>>meaningful contributions to society
You're saying that like it's a convincing argument to anyone on this board.

Code monkeys are the lowest IT job tier.

coding is fucking gay and soi as fuck

t. IT engineer

damn dude these guys seem insanely boring

I'm stupid and lazy.

You know what's worse than someone playing video games? Twitter.

i program for a living and i can't wait to get home and not do it

I write soulless CRUD shit for a living famallamadinga, I don't solve shit, I just do the bare minimum to get paid every week

Best answer I've ever saw.

>Shit coworkers
>Shit bosses who dont know a single thing about coding/limitations/project creep/etc and force you to try anyway
>Clients who do that as well
>Deadlines made by people who have no clue about anything regarding what you are working on
Nah nigga

>bro become a coder while everyone else is doing the same thing
Won't this lead to oversaturation, or am I just retarded?

>literal who twitter screencap thread
You deserve the rope OP.

>highly sought skill
Yeah in pajeets who are willing to work for pennies

If you heard basically any stories of video game development companies, you know exactly what is stopping me.

no, because actually good coders who get paid well are rare. the majority of people are bad at coding
yeah, i can go to work and write service 62872BWBCJ72719 so that service 1791BSNQJ7382 is 2% faster, huge contribution i made.

This. I fear I'm too dumb to acquire high enough skill for it to be worthwhile, plus I'm 25 already (kill me pls)

People have compared Zachtronics games unironically to coding and Factorio to designing a fucking circuitboard
How accurate even is that

>codemonkeys being uppity
Lmao, while still working for someone who barely knows how to turn on a PC

Similar in process I guess but it doesn't accomplish anything.

I really do want to get into something challenging and fun that can potentially earn me money to be honest. I've been considering learning drawing too. Maybe coding is the best for that.

I did but apparently I'm the only one who doesn't need a public persona to show everyone that I code. Fucking faggots

You can enjoy both

t. software engineer

He sounds incredibly self absorbed and anything this guy does sounds like a promotion of his product more than anything else

Also avoiding the question and answering something else pedantically strikes me like he's either an asshole or just boring.

Imagine I asked you what's your favorite musical album and you tell me that you're too absorbed in composing music to actually listen to stuff. Imagine how much of a tool you sound answering like that

I've worked as a software engineer for 3 years and I game all the time. It's a completely false dichotomy, not to mention that it takes no intellect whatsoever. If you want something to brag about go do topology or real analysis or better yet shut the fuck up.

I'm a hobbyist programmer of some competence and I've dabbled in circuits
There's some interesting similarities, although obviously those games are what they are: Games.
Programming is an interesting thing if you're into it; It's ostensibly an engineering discipline, with all the ups and downs that involves. I liken it to building machines out of words. I personally find it compelling but I also have a crippling case of autism so what the fuck do I know. I got into programming mainly because I wanted to make video games (of course I fucking did) but in hindsight programming for its own sake is surprisingly enjoyable.

I would've paid someone on Fiverr to do my projects for me had I known about it then.

>solving real problems is much more challenging
No fucking shit, son. And I'm sure becoming an astronaut is far more challenging than playing chess, but one thing has nothing to do with the other.

>"meaningful" contribution to a society that hates you and wants your kids brainwashed, you tagged like cattle or in the ground and your right null
Let me get right on that

There's your mistake. You're not supposed to start with books. You're supposed to set yourself a specific goal and try to reach it through Internet tutorials to give yourself a kickstart, like making a Nokia snake clone or something. When you get a grasp on the basic concepts, you can go back to books.
