Professional Technology Switch Question
  • Interesting that’s partially why I thought going lower end would be better. More no code / AI tools seem to be taking the higher end applications by storm. Lower end is more complex and critical so I figured the jobs there would be better. Also with the addition of new chip architecture I figured the industry would have their work cut out for them

  • Professional Technology Switch Question

    Hello everyone,

    I am a developer with 3+ years of experience with full stack technology so mostly .Net and React along with some side projects in other languages. I wanted to ask if anyone has had any luck moving from high-end projects, to lower end projects(C++). I've become extremely interested in lower level projects like, embedded programming, firmware, drivers, compatibility layers but I don't have any professional experience in those fields.

    I understand that projects like these are high priority so they are less interested in taking a risk for a Dev without professional experience in C, C++, or Rust, even if they liked the candidate. I just wanted some insight

    Who is/was a great role model for your generation of boys/men?
  • My parents were shit but he always made sure I was taken care of. Did his best to protect me from adult issues and even though his son, my dad, has screwed home over a lot, he has never talked poorly about my dad to me. He’s just a man’s man and I try to let him know he’s the one who made me what I am today.

  • Santacon was fun this year

    Cool to see everyone pull up even with the rain

    I am once again asking for SWE Career advice
  • I am but I think they are not as open to change as they want to be because the only technical person on this team is an ex developer who works as a contractor. He admitted to me that he hates coding and I think hes just there for a 9-5 which is cool, but he's not open to improvements it seems.

  • For software devs, which job to pick
  • Ya I chose the safe job, I thought about it and the other job was reallly similar to my last one so I thought I’d at least get new experience while I wait for the Software market to bounce back a bit more

  • MW3(new) doesn’t seem as bad as people say

    I’m a pc guy but came from console, so I haven’t play cod in years. I’m way more excited for CS2 but I got the new COD to play with some friends.

    I know people talk about how awful it is but I’m actually enjoying the gameplay. My biggest gripe rn is the UI. I can’t figure out how anything works but sitting down and getting a kill every 2 min is classic COD and pretty fun

    Construction workers rally with striking Portland teachers. "When we saw teachers picketing out front, many people picked up their stuff and left for the day. We're trying to build solidarity there."
  • Shit like this makes me happy, I’m a white collar guy from a blue-collar family. I wish people just realize all work sucks and the people who are actually working are not the cause of any of your problems.

    The reason I say this is because I have an ant that a teacher and my uncle works in a factory. both jobs are incredibly hard and I would not want them. They both deserve better.

  • Software devs, I need advice

    Will taking a job in one sector set my career path

    Hey I’ve been pretty luck last week and I managed to get 2 job offers.

    One is a good gig at a massive, old school financial group. I’m talking I have to wear a suit and tie. My biggest worry though is the tech is old and my coworkers and higher ups don’t seem bleeding edge so I doubt I’ll be flexing my developer muscles. Plus they have a volleyball intramural league

    The other company is contracted for 6 months with a really cool tech IoT company. Job through Insight Global, Full remote, Has amazing Glassdoor reviews, cool projects, I crushed their technical interview so I feel like I can actually contribute.

    I’m leaning towards the financial group because money matters and I want to feel secure.

    What I’m worried about is after 2 years I’ll be 27 and I’m scared that working as a SWE for a financial group won’t look as good so I’ll never be able to work on a project that I’m passionate about again

    Any advice?

    Is it actually possible to change your personality

    This isn’t meant to be a negative post. I wanted to tweak how I handle some things and have gotten better but I it made me think.

    Could you turn someone 360 completely? Like from a freak to a mighty, a chad to a chud, a person to a stealers fan?

    FPS gripe

    I used to be a console gamer. Bo2 on the Xbox 360 was my favorite game of all time. I moved to csgo, once I got a pc.

    My gripe with fps games on the deck is it doesn’t feel like a console fps, it feels like a pc game. I obviously understand why but I wish I could think of a way to change that. The controls just feel awful to me
