If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.
Usually it’s because they’re not hiring, but some people are just that lucky.
…Maybe keep your kinks in the bedroom where they belong rather than get your jollies simping for a boss everybody else will have to put up with as well.
Probably not a lot of open positions (well, not of the sort they’re looking for, at any rate) in the bedroom though
Being a scientist could have been so fun and satisfying
“Do you love being a scientist? Or do you love the IDEA of being a scientist?” - something I’ve been thinking a lot about recently…
Plenty of people thought that I will be a scientist but I did one standard deviation calculation for a test and noped out of the idea.
remember kids: being a scientist is just fucking around according to a plan, then writing down what you found out.
I’ve worked as a scientist for around 10 years (and as a research programmer in various labs for 5-6 years before that) and have never done a standard deviation calculation.
Because the automated tools do it for you, right?
Right???
See, when I was in grad school I once had to calculate an agreement metric from a bunch of labels on a corpus. No problem I said, the math is easy, I can write a script in an hour or so. Fam that mfing script took me two freaking days bc there were always some little bugs or weird edge cases I hadn’t thought of. So the deal I made with myself was: I would use Matlab or a stats library or something like that, BUT I would make sure that I understood the math beforehand.
But for whatever reason, I never had to calculate a standard deviation. Thinking about it, someone else might have done that for papers I was co-author on, though.
Bro thinks the D in PhD stands for Daddy
Punish me harder Daddy
Lucky you.
Or you could do equally the same being yelled at by a female boss. It happens 😁
So… Just like general-purpose software development? I hope you get to work without LLMs.
These comments are almost there.
You’ll end up working with passive aggressive geeks that are somehow defensive of their shitty code.
They’ll be great at understanding the domain though

Oh I wouldn’t bet on that
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
