This should be celebrated!

I don’t think there will be negatives. There are only positives that can come with this.

- lots of people can’t take it anymore living in this cruel world without good job and economic prospects, or looking at the bleak environmental future

- less people on Earth will make the Earth have a chance of recovering

- labor will be more valued, less competition

- less demand for housing, making housing cheaper

- less demand for education, goods and services, making it lower in price

- less strain on the economy by people who can’t contribute

- we can donate the organs to healthy people who need it more

- we can use bodies for science

Software engineer here now currently doing hobby MCU and electronics engineering.

Being raised in Asia, I learned college level math in highschool so math here is a piece of cake.

Also I am happy to get downvoted! Yay!

Do both of course.

Also what is “reasonably” high paying for you? If you have PhD or been in the industry for a while sure you can get $700k/ year job.

But I am just a bachelor with less than 5 yrs of exp.

Also, with bonus I get total of $400k

Do Leetcode. Seriously, just do Leetcode. No one is good at Leetcode at start, but eventually they became good.

Leetcode is the only thing that gave me the best bang for the buck. I literally tripled my salary (now $300k, USA) in 4 years because of Leetcode. I was hesitant to do Leetcode at first.

As for rejection, just keep going at it, and eventually you'll develop a thick skin.

Btw, I was rejected 9 times from programming bootcamps when I first started learning programming. I got rejected by Google 4 times, Amazon 3 times, Facebook 2 times, Uber 2 times, etc.

I don't work at any of the big tech or unicorns right now, and boy I'm glad I don't. I work at a private investment firm (still doing software). Better problems, better environment.

From not knowing that string (in JS) is immutable, to $300k/year.

Thank you Leetcode.

Because The educated is synonymous for woke politics bullshit these days. They got knowledge but they lack wisdom. They got their privilege living in safe 1st world environments but they forgot true human nature that 3rd worlders see daily.

If they make suicide painless and effortless more people would want to do it. Suicide is a win win situation for everyone. Less humanity, less population to feed, more organs to distribute, less pollution, also less competition between us.

The only thing that would stand against self assisted suicide coming to masses is those religious people.

Yes life is a grind and competition. Open your eyes. This is the reality. We humanity have a built in kill switch in our head, greed. Rich or poor, young or old. Everyone thinks about themselves. This is what makes competition and free market work. Communism doesn’t work. You think more distribution will make us hold hands together and sing kumbaya near a firepit? Who’s gonna decide where and how much the distribution should go? There will be blood on the streets.

It is impossible for everyone in this Earth to live like an average Americans. The Earth will suffer.

They don’t have to work for Walmart. Please study programming or plumbing instead.

Meanwhile a lot of people in other countries would kill to have their standard of living. The only reason why they have the salary and standard living that they have compared to 3rd world country is because their country export inequalities, trash, made possible by their money printing machine backed by military power.

Are you me? I am learning C lately, been a few weeks. I am an SWE with 7 years of experience in JS/TS world.

Currently I am trying to learn how to test C correctly, seems there are lots of approaches.

It began when I decided to learn low level development a few months ago. I completed my Chip 8 emulator. Next I bought Arduino a month ago and I was playing around with it. Now I am reading AVR Programming book so I decided to learn C properly. On the side I already made a small keyboard with a microcontroller with QMK firmware. Soldering and stuffs.

Next what I’m trying to learn is some electronics knowledge just enough to make stuffs.

This is way more fun than my web development job!

Currently the resources I use: - Learn C The Hard Way - BeeJ’s guide to C - random video tutorials from the internet - Make: Arduino - Make: AVR programming

I would love this to happen because finally I can have my own one man paramilitary industry like Tony Stark.

Then I just need to procure the right assault weapons. Then I will be (at least my bunker will be) unstoppable. No need to hire mercenaries anymore.

Maybe one day it will get even better, that I can have my own attack units like robot dogs/personal tanks equipped with insane amounts of assault weapons and javelins. Then I can mount an attack against anything. A person, an organization, a city, a small government. A true one man army, with AI controlling everything.

- Don't think much about what you can't control. Focus on what you can control

- As long as you have healthy body, healthy mind, healthy spirituality, money can always be made

- Always be studying

- Don't be ashamed to do low paying jobs, i.e, dishwashing, delivery driving

- Don't follow consumerism. Don't have credit card debt. Don't have student loan debt. Don't have mortgage. If you do, and you can't pay it off, just let it be. Escape to another country, be undocumented, build a new life

- Tell your wife and kids that they need to be ready leave you to a better person that can take care of them if things go south

Basically, just have the attitude "It is what it is, I tried my best".

A lot of our problems in life are because we want this and that. We want a nice house, we want a nice car, we want a beautiful wife, we want kids, we want good career, we want a nice vacation, we want the latest phone, etc. Get rid of your current life style, or just have the attitude "eh, this thing can be gone and I will be okay".

Those aren't that important. Nothing lasts forever. In the end, things happened.

Of course, modern society will break down if all of us think and have this kind of freedom. Society is built upon hard labors of those who have chains like a mortgage.

But you do you. Neither you nor society is all that important. Forget about all of those pressure.

Yeah, the good students will learn how to use ChatGPT to their advantage without necessarily hampering their learning process. The bad students, well, just leave them to their own ways.
