Let's settle this. Who is the better programmer, West coast or East coast?

Let's settle this. Who is the better programmer, West coast or East coast?

mexicans.

The Sup Forums NEET with Arch on his Thinkpad, obviously. Work is for wagecucks.

africans.

Obviously, but that is not one of the options.

DESU I'd rather have the greasy unkempt guy who once spent 3 weeks fixing his linux driver issues working on my project than some dude in a suit who did a bootcamp on how to use meme frameworks.

>work hours 10am-7pm
how do you people defend such bullshit?

what's wrong with those

first of all, that's 9 working hours so you can go fuck off right off the bat.
Second that time is fucking retarded, you basically waste the entire day

Put on a tie so you can take a rammed subway to work for your soulless corporation at 6AM for ten fucking hours taking a break to eat a hotdog from some illegal immigrant to then spend all your money waiting in line to get into some shitty nightclub so you can order a woman's drink.


Why would you ever be a programmer on the east coast?

6am-4pm is 10 working hours, you waste one hour more each day with that option. what are you even counting?

wew I didn't even see that, do people enjoy slavery? Holy fuck the rest of the civilized world has 8 working hours as the norm, everything else is overtime and paid accordingly

Wait in standstill traffic for 2 hours so you can try (and fail) to work in an "open" office layout full of distractions taking a break to pay your own fucking boss your own fucking money for a shitty chicken salad, then drink with the coworkers who keep wasting your time in teambuilding meetings for 2 hours at a bar that smells like ass and that women refuse to visit.

Why would you ever be a programmer on the west coast?

I work 10-5 and that includes half an hour for breakfast and an hour for lunch.

>everything else is overtime and paid accordingly
I take it you've never been on salary?

Fug. I work 10-8 and don't get compensated for overtime. Salary is just a misspelling of slavery.

A bunch of sociopathic autistic venture capitalists leveraging FOSS to make Uber for Houseplants

Except there's a massive surplus of people capable of make installing a kernel module off of github, so you can easily find 500 applicants that can both take a shower every morning and install linux drivers.

Fuck memes. I'm an east coast guy. I haven't worn shoes other than flip flops to work since April, I wear a t shirt every day. It's 8-5 with a 1 hour break for lunch which the company buys me. I commute to work in a challenger hellcat. It's only 5 miles. I drive a beater if the weather sucks. My company has been around for almost 20 years, but it's a small company. My weekend fun is going to see a local band play. And my mad men drink is a gin and tonic or gin martini, stirred. Shaken and vodka martinis are for fucking plebs.

Is this thread comparing lifestyles or programming competence?

Sup Forums only pretends to program, so neither

You can be salaries and paid overtime, but usually in lower level positions.

>t. Non-exempt software developer who never has to work overtime because Indians are more miserly than Jews

Which all produce consumer grade shit in their west coast campuses and do importany research elsewhere, like Israel

absafuckingloootely not. They script, not program.

yeah, higher-ed wise the west coast has what, Stanford, Berkeley, caltech and what else. The east coast has all the ivy's, mit, the little ivy's, and cmu
