And people on TA wonder why I don't have a "real" job. Because it'd involve working at Amazon or MS then you are basically tainted. You can't say you work there because it is an instant "oh."
Plus community college girls are easier.

Actually to further expand on that article, it isn't only the women that hate the Amazon employees. Most of them are fucking douche bags that couldn't program themselves out of a paper sack if they needed to. They're fucktard idiots who never had an interest in programming and took it up in college, learned all the worst practices, and then got a job with a bunch of other idiots.
People wonder why good software is dying, and it is because the current generation of domestic programmers are fucking tools who have no ability to think on their own and be creative and the companies that hire them split the workload between that and shitty programmers in the Philippines and South East Asia.
The only way to have any self respect as a programmer these days is to be doing something new and innovative and the only way to be happy is to be doing something you love while being new and innovative.
This is why I've taken a year of art history instead of engineering classes.

I dunno, seems like everything is oriented toward the cashout these days. Put some "app" out there that gets a few dozen thousand downloads, get bought up by a larger company. Then claim that you're "changing the world" or "disrupting existing industries" somehow. That's today's innovation for ya.

But there's still all those dudes working on memristors and shit for old guard companies. Sometimes I think it would have been better to do computer engineering than CS.

I've kept tooling around on my radio software for four years now trying to get it back to a commercial state on my own.
Last week I added a feature that turns peoples voices into gibberish while still retaining language like qualities. I made it so now you can make other people speak another language you don't understand... Unless you can speak both, in that case you have to be an interpretor. It sounds dumb to most people, but it's actually a pretty neat feature that simulates working with multi-national forces that do not speak the same language.

Yea, engineering is where it is at, but I like programming more I think.

You should go back to making music.
I should take my own advice.

Haha, I miss it sooooo much. But I ought to be spending my energy on other more "productive" things at the moment.
