The tech industry is dying. No real problems to solve. How many times can you reinvent the same shit and package it and patent it? Those who are still in here and know this are constantly playing chess at work to protect their incomes or their purpose in life. That's stressful!

If tech industry is dying, which other industry is surviving and keep inventing new thing? Lol

Oracle speedex Sep 14, 2018

Maybe there is none, but there's none that pretends so much. Which other industry has so many desk jobs and empty talk and having to play chess (which most people aren't good at) to protect their incomes?

Yes. Much stress and lack of sleep. That's why I'm requesting this evaluation to see if I'm a potential candidate for medical marijuana.

It's not the work but the level of toxicity that exists within a group. There should be a floor "Fight Club" to settle issues with some Jackhole(s) in the group to move projects forward.

Because there's less work than the army created by someone building and empire. No?

Rofl no, we build stuff and all stress is self induced. There are no doctors or police on blind. Relax people!

The reason why Blind users are depressed is that half of them are >tfw no gf and the other half are in arranged marriages with asexual women

Microsoft Kedabra Sep 14, 2018

Don't forget asexual men, and not only in arranged marriages. Just look at /r/deadbedrooms to see how men fail there too.

sure, the stress is self induced, it's just money, profit, market share and the survival of your current company. But high salaries come from high revenue and survival of the fittest in an incredibly competitive market. If I fuck up we probably lose a $10m deal .. no pressure there, it's just money, what if we lose a market segment as a result.. layoffs .. no big deal right? At the same time I think we're all eager and motivated to try to solve the hardest problem so by definition you're not always going to get it right because it's a hard problem that hasn't been solved before. That's inherently stressful.
