Trying not to splatter my brains against the wall next to me. The labor doom blew in hard this morning and the constant loop in my head is “lmao why are you bothering with software engineering this diploma finna be worthless in a half-a-year’s time and then what will you do?” Feels like everything I’ve done to try and get out of section 8 was worthless, a waste of time, and the only way to recoup that wasted time is to just blow the candle out.
Ironic how my mother’s favorite phrase was “there’s nothing I hate more than a liar” when every elder I ever had lied to me bout this shit.
Oh I was hearing that even 10 years ago. “I had to train this [cracker-borne string of slurs] to do my job today” type noise. Shit’ll go quadratic. Can’t help but feel like my cousin went into the smarter industry and he got pinched for narcotics like five years ago or some.
Yeah but right now it’s still nowhere near critical point
the avg salary for a programmer is still like $40k or even higher? Once remote work gets fully adopted those salaries will come plummeting down to $10k because there’s hundreds of millions of people in Bangalore and Chennai who’d love to do that job at that salary
Oh nah, wasn’t you. I’ve been grappling with this mounting sense of labor-based doom for the past year and change now; the semester’s only just started up and the sense came back.
Yeah, you definitely have to “wait it out” when you get those vibes, but I understand that the vibes sometimes reflect a reality that’s, at the very least, real for a lot of people (even if it doesn’t affect you or you directly).

Sorry about your cousin.

I’m sorry if that’s the case.

That’s good, comrade.
