You're constantly trying to figure out and learn new things, it's easy to burn out quick.

Peace.

[@sesdartesesdartino3882]

Is this true?

[@oludavidgbadebo5357]

It totally depends on your role (client-facing or not), your project and the company. I’ve worked at big tech in the bay and big healthcare tech in Kansas and both companies treat their developers very differently. Big tech tend to be relaxed and they provide virtually everything you need to get your job done, which could be free meals all day. Other companies don’t have the big tech mindset but still need software developers. They won’t provide free food or swag or help with issues you might have but they expect that you perform as well, if not better than, big tech developers. This guy works practically 9 - 5. At a non big tech company, they would expect 8:30 - 6, which can be exhausting and leave you no time to do other things after work cos you have to wake up early the next day. My point is that not all software developer roles are made the same and it depends on the company and what you actually do a the day-to-day. Some roles are dreamy, like this guy’s, others are exhausting.

[@takumifujiwara9072]

Yep I remember a guys channel who wouldn't stop talking how shitty his job in software development is and how how shitty the big corporations treat thier employees to extract as much profit then can extract and the expense of thier mental and physical health.

For anyone that isn't certain why Twitter has never shown a profit, this has some answers. I couldn't help but notice. You get to the office at 9am, eat breakfast paid for by Twitter, and on company time until 10am, then work for 2 hours and start lunch at 12. Next, it says to start work again at 2:50, after watching people playing ping pong. Leave work at 4:30. This guy literally works 3.5 hours per day.

[@mattburns617]

Exactly. Should fire the lot of them, the 25% of employees who actually put in 8 hours a day of solid work, and bring their own lunch, will do their work plus the work of the 75% who were fired.

Did you actually watch the video? Timestamps for coding / work related activities: 09:20am - 12 coding = 2h:40m 12:30pm - 2:35pm Coding / meetings = 2h5m 2:50pm - 4:30pm Coding = 1h40m sums up to: 2:40 2:05 1:40 + ------------- 6h25m

[@mattburns617]

@@umpulumpa17 the original poster wasn't criticising the guy directly, but highlighting why Twitter simply isn't profitable, because their operating expenses are unjustified. There are other videos floating around of times more recent and many Twitter staffers have publicly confessed they hardly do actual work because they are pampered and treated like children, their attitude and backlash to Elon is evidence of this. Elon's declared he's taking away their ice-cream, and for that they're kicking and screaming, behaving like children not adults. This is what the original poster likely had in mind. Twitter has hardly turned a profit due to their high operating expenses for numerous years now. The easy way to turn this around is to gut the pig, even though Elon has stated it's not about the profits, but any businessman will tell you that growth requires capital. Elon has already fired the CEO of Twitter today, plus the financial executive and head of legal.
