How do you faggots stay interested in the nitty gritty details

20 years from now, a fat, gray haired OP cries into his beer about his wife leaving him for someone who didn't have a dead end job and hadn't lost their desire to learn.

Only time I care about tech is when I'm in the market to buy a new phone or some shit. Staying up to date and following tech news is pretty tiring and lame unless you find inherent value in that sorta thing.

>running own company requires staying current with bleeding edge tech

lol no

"tech" is waaaay too broad. you really can't keep up with EVERYTHING in "tech". if you want to make money, need to be more focused. huge difference between software and hardware themselves, and even those are far too general.

Why is this always the go-to insult? It's like not having a SO is the worst possible hell you people can imagine. Does your life revolve solely around your wife/GF/whatever? Do you have absolutely no passions or hobbies or anything else in your lives except your partner?

exactly what a virgin would say

>>60361190
Actually I'm pretty sure THAT'S what a virgin would say.

>>60361190
And here it is again. If the only things you find important or meaningful in your life are sex and GFs, then your life is pathetic. Get a passion, get a purpose in life.

Marriages are hard work at the best of times, dude. If your motive to learn is to keep a girl, you must be very naive.

>I learned everything needed to know about the web in the 90', and realized any further learning would be a waste of my time.

From my post it indicates that I am able to generate enough wealth on my own to live comfortably, which does not equate to a dead end job. I am assuming you brought up the wife thing because you are jealous I can even convince a woman to marry me.

I'm talking about boring devs / engineers who work for years just tinkering with shit. Of course you don't need to be bleeding edge, you just need to be on top of your shit enough to make good decisions.

>>60361009
Good advice in general, but your advice is slightly too broad...

>>60360927
>Within those few years I learned everything needed, and realized any further learning would be a waste of my time.
Looser mentality

>>60360927

"further learning would be a waste of my time"

I stopped there. Your reasons for living are wrong.

Further learning of specific technical fields.

I learn about shit all the time, but engineers just cap out at a certain salary. You can use your brain in other ways to make much more money.

nope, it is sad how many old tech workers are clinging onto their jobs and doing almost nothing productive.

It's not the worst one can imagine, it's the worst there is.

nayeon is an uggo and basically you're retarded

>>60360945
i don't know what fucking timeline you think this is but women on average, at least the ones that aren't stupid cunts, have better paying careers than what any idiot with some it skills could ever accomplish

From a software developer perspective:

Grow a UN*X beard. New technology is all 23yo faggots re-inventing the wheel. Only this time they make it more bloated, insecure and generally worse because JavaScript.

Modern software is shit. Become a recluse and move to the terminal. Start kernel hacking. Grow a beard. Ignore normies with their JavaScript Web Cloud bullshit.

^this

Webdev is a huge Titanic that will sink and we will see webretards realizing how useless their skills are and jumping from the windows.

You're being edgy but you're unintentionally right. Look at today's web tech. Then look at what the tech was decades ago.

We had the same shit. Well, we had better shit. Because now everything is more bloated and written in JavaScript.

World would have been better off if people stopped "learning" after the 90s.

Congratulations, you have attained the psychopathic epiphany achievement. Remember that the majority of people don't realize this or lack the intelligence/means to act on their newfound way of thinking. Please keep in mind letting the sheep know that they're being used for our gain has no effect and is a sign that you have a ways to go until you attain the psychopathic enlightenment achievement. Keep on trucking fellow leader of the people.
