I was a little unsure of which category to choose for my work as a developer of consumer electronics software. "Embedded" means different things to different people -- some people reserve the term for microcontroller-level devices. "Systems programming" seems closer, but the "/ Desktop apps" bit had me running back to the embedded category.
For what it's worth, I think it's a great part of the programming world to be in. :)
- vonmoltke 10y agoI picked multiple, based on what I have to do. I write NLP software, so I ticked front-end (make GUIs in Angular), back-end (make REST/WebSocket APIs for gluing our software together), AI/ML (that is the core of most advanced NLP software), and systems/desktop (since we need to package and deploy our software in self-contained packages). I hope I didn't screw up the metrics. :/
- jventura 10y agoI did the same as you. For instance, when I do webdev I'm mostly unhappy (web frontend sucks big time for me!), but when doing desktop or other, I change my "happiness" numbers.. Don't know if it screws the metrics as well..
