For a while I worked in video decoding/encoding. That was true engineering. I loved reading up about cache and assembly and then applying this knowledge to our code. It was ok to work on one function for weeks just to get 20% speed up. Now I do enterprise and it’s just horrible. Between dealing with stakeholders and 3rd party systems that barely work there is no room for systematic engineering.
- burntoutfire 7y agoMay I ask why did you move from codecs into enterprise software?
- Ididntdothis 7y agoI was never an expert in video and during 2008 my company went down. The only position I found after a while was doing C#/.NET. Outside Silicon Valley there are not too many hardcore dev roles anyway and in addition I feel a lot of that work is done in Asia now.
