My God, are we working the same job? Have you ever found a job that was not just gluing things together?
- TeMPOraL 8y agoNot yet. I hear that these jobs exist, but I seem to be consistently unable to find them.
- smolder 8y agoCompanies with the interesting jobs are not as profitable as those with glue-things-together jobs, and aren't hiring. In fact, I hear they're looking to get out of that business entirely. It'll soon be glue, all the way down, with university partnerships so kids can pay tuition to invent new stuff before they graduate to glue land.
- imranq 8y agoReal programming jobs exist and pay a lot. You have to be extremely good though - more like a mathematician or a CS researcher. Some examples: C++ Latency programmer for HFT funds, Staff Research Engineer at Google, AI Research at DeepMind/OpenAI
