Meanwhile, I’ve been under here for two weeks straight. I go underground at 730am, and exit about 630pm. Aside from an hour in the morning and a couple in the evening, I only see the sun on week ends. I am become mole person.

    I dont see how telling somebody that despite the fucked up job market and its horrible process that some work does exist so try not to lose all hope is a sigma male line. I love this field and I’m sure those who are looking for work do too, so I want to push back on the burnout how I can. And since it seems this is a bad faith convo I’ll clarify: I love the work, understanding complex computer systems, being creative in designing new things and solving technical challenges, not the big tech companies or culture around them.

    I don’t blame anybody for not being able to find work in this system, I’m not defending how it works. It’s personal words of encouragement and nothing more. I can try to be helpful towards people navigating the current system as it stands while opposing its existence on all fronts too.

      C’mon, that’s not what you wrote. It was indistinguishable from telling them it’s their problem and they should hustle more. I’m not going to give the benefit of the doubt to that kind of thing. In good faith I urge you to consider that.

        I said keep at it, there are opportunities but they require digging. And I talked about how I try to sort through that mess personally. But I also say it feels impossible and that most of the time the standard route is fruitless in my own experience. I get how you’re reading those ideas into it but it’s not my intention, I’m being critical of the system but personally trying to be encouraging

        doomerism doesn’t help anyone. misrepresenting the situation as worse than it is is still misrepresenting the situation. that’s the problem with the maoists-third worldists.
