GuestThis, software engineering/programming has become what happened to lawyers in the late 90’s early 2000’s. Complete over saturation of candidates so companies can have absolutely inane hiring practices.

GuestThis is definitely not true. I’m assuming neither of you actually have jobs in software because if you did, you’d know that companies are short in engineers/talent.

This guy is clearly trying to apply to a FAANG company, in which case they are most definitely not short in engineers or talent.-

Big difference.A billionaire only needs to ‘work’ 1 month out of a year.
>its work but its not a job
No what the fuck they should be retiring early they shouldn’t be working they made it!!!!Let me fill you in on something. The pursuit of wealth never ends.
>no not being a neet
>being a neet with a professional activity
See above.-

Guest>shouldn’t be working they made it
I said "work" because technically everything is work depending on how you define it.Maintaining a healthy relationship with your wife
Maintaining your estate and finances
Staying in shape
Typing a shitpost on LULZ
It’s all work.By your logic, retiring means you shouldn’t have to do literally anything because you made it and don’t need to work at anything anymore. Just lay on the couch and don’t even think.

GuestNo not by my logic.
I’m not saying that retiring means you just abandon all of everything including thinking.I’m pointing out an obvious fact. Wealthy people don’t just walk out of their jobs when they make it. The pursuit of wealthy is endless. Just look at wall street.

Guest>Wealthy people don’t just walk out of their jobs when they make it.
And I’m saying that they’re essentially retired because the work they do is negligible. They aren’t innovating or banging away at a keyboard to churn a product out.At that level it’s all investments.

GuestWarren Buffet still does the same job as before just on a higher level.
And I’m not trying to say I think the guy is a billionaire, just that he could be and likely is conventionally wealthy and its not weird for someone with any wealth to seek employment.
Your house can always be bigger. You could always have an extra car. Your wifes tits could be bigger. His dream may not be "live on his investments and code in his free time"

GuestThat’s not even close to being true. It’s true that there’s a gorillion code monkeys around, but there’s even more companies needing said code monkeys to work on their project. The ratio is even more skewed for more skilled software jobs (other than webshit). We’re fare from saturation.

Guest> and you cannot solve an algorithm challenge
so you should be able to solve every single algo challenge thrown at you on the fly at any given point and time? I don’t think there’s a single person on the planet that can do that. it also doesn’t freaking matter. someone who specializes in solving those type of problems doesn’t mean they’ll be a good programmer. -

GuestThis so much.
How much of a code money you have to be to be unable to write binary search or invert a linked list.
>inb4 it’s not real life problem
It’s about your general skill in programming. Just because you’ve memorized everything there is to do in maintaining some shitty obsolete Java service that "makes billions of dollars" doesn’t mean you are a good programmer.I blame it on all the zoomer "coders" that went on React course and think they are big thing. Barely any of them have any actual skill in programming, they all believe it’s only about learning language and few frameworks.

It’s funny that your idea of algorithm challenges is the basic stuff that’s memed among neets in here.
>Just because you’ve memorized everything there is to do in maintaining some shitty obsolete Java service that "makes billions of dollars" doesn’t mean you are a good programmer.
IRL the opposite is true. Nobody cares if you’ve memorized all the obscure algos in TAOCP. People are willing to pay for someone who can actually fix concrete shit, not navelgazing pseuds who think their B in undergrad complexity theory puts them just one notch below von Neumann and Ritchie.
>Barely any of them have any actual skill in programming, they all believe it’s only about learning language and few frameworks.

It’s not my idea, I’ve only given an example of typical recruitment tasks.
If I were to came up with these stuff, I’d use some variation of them though.>Nobody cares if you’ve memorized all the obscure algos in TAOCP. People are willing to pay for someone who can actually fix concrete shit,
Yup, that’s literally my point.
Memorizing some random frameworks/algorithms/methodologies is worthless. They need people who can actually analyze and solve new problems when they see them, not just what they’ve memorized during courses.>The future is now, pretend old man.
I’m mostly likely no older than you.

They don’t need to stop everything because they aren’t doing much in the first place. The type of ‘work’ they do isn’t equivalent to a wagecuck or someone trying to climb the ladder. Once you become that big it’s basically more about maintaining your reputation.
