daniel Cook
Are you okay with your job though?
Elijah Cruz
Then besides that, do you think they would notice? If you don't think they would you could try looking into tricking it somehow
Josiah Perez
Make better decisions in your next life.
Camden Miller
No I got fired two weeks ago because three building engineers didn't know the pipping architecture and lied to me about it so 3 levels on a high rise building on market sreeer got flooded and it was 3 building engineers vs my word. Plus the engineers played a game and said they wouldn't ban the company I worked for if they let me go.
But now I'm going to work in Sunnyvale at a tech company doing facility maintenance including HVAC/ Refrigeration/ chillers/ some electrical and carpentry. Plus $6 more an hour.
Good things come in life and things happen for a reason.
Austin Richardson
I think they would notice if I don't show up. They are not oblivious.
Owen Gutierrez
Then just ask if its possible for you to work from home since the ride there and back is a waste of time and shit
Most of the time the reason they don't let you work from home even when it would make sense is because then the managers can't force you to suck their dick and go to their retarded meetings
Jonathan Bell
Does your website have user accounts? How do they do user authentication?
Jordan Watson
Sounds like you got caught up in an insurance fraud
Ethan Williams
>Then just ask if its possible for you to work from home since the ride there and back is a waste of time and shit
I don't think they would let me because I have meme-meetings every day at 9, 2 and 5.
Carson Gutierrez
>Does your website have user accounts? How do they do user authentication?
It depends on the client's requirement
Carson Jenkins
>Having a meeting every few hours What the fuck? Is that company some experiment where they see how they can be unproductive as possible? I would suggest getting the fuck out of there
Tyler Walker
Get a new job if you can't put up with it anymore if you have to stay in the job stop moaning
Dominic Morris
They have start of the day meeting to plan for the day.
Then a meeting after lunch so we can talk about what's happening.
Then a meeting at the end of the day so we can say what we have done.
It's supposed to make everybody productive and agile.
James Walker
In which city are you living OP ?

Webdev is the construction worker job of all CS careers. The technology around it is the most refined, uninventive, sack(s) of garbage. The workers are the ones that graduated with a CS degree looking for a rat race to sign onto and don't care about much beyond getting their paycheck and going home to do their same routine until they die.
You want to do your own thing? You will need to build a financial runway. You are going to have to put in hours of work on your own clock. It will have to be focused on moving a single product to the finish line. It will need to be practical financially. You will need to understand your audience, that market, what you are competing with, if your competition is making money that you can survive on. You are going to have to cut features that you can't afford the time to make. Nobody will tell you where the start line is or where the finish line is because everybody you know is a goddamn tool that does the same boring shit you are doing now (and they are OK with it).
Tyler Hughes
It's a shithole don't worry.
Jackson Bennett
Do you live in the US? Move to the southeast
Juan Clark
How do I get time to do my own thing when I'm using all my uptime during weekdays getting to/from work or working and weekend to do household chores? I have at most a sunday. Should I just go full on stingy-mode and save up and quit?
Jason Roberts
Well if the client wants a website made with React that has user accounts, how do you approach user authentication?
Jace Flores

Is it better there?
Jack Sanders

Brody Lee
Standard sign-in/pw and facebook integration because muh social media.
and maybe google account or whatever else they want.
Cooper Walker
Yeah sadly i didn't take it or remember where it is from although I would mention that it is most likely staged.
Robert Williams
Large amount of webdev jobs are opening up around here (Huntsville is a good example) You definitely won't have to take long ass train ride to get there and back anywhere in the south They are also much less likely to hire pajeets and do retarded meetings like that If you live in California (I assume you do) they pay will seem far less, but it equals out with the cost of living
Eli Cooper
-Always jew your big salary cash even if you don't know what independent project you are going to do -Research how much cash similar products are making -Understand your throughput for standard features, understand the technology you are using so you have zero surprises, make sure you know which things are uncertain deliverables and plan accordingly, know where you should be on a monthly basis feature wise -Review your bank expenses for the last year and figure out what your monthly bleed rate is, buy all tools you need for your new job while you are still working including replacements -Start working on your new thing before you quit, if it is software, try to do a minimum of 1 hackathon or competition to reality check your skill. If you don't get a satisfactory result, keep doing them.
If you can't find a way to make time for 48 hour competitions or hackathons then you don't have the balls to do independent anyway. Independent isn't like salary, you have to have a will unlike anything you see in the corporate mills.
Blake Lee
Oh, and start networking once you have a demo or something. If it is a consumer product, then get on common social media feeds and get people looking at your shit. They -will- react positively if you have something good. It is bizarre at first if you aren't used to it, just don't go full retard if it happens.
Ayden Rodriguez
Yes, but what technologies do you use? For Facebook and Google logins, I know to use OAuth, but what about for the site's own accounts?
Alexander Allen
>but what about for the site's own accounts?
mysql + HTTP form?
I don't get the question.
Cameron James
>have to buy overpriced lunch >Have to deal with stupid managers >all the girls are below average in attractiveness
Sounds like in my place, Philippines. Tbh, I have the same problem here. Feels like shit bruh. Can relate.
Mason Wilson
>mysql + HTTP form
I thought a real webdev would know what I was talking about. Obv there's a db of users and an HTTP form, but how do we communciate between the form's React component, the server, and then all the components that may need to change depending on authentication status? How does the server create/assign a token or cookie? How do we check authentication status after each user action?

Justin Price
>everyday wasting 2 hours of my life read a book, expand your mind. Find a hobby or something constructive to do in the mean time rather than be a mook about it. Maybe grope a few girls if your packing up like a sardine
Adrian Carter
Doesn't sound bad -- sounds like regular standups so that your management knows what's going on and can make adjustments. I'd expect a manager in an Agile environment to do that.
Are these meetings like 30 minutes long or something? If so, your company is missing the point of Agile.
Standups should be less than

I'm not that guy but if you work with experienced people in a non shit company everyone treats agile/scrum as religion, that's how it works.

Joshua Martinez
Agile and scrum prescribe a set of management and planning tools and techniques which can help with specific problems.
You are supposed to pick and choose what you need and what will work for your team.
But managers who fear real responsibility or decision making will fall into the cargo cult side of it.
I.e. Most managers.
Joshua Diaz
Welcome to adulthood. No matter what you do your life will be stressful and shitty.
Being self employed means working 24/7 and having nowhere to leave your work behind, at least wage slaving is only for 8 hours a day, and then you're free
Leo King
This unironically made me think.
Ryan Carter
>nowhere to leave your work Except whenever you want.
Samuel Hernandez
You need to be 18 to post in here.
Hudson Thompson
use google retard
I've never used react because I dont use shitty meme frameworks but any login process basically evolves looking up the username and password on the database and comparing the password hashes. If the username exists and the hashes are the same then login is successful.
step 2 google how to assign cookie with x language you are using.
Lucas Lee
Back to work goy!
Oliver Morgan
iktf op, I'm getting cucked at work.
I applied for backend work on a rest api as my first job, in a team of 3 guys.
Now that there are barely any features they want me to learn android cause we don't have a developer and we gonna copy most of the ios shit.
I refused and they said there is nothing else except an ocassional bug to work on every week, I don't know android and I don't want to work on design I only draw cubes and have the creativity of a monotonous bitter autistic virgin. I gave up and agreed for a small raise, i sold my body like a whore.
