I would like to apply for this software engineer job where all you do is press enter. I'm willing to work from home or go to the office everyday. I will press enter on holidays and weekends as well.
I know some people think like you, but it's the most soul crushing shit in the world when all you do is wait for others.
Corporate jobs has always been soul crushing, and that's why the cushy office jobs pays nicely. Because it drains you
I like where your head is at but I'm an Enter pressing purist. Scripts fail and don't give you the the confidence to know your true enter pressing quantity.
If the company wants enter pressing slip then scripts are the way to go. If they want to know with 100% accuracy no enter presses were skipped then I'm their guy.
Oo! Them! Hire this one!!
Their resume says "Enter Pressing Specialist" so they have the edge
😂
Claude tested my script, all I had to do was press enter
/s in case it wasn't obvious
Will you accept a $20,000 a year salary without dental and vision?
Depends on how many times I need to hit enter during my 8 hour shift. If it's something like 200 times then yes. If you need something more like 7,200 enters pressed in an 8 hour shift then that would break down to 15 enters per minute which requires a little more dedication. I that event I would like to ask for $23,000 a year.
I would also like for the company to pay for any repairs or replacement of my Enter button in the event something stops working.
20.000 a year without hope or prospects.
