maybe if you want to be genuinely good at it, but GC has put a shit ton of effort into finding ways for idiots who have no idea what they're doing to hold down programming jobs by just copy-pasting code off of Stack Overflow that does something kind of similar to what they're trying to achieve

most of the time that's good enough

In my experience a small group of engineers at a company (<20% of them) do all the high-quality work and set the technical framework for the software. The other engineers then spaghettify the code, introduce more bugs than they fix, and create a barely functioning, bug-ridden, insecure piece of shit.

Also, tech companies intentionally hire more engineers than they actually need for various non-tech reasons (prepare for IPO/acquisition/etc., boosting their stock price, marketing purposes, unstated diversity quotas, internal office politics).

No such thing as mathmitical IQ. IQ is, by definition, general inteligence.

What IQ do you have to have to not want to kill yourself to end the boredom after being a coder for two full days of work?

The stress is a feature, not a bug. Imagine having to law without someone ready to scream at you for fucking up or taking too long. I don't think I'd last a week.

can you describe your journey and path to freedom, I feel a certain affinity toward you, from what I've garnered from your lifestyle I'd like to imitate it

yeah no problem friend

I'm not completely free, I'm still a wagecuck, but I think I'm making the best of it.

tl:dr - It took about a year and a half, but I needed a day job to pay the bills during that time. I learned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, spent a lot of time practicing them in a tangible way on codepen.io, then started building projects. Got a start working for next to free at an early stage startup that failed, and used that experience to get a well-paying position at an established company.

Will post the detailed version later this evening when I have time to write it up.

105. smart enough to know matrix theory, but not curious enough to question business rules.
