"Ooh that's really cool" is not what I'd expect to hear after saying I'm a software engineer

[–] eek2121@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Software Engineers are highly paid. Many women want a guy that can provide.

[–] Slotos@feddit.nl 34 points 2 years ago

Don’t discriminate. Many men want a guy that can provide too.

Someone is into OP or whoever is in gold, at least for now. Even if you don't find it cool, flatter to keep conversation and interest. It could be genuine as in finding interest in anything your crush is into interesting, or be just practical.

Also, people are attractive/interesting when they speak about stuff they're passionate about. Lots of people will listen to you blab on about something they know nothing about or care nothing about if you interest them in your delivery.

how so? my experience is that people tend to be impressed and intrigued and they hear I'm a software engineer

It's something I write when I don't have anything else to say

It might not be genuine interesting

tbh if I hear someone is into tech I'm interested

like yay someone with interests!

and others who aren't interested in tech are interested anyway because what we do sounds like some sort of witchcraft to them loll

?? Not in 30 years have I run into such a thing.

[–] kurwa@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah more like has shitty coworkers.

That’s the most generous reading. The alternate reading I’ll leave for OP to deduce.

Or he constantly needs help with easy problems that a quick stackoverflow with 30k upvotes could fix. And he doesn't remember anything after you've showed him twice

It's been a week and my CEO still hasn't responded my email asking for scope clarification for a project he asked me to do...

Nothing ever gets done in the second half of December.

[–] GregoryTheGreat@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

More like between thanksgiving and the near year.

I find we're most productive in far years.

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You guys are reminding me of all the planning crap and responding I didn't get done before the holiday break and really need to do.

I quit my company a week ago because as a company of 13 people the communication at all levels was so poor compared to my previous job working with over 20 and several departments. I’m not usually one to judge people’s degrees, but our boss has a biosciences and GIS degree and somehow wandered their way into software management and has the biggest superiority complex I’ve ever seen. These people plague the software development landscape so, my condolences for your CEO who is probably too busy looking at golf clubs and scheduling tee times while writing up an email about how hard executive management works to get back to you.

It's also Christmas time

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I check my email once per day, then I close it. If you need me, I’m on slack, or walk up to me.

[–] Rediphile@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 years ago (2 children)

She matched with you because she wants to fuck. Ask her out bruh.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Oh this is a dating app?

[–] themusicman@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's called "working on a team larger than 1"

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm basically a code bitch. I'm loaned out to other teams to write scripts. They usually also want me to run them in addition to writing them. Typically with my own compute resources.
