What exactly do you program? What kind of applications are they?

What language?

How did you get the job?

How much experience?

Etc.

we need more info OP

I cope by revelling in the fact that I get paid to shitpost on 4chan. I do 5 hours of actual work a week. the rest of the time is just ingenious ways to waste time

>What exactly do you program? What kind of applications are they?

Web applications.

Javascript, node.js and angular 2 particularly,

>How did you get the job?
Web application and then interview.

>How much experience?

I was working at a startup for a year before this. Graduated with bachelor last spring.

It's paying 75k which is more than I've been offered anywhere else.

I think part of my problem is most of my coworkers are in their 40s and I feel like I don't relate with them much. Also I may have some depression issues.

Yeah I end up reading hacker news for like 40% of the day.

I work in a cubicle which is not very private so I can't risk browsing 4chan. I have to waste my time with shit that at least looks work related.

Have you considered a side-project? Video-game design?

Become an alcoholic, problem solved

>>61178457
Yeah I actually have a decent idea for a side project but I'm exhausted when I get home.

I get home, shower, eat dinner, shitpost on 4chan for a bit then go to sleep.

How so?

I'm actually drinking right now.

Like fucking clockwork.

Do yourself a favor and just get into side projects with desktop-oriented languages or learn Python scripting. Not at home, but at work. If you have so much time to read HN uninterrupted, you have enough time to sock away some time at your projects at work. Consider using the time to read textbooks on other langs/tech via pdf files. That's what I do at my job.

I guess I should focus the thread more it's kind of broad.

I'm really just trying to gauge if my level of boredom at work is abnormal.

Are any of you significantly bored at work everyday? and how do you cope with this?

What do you mean by this? Is depression common among programmers or something?

No wonder. Abandon javashit and return your sanity.

>>61178633
I like node.js though :3

Just drink while you're working. I spend all day welding, watching animu on my phone while fabricating.

>>61178686
And you get drunk?

Haven't you developed a drinking problem yet?

>>61178500
There is a way around this, but It does kind of suck. When you get off work, you must go to the gym. Immediatley. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Go to the gym, work out, and come home with enough energy to do things.

>>61178693
I don't get drunk, maybe 2, 3 drinks during a 10 hour shift.

>>61178366
kill yourself

> and frankly I'm just fucking bored a lot. I feel despair knowing how much time I have left until I can leave the office and go home.

Really? Throw javashit away and cure yourself.

Tell your boss and ask him if you can have fun at work browsing reddit or some shit like that

>>61178414
Well no shit, webdeving is boring as shit
