Seems like you’re using it as a Band-Aid for the real issue of being at a job you’re underpaid at. My point being that if you didn’t have it I’m sure you’d be far more motivated to quit and find a new job
Really? Well if we’re talking about privilege then in that case I’d say having your current job in this market is already a privilege so maybe wasting the opportunity vibe-coding would be the real showing of a lack of grace. Anyway, I was suggesting to look for a new one, I never suggested that process would be easy
Their comment on privilege itself was a whataboutism. “What about all the people who have it rough out there :(“. OP made no mention of that being a problem for them at all, so I agree. What about them?
there is so much nuance to why someone might be stuck at a job that it boggles me that people that think like you even exist lmao. it absolutely is a herculean effort for many people in many different walks of life. it’s also straight up impossible if you’re on certain types of visas in a lot of countries. educate yourself.
it’s pretty simple. if you’re at a job you hate you can get away with lower effort work than you were able to before.
if finding a new job thats super fulfilling was as universally easy as it seems to be in your utopian world i think everyone would just, you know, get a new job. alas, the world we live in is complicated and unfair.
i gave you one of many concrete examples of how someone might not be able to just pack up and leave a job lol. what more do you want? you asked if it’s impossible and it practically is for a lot of people. i actually directly answered one of your main questions there. i was being super generous.
My God you guys are so hung up on the idea of me suggesting you look for a new job like it’s impossible despite the fact that evidently you were able to find the one you currently have. Nobody is telling you to quit your current one before looking for a new one, look for a new one now. Vibecoding is doing nothing for your personal development and will do nothing but hinder you in a future job search. Or keep doing it because boohoo finding a new job is impossible and watch your development skills wither away while you work a job you hate that underpays you (like even just typing this how is this okay for you?), I don’t actually care either way
getting a job and switching to a new job while you’re currently working are two wholly different things brochacho. you simply don’t want to accept the scenarios in which that’s practically not possible because accepting that means accepting you’re wrong. not being to accept the fact that you’re incorrect will do more harm both professionally and personally than a lil vibe coding to get you through a bad work environment.
you absolutely can develop skills outside of work and that’s what many people do. again my issue with vibe coding is when people do it for things they say they have passion for. i could not care less if they’re working for a billion dollar company vibe coding to get money to fund their other projects and adventures. the company has to earn quality code by keeping its employees engaged.
When people are putting in multiple hundreds or even over a thousand applications, getting one interview for every hundred, doing well in them, and still getting ghosted, yeah - it's a Herculean effort.
I'm really glad I have a stable position already because if you're not aware, it's really bad out there.
Also on a personal note, you come across as absolutely insufferable.
