Yeah once i realized that nothing lasts very long in it, it started to feel like a pointless job. But it makes good money. But in the end, its just new frameworks and languages to learn forever so you never feel like you actually are an expert at anything.

Networking is a good field though. If you are an expert in networking and devops, it really helps with a lot of troubleshooting and networking so you can easily run a homelab. Those skills actually last and are useful every day.

I cant bring myself to be interested in Ai though. Im just not excited about training models.

I feel sorry for 1990s people doing my job. When they moved a paper process to a highly automated IT solution they halved our workforce. When we do the same we get people moved to more valuable work

Government IT is rewarding but is also so dependent on political processes.

Yea… Tho I’d argue that’s true of most jobs nowadays. Nothing, or somehow less than. Joining the work force has been a very depressing experience so far. Any ambition of learning and or contributing getting annihilated. It’s a compromise that allows me to have a roof and food at the end of the month without living at my parents.

If me and my wife had a daughter, this could be funnier:

  • I don't have a daddy
  • See above
  • See above
  • The destruction of the patriarchy

I mean, the questions could have been constructed for the student, because the teacher would know the kid has a dad.

It's an issue but not the point of this.
