why
its hard to talk about it to non programmers
most people dont understand what i do
well yeah they don't understand at all I get it
people shit talk "code monkeys"
but the truth is, it's a demanding and intellectual job
and a lot of people are simply too stupid for that ffs
it's not THAT easy to learn programming
and yeah, when you look at the wages
it turns out that the "code monkeys" are actually the elite of the modern society
especially here, in the eastern bloc
lol i dont think that highly of programmers tho, especially webdevs like me
dunno about Hungary, but I think you hinted it's similar there, but here it's like IT is one of the very few sectors where you can get nice money
im not even that good at programming
im googling shit all the time
I'm not really thinking that highly
but it's definitely more complicated that most of jobs
and everything nowadays relies on programming
every complex system, every company, basically every field of scientific research, entertainment
it's everywhere
and most of the people aren't really aware of the way this layer actually works
they just browse web and use software
without thinking about it
tbh I was studying biology but I dropped it in favor of CS 😮
as I understood that even in that field, any major advancement now will rely on CS
theres a shitton of people missing from the IT sector here
around 20k
its pretty easy to find a job
especially as a programmer
>mfw I can't really make myself caring about career prospects
anon do you watch anime?
well I watch something from time to time
but not really regularly anymore
if I hear about something good I watch it
like made in abyss
should i watch that?
well I think so
its great imo
im pretty new to anime
