Unfortunately, most people aren't interested in much beyond cosuming content. In the dev world, it mostly translates to working on video games, which is notorious for not being the smart choice.
- lytefm 4y agoI highly doubt that this is accurate. I'd say that most devs make relatively boring business software - making some process more efficient, moving data from A to B. I've met a few hundred devs irl and only a handful of them are game devs. If I ask google "How many software engineers are game developers", I get a 2% estimate from someone on Quora.
- burntoutfire 4y agoWhat I meant was - if devs try to follow their interests then, given their typical interests, many of them will end up in gamedev, which is not a happy place. Of course, most devs just follow money and ignore their interests, so they end up in boring business software you mentioned.
