  1. Exactly. You said it much better than I did. When I say it doesn't "matter" I mean it isn't worth stressing yourself to death about it, not that it isn't useful work. The world won't end (even if your entire IT company disappears!). What if Google went away tomorrow? Would the world end? Is Google useful, sure.

    Yes, you should be grateful, but you are an ungrateful self centered little shit. Common malady.

    " and I'd rather be outside moving around and getting shit done... even if it is tough physical work. "

    You just said that. What are you getting so upset about snowflake? Go do it then.

  4. That is the exact definition of "fake". You stress yourself out because you "want to remain employed with your current company" because idiots like you think that "having the work done on time" really matters. It really doesn't. You aren't important and neither is your "work". Oh and shut up and about software that "controls/drives cars, etc". None of that is crucial. Amazingly, we had cars and airplanes and nuclear reactors before software was invented. And I am not talking 200 years ago, try 50. You probably think you are super important, but you aren't. If your company vanished tomorrow, it really wouldn't matter.

    Yes, but the stress that tech people experience is completely fake. It REALLY doesn't matter if your work is done on time. It really doesn't. It isn't essential. No one is going to die if your software or network doesn't work. And don't give me that BS about "medical software or emergency systems". Amazingly humans survived for thousands of years without IT or computers. If Google disappeared tomorrow it wouldn't really matter. It would be disruptive: but no one would die. And Google is more integrated into our society than most IT companies. And if you get fired from your IT job, you can get another. Real stress is not knowing where your next dollar is coming from.

    Try working construction for minimum wage and not knowing where your next job will come from. Then have your blood pressure tested.

    Did you know the reason marijuana is illegal is because of the cotton industry didn't want the hemp industry to happen? Some guy told me that at a concert once. Blew my mind. Hemp is much superior to cotton. That is why people who smoke pot love hemp. They are intensely interested in material science.
