This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I literally started learning how to program like months before the whole "AI will take your job on an by the way we don't hire JR devs anymore" so I gave up on it...

I just got to the point where I could consider buying a house months before COVID.

I had thought about joining the military to learn some skills for "free" and graduated highschool exactly when Bush decided Iraq needed to be invaded for ~~oil~~ God knows what reason. Even as a dumb 17 year old I saw right through that and said fuck no.

I completed a trade school 4 months before "the great recession."

If God existed he would be Lucy holding a fucking football and I'm Charlie Brown...

I'm still trying to figure that one out to be honest. I need to leave the state I'm in if I have any hope for a future that isn't living in someone else's garage.

Also I see your username, you should know what I'm aiming for next so you can screw me! Lol :P

There's a ton of work in green energy and water management.

When Harris wins, there will be even more federal funding being dumped into these sectors. However a ton of that work is either going to be labor intensive or require a specific education (or both).

Also, the software engineering field isn't going to be replaced by AI any time soon (if ever). What will happen is that AI will become a tool of skilled engineers to increase their output efficiency, consistency, and quality.
