Whats up Ran!, Great read on a day of bad news. But I agree with Jader201, its hard to be happy even if I'm personally successful. There are so many struggling. Maybe its cause I grew up playing competitive team sports. But seeing so many smart engineers out of work or pushed around is a shame. Its a choice to help others and make their happiness a priory. There are just so many people having a hard time right now. Personally, It hurts to see.
I just cant put blinders on and focus on myself. Wish I could.
Your are not the only one, this game was rigged from the start. At 24 years old I tried to started my own businesses to employ my friends who did not have the same opportunities. My business failed, do to an employe error. The police and the EPA went after me like it was the BP oil spill. I'll be paying the IRS or the Franchise tax board 40% of what I make for the rest of my life. Cops and robbers have teamed up and the average American citizen is caught in the cross fire. Currently I am reduced to farm out my skills to international corporations. I'm considered lucky to have a job working 12 hours a day.
I believe the tech workers should be moving towards private unions to get standard wages and mentor programs. We need to move away from this dog eat dog individualistic suppository programmer complex.
Most tech managers are just trying to suck the life out you to further promote their career with zero consideration for you well being.
Of course you can go work for a Google or another large corporate outfit. Remember that for every job we hold we are cutting an unknown number of American jobs.
Food for thought, there is a special place in hell for the greedy and traitorous. Personally I feel as a part of the high tech sector we are heading in that direction. No one stands up for worker rights in high tech.
I like to git push to my CI server and from there build packages for the env I'm working in. Nice and quick roll back, delete package reinstall. Git pull does not scale well and with Fabric in the wrong hands is really slow.
