I'm an aging software developer in my 30s who's finding it increasingly impossible to compete with younger people in the job market. Is it time to just throw in the towel and kill myself or is there still some kind of hope left? I have no savings thanks to the expensive area I live in and I essentially live paycheck to paycheck thanks to my salary, so if I get fired from this job I'm going to be homeless.

Find something in networking that hasn't been tainted by normies

How can you have no savings? What was your salary?

Why can't you compete? Are you stupid?

Move back to India

Is it the Bay Area? Are you being discriminated or is it your skills?

kill yourself

Shit like this genuinely makes me nervous to go into software development.

You can't expect to be a software dev and not keep up with the latest tech. tech is the fastest evolving industry in the world.

>Is it time to just throw in the towel and kill myself or is there still some kind of hope left?
There are plenty of places to work that are not in fuckexpensive locations. You don't have to give up what you do.

You made this same shit thread multiple times before. It's time to off yourself.

hang in there.
shop around.
maybe get lucky and find a well-funded startup.
fin tech is really hot right now.

You kind of can if you specialize in some dated shit like FORTRAN, which is a good idea since programmers in charge of such systems are dying everyday.

Nice pasta.

Unless you're a Marc Gravell or Jon Skeet, e.g. just-get-it-done coders, why the fuck are you still in software development?

Awareness is slowly increasing that software engineering is a meme. It's too mentally exhausting to do your entire life. Software engineering is a fun kickstarter when you're young, and if you don't succeed young, then you won't last.

Tell me more
Is it viable to learn some dated language for this purpose ?

What other languages have this relationship

No

>Is it viable to learn some dated language for this purpose ?
It may be viable, but you won't be happy with your life.

>I have no savings thanks to the expensive area I live in and I essentially live paycheck to paycheck thanks to my salary
what the fuck does this even mean? is this pasta or wtf?

Learn Java instead. That has both legacy systems and new ones. If all else fails then go work for the government. They have very low standards.

Stale pasta and anyone who inflicted this problem on themselves needs to take a nice dry dive out the window in OPs pic.

This is a tech forum, not a pussy loser forum.

top kek

Where do you think we are?

>not a pussy loser forum
sounds like shit a tryhard cuck would say to get e-cred in here

Take out your office before you kill yourself.

Your experience should be putting yourself ahead of people. Also being a friendly person at work will help you get more opportunities. It's not all skill, it's also team work. Find a way to love the people you work with, to have more job security.

wtf is wrong with you, that helps no one.

Seek Jesus Christ. He is the only hope. Not memeing.

past 30 you go into management you idiot. it takes roughly 10 years till you start hating tech and programming languages/frameworks. then it's time to become product manager or something like this where you can send out idealistic kids to die in the trenches of software development.
either that or you start your own company.

You will be responsible for his life in eternity. Best not to say that t.bh

at a certain point you start hating your job. you realize that tech is cyclical and is repeating itself. and the new incarnations are even more shitty than the previous ones. only with different buzzwords. tech is a loser's game.

just ask any old UNIX beard what they think about NodeJS and its revolutionary event handling...

I don't mind. I made at least one person kill himself already. There's no turning back.

cool. I hope it was a commie. that would grant you instant entry into heaven.

kill yourself on facebook live

This, everything is cyclical and like it or not you need to stop thinking that your way will be good forever

Wrong I don't wanna

never listen to Sup Forums

Go government, put in your 20, and don't give any fucks with your retirement till death.

Ageism is a total maymay there are tons of old cranks around shitting out code because they need people who actually know what they're doing

What are some Sup Forumsod-tier jobs?

yeah..... someone tell him to go to near confidence family/friend/psychologist, Sup Forums is not an real option.

You can always move somewhere where you can live off of teacher's pay and teach. Uni, college, high school, even fucking old people's house.

I'm going to find you and murder you and stage it as a suicide, nigger.

this. relocate.

in this day and age, especially if you just work on a computer, you can write code from anywhere with electricity and an internet connection.

also you might want to get away from an earthquake-prone area, and a likely primary target from across the ocean.

Just find something no one else does. There is a huge pressure on automation these days, for example, some companies want to completely drop first level of support and replace the poor souls with scripts. Just find company like that and do what they tell you.
