Working at Mcdonalds was infinitely more mentally harder than the 1500 hours I have poured into game development, programming, design and art.

Prove me wrong.

Hint, only mcdonalds workers can prove me wrong and all the people that were good at the job will agree with me. So many people only do 1/4 of the job at mcdonalds and thats why your order is always wrong.

pic related. Moron has no idea I make games.

honestly it is. You have to clock in when you really don't want to, and then look at a screen of 20 orders of big macs and then put them together. fucking tough and draining :( devs don't deserve to eat

How the fuck you’re able to code, design and art, yet you’re worked at McDonald’s? Are you retarted and you code in html?

>> No.53549576

Of course it's harder, you're basically being extorted to do something you don't want to do at all.

>game development
The way you talk about it makes it sound like a personal project. Now try turning that into a career with a company and shareholders / whatever and see how easy that is. It's really the same thing: work that you don't want to do, which is always harder than work that you actually feel like benefits you as a person and feels rewarding.

Congrats, you've learned how the world works where there's little correlation between effort and earnings.

Being forced to shove cocaine up your ass and mule for a cartel for $0 is harder than a McWaging.

Being snatched off the street and enlisted in the Ukie army for like $100 per month and a 90% chance of a Russian drone dropping a grenade on your head while you're asleep is a lot harder than the shittiest minimum wage janitor position in the US.

Being a billionaire with multiple companies staffed by high-skilled minions running everything is pretty easy. You can lay in bed for a whole week and you will still earn vastly more than the guy breaking his back in winter to climb up 200 ft and repair a windmill.

Mindlessly filling orders is mentally draining because it is not stimulating.
However judging by your English skills I think you actually had a hard time taking down peoples orders or remembering them, so you're just some retarded jeet who makes shit games and has an overinflated self worth.

It was 20x easier to l2code and get a bullshit degree to break into the industry then it was to go through nursing school. Nursing school is way easier, but way more draining and tedious, whereas l2code was so straight-forward it felt like a checklist. I knew x and y, which was relevant to the jobs I applied for and then I learned the rest on the job. With Nursing, you have no fucking clue what could happen. Every day is a gamble.

So I get the logic OP, I agree.

Mcdonalds is only "mentally hard" if you have free thought, because no matter what your are doing or how well you are doing you know in the back of your head not only are you too good to be working there, but you are also paid far to little for what you do. It isn't actually hard on any level. You take order, you make them, and you hand them out. It could only be considered "hard" if you are running a busy store all by your self.

Developing games isn't a real job either.

People on the internet have no idea what they're talking about. You should ignore their arguments most of the time as they're separated from context at all times.
This includes you, you have no idea what you're talking about, "mentally hard" is not an objective metric and you should consider that just once maybe you'd said something stupid

>> No.53554483

I turned it into a pleasant experience waging by trying to see how much of the store I could take over and getting my numbers good. I liked being able to take an order and have the entire process finished by only me in 3 minutes while the other dude cleaned. I also liked figuring out flaws in the system to steal money. Easiest way I figured out was taking a cash order and not ringing in the receipt, then saving it to run later when a slightly lower value ticket came through that was paying card. Do this a couple times and you would have a $50 cash order worked down to only a $4 order that you could cancel without suspicion, and the amounts people were paying were only about $3-4 away from their actual order price

OP, I 100% agree. It is harder. I often think about how ungodly easy my job is. I was a software engineer for two years and after getting two consecutive promotions at leBigCorp TM, i am essentially a manager. Like other anons have said, its not about work. Honestly its barely about intelligence, at least in the midtwit book/skillsmart ways retards like the one quoted above think. Its almost entirely positioning yourself to succeed in the future (Always progress, Always look for likely/consistent wins, and ALWAYS only take risks that you are okag with losing) and a little bit of luck ties into how fast that success snowball starts.
Anyone saying otherwise is midtwit ego.
This doesnt invalidate grinding either, grinding lets you essentially roll more so you have more opportunities to succeed if you continue to put yourself in good positions

Yes low wage jobs are hard and exhausting.
Higher tier ones generally take a lot of time and organising.
Some people are just not smart enough for those though. Like I give clear step by step instructions for months on how to do things (semi semi tech) and they manage to fuck up. I show it with images, they fuck up. I talk to them in person, they fuck up then forget everything. I correct them, and guess what happens next. Then there are people who don't need any instructions or need it ONCE. There are both men and women in these two categories.
Idk if it's an IQ issue or something but people are very obviously not equal and a Mcjob is the best some can do.

It depends on what the work is. There's a massive number of fake companies which do nothing and the devs just churn out crap day in and out because that's what is asked of them.
There are also companies who are pushing technology in some useful way, and the dev work there can be impossibly complicated.

Neither of these can be replaced by AI. In the former, the ones who tell devs what to do can't even operate Excel half the time. You think they're going to manage prompting and testing? lol
The latter is genuinely at the forefront of civilization, and if AI could do it then humanity would become redundant.
