Please do not take this the wrong way, I am genuinely curious, apart from constant learning / re-learning, what are the other things which people don't talk about when talking about Software Engineering (developer role). I have worked as a consultant, sysadmin and developer but I was a fresher (when developer) at a $BIG_FIRM and everything had a process (Requirement gathering, analysis, etc. etc.) so it was not that Agile. curious to see how it is right now.
