Let's settle this. Who is the better programmer, West

mexicans.

>>62467906
The /g/ NEET with Arch on his Thinkpad, obviously. Work is for wagecucks.

africans.

>>62467945
Obviously, but that is not one of the options.

>>62467945
DESU I'd rather have the greasy unkempt guy who once spent 3 weeks fixing his linux driver issues working on my project than some dude in a suit who did a bootcamp on how to use meme frameworks.

>work hours 10am-7pm
how do you people defend such bullshit?

>>62468008
what's wrong with those

>>62468021
first of all, that's 9 working hours so you can go fuck off right off the bat.
Second that time is fucking retarded, you basically waste the entire day

Put on a tie so you can take a rammed subway to work for your soulless corporation at 6AM for ten fucking hours taking a break to eat a hotdog from some illegal immigrant to then spend all your money waiting in line to get into some shitty nightclub so you can order a woman's drink.


Why would you ever be a programmer on the east coast?

>>62468039
6am-4pm is 10 working hours, you waste one hour more each day with that option. what are you even counting?

>>62468095
wew I didn't even see that, do people enjoy slavery? Holy fuck the rest of the civilized world has 8 working hours as the norm, everything else is overtime and paid accordingly

>>62468041
Wait in standstill traffic for 2 hours so you can try (and fail) to work in an "open" office layout full of distractions taking a break to pay your own fucking boss your own fucking money for a shitty chicken salad, then drink with the coworkers who keep wasting your time in teambuilding meetings for 2 hours at a bar that smells like ass and that women refuse to visit.

Why would you ever be a programmer on the west coast?

>>62468113
I work 10-5 and that includes half an hour for breakfast and an hour for lunch.

>>62468113
>everything else is overtime and paid accordingly

Fuck memes. I'm an east coast guy. I haven't worn shoes other than flip flops to work since April, I wear a t shirt every day. It's 8-5 with a 1 hour break for lunch which the company buys me. I commute to work in a challenger hellcat. It's only 5 miles. I drive a beater if the weather sucks. My company has been around for almost 20 years, but it's a small company. My weekend fun is going to see a local band play. And my mad men drink is a gin and tonic or gin martini, stirred. Shaken and vodka martinis are for fucking plebs.

Is this thread comparing lifestyles or programming competence?

>>62469902
/g/ only pretends to program, so neither

>>62468137
