I'm so at peace right now, the flow is good. I don't need the hustle of chasing mllions of dollars. The owner of the company can deal with that, I just want to do my 8 hours and go…

I've tried both. I've seen what both offer and I'm so confident in my decision that I just sit back and watch the gong show at this point. My decision gets further cemented when I …

Absolutely. It's not perfect but safety is in your control, and all up to you. I accept the trade off, as the alternative is going back to linkedin and begging for a job all day. T…

Absolutely. It's not perfect. I risk crushing my hands everyday. Or falling. Or causing 10s of thousands of dollars in damage because I didnt tighten a bolt. Arthritis is likely. B…

Maybe 10 years ago. Now you have to fight 300 other applicants for an entry position that pays $50k in NYC. The biggest thing for me that pushed me over the edge was thinking, how …

I try everyday to apply my tech background to my mechanics. I use it for things like torque specs and brain storming issues but nothing much else. Utilizing it for business purpose…

I'm not concerned. If the trades get replaced, then its just over for everyone. Then literally nothing is safe. Besides, unless we build physical robots to trace airlines and repla…

That's how the majority get into it. My first year course, half the students were all from the public transit and knew each other.

100% And tools have never been cheaper. The knock off chinese clones are used by professionals too. I have tons of automotive friends and they all vary in their level of access to …

I had lots of personal experience under my belt. I built a hot rod out my garage on the cheap (because I was broke and wanted a nice car). I used that on my resume and they were ex…

I love software, but knew I would quickly learn to hate it. I'm not going to be working on my passion projects. I'd be working on horribly boring software used by some corporation.…

I'm a car guy, and a computer guy. I wanted a nice car, so instead of racking up mega debt on a $70,000 mustang I bought an old classic car and learned everything. After 5 years I …

My entire life I've done tech. I remember in middle school all my teachers knew me as the kid who wrote code. I did my degree, and did an internship but nothing ever really stuck (…

After 5+ years of actively trying to get into the field (pre AI), I left. I threw my degree in the toilet, I closed my linkedin, and I went to go work in the trades as a diesel mec…

This implementation isn't using webworkers either. Moving the java VM to a webworker would likely improve performance 10 fold.

I'm saying it's clearly people pushing an agenda when there's bigger threats. I'm pointing out that if it was truly about children dying, they would focus on bigger dangers, like s…

Maybe that's your experience within your specific company but that's not the normal. If you guys have vacant positions, I'd love to apply. Anonymously of course.

Sorry but that's simply not accurate at all. The entry positions are FLOODED with new comers. We aren't hiring them because they're the best fit, we have plenty of unemployed local…

Were you very specialized in a certain field, filling a senior position? As a Canadian with a CS degree who's been trying to get into tech for years, this is horrible to hear. We h…
