I think jaded developers get jaded.
I'm hardly a spring chicken, but despite watching the industry rediscover the same things over and over, thinking they are discovering something new, and despite the industry looking almost nothing like when I started, and despite all of the crazy broken ways things get done... I _still_ get goosebumps over how excited I am to be working on software.
Getting jaded is giving up. I'll give up when I'm dead.
- dasil003 9y agoSure, I'm 20 years into my software career (with another 10 dabbling as a child) and I still feel that same excitement about the actual work. But the interview process? I went basically 18 years without a serious interview on the strength of my reputation, and then I jumped head first into the modern SV interview process and suffice it to say I got extremely jaded extremely quickly.
- dchichkov 9y agoIf you'd been interviewed in that way, probably you didn't want that position anyway. Unless it was an interview with Google, in that case they advertise upfront - they have high false negative rate. BTW - if you are looking and interested in autonomous driving / NVIDIA, ping me on LinkedIn. Same user ID as on HN.
