Do you build houses then? ;)
- personjerry 9y agoProduction, Site Reliability, Machine Learning and AI, Security, Network, as some other examples of software developers.
- MikeTheGreat 9y agoGenuine question: what does a Production Software Developer do?
- celim307 9y agoIn my last teams it was a lot of infrastructure. Deployment, disaster recovery, failover, provisioning, build processes, maybe even building the testing pipeline, etc. Can't speak for other companies
- vr3690 9y agoMaybe most of those roles can be lumped under devops. They probably don't have enough data to for ml/ai
- verall 9y agoSystems? Embedded, drivers, OS, microcontroller, etc. Is it that rare to be a "close to the metal" developer? Or is that where people draw the line between developer and "engineer"?
- EpicEng 9y agoIt's not, we just don't post on SO often because there's about a 0% chance our questions will get a response :)

- EpicEng 9y agoI do embedded, image processing, some CV, and general systems level stuff in biotech. I can do desktop and web dev as needed, but it's not my focus, and none of the options in that list describe a position I would apply for. [Adding this text to test if I can post as long as I don't post the same exact text in my seemingly haunted, un-deletable comment attached to my OP.] Edit: It worked!
