     today at work: a coworker was telling me how amazing PHP was and the same with JS and Python, but somehow sperged about how Java was old shit. Yes that was his criticism of Java, "it's old".

     I only mentioned Java because he was bragging about how easy Python was to write (never mind the 2.7/3 split) and I know Java will run on shit like IBM mainframes and IA64.
     
     He was also talking about how amazing C# was, how C++ and C syntax was shit, and basically having zero knowledge of Windows NT internals other than "A GUY AT MS TOLD ME WINDOWS DOESN'T CHANGE BUT ALSO GETS WORSE".

     Funny thing is I haven't even done programming much and yet somehow I know more about computers than "knowitalls" who can talk big but have gaps in talking or say YEAH YEAH ITS GOOD OR SOMETHING.

     the other day at work a coworker got into a loud argument about how I don't know shit about computers as he was explaining how a computer would network load a BIOS from a PXE server.
     
     This is a "tech job" with zero standards for hiring, just "can someone please work our late into the night hours"? They care a shitload about NDAs but literally only give a shit about "are the numbers high" on the floor itself.

     Oh cool. At my college when I went circa 2013-5 everyone was a soyed up redditor who wanted to make video games by taking "Linux Administration 1".
     
     That would ironically be the most important class I would ever take in college because now I use Linux a lot, I wanted to {REDACTED} the bluehairs who force you to take history and math to learn programming and computers though but I love to mock retards online who think they're hot shit for going to college for some time or eternally grind in college.

     Look in Ohio the only people who get those jobs are those types, same with college.
     
     If you are socially awkward you're too busy joining furry groups on Telegram, or your dad drives a Tesla and can give you a slick job at his firm (which isn't bad if you don't hate your parents).

     I had crazy UNIX workstations. It wasn't enough to get me a slick tech job.
     
     I'm sure if I changed my pronouns I could get employed.

     Everyone I know is some online friend in another state. And the thing with online friends is one day they're your friend, the next they're literally spreading hot spicy drama about you in DMs and some top secret Discord/TG group.
     
     IRL friends? Heh, I don't even have any and my neighbor became a drug addict who consooms pop culture.

     Basically I'm convinced I could make more friends online being some weird internet creative type than solely in the tech circles I'm in, of course you also have to deal with different schizos there.
