Why on Earth would a website have offices in two of the most expensive zip codes in the US?

Move that shit to Gary, Indiana....and then buy an old warehouse for $100 and move your "writers" in it.

Gary, Indiana is literally third world. Why not go to Africa so you can have an army of servants too.

You can literally put it wherever you want as long as you have internet access.

And you don't need servants....you pay servants. You need interns....they work for free....

Yeh but there is way more exploitable labor in Africa. Like imagine having 2 million workers.

Lol....you haven't lived until you made a rich, white hipster miserable on a daily basis.

It's literally the only reason to work in the media.

Lmao you are a man of culture. I didn't even consider that. The only way to improve that idea is to subtly get them to support right wing ideas. The ultimate form of cuckoldry.

Because the people in charge of the company didn't want to live in Gary Indiana, they wanted to have their executive job in a prestigious location to have an executive job.

And that is why the business model continues to fail....

Because its all about connecting and you cant connect unless you meet face to face meaning being forced to live in those areas. And ironically enough if you do telecommute to your blog job then you are usually first up on the chopping block. Literally the only website i know of that doesn't exclusively hire people and has real estate in the richest parts of the US is babylon bee and formerly 4chan. Which is probably why the bee is the only website that turned a profit this decade

Reasonable

Another reason is that journalists are all leftists faggots which means they dont want to live in Trump country (aka anywhere where rent is less than $2 a square foot).

It went from r/conservative to r/the_donald

Its part of my culture to speak this way

skrrt skrrt my heart hurt

Mostly unrelated but damn I miss seeing PK here arguing how Gawker being dunked on by Hulkamania and a Gay Billionaire wasn't a completely awesome event. The seethe from him about the whole ordeal was delicious.

Is he banned or what?

I think he just grew up.

what a homo

Nah he just took his dumb elsewhere.

Anyone who was ever talented who worked there moved on long ago

College Humor, that’s a name I haven’t heard since I was in middle school...

To be fair, shouldnt college humor be staffed by people in their 20s anyway?

If I ever see you in real life I'll fucking make you eat cement. You got that, bitch? If it wasn't your mom coming downstairs to the basement each night to bring you a plate of chicken tenders, you would be dead with droll running into the cracks of your cheeto dust covered keyboard. I bet you weight about 400 pounds and have a string tied to your dick you use so you can piss. The fact you have to keep making new accounts suggest you need a new hobby. Stop being a piece of shit troll and find something creative to do. You only have so much time left before your arteries clog and Coonrod lowers your 2000 pounds casket into the ground with a fucking crane.

unironically if you learn assembly for a common industry chipset like some microcontroller used in automotives or a PLD used in factory machine controllers or a DSP used in cell phones/towers you would be offered a job in a heartbeat. learning how to clob together a worthless GUI in python is not learning to code lmao

What software needs to be written for those that hasn’t already?

any time a chip goes in something new it's prob gonna need new software you brainlet

So there are dudes making big dollar because the temperature sensor in the new widget has a different range of output voltages?

you'd be surprised

No.

New people making money with low level programming work in: automotive because cars are in the proccess of getting tons of cameras and blinky lights, wearable devices because investors shit out money when someone tells them you can wear a watch with a calendar on your arm and a small portion in smart homes for the same reason. Coding cell towers or factory controllers is for boomers that aren't going to be dead for another 30 years, and by the time they retire everyone'll just use full-size computers programmed normally because they're so cheap even indians can afford them.

Also everyone writes in C, assembly is a LARP.

this

its firmware not software

What are you, a librarian or a programmer?

im the hacker known as Fortran

If you believe car manufacturers want some rando who insists he REALLY knows assembly then ur fuckin dumb

i believe anything i want to believe

Yeah, but Assembly is fucking hard. Why learn Assembly when you have a good chance of making the same money if Java, C or C++? (And those are on the harder side)

Bro I write swift and make bank. Despite being made by Apple it really is a great language and it’s pretty easy.

Bc he learned to code on a ti83

The fastest way you can get good money out of coding is learning front end website design. Everyone needs a website, the stakes are low, and the tools are plentiful. You can farm contractor sites for website jobs without quitting your actual job.

Also who uses python to make guis? I'm sure someone does, but that's not what most people use it for. You can knock python all you want, but it's the fastest way to prototype an app. I grow less convinced runtime speed is a valid reason to choose a language. You have c/Fortran libraries for the heavy lifting anyway.

i was talking out my ass bussy. youre right about python ive used it for a lot of quick projects

Why would you admit fault on the net? Never argue about any topic you know anything about, it's just asking for trouble.

shut up loser nerd u can suck on my gui python, i bet u kiss girls faegit

Get Woke, Go Broke episode 126

Ya this shit became irrelevant after the jake and amir days

Huh, I thought they were doing well. Goes to show.

Nah they fell off the radar years ago. I remember they were the shit when I was in middle school, this is the first news I’ve heard about them in years.

Speaking of 00s era internet humor, I'm surprised Donald Glover's derrickcomedy stuff hasn't gotten him cancelled. We have footage of him saying "I want to rape your daughter", "girls are not to be trusted", and combining the two "double g" slurs into one superyikes.

It's not woke to notice when black people kill rape etc...

Otherwise crime statistics would be mentioned more often.

This other article about another comedy website shutting down blames big Zucc for the shutdown. Appearantly he moved in between College Humor and the clicks and snatched the advertiser's money away.
