  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

    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?

  • Guys pretty old school so we send it to him and whenever we need repairs he comes to fix it. He’s a good dude. Is a true historian and loves this house, when we were touring the place he told us about every person who owned it after it was built in 1864

    That being said I know even the best can’t resist money, so I can only hope

  • I think the internet is turning to shit and that Google/Youtube is greedy like every other conglomerate.

    But… they have to get something from people using there services. I personally use YouTube like an iPad kid so I have premium. I like the EUs tech laws but I don’t think they should rule that a computer can’t push ads (assuming the ads are not malicious)

    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
