Coding Ruined My Life | 4chan stories

By Biz Wisdom | Biz Wisdom | 8 Jan 2024


I won't write a whole life story here for those with tiny attention span but here's a summary:

Go to college major in CS. I want to be a game designer bro. Learn a few years into my degree that coding is really hecking hard at the same time learn that game programming requires ultimate mega genius level coding skills which I knew I would never get considering I've been demoralized by my major already.

Graduated took 7 months to find a job. Stayed stupidly loyal to the job for almost 6 years despite the constant exploitation and horrible office politics. This was the real turning point which blackpilled me on just learn to code bro.

Eventually burned out and left my job couldn't find anything else remotely near my area that paid nearly as much.

Right around this time this is when the rate hikes started happening and tech industry got absolutely crushed in the ensuing layoffs.

This resulted in me not being able to find a job anywhere.

Fast forward to today, 2 years unemployed I've been totally blackpilled and demoralized about coding and really the tech industry as a whole Tech is by far the worst industry in America outside of medical.

Why didn't anyone warn me about the hyper exploitation, hyper competition to get jobs, the other incompetence of management, the communication mishaps, etc.?

Yeah I just rambled above but the gist of it is that coding took away so many years of my life and left me in a catatonic utterly depressed state of mind.

I deeply regret majoring in CS so much so that I don't think I can ever recover, even the money isn't worth it in this sorry field.

For those of you around here who keep shilling the coding meme to those questioning their future, is guidance I have a message for all of you who wish to destroy others lives: heck you that's all.
