>Good software engineers are characterized by determination and persistence, thanks to which they can deliver effective and intuitive solutions to end users. They must have a rich imagination, be up to date with industry trends, read a lot, stretch their knowledge to the limit, challenge the status quo, and go beyond their comfort zone every day.
Now do the other roles around software and you'll quickly realize this is heavy idealism. And sometimes those roles are even paid more.
- pipeline_peak 4y agoThe only thing I ever had to be "up to date on" was my deadline, the valued knowledge was always product specific. Idk why all this "shake things up" brogrammer Mr. Robot persona keeps buzzing by my ears, but never in my past 4 jobs have I heard "on the bench". I haven't worked at the most exciting places, but for every Google there are 10,000 DoD, Health Insurance, Asset tracking legacy-ware firms. They're workin hard, but I wouldn't quite say "challenging the status quo" lol.
