At the beginning of the year/end of last year I learned how little expertise, professionalism and …

TBH I think Information Systems Engineering and Computer Engineering can just eat software engineers lunch at this point. the entire need for a separate engineering discipline on software was for low level coding. Custom hardware chips are easier to make for simple things and not a lot of need in low level coding anymore for more complex things means the focus is shifting back to either hardware choices or higher level system management I'd argue the only places left you really need low level coding fall under computer science. If you are a computer or systems engineer who needs to work with a lot of code then youll benefit from having exposure to computer science, but an actual engineering discipline for just software seems silly now. Not to mention pretty much all engineers at this point are configuring software tools on their own to some degree I think it's similar to how there used t…

> I believe what we need to wake up to or come to terms with is that our industry (everything that would go into NASDAQ) is a farce. the thing is, with software development, it's always been this way. Developers have just had tunnel vision for decades because they stare into an editor all day long instead trying to actually sell a product. If selling wasn't the top priority then what do you think would happen to your direct deposit? Software developers, especially software developers, live in this fantasy land where the believe their paycheck just happens automatically and always will. I think it's becoming critical that new software devs entering the workforce spend a couple years at a small, eat what you kill, consultancy or small business. Somewhere where they can see the relationship between building, selling, and their paycheck first hand.
