Ok, so you baught a computer and learned to code.
You got lucky someone would hire you without a BS
You got lucky the boomers didnt flood your industry
You got lucky losers in 2008 could sit inside clacking away and make it worth something
You got lucky you like that shit
You got lucky that industry had a boom 8 years prior
You got lucky that you could TEACH YOURSELF
You got lucky there was money tricking 8yo into spending their parenta cash
You got lucky evil men dumped shit tons of money into your industry to control everyone else
You got lucky bro. Not everyone gets lucky. I have worked my ass off my whole life. And you know what. 50% of everything is luck. Luck that you meet the people you meet, luck that you are where you are. Hard work increases your chances, but you got lucky.
What about people that aren't lucky? Or that have bad luck?
You know, you can shit on people that dont have an education, but you're lucky you don't have hard core dyslexia huh? You gonna shit on them and tell them to learn to code as the jobs they're capable of get hired out to foreigners?

It's your fault you are not where you want to be in life. An unfortunate truth you'll have to accept one day.

Its not about me dipshit. I'm fine.
Its society as a whole. Great boomer mentality though. Completely unable to grasp the circumstances of society or humans as a whole.
You ever swing a hammer in your life brother?
And just so you know, I'm just where i wanna be. I used to sell weed to paul allen, got myself a mechanical engineering degree, electrical engineering degree, electronics engineering degree, I'm a certified CNC mill and lathe operator, am certified to program E-wag 5 axis grinding machines, and am working on getting certified in assembly language so i can cut out the rest of the middle men in my buisness.
But i know i got lucky, and i dont shit on people that arent.
You got lucky, but you're also dipshit. And i know I'm an asshole, but I'm not wrong
